Gucci
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Pear bursts through with crystalline brightness, quickly joined by guava's fuzzy, slightly tropical character—a fruit-forward volley that's subtly tart rather than juicy. The opening feels almost crisp, like a bite into cold fruit, before the composition's strange alchemy begins to work.
The tiara note emerges as a creamy, slightly powdery floral that disrupts the fruity narrative entirely, introducing an intimate, skin-like quality. Honey begins its gentle sweetening work, whilst the patchouli's earthiness creeps in beneath, creating a bittersweet tension between the floral's sensuality and the base's grounding warmth.
As longevity and sillage dwindle considerably, what remains is a whisper—primarily the patchouli's woody warmth softened by honey's amber glow, anchored by a vaguely animalic musk. The fruit has retreated entirely, leaving something faintly earthy, intimate, and entirely forgettable once it fully fades.
*by Gucci Gucci* arrives as a disarmingly approachable fruity fragrance that refuses the typical sweetness trap. Ilias Ermenidis has crafted something genuinely peculiar here—a fragrance that feels caught between sophistication and playfulness, never quite settling into either camp.
The pear and guava opening is crisp and slightly tart, with guava's peachy-pink character lending an almost tropical texture that immediately suggests something beyond the expected fruity template. What's remarkable is how the tiara heart note—that animalic, slightly indolic white floral—creates an unexpected tension with the fruit. Rather than soaring into conventional floral territory, the tiara becomes almost creamy and intimate, introducing a whisper of skin-like quality that makes the fragrance feel worn rather than applied.
