A white floriental from the Tom Ford era,
Gucci’s eponymous EdP segues imperceptibly from orange blossom to almost
tuberose with wintergreen salicylate and tart green apple inflections before
settling into a long-lasting powdery, sweet oriental base.
The opening is marked by a cuminic contrast
that I find myself wishing would hold out longer against a certain aldehydic
soapiness. The dirty/clean dialogue however, is engaging and Daniela Andrier’s
composition is a standout in both Gucci’s and her back catalogue.
Nose: Daniela Andrier
House: Gucci
Release date: 2002 (discontinued)
Notes (per Fragrantica): orange blossom,
heliotrope, caraway, iris, thyme, incense, leather, sandalwood, musk, vanilla,
