What do reviewers say about Florence and Crystal 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
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
