Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flora Gorgeous Gardenia EDP
A luminous, joyous white floral that blends creamy gardenia with juicy pear blossom and a playful brown sugar base. It is effortlessly charming and radiates feel-good energy.

Our Verdict - Florence Paradise EDP
Florence Paradise chases Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia's juicy, creamy gardenia. The pear-and-red-berry opening into a gardenia-frangipani heart over soft brown sugar reads true to the brief, but as a budget dupe it lands flatter and lighter than the designer original.
