Gucci Eau de Parfum relaunched in 1993, right when the Italian house changed hands to an Emirati financial group. Tom Ford was designing in the shadows before becoming the fashion giant the following year. The bottle is pure Italian luxury and sophistication; in fact, it was reused for Memoire d’une odeur in 2019. The scent is exquisite: creamy hyacinth with galbanum and ylang-ylang with mandarin nectar that makes you sigh. White flowers take centre stage, but the best part is the base: a brutally exquisite moss with resins like myrrh and benzoin, plus the warmth of amber blended with woods. It recalls Anais Anais, Alfred Sung, and a touch of Fleur de Orlane, without being identical. It’s not sharp or strident; it tries to show off its opulent base from the start and amplify it over time. It’s heavy and ostentatious, yet prefers a moderate trail that clings to the skin without overwhelming. Don’t expect beastly projection, but expect extremely high quality. That fine elegance yet ‘easy to wear’ vibe that Gucci had in the early 90s. I haven’t tried the 80s version; if I find it, I’ll update. I really enjoy this Gucci Eau de Parfum.
A sophisticated, vibrant fragrance that radiates effortless elegance with that urban Italian style. Imagine a stroll through Rome’s chicest spots: Villa Borghese, Trevi, Parioli, the Colosseum, Via Condotti, or Piazza Navona. It’s a floral explosion in this 1993 Gucci Eau de Parfum. Hard to describe: flowers all the way down to a base of moss and amber. Hyacinth leads the opening, followed by lilac, honeysuckle, ylang-ylang, valley lily, jasmine, white neroli, and rose. Unique notes include galbanum at the start and in the base. Some passages between the top and heart are beautiful, a continuous parade of flowers over a sweet background that expands. It’s less oriental than the first Fendi but rich olfactively. It’s neither millennial nor old school; it risks both sides. Perhaps it lacks a decisive touch of opulence. In the 90s it was sold as fresh, but today the note pyramid shows how much the concept of freshness has changed. Gucci at its peak.
An incredibly delicate and very feminine floral with a woody base. I liked it, but never wore it again.
Floral, feminine and pleasant, but with poor longevity and little originality. Honeysuckle dominates everything, and the woods are barely noticeable.
