Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
To start, four quick points: 1) Nothing new, I’ve smelled this before. 2) It’s not bad; it’s elegant and classy. 3) I don’t like neroli—it’s annoying and dominates the opening. 4) After half an hour, jasmine, orange, and mandarin with a touch of tobacco take over. It ends up as a creamy white floral, very similar to YSL Libre or Armani My Way. It’s distinguished, versatile, and lasts all day. I liked it and added it to my wishlist. It also reminds me of Valentino Valentina and Lauder Beautiful; it’s not unique, but it’s a beautiful perfume.
Out of everything I own, this is my favorite. You can buy it blind and it won’t disappoint. It’s perfect for cold weather and night, but also works great in summer or in the afternoon thanks to its versatility. I love it; the first time I smelled it, I was truly smitten. Every time I wear it, people compliment it. The longevity is good. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it. Totally feminine.
I love it because it smells like a real perfume, but with a tobacco twist that gives it a spicy touch and highlights the flowers. It’s sweet, creamy, and cheerful, spectacular without being weird or ‘lady-like’. It puts me in a good mood and is ideal for spring. It lasts a long time and leaves a medium trail. Perfect for gifting. Notes: super sweet mandarin at the start, then neroli with smoky feminine tobacco and the creaminess of ylang between woods. Goes with any occasion.
I really like it because it smells like perfume, but with a pleasant twist: tobacco. It adds a spicy note that enhances the flowers. It’s sweet, creamy, and cheerful—spectacular yet not weird or smelling like ‘lady perfume.’ It makes me feel happy, perfect for spring. Long-lasting with moderate sillage. Ideal for gifting. Notes: super sweet mandarin at the start, then neroli with smoky tobacco and creamy ylang between woods. Goes with any occasion.
The top notes made me think it would be fresh, sweet, and light; I thought, ‘Oh, I like this!’. But then it reminded me of that typical ‘lady perfume’ smell—I forgive the stereotype, but that was my first thought :c. Also, the floral scent gives me a vibe of being at a cemetery. After an hour, the intensity drops and only a less sharp, woody floral sensation remains. I’m not an expert, but I perceive something ‘dirty’ in the base, I suppose it’s the tobacco it claims to have. Since I didn’t like it, I tried to gift it, but no one wanted it because they found it too strong and matronly.
The top notes made me think it would be fresh, sweet, and light… I said, ‘I like this!’ Then it reminded me of that typical ‘lady perfume’ smell (sorry for the stereotype). The floral vibe gave me a cemetery feeling. After an hour, the intensity drops and it becomes less sharp, more floral and woody. I’m not an expert, but I sense something ‘dirty’ at the base, probably the tobacco. Since I didn’t like it, I tried to gift it, but no one wanted it because it’s too strong and smells like ‘lady perfume.’
Exquisite! I bought it at a good price because I love Michael Kors Wonderlust, and it hasn’t disappointed. It has Wonderlust’s elegance, but soon you feel the tobacco, which isn’t strong but sensual and classy. It’s creamy and velvety; the tobacco sets it apart from cloying sweets. I recommend it—I bought it blind and loved it. Long-lasting with moderate sillage, about 6 hours. I’ll enjoy it more in autumn because in summer it’s very potent. I consider it more feminine than unisex.
Exquisite! I picked it up at a good price because I’m a fan of Michael Kors Wonderlust and it didn’t disappoint. It has that elegance, but minutes after applying it, I notice a soft tobacco touch that doesn’t bitter, but adds sensuality. It’s creamy and velvety; that note saves it from being cloying, making it sweet but with character. I recommend it; I bought it blind and loved it. The longevity is moderate, about 6 hours; I think I’ll enjoy it more in autumn because in summer it’s very potent. I see it as more feminine than unisex 🙂👍
Definitely not for me… too floral and heavy. I hoped the fresh citrus touch would last, but no, it stays neroli and jasmine on my nose. The performance on my skin is poor, though it lasts a bit longer on clothes. If someone loves pure floral, this is their perfume. Very lady-like.
Definitely not my fragrance… too floral and heavy. I expected the citrus freshness to linger, but it doesn’t… all I smell is neroli and jasmine. Poor performance on my skin; it lasts a bit longer on clothes. If you love purely floral scents, this one is for you. Very ladylike.
Incredible! I loved it and hesitated to buy it. I ordered online and canceled out of instinct, but I went to the store because I was fascinated. It’s definitely a great perfume; the neroli is amazing and reminds me of Gucci Bloom, very similar. Only that this Gorgeous is more powdery, not aquatic, with tobacco (which I never really noticed until today). It’s like they modernized Gucci Bloom, taking away the ‘old’ vibe. The tonka bean, cashmere, and cedar give it a fresh, renewed air. I don’t know why no one lists them as similar; I’m smelling them now, they’re siblings. Gorgeous is more modern, adult, and mature than Bloom. Exquisite, it has that incredible neroli trail that expresses eternal cheerfulness and softness; with the other notes, it adopts an exclusive cosmetic and woody tone. I was surprised by the salesperson’s recommendation. I can imagine it as a mix between Gucci Bloom and Armani My Way: sweet, can be a bit cloying, but the trail is spectacular. This wasn’t what I was looking for, nor do I usually wear, but it simply conquered me upon drying. I got home with the sample, opened my bag, and said ‘WTF…’. The scent had changed so much for the better. I initially held off on buying it because it wasn’t on my radar, but I couldn’t ignore that it smells delicious and so ‘chic’. It evolves, becoming sweet, cheerful, delicate, and delicious. I’ve already added it to my collection. Wish they’d make a flanker with a fruit like passion fruit, that would be the climax. Edit: heavily praised.
Incredible! I loved it but struggled to decide; I almost canceled my home delivery order out of fear of buying too quickly, but ended up going to the store because I was fascinated. It’s a great perfume—the neroli is the first thing you notice and reminds me a lot of Gucci Bloom, very similar, but this Gorgeous is more powdery, not aquatic, with that tobacco note I never appreciated until today. It’s like they modernized Gucci Bloom, taking away the ‘old’ vibe. The tonka bean, cashmere, cedar, and guaiac give it a fresh, renewed air. I’m smelling both right now; they’re siblings, but Gorgeous is more modern, adult, and mature than Bloom. Exquisite, it has that incredible neroli trail that expresses eternal joy and softness; when mixed with the rest, it gains an exclusive cosmetic and woody tone… I was very surprised by the salesperson’s recommendation. I imagine a blend between Gucci Bloom and Armani My Way; it’s sweet and can be a bit cloying. But the trail is spectacular, just like the name. Note: this wasn’t what I was looking for or what I usually wear; it simply conquered me in the dry-down. I arrived home with the sample, opened my bag, and said WTF… the scent had changed so much for the better. I held off on buying it at first because it wasn’t on my list, but I couldn’t ignore that it smells delicious and so ‘chic’—I never imagined that when testing it in the store. It evolves and becomes sweet, cheerful, delicate, and even delicious; I’ve already added it to my collection. Wish they’d make a flanker with a fruit like passion fruit, that would be the climax. Edit: heavily praised.
It’s very sparkling. I sense floral notes but without any intrusion. It puts me in a happy mood.
Gorgeous! I just added this fragrance to my collection. It’s a luminous, joyful floral explosion: a bouquet of white flowers, orange blossom, jasmine, neroli, and ylang-ylang that from the very first spray offer a comforting and pleasant sensation. I detect fresh and citrusy touches. On my skin, it evolves quickly; after 10 minutes, I smell the smoky tobacco with the woods, but very subtly, as if it were caressing the flowers. It’s not intrusive, it’s just present. Although they say the tobacco is in the heart, it’s not dominant; personally, I love it. If you’re looking for something novel because of the tobacco, you won’t find it; it’s an intense, pleasant floral scent, quite commercial, and excellent as a gift. Its performance delighted me: amazing trail, projects well for the first two hours, then settles down but lasts 7 hours. I feel it’s very versatile, works in all seasons. Even though it’s not novel, I like it because I want something that makes me happy and makes me feel comfortable, and Gorgeous delivered on that.
