Review
As an Alberto Morillas creation, Gorgeous Jasmine Eau de Parfum stands out in the Flora collection for its bright citrus nature and feminine jasmine heart.

3. Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum
Review
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia is a sweet, seductive floral journey from start to finish that reminds me of Viva La Juicy.
Opens with a lively mix of blossoms and brown sugar-coated mandarin and leads you into a fragrant floral garden of gardenia. Settles into a comforting embrace of patchouli.

Blossom Accord, Italian Mandarin, Red Berries
Mid Notes:
White Gardenia, Jasmine Absolute, Frangipani Flower

Gorgeous Gardenia is my go-to for spring, summer and fall and will stay with you for 4 hours. The projection is just right—not too soft, not too strong.

| Pros | Sweet, creamy gardenia blend suitable for most seasons |
| Cons | Sweetness may be too much for some noses |
