Overwhelmingly soapy. I don't mind floral, but this smells more like a sanitizer than a spirit. It makes a decent and unusual Negroni (where it brings out grapefruit notes), and it plays fairly nicely with lemon in a Corpse Reviver No. 2 or White Lady, but straight up or with tonic it's a little overpowering.

I may be in the minority here, but I adore floral gins. In my opinion, there aren't enough of them. I like this gin quite a bit.

Blech. All I taste and smell is rose. Like waaayyy overkill rose water, but worse bc it’s supposed to be gin. I get the concept, but totally not tasty, especially for Hendrick’s. However, the label design, as always, is flawless.

Potently floral, Flora Adora may be compared to something like a Creme de Violette with no attendant sweetness. I like it, but it's a polarizing gin if popular reviews are taken into account. That said, I suggest treating this as a flavor modifier and not the base spirit of the cocktail. Add 20ml to a Vesper or Negroni in place of 20ml of the called-for London Dry and you'll see what I mean.
