Gucci presents Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Intense in 2025, an Eau de Parfum Intense from the Flora collection. The house opens on mandarin essence, pairs a gardenia accord with hedione at the heart, and rests the whole on sandalwood essence. It describes it as a more intense version of Gorgeous Gardenia, floral, woody and sweet, in a fuchsia bottle with a golden Flora motif, worn in the campaign by Miley Cyrus.
Top note
The house indicates an opening on mandarin essence, a sparkling and tangy facet that launches the composition.
Heart note
The heart combines a gardenia accord with hedione, the house describing the latter as bringing a citrusy softness that balances the floral whiteness of the gardenia.
Base note
The base rests on sandalwood essence, described by the house as bringing a creamy, woody note that supports the whole.
What the label declares
The label confirms the sandalwood through santalol and the gardenia announced by benzyl salicylate and hydroxycitronellal, white-flower materials; it also reveals a jasmine in the form of an extract, a patchouli oil, Pogostemon cablin, and two musks, hexamethylindanopyran and hexadecanolactone, which the house's discourse does not name.
Coumarin and vanillin carry the claimed sweet tonality, tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes an amber woody note; limonene, citral, pinene and linalool extend the mandarin, geraniol, rose ketones and eugenol add a rosy and slightly spicy facet.
Competing pyramids
Ifragrance repeats the house word for word, mandarin, gardenia accord and hedione, sandalwood, with no additional material.
