Gucci, from Florentine leather goods to perfume
Gucci was born in Florence in 1921 as a leather goods workshop, and since 1999 it has been part of the French group Kering. In perfume, the house works by family: one woody, amber line, Guilty, and two florals, Flora Gorgeous and Bloom.
The lines in our selection
Guilty: woods and amber, for him and for her
For him there's Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum, the men's version of the line in eau de parfum. The same line also includes the deodorant spray, an aromatic woody scent with French lavender, amber cistus and patchouli, and the shower gel, built on an aromatic fougère accord with pink pepper and Italian lemon.
For her there's Guilty Elixir Pour Femme, a woody amber floral composition signed by perfumers Quentin Bisch and Nathalie Cetto.
Then there are the two Absolu de Parfum, which the house presents as a pair of Millésimes, both intense compositions. Guilty Absolu de Parfum Uomo is a woody amber with a rum accord at its heart that the house compares to a refined aged liqueur, while Guilty Absolu de Parfum Donna is a floral amber with a coffee amaretto accord.
Flora Gorgeous: gardenia and magnolia
Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum Intense is a gourmand, woody floral that pairs gardenia with sweet, juicy fruit notes and rich, woody tones.

Bloom: a garden in flower
Bloom Eau de Parfum is a floral eau de parfum for women that the house describes as a garden of delicate flowers, with a refined, contemporary soul.
