Flora by Gucci Gracious Tuberose

I really like this a lot! Very different than I expected it to be. When I think Tuberose, I think of a heavy, white floral....much like Bath and Body Works old Velvet Tuberose lotion. This is NOTHING like that. It's very fresh. My first initial impression as I was spritzing this on was very green...I'm guessing that's the ozonic smell. It's a light floral scent as I'm wearing it now. I detect rose (and I'm not usually a fan of rose), but it's not overpowering....just a hint. Other than that, I know that there is something else to this perfume, but all the other notes blend so beautifully that I can't pick them out individually. Very very pretty smelling. Pretty and elegant. Sweet, shy, and playful, while being elegantly graceful...that's what this perfume is. I would wear this almost anywhere. It's nice enough for a night out, while still being low key enough to wear running errands during the day or hanging out on the sofa watching tv. I think that I may need to add this one to my collection as well! (I have the Gorgeous Gardenia also!)

All my favourite perfumes are white florals, I love the powerful, narcotic, almost rotten element to them, but most are very carnal and NSFW! Enter Gracious Tuberose. A lot of people have said it's girly and peachy. I don't really find that - for me the top notes are fresh and greenish rather than fruity and they're quickly gone, leaving behind strong florals. It's a very fresh and elegant perfume upfront but the labdanum dry down is musky and it ends on an animalic note, giving a suggestive glimpse of the sexy tuberose I know and love. Some people have already mentioned that Gracious Tuberose has better sillage on clothes than it does on skin - this is definitely true, the base notes cling to my collars and scarves for days! - but it's decent on skin and will last the day. All in all, a sophisticated work-appropriate white floral that hints at something a little naughtier. This is one of my staple day perfumes.

Well, this is by far the best one out of the three new garden collection scents. It is light and lovely, very springlike, beautiful white flowers with a sweet fruity drop of nectar in them. Just as a spring breeze, it is there one instant and gone the next. I get the white flowers at the opening, and then very soon the sweetness settles in. The top notes remind me of Marc Jacobs by Marc Jacobs, the base reminds me of Eau Mega by Viktor & Rolf (especially because I smell pear, even though it is not listed). Personally, I prefer Marc Jacobs by a long shot - it is less sweet and more distinctive. Between this one and Eau Mega, I would go for the Gracious Tuberose though. It is a nice and lovely spring frag, but also kind of indistinguishable. Not bad for one season, but no wow effect. Doesn't last very long on my skin.

I'm a bit disappointed. I bought my second bottle of this (my first was a delight to me and matched up with a lot of the comments here.) My second bottle smells like a cross between my tuberose and their Gardenia, I enjoyed the watery tuberose and the light white flowers woven though. The bottle I have now isn't the same Gracious Tuberose I could wear to work, church, and any event you don't want to offend others noses. Did they redo this? My bottle is even shaped differently. Same everything but instead of being tall it's short and full. This new stuff isn't what I wanted, but it's pretty so I'll keep it, I want to find the right stuff too. Anybody have some knowleedge?

This is my second review on my second bottle of G. Tuberose. I do believe they changed the formula just a bit from my first bottle and it has grown on me. The tuberose is a bit stronger and the sillage and longevity a bit better. Unlike some of the reviewers, I have enjoyed Gradenia, Mandarin, and Magnolia as well; Mandarin being my favorite. That being said, Tuberose is very pretty. Understated. Charming. Classy. Fresh. Not all the time do I want an "in your face" scent and this is perfect still for the office, church, any place that's a tight fit. 8/10.
