Since I enjoy wearing Flora di Gucci and Gorgeous Magnolia, I was looking forward to Gorgeous Gardenia - especially since the lovingly painted bottle appeals to me.
I expect a lovely wildflower meadow that one carefully walks through barefoot to avoid bending the stems.
However, the quite
floral scent is accompanied by a harsh soapy note that doesn't quite match my expectations.
Alongside fruity and floral elements, the clean soap keeps peeking through.
Is the gardenia responsible for this cleanliness factor?
Thus, the lovely wildflower meadow loses its romance.
I can't perceive any sweetness - the scent remains floral but harsh for me.
Somehow unbalanced.
I would rather stick with Flora di Gucci and Gorgeous Magnolia.
Gucci fragrances have always seemed very weak to me. Nice? Yes, definitely. But indifferent. Surprisingly, after wearing them for a while, I noticed a strengthening over time. I usually can't make sense of the pyramids. And soapy? That's aldehydes. The mentioned flowers often don't match the pyramid.
