    Real talk

    An affordable fragrance that actually delivers. The floral woody musk character offers warm, wearable elegance with moderate projection, making it a smart choice over expensive alternatives.Gold
    Florence is the fragrance you reach for when you want to smell like you bathed in gardenias on a warm morning. The opening is bright and brief, the heart is where it lives, and the drydown is barely.Florence
