Flora Emerald Gardenia

Gucci Flora Emerald Gardenia presents a light, airy, and fresh floral profile with a distinctly fruity aquatic opening dominated by lemon, pear, and watermelon. The heart unfolds with soft frangipani and gardenia notes, giving it a delicate, creamy floral character that feels more like a summer garden than a traditional gardenia perfume. The dry down is softly musky and woody, grounded by sandalwood and cedar, adding a subtle depth without becoming spicy or heavy. While the scent is praised for its elegance, cleanliness, and wearable simplicity, it is consistently reported to have weak longevity and moderate sillage. Some users find the fragrance brief and fleeting, with noticeable fading within an hour, and another notes the smell is barely perceptible on skin. It suits spring and summer, especially during daytime wear in warm weather. Despite its popularity among those seeking a subtle, non-intrusive floral, the scent's performance is a common point of disappointment, reportedly weaker than expected for a designer fragrance.
