Our verdict on Splendor: Favourite

Splendor is a surprisingly beautiful and timeless floral, a proper crowd-pleaser that punches way, way above its price point. It's a genuine gem for spring, despite its dated reputation.

About

Splendor opens with a vibrant, dewy burst of green florals and fruit, notably bright hyacinth and sweet pineapple. It quickly blossoms into a bountiful garden of white florals, with lily-of-the-valley and jasmine taking centre stage, evoking a clean, fresh bouquet. The dry down settles into a soft, woody musk, maintaining a fresh purity, almost like a high-end soap or luxurious skin lotion.
