What do reviewers say about Gardenia and Le Muguet?
This isn't the gardenia you find in summer soaps. Floris built a white floral with structure, bergamot keeps it crisp, but the gardenia and ylang-ylang underneath push toward something richer, warmer.Gardenia
It doesn't try to modernize lily of the valley. It just does it well, with a few red berries in the foreground and a rose-rounding that makes the drydown worth the wait.Le Muguet
Good to know
