The review

On paper, Gardenia Bloom is a reasonable bet if you want Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Intense for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Intense's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 21% less than Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Intense — the 3rd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on mandarin orange, turns to gardenia accord and Hedione, and settles into sandalwood essence and patchouli. That is the brief Gardenia Bloom is working from.

Top

  • mandarin orange

Heart

  • gardenia accord
  • Hedione

Base

  • sandalwood essence
  • patchouli
The gardenia accord thickened and grounded in sandalwood; warmer and more autumnal than the original.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 4 twins of Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Intense we can price, Gardenia Bloom is number 4 on price per 100ml.

  1. 01 Bujairami Shadida $33/100ml
  2. 02 HK Perfumes Sweet Whisper $64/100ml
  3. 03 Perfume Parlour Gardenia Bloom For Women 2448 $89/100ml
  4. 04 Perfume Parlour Gardenia Bloom $89/100ml
