What do reviewers say about Sand & Sable and Florence?
The gardenia either pulls you in or sends you running. It's loud, it's tropical, it's that Coppertone warmth. Some find it cloying. Others find it exactly right.Sand & Sable
Florence is the fragrance you reach for when you want to smell like you bathed in gardenias on a warm morning. The opening is bright and brief, the heart is where it lives, and the drydown is barely.Florence
