Inspired by beauty of Pantellerie, where he spent his vacation, Armani created the aroma of Aqua di Gio for men and women. The fragrance for men is a scent of freedom, full of wind and water. The composition is built of a perfect harmony of sweet and salty notes of sea water and nuances of sunny warmth on your skin. Aqua di Gio is full of scorching Mediterranean sun. Bitter citrus with aromatic nuance of rosemary intertwines with salty, sea nuances and pellucid hedione. Sharp notes of spices are softened by woody base with warm, musky trail.It was created in 1996 by Alberto Morillas.

About
Envy by Gucci is a Floral Green fragrance for women. Envy was launched in 1997. The nose behind this fragrance is Maurice Roucel. Top notes are Bergamot, Freesia, Pineapple, Magnolia and Peach; middle notes are Lily-of-the-Valley, Hiacynth, Jasmine, Iris, Violet and Rose; base notes are Oakmoss, Jasmine, Cedar, Musk and Sandalwood. Gucci Envy appeared on the perfume- scene in 1997 and became one of the most interesting products launched by the house of Gucci. Envy could be compared to a breeze that brings spring into the city. Its architecture is modern; it denies gaudiness, accentuating minimalism. The composition starts with green notes with a cool metal note that freezes the senses. Gradually the scent warms up due to woody notes and musk. This metal accord surrounded by a floral bouquet became very popular during the 90’s. The notes are Hyacinthus, lily of the valley, rose, jasmine, green notes, magnolia, iris, woods and musk.
