GUCCI BY GUCCI
eau de toilette
Typical Gucci italian design, simple colors on the box and a simple yet luxurious bottle with a tiny Gucci chain on the bottle's neck, a straightforward reminder of the iconic Gaucho bag which made such an impact in the early 2000's.
Gucci by Gucci is, clearly, a Chypre accord. It is almost like a magic carpet flying over the green jungle. The first impression is a slice of fresh sweet pear, dipped into a glass of the finest champagne, but you can not miss the soft, fruity, lemony note of Guava. The hints of tropical Guava lend to the sturdy Gucci character a more relaxed feeling. A rounded note of green fern is also present, though very well disguised under the fruity notes.
The fragrance heart consists of only one ingredient, but one that is so full and complex it will satisfy even the more choosy noses, the Tahitian Tiare flower, a Polynesian type of gardenia well-known for its distinctive exotic scent. The white petals of the flower lend to the fragrance a unique hypnotic, cool, intense sweet odor. Smell the stimulating petal-like character and think of the morning dew resting on the fragile flower. Anyone who has ever come across a Monoi de Tahiti oil may recognize the smell of the Tahitian flower, the main ingredient of this product, through the enfleurage process. A tiny lily seems to be holding hands with the exotic protagonist Tiare. A bright and sensual accord that every woman will adore from the very first moment it touches her skin.

The aromatic epilogue is sweet and animalic as a result of the Musk and Honey notes, with an oriental and luxurious touch thanks to the alluring Patchouli note.
"The fragrance for the accomplished and modern woman" as the Gucci campaign states, and it is so true, as the complexity of Gucci by Gucci reveals a velvety aspect of the fragrance, while the exquisite floralcy of its heart is a stylish surprise. Gucci by Gucci is not a transparent and thin fragrance, its richness and classy sharpness are here to cuddle the strong but always delicate 21st century woman.
