Which Should You Buy?
A floral cheapie that punches well above its weight, Elizabeth Taylor's Gardenia is a divisive blind buy: for some, it's a realistic, dewy gardenia masterpiece; for others, it's a sharp, synthetic disappointment. But for those who love it, this is a fresh, clean, and surprisingly opulent white floral.
Diorissimo is a pure, unadulterated white floral bomb. While some find its classic, understated elegance absolutely stunning, others are left wanting more depth and longevity. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for muguet worshipers, this is the definitive scent.
