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.

Al Waseem is a proper shape-shifter, opening with a bold, almost feminine floral punch that miraculously dries down to an old-school barbershop scent. It's a challenging ride for some, but many reckon the dry-down is utterly worth the wait for this surprisingly complex and versatile scent.
