Delicate flower on a green branch
That’s exactly what is says – Gorgeous Jasmine. I received a tester as a gift with my other purchase, and I must say I didn’t expect much because I am not very into realistic jasmine or hard-core white florals, but this is so beautiful! At first blast, it’s fresh and floral – just what you’d expect. Then, an hour or so later, jasmine blooms into more intense, soapier self that I would whole-heartedly recommend to all white-flower fans. Then rose joins it producing warmer, sunnier impression, and jasmine begins to remind me mock-orange flowers, which I adore, with slight accents of solar notes and green leaves. Then I begin noticing magnolia coupled with benzoin, reminding me a bit of Zara Violet blossom or even Mugler’s Alien. Then sandalwood adds substance and creaminess, making it warmer.
Also, ever-so-delicate patchouli keeping it mysterious with a cool waft here and there! The tester leaflet didn’t list patchouli note and I thought I was imagining it half of the day, until I looked GFGJ up here and was reassured that I’m not hallucinating.
This is the best jasmine that I ever tried – not too intense, but not obscured by other ingredients, rather, tenderly supported by them, like a flower floating in sweet nectar. Other jasmine scents often peddle jasmine so much that you would be better off just using essential oil instead. Yet Gucci Flora creates an impression of a fresh delicate flower on a green branch, and it’s lovely. It makes you feel lovely too. Very inspiring perfume.
If I had to ascribe a personality to it, I would say it’s a young girl walking in the morning to her first office job, full of hopes and ambition, willing to impress, but also daydreaming about love. She wears white blouse, minimalistic sparkles of jewelry, and wind is playing with her shiny loose hair.
I perceive it as a perfect day or even morning scent, lovely for spring, cooler summer days, and early autumn. It has the freshness and the warmth enough to cover most of the year except the dramatic extremes. I am so amazed by it that I must post it right away, so no comment on longevity yet, but I plan to update.
