I wanted to try this because Miley Cyrus is the face of it lol. This is such a sweet warm fragrance, but doesnt last on me. A perfect, simple, floral and a bit fruity daytime fragrance for spring and summer. Often end up seeing a note I wanted in something that wasn't listed on the notes reference list. On my wrists though? Unfortunately my skin really amplifies sweet notes and in short order this started to smell like a cheap bathroom air freshener on me :( . I didn't realize how much this smelled like tease until I compared them side by side. complete let down in that regard, i expect i'll have to douse myself in this overspraying to the max in order for me to smell myself in my scent bubble. I would not spend more than 3 on this. I got an hour and a half and this fragrance was GONE! I dont know what it is but it pulled me in. I can see this being the first fragrance for a teenage girl. To me, It has a very muted base of creamy floral and a hint of dry powdery, makeup-like gardenia. I assumed this will have a much better performance than the EDT. Oh yes it is absolutely gorgeous. But boy was i wrong. Very femenine, very much gives the effect of a light cream or soap on skin.. its not a perfume but a scent. For $134 per bottle, this perfume is an insult. I received this fragrance as gift from my lovely mom and its not bad its just basic.
It lasts forever and it smells like a fresh shower. I think this is mesmerizing and unique, despite what some people say. Boring and forgettable scent. But it's not a spray bottle like I thought. And, I tested this nice perfume today, and yes, it was very nice, I like it very much, but, it smells as if BS Fantasy in Bloom, and JS Ten, and JC La La had a baby - than it would have smelled as this Flora.
I'll try it again in the fall..well see. This is a lovely scent, however on my skin this smells almost identical to tease by victoria secret. I reapplied it and timed it from when it was sprayed to when it completely faded. i just have a travel size and i seriously need a bigger bottle, also the bottle is gorgeous is unique to my other perfumes. If it stayed longer then it would have definitely been my favorite. Wish I got brown sugar from this but I dont. I think it is definitely worth adding to my collection. I wish it lasted longer on the skin. I've been seeing people raving about this one for a long time, and finally got a chance to try it. That's enough for me! View. However, it has a strange burnt plastic like smell when it settles. It's fresh, sweet, and inoffensive, if a bit generic. I sampled this today in Ulta and had to buy it.
It may not be the most innovative but it is really beautiful sweet nostalgia in a bottle. I find it to be lovely and I wish everything I owned smelled like it, but on me it became too powdery, too heavy, and not very pleasant. It was at that moment i decided Gorgeous Gardenia had to go back. A super soft, light, clean white floral scent with a hint of juicy sweetness. Also, a skin scent. Nice and feminine. Im pretty sure when this new version came out I RUSHED to buy it. So beautiful. I typically cant tolerate patchouli- so much so that if it is listed as a note I immediately write it off. I am so surprised at how much I love this perfume. Mmm. Will have to see how this one is after a few hours, but I doubt it will be an issue for me. I love this scent but cannot forgive the fact that it does not last. As it was mentioned by others, the problem here is longevity. This is art to me. I honestly just wanted this perfume mostly for the bottle and because I love the original gucci flora but its a very generic scent and I was a little sad when I tried it because I get no brown sugar notes when I smell it or even in the dry down but still a great scent and good for everyday wear if you're trying to keep it simple for the day! Not for me. A creamy white floral. Guys this is listed as a layerable fragrance on sites you purchase it from.
At first I get a plain, generic floral scent which honestly could have been from the dollar store. Generic - smells identical to Viva la juicy. They're very similar, not dupes but pretty close. This girl is bold, confident, sexy and very tender at the same time. I love this fragrance, it is so soft, everyone that smells me loves it..the smell dosen't last long but that suits me.I love, love itthe gucci flora gorgeous gardenia is the best buy I have found in yearsI would recommend this fragrance to anyone..especially someone who likes a soft, suttle smell Has a really good smell. Unisex floral, there is something fresh and unique about it.
It's not. I went straight down to my nearest fragrance shop and got a sample on a card and I loved it. I received a card with this perfume and decided to test it, I became immediately obsessed and kept smelling myself the entire day/evening. Lovely sweet floral perfume. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. I will definitely purchase a full bottle, it's pretty! I own them both but today is the first time that hit me. The quality is similar to what you would get with a 10 euro Victoria's Secret mist. Base notes of brown sugar and patchouli play host to middle notes of frangipani and gardenia, while the fresh top notes of pear and red berries refresh you on a warm spring day. This smells exactly like Victoria secret tease , B&BW endless weekend , and viva la juicy. After about 30 minutes or so, the patchouli note really came out in the dry down and it was a very strange combination. I found a dupe that Id say is 95% identicalZara cashmere rose. and i realized that this smells exactly the same as Tease upon the first sniff. A liiiiittle boring. Yet fragrantica doesn't show all perfumes with brown sugar note so beautiful. I tend to overspray with this. It's like being in a garden on the first warm spring day feeling the sunshine on your face. They definitely dont have the same opening, but where it ends up is so close. Something went wrong. Ironically it doesnt have much lasting power, and once the opening fades away you can hardly detect it. Reading the negative reviews I cant agree. lovely scent !!! however, this smells only like pear with my chemistry and is surprisingly sharp, as well. Reminds me of the scent Barbies used to have in the 90's. It is a day time fragrance to me and suitable for year round wear but dont expect any compliments as unless you shove your wrist directly under someones nose.. they wont detect it!! I'm a cliche. By 2 hours in, i constantly had my arm pressed against my nose trying to detect the nothing that was left of this fragrance. It's bright and beautiful and warm, a truly lovely and delicious scent, and the bottle is gorgeous. To me it is a fresh, sweet, addictive bouquet of sweet spring flowers with delicate white petals. This smells nothing like gardenia to me . The dry down is just gorgeous and gets better and better. It's a guaranteed mothers day purchase. This is a lovely, fruity perfume that is pretty inoffensive and it is definitely a compliment getter. All I get is sugary pears. This is a weaker Viva la juicy. Theyre both equally beautiful at their outset. Mostly smells like patchouli and brown sugar, not florals. It doesn't stand out as a knock your socks off fragrance but it is pleasant enough to put a smile on your face on a rainy day. This is really fun and playful. Bad thing about it: longevity could be better. As much as i love the Gorgeous Gardenia scent, it's not worth even paying $30 for it. | | Nederlands | Srpski | Romn | | | | |, Copyrights 2006-2022 Fragrantica.com perfumes magazine - All Rights Reserved - do not copy anything without prior written permission. If you love tonka this might be for you though. I couldn't forget about it because it was so pretty. And thats exactly what this is. I LOATHE florals so I never gave this a second thought. It is also perfect for someone like me who is not the biggest fan of florals but enjoys just a titch of floral every so often. Long hair. Lasts a while, even after I took a shower and washed my hands a few times (where I sprayed it). I saw someone say the dry down is similar to the dry down of pac ce soir and i actually really see that as well. It reminds me of the first few months when I was with my wife, an unexpected but oh-so-kind blossoming romance featuring evening walks in late spring. Morillas Mrs Blanc created an art in the bottle.
Thanks for the warnings ladies. The bottle is beautiful. Only lasted about 5-6 hours on my skin and hair. I'm not a fan of VLJ, so I thought this was very cloying and it actually was starting to give me a headache. Copyright 1995-2022 eBay Inc. All Rights Reserved. to borrow the words of a journalist i forgot gucci is a one trick pony without a trick. flora, like bloom, is a generic white floral fragrance that is as boring as it is stifling and unpleasant. Its just okay. The opening is beautiful- bright, fresh, floral, and sweet, and my love affair with this fragrance only grew deeper. Also it lasts a long time on my skin. For about a week, this fragrance lingered in my head. Although gardenia is in the name, it smells like no gardenias were harmed in the making of this fragrance. The pear blossom is very there as well, but I dont smell any pear as others have claimed. It's a very gentle floral scent that reminds me of catching whiffs of flowers in the spring breeze. I find a lot of florals to be way too screechy & loud but this one is light and fresh, slightly sweet & whimsical with just enough notes in there to keep it from falling into the air freshener floral category. It is definitely overpriced being layerable and all but its Gucci after all. Beautiful fresh uplifting fragrance! The more I smell the card the more I crave it and thinking about getting a bottle. Love at first sniff. This is beautiful! The brown sugar and patchouli are so subtle you nearly miss them. I do love the delicate sweetness that lingers for many hours on myself. Update: I bought this instead of Kayali28.
All I could smell was a non-descriptive caramel, sweet note. The opening is very very similar to Juicy Couture but it's changing and getting softer whilst wearing. I didnt want to like this. Fell in love with this scent at first whiff and kept coming back to it! Gone after 30 , 45 mins super skin scent. Try it for something different. A friend of mine sprayed a sample on my wrist and at first wiff I get something minty and some tea vibes like anis.

It disappeared almost instantly. Luckily I only tested this and didn't buy the bottle. You need to re-sprayed. again and again. I can't believe people pay the prices they do for this stuff. I bought it blindly based on reviews because I love gardenia, but I don't get much gardenia, perhaps because it's blended well. Maybe it is just how it reacts with my chemistry. I gifted this to my sister who is a perfume nut and I was almost certain she would return it but she liked it enough to keep it. It was sitting in the back of my head. A delicious and crowd-pleasing pear shampoo, but elevated in scent profile by the patchouli. Anyway, I went to Macys today with a few other frags in mind to test and buy but all of the ones I was looking for had no testers! So unfortunate because it really is a lovely fragrance. There's nothing gorgeous about this - a boring, synthetic-smelling body mist in a seriously overpriced bottle. It's like a summer breeze full of pear blossoms and flowers.
Not floral at all. However, and this might just be the way it reacts to my skin chemistry, the middle weirdly reminds me of Windex or some other household cleaner. Gonna see what other perfume combos I can make with this one. I really love the scent and it reminds me of something else. This smells almost exactly like Viva La Juicy, it's actually 5% better apon initial spray. I like this, it's nothing special but it's a beast performer. Poor performance. However that one has terrible performance as well. I really want a scent with brown sugar yet the notes reference list on here doesn't always show the full list.

I absolutely love this perfume, the combination of brown sugar and gardenia in the fragrance notes really hits that sweet spot for me, this perfume is the perfect combination of sweet, floral, clean/fresh smelling, you can really smell the brown sugar and gardenia in this and it's just so lovely. The clean, almost soapy white florals are so well balanced with a warm brown sugar sweetness and light juicy pear note. It's not complex, it's not unique, it's not necessarily artistic or evocative, but that's ok. I have something almost identical to this (it's called Juicy Couture Noir btw) except after the beautiful initial opening of Gucci Flora there is a note in this that becomes apparent to my nose that I don't care for maybe it's blackcurrant. Gucci and I are serious BFFs! I tried it as well and while I really liked the smell of it, I don't think it lasts too long and is way overpriced because of that. It's a very light and pleasant scent that will be very appropriate for teenagers. I really love this fragrence, the brown sugar and gardenia work really well together to make a beautiful candy like white floral. Gucci should create body lotion or cream for extra power. This is a soft gentle floral with a warm, slightly wild heart.
Nice parfum and bottle but I was looking for this to be a lot more pronounced it smells pretty but it's a little weak..maybe the next one don't stop trying gucci.. This might work well with certain skin types but on mine the pear blossom/brown sugar/patchouli quickly outpaces/cheapens the floral and I'm reminded of a certain over-wrought 90s scent one of my childhood friends mother used to wear - their house in North Jersey stunk of it, peeling leather couches, and Keeshond dander. Similar to the original with its fruity-floral vibe but smoother .. the adjusted notes really add a velvety vibe. This is a DEAD ringer for it, the dry down especially. So you can imagine how shocked I was to discover this smells almost like a celebrity fragrance along the lines of Ariana Grande or Britney Spears type perfumes. I don't find it to be similar to Viva La Juicy, GG smells way more expensive and richer to my nose. I don't think I'll be paying the same price in future though. I think. gosh this is the most beautiful and comforting floral ive ever tried. Im not a floral person, but if you are, you will like this. Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing. Im the type of person who gets those brewing headaches triggered by patchouli. Please read the Terms of Service and Privacy policy. Very similar to Viva La Juicy, right down to the lack of lasting power lol. But it doesnt trigger a headache like other patchouli strong fragrances do. So disappointed with this.. For this weak performance i would pay like 20$ max on this perfume Not worth the money.. I really liked it in store, so I bought one online. The full name may be "Flora Gorgeous Gardenia," but I barely get florals from this - and I say this as a floral lover.
It feels youthful and has the perfect mix of freshness and flowers so it's definitely in the group of florals and no gourmand. Im imagining myself wearing this while taking a stroll through the park when everything is in bloom, stopping to admire the flowers. Nope!
Reminds me of a Vegas boutique. Anyway Gorgeous Gardenia has a Gucci Flora Vibe as well which I love. A sweet, warm floral without being too sweet or heavy. It wasnt as sweet as Id remembered and was more floral, too. I was there for about an hour, sniffing literally every frgarance lol. I dont know why I get a hint a mint in this. I don't have anything against the brand, but i've smelled so many of their fragrances and have not smelled one that i actually liked enough to want to buy.
Not what I expected. if you want to pay for the brand name, of course go ahead, it is a pretty and a bit young spring-summer fragrance ! It's just not there long. Heres why I didnt end up buying it.
I had this same problem with Versaces Eros, in which tonka bean overpowered everything once it hit my skin. This was love at first sniff and just keeps on getting better. If you like one, I think youd like the other. I spray it as a pick me up in the middle of the day! Gardenia and Jasmine are 2 of my favorite florals, that with the sweet refreshing pear blossom opening and the deeper brown sugar and patchouli just blends so beautifully. The lasting power could be better, but all around a solid purchase. This is 130 for 100ml, whereas the victoria secret body spray is 15 for 250ml, so save yourself some money. Where are my flowers? But I would be much happier to receive it as a gift. The dry down is nearly identical to Juicy Noir, which means it ends in a super pretty place. Very artificial, non descript floral scent. Sillage and longevity should be much better for this price point, but I loved it enough to purchase a bottle anyway.

But the lasting power is literally less than 1 hour . I got a sample, sprayed, and thought this smells like something from the 90s. The patchouli note is there, sure. Its really sweet and generic. Marissa Zappas Announces A New Collection + A Giveaway! I love almost every perfume they make and this one is no exception. This smells just like a Victoria Secret's perfume and it also doesn't last long. I don't want this to sound mean, because it's a nice scent, but my brain IMMEDIATELY had such a clear thought upon smelling it on blotter paper: "if Bath & Body Works created a luxury line.". A fruity, sweet floral that I'll enjoy wearing this summer. The botte is so gorgeous and has a vintage vibe to it. Not a fan of the bottle, I think it looks like something you would get at the dollar store.Knowing that they have used the name "Flora Gorgeous Gardenia" for different scents over the years makes me not want to buy and get attached to this beautiful scent. I can happily say this is literally my favourite perfume - but I can only really wear it in the spring and summer. Pas is a beast and more flirty, appropriate for summer! This is everything! It smells good but I was expecting more of a white floral with gardenia. Only bummer is the longevity. This smells incredible . smells just like a late spring/early summer day at like noon. The pear blossom is a lovely fragrant touch though I wish I could smell more patchoulin to balance this perfume out a little. its very light , delicate, dainty & softits not overpowering at all which i love cuz sometimes i just dont want to scream "hey im wearing a bottle of perfume " lol. Oh yeah, I am exactly that person whose existence @O+M+D doubted.Alas, I have never tested a Viva la Juicy perfume in my life. I do get white florals but it's not an overt gardenia scent. Sprayed this on myself very generously and it lasted 1 - 2 hours on me. It's a wonderful spring scent, with a very lush gardenia. I liken this fragrance to milk chocolate; everyone says they prefer dark or that it's too sweet - but really it's a guilty pleasure we are afraid to admit we adore. And, of cause I have 3 of Flora parents, and therefor I don't need to buy their baby yet, but, it's of cause a very beautiful baby =)). Now that the weather is getting hotter Ive been reaching for it almost every day because its one of the only scents I own that isnt too heavy for summer.
