What do reviewers say about 5th Avenue and Brilliance?
This is unapologetically floral. The opening bursts with green-citrus energy before tuberose and jasmine take over. Clove and nutmeg add unexpected warmth.5th Avenue
The lily of the valley and lilac here are doing something rare, they're nostalgic without being dusty, romantic without being heavy. If you've ever wanted to smell like a Gunne Sax dress.Brilliance
