Flora Gorgeous Gardenia by Gucci

I never thought about buying a Gucci; the brand always sounded excessive and tacky to me, plus I have friends who go crazy just for the logo. But I was gifted the Flora in December and I was blown away: it smells exquisite, a soft and perfectly balanced floral I’d never tried before. It’s pure floral, nothing more—beautiful and spot on. The bottle and name fit perfectly. It’s ideal for daytime, and I’ll be using it a lot this summer. The only downside is it doesn’t last at all; I have to reapply every couple of hours. Despite that, everyone has complimented it, and I’d definitely buy it again even if its sillage is poor.

It smells good, simple, and pleasant. It might seem like a scent for an older lady, but that doesn’t bother me. The only reason I wouldn’t buy it is the poor longevity: I apply the sample and it barely lasts minutes; I’ve tried it several times and it’s the same. I don’t know if it’s my skin, but for me, longevity is vital in a perfume, and this isn’t the case. If you’re looking for something more intimate and subtle, it could be a good option.

It smells very much like flowers and makeup, like powder.

When I went to the perfumery to smell this, I picked it out right away to buy soon. It has a floral scent that isn’t cloying, which is why I liked it.

I love it. On my skin, it feels fresh and more fruity than floral. It’s feminine, cheerful, and easy to wear daily, especially during the day. I love the dry-down; when it settles, it’s different (like a sweet, soft body cream) and it surprised me. I was finishing work and wondered what my scent would be; when I smelled my wrist, it was me. On skin, it lasts about 8 hours with moderate sillage the first hour and soft sillage the rest. It doesn’t leave a trail, but you can enjoy it when people get close.

I was looking for a gift and a department store let me smell this perfume, and I fell in love with the scent, totally feminine with a quite rich and refined aroma.

I agree with Jaxferr; it smells like a little boy’s shampoo, though I can’t remember the name. It’s a rich fragrance, floral but not overwhelming, though it’s not imperceptible—it stands out in its own way. A very pleasant perfume.

I bought it blindly, excited about the top and heart notes but worried about the patchouli. It’s exquisite, sweet, floral, and very tender. I think the pear note is my favorite, especially with that sugary base. It’s not complex, but I loved it.

Flowers, red fruits, and freshness… a light lactonic touch not listed in the notes, but I definitely feel it on my skin. I love this fragrance; it’s not groundbreaking, but it feels different from the traditional floral-fruity style—it’s not as overdone. The price is high (at least in Mexico) for what it lasts… I have to reapply every 2 hours 😖 and since it’s Gucci, I expected beast mode longevity. I can’t imagine it competing with Viva la Juicy or Tease.

It’s a sweet floral scent that’s not cloying, pleasant but not particularly novel; it doesn’t impress olfactorily. The presentation is beautiful; the bottle is meant to be kept on the vanity as decor. In comparisons, it resembles a girl’s cologne quite a bit (and surely lasts longer on skin), so the trail and longevity are a joke for the excessive price.

What can I say about this perfume? I liked it, but it’s not a masterpiece. It smells like flowers, fruits, and sugar, and on dry skin it acts like a body cream. It’s rich, but the price is completely unjustified; they’re charging for the brand name, not the quality or the scent, wow! It’s great for everyday wear and looks lovely, very coquette style.

It smells like sweet, delicious flowers, like bubblegum, and it’s hard to imagine anyone disliking it. The only downside is that I have to literally empty the bottle for it to last two hours and have any sillage; it’s a shame because the scent is so good.

It smells divine. The flowers combined with brown sugar give a sweet and pleasant scent, nothing cloying, and it has that incredible clean smell without losing elegance. The only thing I noticed is that after four hours, it’s completely gone. It is expensive, yes, but it’s worth it because it smells amazing.

You can definitely smell the flowers and brown sugar strongly at first, though it ends up being soft. I liked it, but if you’re not into floral and sweet perfumes, this isn’t for you.

The first thing I notice when spraying it is the sweetness of the pear, followed by the floral bouquet with the gardenia that gives it its name and the jasmine, all with a touch of brown sugar. It’s floral and sweet but not annoying, ideal for spring and summer (and even in the cold). I love the floral design of the box and the bottle; it smells nice and is very decorative.
