GUCCI PREMIÈRE Launches Eau De Toilette

Exciting news for GUCCI fragrance fans! This week saw the launch of the gorgeous new Gucci Première EDT, a lighter and brighter version of the original GUCCI Première EDP. I’m not familiar with the original Gucci Première EDP, but what I can say from previous experience with GUCCI fragrances (GUCCI OUD and Flora By GUCCI 1966), is that this one is much softer and more delicate than traditional GUCCI scents. The strong scent is what I love about GUCCI fragrances, but as we head into warmer weather, a lighter fragrance is always welcome! The fragrance reminds me of champagne summers and definitely lives up to its “standard” of being a fragrance designed to set a celebratory mood. I love the sparkling citrusy top notes infused with jasmine, that dry and settle into a leathery-musky patchouli base. Gucci Première fragrances take their inspiration from the Gucci Première couture collection, where luxurious evening gowns have been created and worn by world’s most captivating Hollywood stars, including; Salma Hayek Pinault, Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz, Naomi Watts, Kate Beckinsale and Li Bing Bing. Adoring the campaign for Gucci Première EDT, is no stranger to Hollywood, and none other than the gorgeous starlette, Blake Lively. She is the essence of young Hollywood glam and the epitome of classic style. Gucci Première EDT is available in three size…

Flora By Gucci 1966 {fragrance friday}

Gucci fragrances are fast becoming my new faves! I’ve always been more a Dolce & Gabbana/ Thierry Mugler gal, but since my GUCCI OUD feature, and now Flora By Gucci 1966, I’ve got a new fragrance BFF brand! The GUCCI Flora range was so exclusive, that you could only purchase it from GUCCI boutique stores. Thankfully, you don’t need to venture too far! This gorgeous collection, including the new Limited Edition Flora 1966, is available both in the GUCCI boutique stores, as well as selected department store counters. Flora 1966 celebrates the birth of a legend, true to the GUCCI heritage. The story begins in Milan in 1966, when the then Prince of Monaco, Prince Rainier, bought his wife, Grace Kelly to the GUCCI boutique. Rodolfo Gucci insisted that Princess Grace choose a gift to accompany the bamboo bag that she had purchased. Ever the lady, Princes Grace requested a scarf. Rodolfo felt that the House lacked one sufficiently beautiful for the royal style icon and so he commissioned illustrator Vittorio Accornero to create the most beautiful print he could imagine. Accornero returned with his painting: the “Flora”, a sumptuous, multi-hued, flowered template destined to become a design classic. The Flora motif, prominent on iconic GUCCI scarves, is…

GUCCI OUD {fragrance.friday}

Inspired by GUCCI Creative Director, Frida Giannini’s travels, the new fragrance from GUCCI, GUCCI OUD is a celebration of the deep and sensual fragrances of the Orient. It’s an intense and sexy scent that can be worn by women and men alike. It’s opulent and spicy – my favourite type of fragrance, with a distinct eastern scent reminiscent of a sandy desert. If you’re a fan of Tom Ford Sahara Noir or Black Orchid, then this fragrance will be a sure winner! It’s strong, sensual and has a very unique, distinct scent! GUCCI OUD opens with top notes of Pear, Raspberry and Saffron. This amazing blend then lingers into opulent notes of Bulgarian Rose and Orange Flower, before settling into an amber and musk base, with OUD at the core. GUCCI OUD also stays true to the GUCCI brand, and like all GUCCI fragrances, Patchouli notes are prominent in the base notes as well. The OUD used in GUCCI OUD has been specially selected, cultivated and purified for GUCCI. It comes from central Laos, and is grown in a sustainable, managed way that ensures the appropriate respect for this precious resource. OUD is an extremely rare, dark resinous heartwood that forms in Aquilaria and Gyrinops trees in the Middle East.…
