What do reviewers say about Diorissimo and Gardenia?
Diorissimo is not for those who want their florals pretty and polite. This is the real thing, green and alive, with a rawness that feels almost botanical.Diorissimo
Some gardenias smell like perfume. This one smells like the flower itself, natural, effortless, broad-smiled. It's the kind of white floral that gets worn for decades because it never stops feeling.Gardenia
