Pear Blossom
Flora Gorgeous Gardenia
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum Refill 150ml opens on pear blossom, light and faintly watery, before gardenia takes the centre and holds it. Jasmine sits alongside the gardenia and widens the white floral heart, and brown sugar comes up underneath to make the flowers sweet and edible rather than green. The gardenia is the point of it, full and creamy, and everything else is arranged to keep that flower at the front.
The base is brown sugar and patchouli. The sugar carries the gourmand weight, creamy and lactonic against the gardenia, and the patchouli grounds it so the sweetness does not float away. The movement runs from a fresh, citric-edged top through full white flowers into a sweet, slightly earthy finish. Fruit from the pear blossom stays faintly present through the heart, and the patchouli only shows itself properly in the last hours, dry underneath all that sugar.
Honorine Blanc composed it for the 2021 launch. Gucci was founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci as a leather goods house; the horsebit and stirrup motifs date from the 1930s and the green-red-green web from the 1950s.
Long lasting with moderate sillage, it stays on the skin through the day without reaching far across a room, which makes it easy to wear closely and easy to wear at work. It suits all four seasons, the pear blossom and jasmine handling spring and summer and the brown sugar handling autumn and winter, and it carries from casual days to professional wear to a night out. This is a 150ml refill, there to replenish the spray rather than stand in for it.
