Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flora by Gucci EDT
This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a classy, versatile floral that smells like a dream, while others find it a cloying, 'generic perfumey' scrubber. Test it first - your skin chemistry will thank you.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Madame Gres EDP
A divisive blend that promises French chic but delivers an opening that splits opinion. If you can ride out the initial sweetness, a sophisticated, patchouli-rich dry-down awaits.

Season and Occasion Fit

Flora by Gucci

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its soft sillage and fresh floral character make it a great choice for the office or casual wear where it won't offend. However, for formal events, it might lack the gravitas some seek, and its floral nature isn't well-suited for sport.

Madame Gres

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sophisticated floral-woody-leather dry down makes it suitable for date nights and formal events, while its strong sillage limits its appropriateness for some office environments. The fruity opening offers enough versatility for casual wear, though its intensity might be too much for active sports.
