Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cruel Gardénia Eau de Parfum

Don't let the name fool you, there's nothing 'Cruel' about this; it's a soft, clean, musky floral. While many adore its elegant, creamy scent, others find it too subtle, fleeting, or just overpriced soap. It's a divisive scent, so sample it before you splurge.

Our Verdict - Nectar de Fleurs Parfum

A simply beautiful, softly spoken floral that's comforting and refined, though some find it a tad too soapy on skin. It's a modern classic, perfect for those who appreciate a delicate touch.
