Flora Gorgeous Orchid

Vanilla, ozonic, floral, powdery, sweet, vibrant, radiant, feminine, classy, sophisticated, sensual, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, divine, delicate, delightful, happy, cheerful, joyful, blissful, uplifting, captivating, intriguing, alluring, tempting, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting This is like sunshine in a bottle! What sunshine flavored ice cream would smell like! It’s such a cheerful, delightfully sweet, powdery, and ozonic/airy vanilla, with delicate vanilla orchid, and swirled with some green banana. The banana is definitely green, and adds just a hint of tartness. That’s why I think I like it so much, especially since I’m not usually super into banana notes in fragrances. The ozonic notes help make this an airy vanilla that reads as slightly fresh. It’s very cheerful, uplifting, charming, and whimsical! Overall, it’s a really gorgeous vanilla, and one of my top favorites! This is one of the most beautifully uplifting scents that I own (and I have a collection of a few hundred, so that’s saying something!)! It’s just such a cheerful and happy scent! It really does actually make me smile anytime I smell it! I absolutely adore it, and I can never get enough of it! It’s such an easy reach, and would really make a wonderful signature scent! It’s also one of my most complimented fragrances! I swear everyone really does seem to like this one! My post office lady even instantly loved it so much that she had me go back home right after I left to make her a decant! This feels quite feminine, and can easily suit women of all ages. I think it works best during the spring, summer, and early fall, but can definitely work year round also. I think it’s fitting for any occasion from casual even to fancy, and works for work/school too. I get excellent performance with Flora Gorgeous Orchid. The longevity is excellent, it lasts throughout the whole day without needing reapplication. The projection is strong, it radiates out several feet from me. I also only need a couple sprays for this effect, so I do think it’s a good value.

Very Beautiful, sweet, powdery, ozonic, bright, airy, fresh, sunny, feminine, sensual, flirty, elegant, chic, delicate, uplifting, charming, whimsical, divine, dreamy, happy, cheerful, enchanting, delightful, alluring, inviting, cozy, comforting, unique, vanilla centered So, this is actually rather difficult to describe. It feels bright, happy, cheerful, and charming. It’s a fresh and airy vanilla, but it’s also sweet, and somehow even cozy. It’s delicate and powdery, but also has a kind of creaminess to it. It’s basic, linear, and rather simple, yet somehow unique. It’s like its uniqueness comes from its simplicity. It’s sweet, but not too sweet, and never cloying. If sunshine and happiness could be bottled, this is what it would smell like! I bought this as soon as it was available to pre-order from Gucci, and I was apparently one of the first people to try it. Oh my goodness it was so very beautiful to me! It’s been just over a year now, and I still love it just as much as I did from the very first sniff! This is easily the best of the whole Flora collection! This has actually ended up becoming one of my top favorite vanillas! I absolutely adore it! It’s one of the few fragrances that I keep a backup bottle of. It’s also one of my most complimented fragrances. Everyone just really seems to love this one! This is perfect as a fragrance to wear everyday, and would make a lovely signature scent. It wears beautifully throughout the entire year, and feels suitable for women of all ages. It’s a super easy reach that works for all occasions. The bottle is really beautiful, it gives the perfect vibe for the fragrance it holds. Also, the spray nozzle works wonderfully, it always sprays evenly and the perfect amount. I get excellent performance with Gorgeous Orchid. The longevity is incredible, it lasts throughout the entire day on me, and I can smell it the next morning. The projection is great, it radiates out at least a few feet from me.

Also, everyone I’ve personally asked about it has also said that they don’t get banana. I also agree with the comment that’s below mine a few, about “sunshine flavored ice cream”.

This fragrance is one of my favourites. It is my signature. Perfect for winter or cooler weather but also all seasons of the year as it would make the perfect spring and summer vanilla as I would classify it as more of a floral vanilla, it is equal parts flowers and vanilla to my nose. It is very unique and one of a kind. It smells very comforting, feminine and sexy. It is a very sweet powdered musty smelling vanilla which I think is the blend of vanilla and those ozonic notes and gives me a strong scent of floral potpourri with dried roses ect which is a very unique scent that I’ve never smelled in perfumery and makes it very feminine and etherial. It is quite strong but at the same time, those ozonic notes and orchid also make it very airy and delicate. I also get a similar vanilla vibe in here to Burberry goddess but a little less sweet and more floral. I feel like I am laying in a meaddow of orchid flowers in the spring time with the sunshine beaming down. This fragrance would be perfect for picnics wearing a flowey spring dress, think a tumblr floral meadow mood board. It is also amazing in winter to give you a little spring cheer and that vanilla and powdery mustiness is very cosy on a cold day. I have never tried another fragrance with ozonic notes so I love that it has such an interesting note added into a vanilla blend. I am a beauty therapist and I am obsessed with the smell of the ozone setting on the facial steamer and hot towel cabby. It is used to kill bacteria and it really reminded me of that scent which is very relaxing to me like getting a nice relaxing facial and steam. It also gives it a humid, crisp, clean slightly metallic scent kind of like the atmosphere after a thunderstorm. Think of laying in that sunny floral vanilla orchid meadow as it is now about to storm and you smell the humid and crisp atmosphere around you and the smell of rain on its way. A lot of reviews say it doesn’t last long but on me it lasts all day and even into the next day sprayed only on skin, one of my longest lasting fragrances. -airy -floral -vanilla -heavenly -magical

So many strange perspectives of this below. This is not like Burberry goddess because it has no lavender, the similarity is vanilla. Many perfumes have vanilla that doesn’t mean they all smell the same. This is also no green. Maybe slightly because of the florals but it is sweet. There’s no banana note but the way vanilla is done here and in my opinion it’s the vanilla orchid note i believe is what creates this illusion of a banana ish scent. To me it reminds me of the little yellow banana runts candies. With that said i don’t feel this is juvenile like most candy style perfumes can be. I do find this to be a sort of casual elegant easy type of perfume. It’s definitely not like “ a generic every department store perfume”. That’s a very generalizing statement. The closest I’ve smelled of this is Lataffa Atheeri BUT it is not exact as that one has a bit more of a heaviness in the base/ dry down that this one doesn’t have and i believe it’s the amber wood note. Personally i really love this one and to me it does stand out in my collection of over 150 fragrances both designer and middle eastern and even some niche ones as well.
