    Real talk

    If you already own Crystal Gardenia and Iconic Gardenia smells familiar, that is the point, the gardenia in this bottle is doubled down. No hedging. No apology.Iconic 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
