Flora by Gucci Eau de Toilette

Honestly, I never thought I would love this one...but hahahahahah I really love this one!!! I've always been the sweet and fruity type of person that always just wanted to smell sweet and edible...but this one???? I smelled it on my friend and I just have to stop her and ask what was she wearing!!!! I asked her 2 times that day and complimented on how she smelled over and over again... then I knew I need to own that perfume!!!! I was pretty shocked to know that she's wearing Gucci Flora..because I never thought I was the floral kind of girl... but this is a really lovely sweet floral scent! This is a really beautiful scent. I had the longest debate with myself whether if to get the EDT or EDP because I do want a long lasting one... but then I thought if I enjoyed how my friend smelled like so much and prolly EDP will be different as some people commented that the smell is sharper..then I think I just will not go wrong with the EDT. Anyways I don't regret it a bit since I love how it smells!!!! Seriously, your nose knows better than what you think you know about yourself!!

Out of all the Gucci Floras I've tried so far this is my favorite to date. Opens with a creamy citrus, in particular Mandarin which I love, followed by peony, a light rose, and a fruity osmanthus. I love the apricot vanilla scent of Osmanthus. It is such a mellow floral that is so pretty giving this scent a luscious sweetness. There is a softness to this scent that is really nice despite the pink pepper which is barely detectable. Very smooth and gentle, nothing overwhelming or sharp. Longevity is a little disappointing lasting only a few hours but silage is nice, if a little on the soft side. This will be a nice go-to during the warmer days of the spring and summer. I'm curious to try the eau de parfum of this scent and wonder how much of a difference there is in scent, silage, and longevity. I'm willing to bet it is just as pretty as this is.

How does this smell like fresh floral, creamy, slight spicy rain? It does and I love it. Especially for rainy, cold days it fits the aroma so well while having a sophisticated feel to it. The opening is a bit sharp, I was afraid I wouldn't love it, but after an hour or two it's a creamy fresh floral I adore. This with the osmanthus that give it a citrusy peach vibe that's fizzy, uplifting and highly youthful. The sillage/scent trail is gorgeous and lasts about 4-5 hours on my skin while being a skin scent for 7. Usually I have a dislike for patchouli but I really like it in this as it is complemented by the pink pepper and sandalwood that makes it everso earthy, creamy with the slightest fresh pink pepper spice. Smells natural but not dirty. Might become my signature

This perfume is really gorgeous. I bought it recently and I literally own over 70 bottles of perfume but this is quickly climbing to the top of my list. The problem with most rose fragrances is they end up smelling very old lady-ish when I wear them but that's not the case with this perfume. It is just the right amount of floral and sweet so that it doesn't become to sweet or to mature it's the perfect balance. They say that this is aimed at the younger market but I think anyone in there 20s or older can wear this perfume and it's so lovely that I think it could be worn as a day or evening scent. All in all if you are looking for a floral with just the right amount without smelling like a bouquet this ones for you.

Love this fragrance! Reminds me of my teenage party years as I wore it religiously , it lasts a very long time, on skin and clothes. I’ll have a shower and can still smell this on me. Its projection for a toilette is amazing! It’s a really nice fruity floral, defiantly smell the orange in this I can’t smell rose in particular , maybe more peony florals but it’s just so lovely. I would get this for a teen, but as an adult I would still wear this aswell if I want something that people are going to smell. 100% a compliment getter too. I thought all these years I had a parfum but only now I’ve looked at the bottle it’s a toilette and I’m pleasantly surprised !

This is one of my favorite perfumes. It's definitely unique in my opinion and I have yet to smell something similar to it. The top notes I smell is peony and citrus. Very fresh, girly and clean. However, once it starts to dry down its creamy, a little powdery and definitely a lot of osmanthus. I personally don't get any of the bottom notes, however it does last long on the skin and it probably has a lot to do with the pink pepper. I would recommend this fragrance because it's definitely hard to dislike, therefore I think its a safe blind buy if you like soapy yet sweet, clean scents.

Is it out of production or just cannot find it in my city? Gorgeous floral scent, light, fresh, it is the BASE for all the other Gucci floral scents you see on the market today. The DNA is very traceable and distinct, but I still do not like any of the new variations as much as the classic Gucci Flora. It is feminine, for an elegant lady, yet nothing over the top. Was my signature in my twenties. Definitely a compliment getter. Would like to purchase it again, but some people who managed to put their hands on this scent recently say it has changed. Not sure what to make of it.

WOW! This turned out to be beautiful scent i shouldnt have judged it,i thought it would have been a strong,floral,mature scent and head-achy. After testing it i realized it doesnt give me a head ache and it smells very classy and can be day or night,i imagine a woman with classic,polished style and an independent,strong yet loving and kind personality. I couldnt stop smelling it when it was tested, i dont own it but maybe if i grow to become such a woman one day.. i definitely would :)

This is fresh and bright. Like a sparkling juice. It's crisp, youthful and the notes dance on skin like Springtime. I cannot tell where the floral ends and the crisp citrus begins. It never fails or falls flat. It never bothers me from start to end. It continues to shine on for hours. Flora possesses the elegance of freedom. The freedom to be romantic head to toe without any shame. The bottle is beautiful, simple elegance, warm without being tacky.

This is a very clean and light scent. It smells amazing but it is too weak for my tastes...if this had some more staying power and was a couple of notch's louder I would buy some in a heartbeat. I am actually surprised that this one is so weak being that it is Gucci...they usually have better lasting power with their fragrances. And for the money they charge for this I would have expected better. This could almost be like a body spray or splash.

My name is Flora so I had to get myself a bottle of this! It’s a lovely, graceful sunshine fragrance, far more interesting than the recent Gucci Flora line. Wear this in the spring and summer and it’s like you’re walking through an English country garden, full of lush flowers, with a hint of nearby grasses and woodland blowing on the breeze. ps. sometimes on my skin this smells like mint choc chip icecream - which can only be a good thing...

I'm not a fan of patchouli at all, although there are fragrances that I love that contain patchouli when blended correctly such as Love Story by Chloe. This is a beautiful floral fragrance and it's blended beautifully. I'd say that this is probably the most detectable patchouli that I can stand and still love the fragrance. In this instant it works so well,just as it does with Gorgeous Gardenia and Gorgeous Jasmine. I love them all.

I like, I use. it's my everyday floral for now. Notice I am not excited? That's because it's just nice. Like your favorite pair of jeans, not like your favorite sexy dress. The citrus combined with peony and rose work well, but there is no punch, no murkiness, no scandal. the drydown is simple, it just fades, just like those jeans. Still, I use it on a regular basis and am glad it's there, because if it weren't... what would I wear?

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this perfume! It's so fresh and perfect and not overpowering. I feel beautiful wearing this. Great sillage, i just need to spray 2~3 times and it's enough for people to notice the fragrance but not intrusively annoying. I put it in the morning, and can still smell it by the time the office hour is over. I wear a lot of perfume, but this is the only perfume that I won't mind to buy over and over again.

Flora smells of yesteryear. Innocent pepper disguised as a beautiful well-balanced peony and osmanthus, elixir of sophisticated vibe. Occasionally I wear drops of some vials I have for a long time, so it's like Flora has always belonged to me. Now the packaging has been renewed and is spectacular to the eye, a tasteful packaging that perfectly reflects the precious content. To me Flora's got the perfect score.

hm i tried the EDT sample and fell in love with it so much, lots of people complimented it, too so i guess the EDP could be even better - at least in sillage, i got the EDP version and it turns to be so powdery floral which i dislike. EDT is much softer and light, lovely feminine and heavenly floral. well at least i could save some bucks purchasing the EDT. what a shame. two versions are definitely different.

To me, this smells like a rainy day. You're inside with the windows cracked open to let in the fresh air, the smell of a calm, peaceful, yet slightly humid scene. This is truly comforting. This is a clean floral without being sharp or screechy or soapy. It's bright, beautiful, and cozy. I've never smelled anything like it before. If I could bottle happiness, this is what I'd bottle. This is a life-er for me.

flora by gucci gives such a sweet smell thru out my day that i kept taking deep breaths just to take in its lovely smell. it doesn't give me those nose-sting smell even at first spray. for me, it last quite a long time coz after i retire from a day's work, it still smell fresh on my skin, even if i just sprayed a little here and there on my clothes. very nice indeed!!

This is my top 3 fragrances. Floral sweet sophisticated fresh tender fresh clean, not basic or monotone at all. It's perfect for humid and hot weather. It's my signature scent in summer of all time !!! Please keep it continued. I watched in a video from Soki London that it will be discontinued this year, which is soooo sad. Please please please keep it continued !!

So glad I bought this, cause I thought I wouldn't like it. Smells so pretty and elegant. The patchouli: non-existent. The citrus: barely detectable. I wish the florals were a bit more lush but understandably, this is an innocent perfume. But not really. the sandalwood gives this a slight headiness. I just want to take a shower and drown myself in a cloud of this.

My husband bought me this at duty free returning from Spain last year. To me, its beautiful. Anything with orange blossom or white flowers uplifts my spirits and i find this scent refreshing and energising without being too sweet or cloying. A real winner for me. I love it and hope my big bottle will last forever. ❤️

Light, fresh, very citrus oriented. Perfect for spring/summer. Also the EDT lasts for so long, people have complimented me on this hours after I first sprayed. The citrus and florals have a musky sweet undertone but its by no means an overall sweet perfume. Very sophisticated and carefree.

This is my go to perfume for now. I layer it with VS body mist - Amber romance and stays for a long time. I encountered this perfume on coincidence; I swapped it with another perfume lover and before doing so I reviewed the notes, which were exactly what I was looking for in a perfume. :)

I've had this scent for more than two years now, and it still serves as my favourite! The parfum, eau fraiche and garden collection don't compare to this original scent. This scent is so distinct and special, I intend to keep this as my signature scent!

A lovely fresh floral scent, with citrus sweetness. A very pretty fragrance. Who cares if it is not "unique" enough, why can't a perfume simply be beautiful? This is a beautiful feminine fragrance, and I am enjoying it because of it's simplicity.

The 3.66 rating in itself is a hate crime. This perfume is sooo beautiful and not at all generic, I don't know if the green juice smells different? Maybe they changed the formula? Anyway, the original 2009 version is severely underrated.

I adore this fragrance! Got it as a gift from my mother without ever having even tried it before, and it was love at first sniff. I don't find it boring at all, I think it's quite elegant yet very wearable. One of my favourites!

I absolutely love this fragrance. It smells so good. I love they floral that's in where. I'm not great with notes. But this smells amazing from first sprints to the dry down. This quickly became one of my favorites.

Soft, comforting, feminine and pleasant. This is appropriate for the office and is great for all seasons. There is nothing sharp about this fragrance, it's very mellow and has descent longevity and sillage.

Beautiful, sweet , fresh and I really love it!! Not too heavy, I can always count on this scent smelling nice on hot days in FL. Its one of my most used perfumes and its my mans favorite on me

Smells very feminine, but doesn't last long. I wish it lasted longer. I love the way the citrus and floral scents compliment each other. They blend perfectly in this fragrance.

Another fragrance I can’t believe they discontinued. Years later I still have a couple of bottles but will miss this fragrance when I run out.

Gucci is my favorite brand perfumes. I love Flora because it make me happy and fresh. But it not long lasting because it EDT not EDP.

This smells exactly like what I picture Elizabeth Taylor wearing in the original Father of the Bride with Spencer Tracy. Wonderful.

The sandalwood in this is really good. I find it makes for a more interesting fragrance than had Gucci used a musky base.

I wanted to love this..but it didn't stay on my skin..and turned as a sour smell..but the ones who love it, enjoy it!

Got my first bottle today & love it! All of this because of this site. Thanks for introducing this to me.

Oh, this is the gem I wore on my wedding day.. I truly love it...

Uplifting, refreshing and beautiful!!

Category: Soft spicy, pink floral, powdery Notes: Sprays on a vibrant citrus and gently leathery osmanthus, soon joined by peony, an almost liquoricey pink pepper and a smooth, ever so slightly powdery sandalwood. With time the rose and rosy nuances of the pink pepper become more apparent. The overall scent impression is a soft, slightly spicy and rosy, pink floral. Vibe: Red licorice. Velvet. Cabriolet. Rose flavored marshmallows. Leather couch. Plaid pencil skirt and blazer. Black rimmed glasses. Massage therapy. Morning green tea. Laptop. Inner city parking. Portfolio. Saleswoman. Friday. Sillage: 6.5/10. Pretty impressive sillage for an EdT I must admit. Doesn't project a ton, but I wouldn't classify it as intimate either. It does lose strength with time and within a few hours it is however pretty much a skin scent. Longevity: 4/10. Longevity is less impressive, lasted me about 3-4 hours before it was so soft it was barely detectable. Wear: Day or evening, personally I'm leaning evening. I think this is a little too heavy for summer wear so I'd say probably best suited as a spring or fall perfume. A traditionally feminine scent most suited for age ranges 30-55. Office wear approved as it is very toned down and inoffensive. Overall rating: 6/10. So completely not my kind of frag, but I can't deny it is a very pleasant wear. I'd say this is the smoother, softer sister of Burberry’s The Beat - they share the same sort of powdery, soft and yet mature scent profile. Where The Beat is a bit overwhelming and problematic for people prone to get scent induced headaches, nausea or asthma, Flora by Gucci EdT is a lot more well-blended, subdued with a quiet poise. I think for those expecting a traditional peony fragrance, there's a risk of disappointment as I don't find this to represent what I know the fragrance note to be. What it does however carry with it from the peony is the maturity, making it feel a lot more adult and refined. To me the citrus, pink pepper and rose are what carry this scent, although I wouldn’t call it a rose scent either. Probably best described as a mildly powdery, soft and spicy pink floral. Who would wear it?: Casey Novak in Law & Order: SVU.

I was shaking my head in disbelief when I got a sample of this and tried it without a hope in the world to like it - I just don't go for pure florals, they don't shine on me , they are too discreet and I usually stand out of the crowd here in Germany (a tatar-mongolian blood is running deep there somewhere), plus my skin practically absorbs most floral perfumes. The sample was eau de toilette, and i sort of gave up on it before even trying. I thought - alright, i'll have my 5-minute fun smelling the wrist and then i'll say good-bye to yet another vanishing-all-to-quickly floral. Well, well.. 4 hours later I am trying to figure out where this amazing smell is coming from, then i brush my nose past my wrist accidentally, and it strikes me: FLORA! First of all, I don't believe that eau de toilette in a sample is the same as eau de toilette in regular sizes. Samples are marketing devices, so i bet my bottom dollar that the strength here is amplified. Ignoring this, I must say: this is one of the most well-blended florientals out there. It reminds me a little of ROSE ABSOLUE by Yves Rocher because it has this creamy leather base that gives the scent depth and staying power. Also, I find it quite amazing, that a scent, targeted at a spring/summer season works so well in winter! - this is so seldom found in fresh florals, if at all actually. The only thing I don't like is the name: flora hardly suggests character or gives your imagination a kick. Currently on a hunt for an eau de perfume, hoping it will also be issued in pure perfume at some point. A keeper.

While far from "a sensual, young girl", I happen to enjoy this EDT quite a bit! I am a fan of osmanthus in perfumes. I like the floral, fruity sweetness it brings to most compositions and it really holds this fragrance together so that it reads a bit more fruity floral than strictly floral. Fruity florals do tend to be marketed more to the youthful audience, and as a grown woman, I'm not particularly interested in smelling like a strawberry, but I do like a peach/apricot note, which osmanthus imparts. It works well with the peony, creating a light, somewhat sweet fragrance perfect for spring days and after a shower. I also own Generous Violet from the same collection, which I am also fond of, but I enjoy this one a little bit more. Has decent longevity and sillage for an EDT. I will reach for this quite a bit throughout this spring! EDIT - Just sprayed a bit of this on the back of my hand and still really like it. I read through many of the reviews and I sense a paradox - so many people refer to this as "generic", and yet if you read the reviews, both positive and negative, I began to see that what makes this work or not work for people really varies, so maybe this isn't quite the simple little perfume most seem to assume it is. I found it interesting that so many experienced a metallic note. If I smelled that, I would scrub it off immediately, as that quality would send me running for the hills! So either it is skin chemistry, or Gucci has a serious quality control issue going on. I'm glad it works for me!

I had preconceived ideas of Flora being an over the top sickening floral scent. However, when I was given a bottle as a gift I was quite pleasently suprized, I get more of a citrus-floral vibe from this. Initally, I get a burst of mandarin orange with the peony, with a small amount of the citrus aswell. The other floral notes in this perfume do not come into play until at least 30 minutes on the skin. Then, after that, I can smell rose and a slight hint of patchouli. The mandarin orange does a good job at balancing the floral notes, and stopping Flora from becoming an over the top floral scent. I applied this about 9 hours ago and can still smell it on my wrist, so no problems with the longevity. Overall, I like it. Will I re-purchase? Probably not, but I'll enjoy using this bottle up nevertheless. A worthy buy if you're looking for a well balanced floral scent with good longevity. 7/10.

I like this one. Don't love it, but like it. To me this smells really generic. I feel like I keep seeing frags that are recent releases that smell generic. I don't know if I would spend my money on it, but I wouldn't turn it down as a gift, either :-) This one is pretty linear on me. It smells the same when I first spray it vs many hours later albeit the flowers aren't there so strongly anymore. The citrus and flowers mesh nicely to create a fresh, uplifting feel. There is no sweetness to my nose. The patchouli is what makes me like this a lot. I love patchouli and something about my chemistry really plays it up. The patch here is nice, toned down and gives a woody feel to the florals. Flora reminds me of a bright, sunny early spring day with a nip in the air. This is an all around nice, very inoffensive fragrence. Good for daytime and would be perfect for the office.

Someone gave me a sample of Flora EDT with a swap, otherwise I wouldn't have tried it because it sounds a little boring to me. Well, what can I say, it's sure not the most original scent on earth but I actually enjoy it. Osmanthus is clearly the most important note here with it's apricot-like floral scent. I also smell the light and airy peony and something creamy and musky. There is no musk listed, so maybe this supposed to be the sandalwood, even though it doesn't smell like sandalwood to me. What I like about Flora EDT is that it's rather warm for such a light, clean scent. The citrus notes don't overpower everything else. This smells a little synthetic and like it could be some everyday body care product, but think of a nice hair mask rather than a shampoo. Nothing I would buy for myself, but not bad. I have never tried the EDP so I can't compare.

This is a lovely fresh floral. I find it quite sweet and pretty linear on the whole, at drydown it’s just a softer version of the first spray. I thought I’d gone off this but I was determined to finish the last 1ml in the bottle so have been wearing it over the weekend and can remember now why it used to be a favourite, when I had simple tastes in the days before I became a fragrance junkie with no loyalty to anything! It’s pretty inoffensive, office safe and mostly suited to spring or summer. There’s so many now I only feel able to wear in winter so this definitely wouldn’t make the mark in colder weather for me. The sillage is average, longevity could be better I think, about 4-5 hours on me. I probably won’t repurchase, there are stacks I like more than this now, but I’d be happy to receive it as a gift and it would a safe blind buy.

I somehow ended up with two big bottles of this. I guess one is going to have to be a gift. I have to say, this is not my favorite. Every Gucci perfume that I have ever tried has been too mild and my nose can barely smell any of them, this one included. It is just SO faint to me. I know a lot of people just love this, and I wish I could really smell it. This is not necessarily bad but not great either. Can take it or leave it. For reference my signature scent is Chloe EDT and EDP. I also love Kenzo World Intense. I guess I am used to VERY strong perfume. This does not cut it for me. I guess I can just wear it around the house...kind of disappointed. I keep buying Gucci hoping I will finally buy one that is strong enough to project but so far not so good.

I tested both the Parfum and the toilette form of this perfume yesterday on my smell trip and as I am consulting my notes I made yesterday this morning I liked the parfum much better. It was deeper and richer, the toilette is a bit watered down. Gucci Flora is a pretty orange and citrus scent w/ a nice osmanthus heart. The parfum had a nice soft spicy scent as well, the pink pepper wasnt' overdone. I got zero peony w/ this yesterday, which is fine w/ me since I'm not a huge peony fan. If you like osmanthus and would like to have an osmanthus scent that is a bit more casual than a Burberry Society this is a good one to get before they are all gone since it is being discontinued.

Obviously, this is a very floral fragrance. I don’t own too many florals, but the ones I do have, I think very highly of them. It is very floral on the skin, but I like that little touch of musk (that’s what I tend to smell anyway, anyone agree?) that links with the floral notes, making it even nicer in my opinion, more natural and airy. More a day scent than a night scent for me. I’d love to wear this while having a stroll in the park, maybe having a coffee with a friend outside in the park or the beach... (I tend to imagine the perfect thing to be doing whilst wearing a particular perfume, and that’s what came to mind when I was thinking and smelling Gucci flora)

Floral and citrus. i do get some pepper which adds a little kick. while sweet it isnt the marshmellow type of sweet. for a floral i kind of like this one. a day time fragrance that could be worn to work. a spring or summer fragrance. every now and then i get a vanilla quality which is really nice. it is a bit tart smelling, which i think when paired with the pepper makes it a little more sophisicated. i tend to like more unisex fragrances, but i think i could wear this in spring. it kimda makes me think of eating a pastry outside in spring with a glass of oj for breakfast. i asked my husband and he said peppery vanilla. i really like this.
