Gucci by Gucci was released in October 2007. It features top notes of pear, guava accord and chamomile; middle notes of lily of the valley, tiare flower and orange blossom; and base notes of patchouli and musk. It is an eau de parfum, edp.
Fragrantica: "This is a stunningly beautiful honey and patchouli fragrance. Perfect for autumn or winter"
Fragrantica: "its sweet yet dark maybe even slightly spicy, its intriguing and alluring. Its a gorgeous balance between the patchouli/musk and honey/pear"
It isn't cloying, which is important given that both lily of the valley and tiare flower, let alone orange blossom, can make for some sweet fragrances. Didn't really pick up any fruity topnotes and believe it must be the basenotes that are making this a more sophisticated fragrance. Even though the newer version supposedly isn't as good as the older one(s?), this is pretty darned good. Could wear it easily when Bal a Versailles or Narcisse Noir would be too much.
