What do reviewers say about Une Voix Noire and Reserve Collection: Velvet Gardenia?
Lutens didn't reach for the gardenia of a spring bouquet. He reached for the one that's been sitting in a glass for three days, the petals browning at the edges.Une Voix Noire
This is gardenia without training wheels. Big, indolic, waxy, it doesn't whisper, it leans in. The honey and beeswax give it a sensual weight that pushes past polite.Reserve Collection: Velvet Gardenia
