Which Should You Buy?
This green floral is a divisive beast: some find it a delightful, dewy spring garden, while others are bludgeoned by sharp, synthetic notes. It's a fresh, clean scent that carries a heavy dose of nostalgia, particularly for those familiar with its 90s predecessor.
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.
