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.
