The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Gucci, A Forgotten Rose Perfume Oil is a floral composition crafted by master perfumer Alberto Morillas. The fragrance opens with the bright freshness of rose, which gradually softens into a musky and powdery base that adds warmth and depth. This interplay creates an aura of refined elegance, reminiscent of the brand's Florentine heritage and its commitment to combining luxury with artisanal craftsmanship.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a gentle warmth that develops over time. The powdery base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so plan accordingly. It’s best suited for evening wear or cooler weather when its depth can be appreciated more.
