Wondering if anyone could help me out. I’m really disappointed that this beautiful scent was discontinued and trying to get hold of a bottle as a treat! The new editions are nothing like the original one and it’s my favourite perfume ever. Just so feminine and delicate. Does anyone know where I might be able to find some? Im not sure if some of the websites I’ve seen are legitimate and I’m suspicious they may be a scam.
Also, some bottles I’ve seen have a greenish or pinkish tint on the perfume but the ones I’ve had previously were a light amber colour. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I am in the same shoes - it is my favourite perfume ever. I have found a bottle on Vinted, just waiting for it to arrive and hoping it is the real deal.
unfortunately I couldn’t find it at any retailers :(

You mean Flora by Gucci in a hexagon bottle, amber coloured liquid?

Try Vinted, I found my favourite discontinued boss perfume on there, bought a few bottles!

I've just had a look there is a bottle of the one pictured on there

eBay is often quite good for discontinued or vintage scents.

Although they don't seem to have much at the moment but you can set up a daily search.

@ThePoetsWife yes! That one. I’ve taken a punt on a bottle from bunted so thanks for your advice. One bottle was only listed for 12 minutes before it was sold. Wish me luck, so easy to get tricked with these things.

So it’s been delivered and I think it’s fake… the fragrance didn’t last very long, and didn’t have the depth of it. Also, no stickers under the bottom, some debris in the bottle, the bottle top had a fault, and it bizarrely turned up with the inner box, but not the actual outside box. Not sure why you would keep one without the other? 😂

Want to buy another, any tips on authenticity markers to keep an eye out for?

I have a Gucci flora 1966 that I purchased from Selfridges, it came with a silk pouch. I still have the packaging and receipt as I haven't used it aside from the initial spray to test it out. I have a lot of other perfumes I have been using.

Why was it discontinued?

I see them being listed on Ebay for £250, is that how much the original is now worth or are those the fakes people are being scammed with?

How much did you pay for it? Was it real?

Thanks
