    Real talk

    Gardenia divides people. Some find it intoxicating, others get a headache before the first minute is up. The honest answer is this: it's not subtle. It's lush and indolic and unapologetically floral.Gardenia Passion
    Fracas is not subtle and never pretends to be. The tuberose accord is aggressive, the projection is commanding, and this fragrance announces itself from across a room.Fracas
