Looking for a new signature scent for spring? Gucci's Flora Gardenia perfume is one of our top picks for the new season, and it's currently on sale with 30% off for a limited time.
It might seem a little cliché, but a floral fragrance for spring is one of the best signature scents you can have. Light, breezy and just a little sweet, florals embody all the vibes that spring and summer bring, and one of our top picks is Gucci's Flora Gorgeous Gardenia.
With a scent that's centred about the gardenia flower, it's a signature perfume that embodies joy and magic, and it's light enough to wear every day. Although a 100ml bottle is usually £139, LookFantastic's flash sale has slashed it down by 30% to just £96.60, saving you £43.
The 30ml and 50ml bottles are also on sale, although neither have quite as big a saving as the 100ml one, it's still a great opportunity to bag a bargain. In fact, the £96.60 price of the 100ml bottle makes it cheaper than a full price 50ml one, meaning you get twice as much for your money.
Gucci's Flora Gorgeous Gardenia is a sweet take on a classic floral scent, making sure it avoids that powdery note that many floral perfumes fall victim to. The gardenia flower was said to be used in elixirs and magic potions, and it was chosen to give its wearers a free-spirited, positive energy.
As well as gardenia flower, Flora Gorgeous Gardenia has notes of jasmine grandiflorum absolute, pear blossom accord and a touch of brown sugar, giving it the sweet, bright scent that makes it a great daytime wear. There's also several other scents in Gucci's Flora range, so you can choose from magnolia, orchid and jasmine-centred notes.
Some other great floral perfumes we love for spring and summer include Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau So Sweet Eau de Toilette which is also on sale at Boots, down from £54 to £43.20. It's worth noting that this is an eau de toilette, rather than an eau de parfum, which means it won't have quite as much longevity but is much more affordable.
You could also snap up Givenchy's Irresistible Rose Velvet Eau de Parfum at Sephora for a discount too. Usually £69, it's now £41.50 for 35ml, with notes of pink pepper, blackcurrant, rose and patchouli.
However if you've been swayed by Gucci's Flora Gorgeous Gardenia perfume, you're in good company as it's been a hit with other shoppers. With a 4.7 star rating and more than 3.5k five star reviews, it's clearly a winner with plenty of fragrance lovers.
One said: "I absolutely love the Gucci Flora perfume! The scent is fresh, elegant, and lasts all day without being too strong. It's perfect for everyday wear or special occasions. I've had many compliments while wearing it — definitely worth purchasing again."
Another felt the same, writing: "This perfume is amazing! It lasts so long and will get you lots of compliments as you walk along the street! It's floral without being overpowering so perfect for everyday use."
Whilst a third added: "This perfume smells amazing, I received so many lovely compliments wearing this fragrance. To me it gives a spring/summer vibes and the perfume is long lasting! I would definitely recommend to my friends and I would be buying again."
As with all perfumes, the scent always comes down to personal preference. One who wasn't as big of a fan of the Flora Gorgeous Gardenia said: "The initial smell was lovely light and floral. But after a short while, the aftersmell was quite off putting."
And another said: "The opening spray of this perfume was really lovely, very floral and feminine. However, unfortunately on my skin it quickly became quite soapy which I didn't like. I haven't seen any other reviews mention this though, so I would still recommend it be tried out by people!"
