Launched in 1999 by the house of Gucci, this is a bold, chypre-fruity fragrance for women, created by perfumer Michel Almairac.
The fragrance opens with top notes of peach, Californian gardenia and African freesia petals.
The heart consists of notes like coriander, damask rose and jasmine.
The base notes include patchouli, natural vanilla and vetiver.
Retail descriptions reinforce: “an exotic floral blend … impulsive and irresistible” in a distinctive red-video-cassette-inspired bottle design.
Distinctive personality: The combination of fruity top notes (peach), rich florals (gardenia, rose, jasmine) and a strong woody/chypre base gives it a unique signature character rather than a generic floral.
Memorable presence: With its chypre-woody foundation (patchouli, vetiver, vanilla), it has good staying power and gives a strong impression — ideal when you want your fragrance to leave a mark.
Versatile but expressive: While bold, the fruity-floral opening makes it appropriate for day wear and the deeper base suits evening wear — offering a flexible option in one bottle.
Premium brand cachet: As a historic fragrance from Gucci, it carries luxury branding and heritage appeal.
Nostalgic & iconic aesthetic: With its launch era (late 90s) and distinctive bottle design, it appeals to those seeking something stylish, somewhat retro-chic and statement-making.
Spray the fragrance on clean, dry skin, preferably after a shower — warmth from skin helps the scent develop.
Apply to the classic pulse points: wrists, the sides or base of the neck, and optionally behind the ears. These are the warmer spots that help project the fragrance.
For a moderate everyday presence, 1-2 sprays may suffice. If you want stronger projection (evening, special occasion), go for 3 sprays: e.g., both wrists + neck.
Do not rub wrists together after applying — this can flatten the top notes and alter the fragrance’s intended evolution.
To maximise longevity: moisturise your skin with a neutral or lightly scented lotion prior to spraying; moisturised skin retains scent better.
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat, to preserve the fragrance’s integrity and performance.
