    The longevity is moderate, not a marathon, not a sprint. That's the trade. What you get instead is a fragrance that never needed to fill the room. It stays close.Iris Pallida
    Most fruity fragrances play it safe. Gardez doesn't. The drydown adds popcorn to black leather, and somehow it works. Not a crowd-pleaser. That's the point.Gardez
