    Real talk

    Some gardenias smell like memory. This one smells like a decision. The sandalwood gives it weight, the musk gives it warmth, and somewhere in the drydown you realize this was never a safe choice.Gardenia Grand Soir
    Fracas is not subtle and never pretends to be. The tuberose accord is aggressive, the projection is commanding, and this fragrance announces itself from across a room.Fracas
