Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Aqua Allegoria Jasminora Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous, natural jasmine that captures the scent of a blooming garden. While some found it fleeting or too sharp, most praise its authentic floral freshness. It's a real shame it's been discontinued, as fans can't get enough.
