Gucci’s new Flora by Gucci - The Garden Review

Hello Ladies,

I’m a perfume addict; I have always bought different perfumes and just love wearing all kinds of scents (floral scents being my least favorite).  Recently, I was given samples of Gucci’s new Flora by Gucci - The Garden.  The trio named Gorgeous Gardenia, Gracious Tuberose and Glamorous Magnolia are a bouquet of gorgeous smelling flowers.

Gorgeous Gardenia (pink)

Gorgeous Gardenia is my favorite scent out of the three by far. Good gardenia scents are hard to find and when you do find one it will most likely be expensive. Gorgeous Gardenia smells very fruity, floral and sugary all in one bottle. I can smell gardenia in it but it’s very, very, very light. I’m not a fan of floral scents but I like this one it’s very light on the floral and a little heavier on the sugar and fruit.  

Description: red berries, pear, gardenia petals, frangipani flower, patchouli and brown sugar.

Glamorous Magnolia (blue)

Glamorous Magnolia is the one I was least interested in, decent magnolia fragrances are even harder to find than decent gardenia fragrances.  Unlike the light scent of gardenia in gorgeous gardenia this one has a stronger Magnolia scent. This is one of those really light fragrances and almost feels watered down. It smells kind of like fresh citrus, cucumber & magnolia with a little bit of musk.  I really didn’t care much for this one I’ve even wore it to work so the scent can grow on me. Luckily the scent is so “watered down” I couldn’t smell it anymore within 2 hours of putting it on.

Description:  magnolia, freesia, citrus, green leaves, peony, sandalwood, musk, and chocolate.

Gracious Tuberose (green)

Gracious Tuberose was my favorite scent of the trio when I first opened the bottles, after testing them and wearing them it fell second to Gorgeous Gardenia.  In the bottle it smells kind of sweet and has light woody smell. When I put it on it smelled more like roses and like I’ve said I love perfume but the flower smell is not my favorite, out of the bottle though it is a very light, fresh scent.

Description:  Violet, peach, cedar wood, cistus & tuberose.

Overall, if I’m in a hurry to go out at night and have to put on perfume these wouldn’t be the first scents I reach for but I like them enough to buy them and wear them only sometimes.  You can find the trio at Sephora or Macy’s. Thank you BzzAgent for the opportunity!
