Flora Gorgeous Gardenia

Flora by Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia

Gucci 2012 Eau de Toilette

~ Inspiration ~
So far, I have tested the regular "Flora" and "Glamorous Magnolia" from the Gucci "Flora Garden" line and was now curious about "Gorgeous Gardenia".

~ Bottle ~
The hexagonal shape indicates that this is a version of "Gucci Flora". It also features a thin black ribbon around the neck. The liquid in a delicate rose tone promises a subtle, floral scent. The name "Gorgeous Gardenia" means "Magnificent Gardenias".

~ Fragrance ~
It starts fruity-fresh with crisp green pears and tart red berries. The powerful floral heart of white gardenias and frangipani gives it a sweet yet slightly sultry aura, rounded off with brown sugar and patchouli in the base.

~ Longevity ~
On my skin, it lasts about 7 hours (on clothing and hair even longer). 2-3 sprays are sufficient, as it is quite intense and otherwise comes off too synthetic and overloaded. The sillage is unobtrusive but noticeable.

~ Occasion ~
A lush floral scent for the warmer days and evenings in spring, summer, and autumn.

~ Conclusion ~
You can recognize the typical "Flora" character of the perfume. It has a bit of "Oh Lola!" by Marc Jacobs.
