What does Flora by Gucci 1966 smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters choose it most for daytime and leisure, with office and evening wear close behind. It reads feminine.

Bergamot and pepper give a bright start with a light spice. Peony and rose turn the heart powdery, sweet and floral. Patchouli and vetiver lay a woody base, softened by musk, while chypre and oriental touches stay in the background. Guerlain Idylle Duet Rose-Patchouli and Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame have a close profile.
