What do reviewers say about Gardenia Petale and Pure Poison?
This isn't the gardenia that announces itself. It's the one you notice after you've been near someone for a while, that soft, creamy sweetness that seems to come from nowhere and everywhere at once.Gardenia Petale
White florals at their most deliberate. This is the fragrance that doesn't ask permission, it just takes up space, cool and creamy and unafraid. Pure Poison isn't trying to convert you.Pure Poison
