The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Flora by Gucci Generous Violet, launched in 2012 and crafted by Nathalie Lorson, is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that encapsulates the elegance of Italian craftsmanship. The composition opens with a fresh Violet Leaf before transitioning into a heart of rich Violet and Iris notes. These floral accords are grounded by an earthy base of Orris and Suede, creating a warm and inviting scent. This fragrance is part of Gucci's Flora Garden Collection, which celebrates the beauty of five iconic blossoms, each reflecting a different facet of femininity.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — it builds gradually, with the powdery Violet and Iris heart unfolding over time. The earthy Suede base is best experienced close to skin rather than across a room.
