Just bought this at the duty-free on my way home from holiday. cart reminders) from FragranceNet.com at the cell number used when signing up. I bought this today and I absolutely LOVE the smell of it. Reading the negative reviews I cant agree. I just realized today that the dry down is kinda sorta similar to BDK Pas Ce Soir. Id say BDK is the better performer though. Since the bottle is so cute and I'm a huge Miley Cyrus fan, I'll keep it around for when I need something weaker on purpose. It has a quiet elegance which I find very alluring. Overall, I am so disappointed that this didn't smell better on me, because it really is a beautiful scent in the bottle. And, of cause I have 3 of Flora parents, and therefor I don't need to buy their baby yet, but, it's of cause a very beautiful baby =)). An all year round perfume. I never buy perfume based on what the bottle looks like. Often end up seeing a note I wanted in something that wasn't listed on the notes reference list. I wish it lasted longer on the skin. Definitely a safe blind buy for any Bloom fans or high femme she/her/hers. I would purchase this one immediately but performance sucks. Only lasted about 5-6 hours on my skin and hair. It was at that moment i decided Gorgeous Gardenia had to go back. All I get is sugary pears. I do smell the candied pear blossom and patchouli. But this is a safe blind buy for sure, Tried this one today, and it surprised me. Hate to be a hater but this smells like unfiltered apple juice and a cheap shampoo. Very expansive (AUD $213) perfume; with not really long lasts scent. my skin ate those floral notes up! It is definitely overpriced being layerable and all but its Gucci after all. It lasts pretty long on clothes. Either way, I'm a bit disappointed that this doesn't measure up to Bloom. It's bright and a little fruity, which I am very particular about when its done right, I'm all about it. Msg frequency varies. I was initially thinking that this would be a good addition for my collection but the longevity is horrendous on me. The sales associate that I was working with described it as the most beautiful laundry detergent that you'll ever smell, and she was right! this literally smells exactly like paris hilton siren. Maybe wrong season now (winter) for this fragrance. Scent is not bad, generic and yes, a little different for a floral. Love this scent. So much nostalgia. I do get white florals but it's not an overt gardenia scent. There's nothing gorgeous about this - a boring, synthetic-smelling body mist in a seriously overpriced bottle. Generally I don't mind a perfume that sits close to the skin after a few hours but I had to touch my nose to my arm to smell this at all after just an hour. I was not expecting to like this scent as I am not really a fan of Gucci fragrances. Really adorable bottle and a cute scent but theres better out there that will last longer.

Boring and forgettable scent. It's not bad, but not my style. Definitely has anise/fennel/licorice notes in it. A nice addition to the GG line. still though, i immediately gravitated to this one over the original bloom and profumo di fiori because of the sweetness this offered. I find a lot of florals to be way too screechy & loud but this one is light and fresh, slightly sweet & whimsical with just enough notes in there to keep it from falling into the air freshener floral category. It was sitting in the back of my head. Gonna see what other perfume combos I can make with this one. its sweet and lovely, i usually go for gourmand fragrances but this is definitely my favourite floral. I really liked it in store, so I bought one online. Develops into a clone of Eden by Cacharel. The sweet floral would be perfect for spring but unfortunately I can't recommend it due to the inability to project or last. It's bright and beautiful and warm, a truly lovely and delicious scent, and the bottle is gorgeous. Shame. This one, to me, is more like comforting scent with posh elegance like comfort with a pillowy cushiony feeling with a lush beautiful thick soft floral scent in the air. There's something about this that smells like men's cologne. Its really sweet and generic. Not what I expected. Pas is a beast and more flirty, appropriate for summer! The fact that Miley Cyrus is the face for the fragrance makes sense: this is the perfume equivalent of the Hannah Montana transformed into the art school graduate with an expensive shag haircut. cute but a little too sugary on the dry down for me. However, and this might just be the way it reacts to my skin chemistry, the middle weirdly reminds me of Windex or some other household cleaner. They're very similar, not dupes but pretty close. Yep, thats the one. Not floral at all. I dont know why I get a hint a mint in this. This smells like viva la juicy !!! Can we worn anywhere at anytime and appropriate for all seasons.

I recently had purchased a Jo Malone fragrance with poor performance that i decided to keep because i loved the scent so much, but i refuse to let this be a thing. I can't believe people pay the prices they do for this stuff. Overall a nice fragrance for Spring/Summertime but could definitely last a lot longer for the price point imo.

I have something almost identical to this (it's called Juicy Couture Noir btw) except after the beautiful initial opening of Gucci Flora there is a note in this that becomes apparent to my nose that I don't care for maybe it's blackcurrant. Great fragrance for anytime of the night. That perfume reminds me of happier times. Inoffensive but also isnt weak, it actually projects pretty well. It's a guaranteed mothers day purchase. It's a very light and pleasant scent that will be very appropriate for teenagers. This is lovely but not FBW. I know Gucci can pull off white flowers very well as I love their Gucci Blooms, but oh well :(.

I tested this and juicy on either arm at ulta today and juicy is still there but gucci is GONE. Am. Unfortunately, it is immediately a skin scent that almost disappears entirely.
