Bloom Profumo di Fiori
Gucci Bloom Profumo di Fiori Eau de Parfum 50ml is the flanker that takes the original in the direction of powder rather than fruit, and it is the one to try if white flowers usually feel too sweet on you.
Jasmine opens, then doubles back: it appears again in the heart alongside tuberose and ylang ylang, so the flower runs the length of the composition instead of handing over. Tuberose is the creamy, rubbery, slightly green one and it still carries most of the volume. Ylang ylang is the surprise, banana sweet and faintly medicinal, pushing the whole thing towards something tropical before the base pulls it back.
That base is where the character sits. Orris is the costly material here, cool and dry and a little like fresh pencil shavings and face powder together, and it cuts the richness of the flowers more effectively than anything in the original. Benzoin sweetens, in a resinous, almost balsamic way rather than a sugary one. Sandalwood gives a creamy, low warmth and musk ties it to the skin. The effect is a floral with a powdered, grown up finish.
Expect a solid eight hours, with the first ninety minutes the loudest. The 50ml bottle is the sensible size for a flanker you are testing rather than committing to, and at eau de parfum strength it will last longer than the number on the box suggests. It reads feminine, suits autumn and cooler evenings better than high summer, and works where the original would be too loud. Alberto Morillas composed this one, as he did the first.
Gucci itself needs no introduction in Florence, where Guccio Gucci opened for business in 1921 selling luggage and trunks, and where the equestrian hardware and the loafer followed. The label belongs to Kering, and its perfume has always been produced by licensees rather than by the fashion house.
