The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2026 by Francesca Bianchi, Gauguin is a scent that invites you to immerse yourself in the lush, vibrant world of tropical florals and sun-drenched islands. The fragrance opens with aldehydic freshness and bergamot, cutting through the sweetness of tuberose and ylang-ylang. Monoi oil and coconut lend an island sensuality to the composition, while musk and vanilla ground it in a warm, enveloping base. Gauguin is a modern interpretation of tropical elegance, blending natural ingredients with synthetic notes for a lasting impression.
Apply a generous spritz to your pulse points for maximum impact. The tuberose and aldehydes will dominate initially but give way to a warm musky base over time. Best enjoyed in warmer weather, when its tropical notes can truly shine.
