Gucci Eau de Parfum
by Gucci
Gucci Eau de Parfum is a deeply complex, warm, and opulent oriental fragrance with a pronounced leathery-gourmand core. It opens with a sharp, powdery-sweet blend of heliotrope and orange blossom, balanced by a crisp, aromatic spicy note from caraway and thyme. The heart features a dense, sophisticated accord of iris, incense, and a smoky leather element, creating a warm, slightly medicinal depth. The base is a creamy, substantial vanilla and sandalwood blend, softened by a powdery musk and hints of smoky wood, resulting in a fragrance that feels both plush and slightly aloof. While some users report moderate sillage and longevity, others note its intimate, close-to-skin projection and that the scent often resolves into a remarkably soft, lingering, powdery-vanilla leather after several hours. It evokes a sense of quiet luxury, sophistication, and romantic mystery, earning admiration for its depth, uniqueness, and strong character, though its boldness and slightly medicinal or 'naftalinsky' undertone can be divisive and are not suited for all skin types or all seasons.

Cons
