The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 to celebrate Gucci's centennial, 1921 by Alberto Morillas is a chypre floral fragrance that channels the brand’s legacy of refined elegance and craftsmanship. The composition opens with bright citron and lemon verbena before giving way to neroli, creating a lush, green, and citrusy bouquet. At its heart lies oakmoss, grounding the scent with earthy, mossy notes that evoke a lush forest. This blend is both fresh and complex, embodying the spirit of continuous experimentation and innovation that Gucci has championed since 1921.
Apply two sprays to let the fresh top notes settle into the warm base. The fragrance blooms over time, so it’s best to wear it when you have a few minutes before heading out. It reads well both close to skin and across a room.
