Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Narcotic Venus Extrait
This is a seriously polarising white floral that screams 'femme fatale' to some and 'air freshener' to others. If you live for heady tuberose with a hint of something feral, this might be your Venus. If not? You'll be scrubbing it off.

Our Verdict - Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia Eau de Parfum
This is *the* white floral for those who want to smell like an actual gardenia or tuberose in full, heady bloom. It's a statement, a showstopper, and certainly not subtle - love it or hate it, it demands attention and delivers pure, unadulterated floral luxury.
