Flora by Gucci Eau Fraiche

This is my signature scent. I have been wearing this perfume literally since it came out! That's over 12 years living with it and it has never failed me to mesmerize me with every spritz. If you do not like green, chypre scents, then this is not for you. This is my signature scent year round, but it SHINES in the summer on a VERY hot day. On my skin, this pulls very green aquatic with slight floral notes, sandalwood and very light pink pepper pop out at the end. I can definitely pinpoint the peony, lemon, bergamot and aquatic notes upon first spray. Once it settles and dries on your skin, GREEN comes out, I think due to the osmanthus being a bit creamy and aromatic, however it remains calm and comes out as more of a sage green as opposed to kelly green. The sandalwood hides until the very end but is what keeps your nose coming back for more. The pink pepper keeps it only very slightly spicy and is very well blended, the patchouli in this is very well blended as well as you can barely pick it up. Sandalwood keeps the scent from being too cloying and the patchouli keeps it earthy. If I were to describe this smell, it would be like relaxing in the horizon on a hot summer's day, lying in a healthy bed of grass with your eyes closed, and the wind blowing against your skin. As you inhale, you catch whiffs of the salty ocean breeze, the vapors from the water hitting the shore tickling your nose. There is a bit of petrichor as it may rain in a couple of days, so the grass, leaves and trees are dewy and moist. You sniff the air and it smells wet and dry at the same time. You smell warmth and coolness all at the same time. The cool aroma of the ocean and the earthy scents of the forest intertwine as you sip an ice cold limoncello(garnished with a fresh lemon peel) under the sun and the shade all at the same time. You would like every summer day to be like this. Both uplifting and grounding all at the same time. I imagine this to smell like an ideal Italian summer day. This is what I enjoy smelling like every single day. I will continue to buy and wear this scent forever!

I just bought this from an ebay seller. When I first received it and sprayed it on, it had a funny smell. I thought I had gotten a loser. Then, I started cooking. As I cooked, I kept smelling some heavenly scent as I worked. I sniffed my wrist where I had sprayed the Gucci Flora Eau Fraiche -- that was it! To me, this perfume smells absolutely lovely (after dry down). Very soft and feminine. Wow! I got a very good buy on ebay -- I will have to watch for more of this. It reminds me slightly of Versace Brigth Crystal and Bvlgari Mon Jasmin Noir L'eau Exquise (all florals, but each slightly different). Bright Crystal is the strongest and sweetest of the three. This one, Flora Eau Fraiche, is the lightest. I love it's soft elegance!

Talking about perfume in my country is not something to be happy looking the the price tag, so I bought EDT Eau Fraiche edition because i don't have enough money for EDP, so sad. Now is 2017 (was bought it in 2012), I still got my juice about 30% left. Just want to say about this perfume, so I'm very happy to wearing it specially for night and work, so fresh bright sweet flowery, bit harsh in the opening because of the citrus note, then flowers note taking part to make it so flowery with little touch of woodiness in the end. Sillage is moderate but longevity is amazing on me, 6 spritz is lasting to the evening, so unexpected.

Tried this one at Sephora for the first time months ago. At first I wasn't impressed, but my husband loved it. Now craving for a light aquatic scent I ended up buying this (and because my husband love it and its he only perfume I have that doesn't flare up his allergies). For an eau fraiche I think it lasts a good time (6 hrs on my skin) and the sillage its pretty good with just a couple squirts. If you like sweet light and aquatic florals this is for you. I think its a very young and happy kind of scent, perfect for the warmer months.

Bought this perfume several years ago. I fell in love with it as soon as I sniffed it. It’s a watery fresh floral fragrance that is great for summer. I recently gave it away to my mom though. Lasting power was zilch on me. I felt like I sprayed and thirty min later it was completely gone. I have so many other perfumes I wanna use up and this one was just collecting dust. It was pretty much full. My mom is very happy with it. I figured it would be perfect for her since she works in an office and the frag is definitely office safe.

I bought the eau fraiche because at that time I found Flora too sweet and heavy (but later on I have become more fond of the original as well). The eau fraiche has been in my collection for a while (second bottle now) and it's one of my favorites for summer. My boyfriend enjoys it as well, which is a bonus. The only downside is that it doesn't last longer than a couple of hours on skin so I have to re-apply after 3 hours, but overall it's a very nice, delicate and fresh floral scent.

This perfume is a lighter and brighter version of flora by Gucci EDP witch i honestly don't like cuz its too much and sickly heavy but this is so fresh , aquatic , suitable for hot weather or spring time . this is a shampoo perfume or a shampoo scent cuz its like clean , good smell , expensive shampoo . I love it and enjoy it so much , plus its long lasting on my skin.

This is amazing and so unique! This to me is an expensive tropical weather daytime scent that can do well on any occasion. It can work in colder weather too as a clean crisp answer to the chilly winds but, the warm weather is where it really performs. For me the sillage is just about okay but, the longevity is on point. A definite love for me, this.

Surprisingly this is my first Gucci fragrance. It's lovely, it's love at first whiff. I thought it's aquatic, like Acqua de Gioia, but this one is a more beautiful, more sophisticated, less raw, more natural. It has been my summer scent, and I'm enjoying this. Everyday I look forward to having to smell this scent, it's invigorating in some way.

I really don't like the original flora but i thought I'd give this a try. At first it was pure love, absolutely beautiful, fresh, yummy and I thought I found the one. But after a few minutes it became strange not in a good way, my friend thought it smelled like sweat. I am kind of disappointed ... I really loved the initial notes

Very fresh, fruity fragrance which cheers me up. I'm absolutely in love with this one. It is a perfectly balanced coctail of delicious fruits, spring fields and flowery vivid spirit. On me it doesn't change much while wearing it and the scent stays pretty strong for long time. It makes me feel free, confident and beautiful.

I love this fragrance! Lovely, classy floral to be worn in any circumstances, with enough freshness to feel youthful, optimistic and relaxed. Made me think of a stroll in a summer garden, caressed by a fresh breeze and when I had it I preferred to keep it for casual time off. As the ad shows, it is a scent of freedom.

This is a great scent for parties or being a guest at a wedding. It is very green, light and friendly. It is not dramatically different from the others in the Gucci Flora line, except for being the brightest. Cheerful and pleasant. I like it!

My no 1 for hot summer. I love all the refreshment this fragrance provides. Like walking into a cold creek during an extremely hot day. You feel relaxed immediately. And that feeling stays long.

Its very floral & lovely. I really love the scent & the design of the bottle itself is simple but edgy. Would highly recommend it to all woman :)

I never regret buying this. Very refreshing and elegant. My co-worker complimented that I smelled so good and even asked the perfume I'm wearing.

I enjoy this perfume, and wear it more than my others. It smells clean and fresh on me, sweet too. I often get compliments when I wear it.

love it perfect for summer! lighter than Gucci Florale i won both so i will just use the other in the fall... love love love

I just love it. It is more autumn/winter scent, bit heavy for the summer. Makes you feel beautiful and sophisticated :)

Absolutely love it! But what I shame, than last on my skin, not longer than 2 houres!
