What Reddit owners say
5/5“I'm partial to Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia and Daisy Wild. They smell so good on me. I suggest using each perfume and only that perfume for at least 2-3 days. I find that "living" with each scent makes it easier to figure out which one really suits you.”
5/5 Office“Men out in the wild routinely compliment Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau So Extra. Especially if I add a spritz of Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, although the Gucci may be stronger than you want for work. As for sexy, I know the Daisy Wild makes me feel a bit like a jungle cat. The only fragrance of mine (and I have A LOT) my husband ever spontaneously compliments me on is Phlur Golden Rule.”
3/5“Was coming here to mention Viva La Juicy. To me they're definitely similar. Gorgeous Gardenia is like a slightly more grown up version…although I hate assigning age to perfume and I have and happily wear both at 40 plus years old!”
5/5“Glossier You Fleur, my favorite You flanker, layered with Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia. It's a bleak rainy day, and I wantes something comforting, so I layered to of my favorites.”
4/5 Value“I have gorgeous gardenia and I love it. I found Burberry her elixir underwhelming for the price tag.”

5/5 Unique“Not at all! It's super weird. I placed an order this weekend for skincare products and was supposed to get a sample for Gorgeous Gardenia… and instead I got this. I didn't really know this line so I couldn't tell that I got a different sample until I went online to see if I could purchase a bottle after trying it.”
5/5 UniqueValue“I have VLJ Sucre and I love it. I found it at Ross for like $30 and it's the big bottle! It's different enough from the original that I could see adding that to my collection, however, Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia smells the same to the OG VLJ. So if you already have that then you really don't need VLJ”
3/5“Yes!! My sister can wear the heck out of Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia but on me it smells like actual trash lol”
4/5“I though it was underwhelming too, when I first tried it, but after spending the day with it yesterday, I was more impressed because I could actually smell it all day, whereas, a lot of them, the perfumes I seem to love (YBM, Flowerbomb, y”
