Fragrance Notes
Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Intense
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Intense Eau de Parfum is a three material fragrance, and the shortness of that row is the point rather than an oversight. Gardenia carries it. That flower is one of the richest in perfumery, creamy and white with a faintly green, almost mushroom like freshness at its edge, and here it is given the room to be exactly itself rather than being buried under supporting material. If you like gardenia you will like this. If you do not, nothing else in the bottle will change your mind.
Mandarin orange lifts the opening, sweet and juicy and brief, lasting only as long as it takes the flower to arrive. Sandalwood takes the other end, creamy and soft and a touch milky, which suits gardenia better than a harder base would. The two of them frame the flower without arguing with it. Honorine Blanc composed it, and the word Intense in the name refers to the concentration rather than to any added complexity. What you get is the same idea at a higher volume and a longer run, which is what people generally want from a flower they already love.
Expect good staying power and moderate projection, with the first hour the loudest. It is worn by women, it suits spring and summer evenings, and it is better sprayed lightly than enthusiastically. Short rows like this one are honest about what they are, and this one is honest about being a gardenia scent. A 2021 release.
Gucci was founded in Florence in 1921 by Guccio Gucci, beginning with luggage and bags before moving into accessories and clothing. The house belongs to Kering, and its beauty and fragrance business has always been run by outside licensees rather than in house.
