Flora by Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Toilette vs My Wish Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This "Gardenia" is a misnomer, delivering a sweet, fruity floral that's either a vibrant, playful everyday scent or a generic, fleeting disappointment. Folks are divided between finding it utterly gorgeous or underwhelming, especially given its notorious poor longevity.
Divain's My Wish dupe follows Halloween's original playbook - a juicy cherry-blackcurrant opening into a creamy gardenia-jasmine heart and a caramel-patchouli base - just softer and less persistent on skin.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
