Tocca's Fragrance Notes

TOCCA Florence Perfume was released in 2006 and is appropriately classified as a green floral fragrance. Tocca describes the Eau De Parfum and its notes as follows:

A Parisian beauty and sophisticate, conjures memories of old-world Paris.

Gardenia, which symbolizes love and grace in the Far East, is a beautiful decorative shrub. It was named after American botanist Dr. Alexander Garden who discovered it while on an expedition to China. The flowers of this plant are white with yellow centers that have a pleasant aroma when they bloom during springtime or summertime.

Gardenia may be added as decoration to traditional green tea such as jasmine for its fragrant smell and representing harmony and peace. The flowers are delicate and fragrant and often used in the East Asian culinary world. The flower itself is white waxy texture and five petals with a yellow center.

The actual flower on the bush has a very delicate, dewy, green, airy aroma.

Gardenia is one of those flowers whose aroma can’t be captured from the petals, and its scent cannot be distilled. However, it's recreated using other essential oils. This flower is known to have a myriad of uses and is a popular component in perfumes and aromatherapy. The most popular essential oil used to make floral scents is the Pogostemon cablin, also known as patchouli, and has a pungent, musty, and earthy smell far from the flower’s actual fragrance. Other essential oils that are used include chamomile, ylang-ylang, and lavender.

Tuberose is one of the main ways to create a rich, indolic gardenia smell. 

The origin of tuberose oil can be traced to Hawaii, where it was used as a fragrance during religious ceremonies. Nowadays, it is often used in beauty products due to its sweet aroma.

Tuberose oil blends well with the essential oils of orange, bergamot, neroli, lemon, rose, jasmine, lavender, and crushed violet petals. It also makes an excellent base note in perfumes.

It's also why perfumes that contain this ingredient are often described as being buttery-rich.

Notes:

Top: Italian bergamot, Grapefruit leaf, Green pear, Green Apple

Middle: Ivory gardenia note, violet petals, Jasmine, Tuberose, Blue iris

Bottom: Blonde wood, White musk

The Gardenia perfume

As far as perfumes go, Tocca Eau de Parfum isn't too complex; it has charming old-world beauty. It's doesn't change much throughout its lifespan, but some features make this different from other scents out in the market today; you get simple freshness mixed into your daily life routine when wearing TOCCA Parfume. It is Kim Kardashian's signature scent; try it; it may become yours!

The beautiful flower is a summery fragrance that sends fresh scents into the air. It has light green notes of crisp pear and a dewy gardenia note with subtle whiffs of tuberose to create an overall feeling like being in a sunny field on dainty feet surrounded by flowers.

It is not until later that something green remains to counteract the flowery aroma. It is gardenia with a touch of tuberose and jasmine all together in a very fresh, perfect blend.

After some time, the Eau De Parfum becomes a skin scent, a bit creamier and more decadent. It's never cloying but always feels green with a watery fragrance despite its potency.

Perfumes Similar To Tocca's Florence:

While it's true that Michael Kors perfumes are heavily based on Floral scent types like tuberose and white flowers, the white flowers remain throughout the entire wearing of the fragrance. The floral scents are primarily lily, freesia, and white rose. Michael Kors fragrances also tend to have a few fruity notes, like Italian bergamot and mandarin.

Michael Kors Very Hollywood

To compare Tocca's Florence to Ineke’s Hothouse Flower, it is clear that both perfumes have similar notes. However, there are subtle differences in the fragrance of these scents, which make them unique and exciting individually and complimentary when worn together.

Both fragrances share a dewy green smell with hints of woody scents underneath - along with dashes of galbanum and tea leaves, respectively!

There are a few more that we can add here like Chanel Gardenia and Gucci Bloom.

The Cleopatra Bottle

The bottles are beautiful, rounded glass flacons with etched brass-hued caps and names that inspire romance. The seemingly simple perfume bottles were inspired by the passion and romance of the artistic, bohemian past.

Some bottles are named after the most beautiful women in history, such as Cleopatra. Others are inspired by heroines of romance, like Juliette. The royal families of history even inspired some. All of them are beautiful; any person can enjoy them in their display cabinet.

Other Reviews Of Tocca

This fragrance would be perfect if the top notes stayed the whole way through. The pear is prominent on me in the beginning and it’s more of a sweet overripe pear scent, nostalgic and juicy like a fruit picnic with a hint of citrus. It combines beautifully with the white florals like a spring day out in the garden, eating fruits, walking barefoot in the grass. 
What a lovely, fresh, sweet scents! Reminds me a lot of Ellenisia, as they share the violet(very strong on me), gardenia, tuberose and jasmine, and they both have some citrus aroma. I want one of these for spring/summer!

There are a few ways to Buy The Parfum
