Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 3 Fleurs Eau de Parfum

This "grand floral" is a classic for a reason, but be warned: it's not for the faint of heart. Expect a heady, old-school bouquet that demands to be noticed, with some finding it intoxicating and others, frankly, overwhelming.

Our Verdict - Gardenia Eau de Parfum

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.

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it too much for most office settings, but perfect for formal events or a romantic date night. The rich, heady florals lend themselves poorly to casual or sporty activities.
