Gucci will launch Gucci Flora The Garden, a new collection comprising five floral fragrances, in March. The Garden scents — Gorgeous Gardenia, Gracious Tuberose, Glamorous Magnolia, Generous Violet and Glorious Mandarin — are flankers to 2009's Gucci Flora. As with Flora, the new scents are fronted by model Abbey Lee Kershaw.
I will update with individual notes when I can find them.
Gucci Flora The Garden fragrances will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. ($70 / $100).

Another update: see reviews of Gorgeous Gardenia, Gracious Tuberose and Glamorous Magnolia.
And still another update: the notes for Generous Violet include violet leaves, violet petals, orris and suede accord. Glorious Mandarin features peony, mandarin, pina colada accord, jasmine, amber, white musk and creamy wood.
Robin, some of the notes for the Garden scents are listed at fragrantica, but I guess it’s not a complete notes pyramid
Thanks! I generally wait until I can get them from primary sources myself.
Main source is the best source
generous, huh?
There are only so many good g words, right? And Tuberose should be glamorous and magnolia should be gracious, that’s all wrong.
Hmmm. . .
Gigantic? “Ginormous?” Gargantuan? (too likely to make a girl feel fat if she receives it as a gift?)
Great? (too plain?)
Groovy? (too out of date?)
Gifted? (too vague?)
Grandiose?
Lugubrious? (Heh! I know it’s a cheat, but I like the idea of a lugubrious garden!)
I would buy Ginormous Tuberose!
I’ll wait for the Giggity Jasmine.
I would not buy ginormous tuberose..sorry:).
It could be worse. It could be stuff like Go Girl Gardenia & Glammorious magnolia. Justin Beiber might take these up though:D.
Giddy, gratifying, grandiloquent, gleaming, glittering…. If they want to expand the line to twenty or thirty scents, which would not surprise me, they still won’t have any problem finding adjectives.
But “graceful” would have been better than “gracious”. I don’t know what they were thinking.
Gross, grumpy, grody, gritty, grainy, gangly, ungainly, gruesome, gimpy, gooey. . .
Eye roll. I rather liked Flora, but Eye. Roll.
Flora was well done. Hope this will be too, but yeah, hard to skip the eye roll.
I own a small (1 oz) of Flora that’s about half gone. Still, yes, eye roll!
The eye roll is totally right, and it would be even worse if someone asked you what you were wearing. They sound like names for plug-in air fresheners, and agreed that the tuberose and magnolia adjectives should be switched around.
I really wanted to like Flora, because that’s the name of our little dog, a 75-lb. labradoodle. (The big dog is Bruce, who is a 100-lb variety pack mix.) But it’s just too, well, floral. I’m intrigued by the Gerplunkety Violet, but it’ll probably be sticky candied violet instead of green spring morning violet.
I’ve been exploring magnoilia scents lately and am intrigued (and yes, the adjectives for magnolia and tuberose should be switched! and isn’t “ginormous tuberose” redundant?)
Probably! But guessing that for this one, it won’t be ginormous at all.
I’m willing to remain open minded on these. Rather nice to see a different selection of florals as the main notes. Particularly interested in the magnolia. However, one hint of caramel or cherry or bubblegum or anything else that has no place in perfumery for grownups and I’m outta here. Bottles look quite pleasant also.
I like the “Garden” concept – I hope they’ll do a miniatures collection of them all in really sweet packaging along the same theme, I think it would make a gorgeous gift. I don’t mind the original Flora (call me weird, but I preferred the EDT to the EDP) – hopefully there won’t be too much of a delay getting these out to Aus (if I remember correctly, Guilty came pretty quickly, as did Guilty Intense, so maybe we’ll have some luck with this lot too).
How about Get Over the “G”s Gucci?
So what’s with launching 3 to 6 new juices at a time like D & G’s Anthology series, Guerlain’s Cities and Charnels, Givenchy’s Harvest Collection, Mugler’s Gout de Parfum, Chanel’s, Marc Jacob’s, etc.? Is it because the same bottle can be utilized and at least one of the variations of the juice will appeal to a customer?
Yes….probably nearly as cheap to do 5 flankers as it is to do 1, plus I think there’s a prestige factor involved.
