Floral fragrances are a forever staple for summer, whether spritzing on a fresh bloom for everyday wear or leaning into something rich and romantic for long, warm evenings. For those looking for a new addition to their perfume collection, Gucci’s Floral collection is a dreamy place to start.
This week, Gucci Floral has officially launched at LookFantastic, with prices starting from 拢26 for a 10ml bottle. The beauty one-stop shop is now stocking all four scents in the Flora range – Gorgeous Jasmine, Gorgeous Gardenia, Gorgeous Magnolia, and Gorgeous Orchid – in various sizes.
Even better, LookFantastic is offering a limited-time treat: shoppers who spend over 拢125 on Gucci beauty will receive a complimentary Gucci purse and a travel-sized Gorgeous Gardenia perfume worth 拢26.

For those new to the Flora line-up, Gorgeous Orchid blends sweet vanilla with a marine ozonic accord for a fresh yet sultry finish. Meanwhile, Jasmine is filled with sensual notes of jasmine and mandarin blossom for a bright, citrusy, and effortlessly elegant scent.
Gorgeous Gardenia combines white gardenia with jasmine for a sweet, creamy floral scent that is soft and romantic. Finally, Gorgeous Magnolia leans deeper, with velvety patchouli and juicy dewberry for an intriguing edge.
Each perfume is housed in a bottle adorned with Gucci’s iconic Flora pattern. The bottle shades echo the notes within, making them just as much of a visual statement as a fragrance one.
If floral isn’t for you, there are plenty more scents ideal for summer. That includes DKNY’s iconic Be Delicious (拢43.50, Allbeauty), which combines crisp apple and floral notes for a refreshing fragrance. Alternatively, try Marc Jacob’s Daisy Eau So Fresh (拢44, Boots), a lively and fruity fragrance perfect for daytime use.
Back to the Gucci perfumes, they’ve already had some great reviews from Look Fantastic shoppers. Gorgeous Orchid, for example, holds a solid 4.79-star rating, with one shopper saying: “It smells divine; just two sprays is enough for all day.”
Meanwhile, a Gorgeous Jasmine fan piped up: “Gucci floral jasmine is a wonderful perfume that is perfect for daily wear due to its subtle and fresh tones. The floral notes settle nicely on the skin, and the fragrance lasts most of the day without being overpowering.”
A Gardenia shopper said: “The packaging and bottle have a bright, eye-catching design, which matches the gorgeous scent of the perfume. In my opinion, there is nothing that could improve this. I would recommend this product. The scent is very soft, with a lovely floral scent that lasts a long time. Love it.”
However, the perfumes aren’t for everyone else. A Gorgeous Orchid reviewer said: “It smells like an old person, but it’s generally good, and it stays for ages. I wouldn’t buy it, though, because I don’t want to spend that much money on it.”
A Jasmine reviewer also said: “I would buy it as a gift for someone but would probably not buy it for myself as it was a little too powerful for me.”
But a Gardenia buyer piped up: “Honestly, one of the best perfumes I have smelt. Very summery and sweet.” And another person said: “This is a beautiful scent that I got compliments on when I wore it. A nice floral fusion that lasted the whole day.”
