Side by side
Same accord as Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia. Different arithmetic.
Gardenia is developed by perfumers who have composed scents for houses you already own. Same training. Same suppliers in Grasse, France. Same note structure as the £130 original, at 22–30% oil concentration (EDP grade). We cut the theatre, not the oil.
Customers consistently describe Gardenia as remarkably close to Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, often indistinguishable on skin.
Multiple verified buyers report 6-10 hour longevity, matching or exceeding the original designer EDP.
The dry-down is widely praised as smooth and linear, with the EDP-grade oil concentration cited as the difference.
Repeat purchase is the most common follow-up: many reviewers are on their second or third bottle.

On my second bottle
Started with the 5ml sample, now on my second full-size bottle. The oil concentration genuinely makes a difference to how long it lasts.

Formulated at 22-30% oil concentration, expect 6-10 hours from a single application. That matches or exceeds the longevity of most designer EDPs at 15-20% concentration.
