Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Limited Edition 2018

This is definitely sweeter (more sugary rather than floral) than rest of the Gorgeous Gardenia line - and I actually don't find the rest of the line very interesting at all. It's only been 2 years but somehow I feel like the scent in my bottle has changed a little. It's become a little more acidic. Starts off sugary floral and almost has a hint of yuzu to me. Dries down sugary musky. Doesn't last very long but I would normally wear it to an event rather than on a normal day going to places and running errands. Initially I thought this was an elegant scent but now it seems quite young to me. I still like it very much but after growing up a little (ha ha) I don't gravitate to it that much anymore. Very cloying and headache-inducing in hot weather.

The smell of pear is very dominant and very reminiscent of the smell of banana candy, I wonder if that's why the bottle is yellow

I love the bottle but this scent was a bit too much for me; I ended up reselling it on Depop

I have never properly worn the original Gorgeous Gardenia, but as i can recollect, they don't really smell all the same. This limited edition is a very creamy floral fruity scent. There even seams to be smth slightly gourmand-ish over it. I didn't expect much from it, as i am not into all this flora series. But i quite liked it. I think the color of the bottle suits the juice (although i find that yellow quite ugly). The problem here for me is longevity. When testing, i sprayed it 2-3 times on my neck. Already 5 min later i thought it was a little too weak. So added a couple of spritzes, still the same. So sprayed again. I was getting whiffs of it while shopping, but when i got home an hour later or so, it was barely detectable om my clothes, totally gone from skin. If it wasn't for the poor performance, i would recommend giving it a try.

I've sampled this fragrance - really nice, but nothing like a real gardenia. What I can't figure out is WHY, if the perfume is supposed to be gardenia, they put tiger lilies and day flowers on the "limited edition" box?! Lilies smell great, and day flowers smell like nothing. Gardenias are incredibly beautiful to look at. PUT ONE ON THE BOX!!
