Real talk
Sweet and savory in one bottle shouldn't work. It does. The yuzu-vanilla opening is bright and unexpected, but the ginger-pimento drydown is where this earns its name.Umami
This is gardenia without apology. Sweet, creamy, relentlessly floral, it follows you from first spray to final fade. Either that's exactly what you want, or it's too much of a good thing.Sotto La Luna Gardenia
