What do reviewers say about Michael and Crystal Gardenia?
Tuberose this assertive isn't for the cautious. If that's your thing, and it should be, you'll find something here that works: lasting power, warmth that rewards proximity.Michael
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
