Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia vs Jasmine vs Magnolia

The instant I first smelt Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia I was taken back to my teens and the now classic scent of Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy.

Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia is more sweet than it is floral, with the Brown Sugar, Pear Blossom, and Mandarin really coming through.

It doesn’t really smell like the original (and now discontinued Gucci Flora) where Osmanthus was the main note.

Released in 2022, I find Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine has a lot of similarities with Gorgeous Gardenia. The main difference is that it isn’t as sweet. Despite having Jasmine in the name I find that Magnolia is the prominent note which is lighter and sweeter than Jasmine. Typically, Jasmine fragrances are quite heavy and long lasting, but Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine definitely isn’t heavy.

I think if you find Gorgeous Gardenia too sweet than you’ll prefer Gorgeous Jasmine because it’s more floral than it is sweet.

2023 sees the release of a new Gucci Flora Gorgeous Magnolia. This version comes in a pretty purple bottle which reflects the feminine nature of the scent. Magnolia is quite a delicate fragrance note and in this fragrance it is just as dominant as a dewberry top note which makes this perfume fruitier than it’s predecessors. Like the others, this isn’t a heavy fragrance; I advise it for day wear as it lasts a few hours and probably isn’t powerful enough for the evening.
