Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, if divisive, white floral bomb that demands attention. If you adore tuberose, you'll likely be head-over-heels for its creamy, tropical embrace. But be warned, its powerful sillage and longevity aren't for the faint of heart, making it too much for some.
This Penhaligon's Gardenia is a divisive one. Many adore its classic, clean white floral profile, conjuring images of English garden parties and elegant nobility, but others find it a screechy, headache-inducing granny scent that's far too much for their liking. Definitely sample before you commit.
