Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It’s pure floral, no vanilla or anything else, just sweet but soft flowers. It doesn’t say much to me. The longevity is ridiculous, about an hour, and it clings to the skin without any sillage before vanishing without a trace. Relief that it was a decant; very expensive for such poor quality. The Nenuco cologne lasts longer. I won’t try any more from this line; it was a disappointment.
Dry down is 95% identical to Lattafa The Kingdom for women. It smells elegant, but doesn’t match the notes listed. Given the price in Argentina, I’ll stick with Lattafa: it’s more delicate, lasts longer, and is less sweet.
I thought I’d like it, but I didn’t. Obviously the Flora Gorgeous line is floral, but after reading everything and seeing the hype, I expected something sweeter, more youthful, or less floral. It smells SO floral that the vanilla goes to third place and the ozonic notes are second, and I always notice them. That mix of vanilla orchid with ozonics gives it an animal touch I don’t want in summer, spring, or autumn. I won’t use it again. I understand others may like it, but it didn’t work for me. Now I think it smells like a failed Burberry Goddess.
I find it very basic. It smells good as a day-to-day summer fragrance, but nothing extraordinary. The vanilla is pleasant and the orchid nice, but on my skin it doesn’t shine as it should.
I’m a fan of vanilla, and this is light and slightly salty, but it has come across as too simple and linear. The dry down reminds me of the (slightly less salty) vanilla in Guerlain Allegoria Bosca Vainilla. It’s pleasant.
Although its main note is vanilla, the blend makes it distinct from common vanilla. It makes me feel elegant, perfect for wearing at night in summer.
It’s not cheap vanilla like Victoria Secret; it’s more elegant. Although I’m not a huge fan, I recognise it’s well done. I was gifted it and when I wear it, it projects a lot; people have told me it smells quite strong. The second best Gucci Flora.
Floral with vanilla that projects heavily for an hour before dropping off. In the dry down it’s 90% similar to Burberry Goddess. So, nothing new.
Ideal for spring and summer, super floral and a little sweet. I wear it during the day, though it also works for summer nights; very versatile for those seasons. The vanilla is serious, not artificial or cloying; it smells like vanilla flower. Recommended for all ages. Moderate longevity and it lingers on washed clothes. Long projection if you spray generously, but no fear of being too sweet. For me, who doesn’t tolerate florals well (they give me nausea), I give it a go and it doesn’t bother me.
At first it reminded me a lot of Lancome Vie Est Belle for its gourmand sweetness, but it lacks the power, isn’t nearly as gourmand, or even close; LVEB is a proper beast. It’s clearly a sweet, vanilla-blend perfume, slightly powdery, with a hint of banana and floral. Because of the banana, it seems original. Moderate sillage. Moderate longevity. Gender: clearly feminine. Rating: 7.5.
I was gifted this for Christmas and it’s a real treat. It smells wonderful, though it doesn’t leave a trail; the scent lingers for ages, especially on clothes. Ideal for everyday wear if you like florals with a touch of sweet vanilla.
A spectacular fragrance, floral and vanilla with a subtle sweetness. It smells of an elegant woman; for me, it’s a blind buy. My partner wears it and it suits him perfectly.
It smells of banana and I love it.
Vanilla dominates. It has an ozony touch that makes it more breathable, but nothing revolutionary. The vanilla reminds me of soft custard. I don’t detect the orchid, but rather a seaside hint like mango or coconut, as others say. A fragrance expert says it contains banana. It’s fine, but it’s just another vanilla; by the name, they should highlight the orchid more. If it were cheap and not by Gucci, I’d be more forgiving of these details.
I’m delighted; it’s very versatile. It’s a wearable ozony vanilla, not cloying at all. The best part: after ten hours, it still smells perfect on the skin. When it first arrived, it didn’t last long, but after letting it settle… oh surprise! I love it.
I tried it as a sample and it’s very similar to the discontinued Eau Sucrée Salée from Sephora (Vanille + Fleur de Sel), and also to Guerlain’s Bosca Vanilla Forte. It’s a salty, summery vanilla.
I smelled it yesterday and fell in love. I don’t like the original Gucci Flora… but this one hooked me from the first minute and dries down deliciously. I think it has a mango note that no one has mentioned… it’s delicious. I consider it a fine and sophisticated fragrance. I want it!

I was stunned to realise it smells almost identical to Britney Spears’ Fantasy, perhaps without that fruity, acidic opening, but it’s very similar when it dries down. They share the orchid and sweetness notes; in Britney it’s fruity, here it’s vanilla. For the price and performance, it’s a better option than Fantasy.
Orchid, jasmine, pear and coconut. More sophisticated and sensual than the Jasmine Gorgeous. Moderate intensity, feminine and pleasant. Quite versatile.
Hello! I thought I’d love it given the notes and went to try it… I found it very plain, quite simply. I bought the Magnolia instead, which is glorious and long-lasting.
I tried it recently and absolutely loved it. To me, it’s the richest and most original flanker in the entire line. I adore that touch of banana 🍌 it has. For me, it’s a resounding yes 💛
I adore the Flora line and received this as a blind gift, but to be honest, I was slightly disappointed. I detected absolutely no floral notes; it’s a super sweet, talc-heavy perfume with lots of vanilla and a hint of chocolate… it’s just not my style at all!
I thought it would be, but it wasn’t. I’m not sure if it’s the ozonic notes, but above a pleasant aroma, there’s a halo of something going off that ruins everything, like fishing nets left in the sun.
I’m not usually a fan of this line, but my mum owns all the flankers and I’ve loved this one. It’s a sweet, vanilla-scented perfume like many others, yet light and fresh. I’m not an expert and couldn’t say it smells literally of orchids, but I do detect a very marked floral part that transports me to a summer setting. I get a sense of an undeclared fruity note between mango and coconut in the dry-down, though it could be the floral blend giving that impression. Rich, versatile, sweet, balancing vanilla, fruit, and floral with that slightly talc-like touch the whole Flora line has. I recommend it 😉
Of the four flankers in this line so far, this is my favourite without a doubt!!! I can’t find any resemblance or DNA link to the other three, nor do I smell the florals? It’s the only one that, on my skin, doesn’t smell like a decomposed flower. It’s fresh, vanilla-scented, ideal for spring/summer. A note of banana is perceptible. I don’t know if it’s a bias from the yellow bottle. Anyway, this note isn’t prominent or sharp, but rather in the background and only at the start. In the dry-down, I sense a subtly sugared vanilla. I think it’s very pleasant and nothing groundbreaking as other reviews claimed! It reminds me a bit of Kayali’s Yum Pistachio Gelato
It reminds me a lot of Alien Goddess, but Gucci Flora Orchid is sweeter and less strident, softer and more wearable. I prefer it. Still, it’s a very common scent. But it’s super pleasant. Projects well.
They’ve released a perfume that smells identical to Yves Rocher’s Vanille Orchide. Not just a perfume, but a kit of everything you can imagine. The perfume is very well crafted, smells natural and nothing synthetic, excellent value for money 💛💙
I like it. To me, it smells very similar to Yum Pistachio 33, talc-heavy, sweet, almond-like, but with poor longevity on the skin.
That annoying habit of naming perfumes after notes you can never actually smell. Nothing of orchid, just another tiny sweet perfume that even a body mist smells better than. No projection, no sillage, no aroma. Another disappointment from Gucci’s already long list.
