I'm not a floral person

Cruel Gardénia by GuerlainGuerlainCruel Gardénia4.076 ratings

As it says, I'm normally not big on clean floral fragrances. The base makes this so much more. That Sandalwood and musk really give it a home for the Gardina and peach. I don't get much of the rose, and I'm okay with that because if it says Gardina then that should be the focus for me.

She's sweet, soft musk powder, with floral.

    Ooo I need to check this one out. I’m not big on florals either, but love a sandalwood base and of course Guerlain can do no wrong.

      I don't like the floral bouquet smell, so when I have a floral fragrance, the floral is normally a supporter not a main.
