What do reviewers say about Gardenia and Tuberosa?
Some gardenias smell like perfume. This one smells like the flower itself, natural, effortless, broad-smiled. It's the kind of white floral that gets worn for decades because it never stops feeling.Gardenia
The projection is notable. If you're choosing this, you're choosing to be noticed through a presence that lingers after you've gone. Strong sillage suits certain occasions.Tuberosa
