Bloom Acqua di Fiori
A floral gourmand fragrance built around pomegranate, freesia, tuberose, jasmine, amber. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Flora Gorgeous Gardenia
Opens with a bright, juicy pear and red berries accord that reads almost candy-like before gardenia and jasmine push through to anchor it in actual florals. The heart is soft and pretty — gardenia-forward with jasmine playing support, neither note demanding much attention. Brown sugar threads through to the dry-down, pulling it gently gourmand without tipping into dessert territory; patchouli keeps things grounded but stays quiet. Projection is moderate and sillage polite — a skin-close warmth by hour three. — Warm-weather daywear for someone who wants sweet and feminine without committing to anything heavy.
