    What do reviewers say about Gardenia and Fairy Dust?

    What you smell is the Black Opium effect, that coffee-vanilla sweetness distilled into something lighter and brighter, without the price tag or the pretense. The florals keep it from getting heavy.Gardenia
    The lactonic quality in Fairy Dust is the whole point. Milky, sweet, slightly powdered, it's comfort scent territory. Some find it too synthetic, but the cozy-warm drydown keeps people coming back.Fairy Dust
