    What do reviewers say about Michael and Florence?

    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
    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
