Flora Gorgeous Jasmine
by Gucci
Flora Gorgeous Jasmine is a bright, clean white floral that feels like a refreshing spring breeze. It opens with sparkling bergamot and Italian mandarin, layered with a soft, bubblegummy jasmine that feels approachable and non-indolic—ideal for those who enjoy straightforward, feminine florals without heaviness or complexity. The magnolia adds a whisper of creamy softness, while the subtle black pepper gives a gentle lift to the opening without becoming spicy or aggressive. As it settles, the fragrance develops into a refined, soapy-clean jasmine with a subtle woody base of Australian sandalwood and patchouli, grounding the bright floral without overpowering it. While some perceive it as laundry-detergent-like or overly synthetic, many find it genuinely pleasant and crowd-pleasing—especially those drawn to classic, elegant floral scents like Gucci Bloom or Calvin Klein Beauty. The longevity is moderate, lasting around 5 to 8 hours on skin and more on clothing, and most agree the sillage is soft and intimate, suitable for daytime wear in spring and summer. Overall, it’s not revolutionary, but it’s meticulously crafted to feel timeless, safe, and refreshing.
