What do reviewers say about Fleur Burlesque and Essence No. 2 Gardenia?
This is theatrical. Not in a costume sense, in a presence sense. The white florals here don't play delicate. They bloom loud, warm, and a little animalic.Fleur Burlesque
This is the gardenia for people who appreciate indolic whites, the kind that doesn't announce itself, but earns attention. Jasmine leads the opening, which surprises anyone expecting a polite floral.Essence No. 2 Gardenia
