Dark Florum is an unapologetically bold, dark floral that's either utterly captivating or just too much. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but for those who love complex, theatrical scents with immense personality, this niche masterpiece delivers a stunning, long-lasting experience.

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
