What do reviewers say about Crystal Gardenia and Alien?
Tuberose and gardenia together is a statement. It says you want the full white floral experience, no quiet edits. Animalic musk underneath keeps it from being a bouquet.Crystal Gardenia
Alien is not subtle. Jasmine leads without apology, cashmeran provides the comfort, amber the afterthought that keeps people asking what you're wearing. It divides opinion for good reason.Alien
