Flora by Gucci

Flora by Gucci by Gucci is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 2009 in the designer price tier. It opens with mandarin and peony, moves into rose and osmanthus and dries down to pink pepper and sandalwood. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
• Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.

Heart

• Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
• Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.

Dry-down

• Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
