The prestigious Italian fashion house of Gucci launches a new collection of fragrances under the creative director of Frida Giannini. It comes out in May 2012 named Flora by Gucci Garden Collection. The collection includes five most important blossoms outlined on the legendary Gucci scarf designed by Vittorio Accornero for Princess Grace of Monaco. These five new editions are: Glorious Mandarin, Gracious Tuberose, Gorgeous Gardenia, Glamorous Magnolia and Generous Violet.

“It’s a sort of bouquet of scents,” said Giannini for wwd, “So Gorgeous Gardenia because I wanted to underline the gorgeously feminine side of this fragrance. Glorious Mandarin because there’s a sort of euphoria in mandarin, since it’s such a sparkly fruit.”

In the process of making these fragrances, it was very important to distinguish them from one another. The idea is that each fragrance should reflect a facet of the same woman. The fragrances come in elongated hexagonal shaped bottles with transparent rather than gold stoppers.

The face of the advertising campaign is Abbey Lee Kershaw, shot by Solve Sundsbø. The fragrances are available as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette, except mandarin and violet one that will be available exclusively at Gucci flag stores as 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

The beginning is very pleasant. Not too sweet, a little fresh, a little sour. Just like mandarins are. It actually reminds me on Nimm 2 bonbons.

But the drydown is a little to harsh IMO. On my skin it gets a very sour drydown. Now it smells too soapy sour and the creamy, sweet, fruity notes disappear. I do smell pineapple and coconut (Pina Colada) in a very pure, natural way, but just hiding somewhere behind the sour, soapy, powdery mess. Too bad, because the opening was something new, almost special.

On me this is very light. It starts with the scent of mandarins, sweet, fresh and happy all in one. After that it becomes a very light, inoffensive soft base, somewhat vanilla-like. It seems to completely skip the middle notes, I get no coconuts or jasmin in it. I like it, but have to spray a lot.

This is not mandarin as you might expect. None of the collection smell like their namesakes, they are more an "impression" if that makes sense. This was a blind buy for me, and while it is pleasant, it is not mandarin/amber, but rather citrus/peony. So I get fresh/spicy, almost unisex. It has the same type of bite to it that Forbidden Euphoria has, although they don't smell alike. Again, it is this...impression. I will wear it here and there over summers/autumns to come as the bottle is large. It just struck me, it smells a bit like a more expensively composed Forever Sunshine from Bath and Body Works. I may try the body cream with it just to see. This is not orange blossom to me, nor "beachy" like Beach, Bronze Goddess (in various incarnations), Jennifer Anniston, but it does have about 4-5 hours in it and I am going to keep an open mind and see if warmer temperatures bring out some kind of pina colada.

I've actually had this quite a while, but have yet to properly wear it because I'm saving it for the summer where I feel it will be amazing to wear.

The opening is a delightful blend of citrus and peony. Later on, I can smell the fun pina colada mixed in with the citrusy notes. It's quite creamy coconut with the sweet fruity smell of the pineapple. It lasts for around 5-6 hours on my skin, with the dry-down smells woody with whats left of the sweet fruit from to me.

Overall, it's a really fun, energetic and care-free scent. It a has a bit of a tropical vibe to it and it's simply perfect for summer. I will definitely be wearing it this summer, laying in the sun, on the beach or during the late summer nights drinking cocktails with the girls.

For those in the UK it is available at Harrods and House of Fraser - (I saw it at the HoF on Oxford Street recently). Both stock 50ml and 100ml now (I think)
