One Sentence Perfume Review: Flora by Gucci























It's a shame when a creature who is so charming at first glance turns out to be trifling and slightly degenerate.

    snockslTrue enough.

    Still, we've smelled worse...
    And it might pleasure the masses.

    You and I have PLENTY with which to pleasure our decadent senses, sister-
    Have we not ?

    We fortunate.

    Chaya, I *love* "snocksl"! Unfortunately, the masses also have plenty with which to pleasure their noses. Feh, indeed.

    And I agree with this assessment of Flora - except that I don't find it interesting enough even to be degenerate. Sad. "Wan rose." There's my 2-word damnation of it.

    (My word verification is "INNAP" - appropriate since I am just about to go lie down, hoping to shake off my 102 degree fever~)

    Poor Tommasina! Hope you feel better soon.

    I will confess that the first blast of Flora pleasured me, and I was slightly disappointed when it went all flat and vaguely icky. The masses should save a few bucks and just get themselves a bottle of Sung at TJMaxx.
