Gucci Flora launched its Floral Fantasy chapter and debuted two lovely floral scents: Gorgeous Gardenia and Gorgeous Jasmine. Each scent has its own distinct smell and lives up to the luxurious reputation that Gucci is known for. So which one should you buy?
I purchased them both and compared the two below, so you don’t have to. Here’s what you should know before you purchase a new Gucci Flora scent.
Since I couldn’t decide between the two, I purchased the 1 fl oz. size for both Gucci Flora scents. I conducted a study where I alternated between the two for around four months, until one ran out. Whichever fragrance ran out first could be considered my favorite, or most used scent. So which one did I spray the most?
You smell gorgeous.

Which one is my favorite Gucci Flora scent?
If you like Miss Dior, you will love the sweet yet floral notes in Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia. But if you’re looking for something that lingers longer with a little more earthy tones, the Gorgeous Jasmine, the one in the green bottle, would be the best one to purchase.
Gorgeous Jasmine is my favorite Gucci Flora scent because it smells feminine and clean, yet less sugary than Gorgeous Gardenia.
Below are some of the main notes that can be found in this fragrance:
- Bergamont
- Black Pepper
- Damask Rose
- Jasmine Sambac
- Magnolia
- Patchouli
- Sandalwood
While Gorgeous Jasmine is a personal favorite of mine, Gorgeous Gardenia is the more visible of the two. It has a powdery sweet fragrance.
Below are some of the primary notes that can be found in this fragrance:
- Brown Sugar
- Gardenia
- Jasmine
- Italian Mandarin
- Patchouli
- Pear Blossom
- Red Cherries
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine is one of the best scents I have discovered so far. If you think a Gucci Flora Eau de Parfum would make a great addition to your beauty routine, consider adding one of these fragrances to your collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Jasmine and Gardenia smell similar?
While Gorgeous Jasmine and Gorgeous Gardenia are both perfumes from the Gucci Flora collection, they do not smell alike. Gorgeous Jasmine is Grandiflorum Jasmine-scented, and has an overall clean and wood spicy scent with notes of Bergamot, Italian Mandarin, Patchouli, and Sandalwood.
Unlike Gorgeous Jasmine, Gorgeous Gardenia is led by strong Gardenia Grandiflorum notes, paired with a smooth pear blossom aroma.
How can I make Gucci Flora last longer?
Naturally, Gucci Floral fragrances are designed to have a long-lasting scent. To make it last longer, I usually start by applying a few sprays of the Nourishing Parfum Primer by House of Bō to clean skin. After, I apply my fragrance in the areas the primer has been sprayed and simply enjoy the lingering scent throughout the day.
Is the new Gucci Flora the same as the old one?
Flora by Gucci Eau de Toilette was first introduced to us in 2009. It has since been discontinued.
Flora by Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia was launched in 2012. It has since been reimagined by Honorine Blanc and Alberto Morillas in late 2021. One of the major differences between the old scent and the new one is it incorporates mandarin notes to better complement its signature pear notes.
