The story behind the bottle.
Eau de Gucci was launched in 1993 and crafted by the perfumer Michel Almairac. This fragrance encapsulates the refined elegance of its namesake brand — a house known for blending traditional Florentine craftsmanship with modern sophistication. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like bergamot, mandarin orange, and lemon, which give way to a lush heart of white florals such as ylang-ylang, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and tuberose. These are balanced by earthy accords of oakmoss, vetiver, and cedar, while powdery notes like iris and violet add depth and warmth.
Eau de Gucci has a warm base that blooms over time. Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points for best effect; it's perfect for daytime wear as the citrus notes are bright but not overpowering, while the woody and powdery base carries through the day.
