Two notes. That's the whole brief. And somehow Cedre Sambac makes you wonder why you'd ever need more, the cedar pulling the jasmine toward something thoughtful.Hermessence Cedre Sambac
This is the gardenia for people who appreciate indolic whites, the kind that doesn't announce itself, but earns attention. Jasmine leads the opening, which surprises anyone expecting a polite floral.Essence No. 2 Gardenia
