What do reviewers say about Florence and Gardenia?
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
What you smell is the Black Opium effect, that coffee-vanilla sweetness distilled into something lighter and brighter, without the price tag or the pretense. The florals keep it from getting heavy.Gardenia
