Flora Gorgeous Jasmine
Few houses put a single flower on the front of a bottle and then actually deliver it, but Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine Eau de Parfum does, and it uses two forms of the flower to get there.
Jasmine proper gives the heady, slightly animal quality that makes the material interesting rather than merely pretty, and sambac jasmine sits beside it with a cleaner, greener character. Magnolia widens the heart with something soft and faintly citric, and damascus rose adds a deep velvet weight underneath the white flowers that most jasmine releases do not bother with. The opening is sharper than that heart: italian mandarin and bergamot give a zesty few minutes and black pepper puts a dry crack through the middle of them, which is a useful early signal that this is not going to be a simple floral.
The close is where it earns its concentration. Australian sandalwood is creamy and dry at the same time, benzoin brings a warm balsamic sweetness, and patchouli grounds the pair with an earthy depth. Alberto Morillas composed it, and his hand shows in how smoothly those three materials sit beneath the flowers rather than alongside them.
Expect several hours of genuine presence and a long, close finish afterwards, which is what an eau de parfum ought to do. It is best in cooler weather and in the evening, though it is not too heavy for a bright day, and it is aimed at women who like their florals with some shade in them.
Gucci opened in Florence in 1921, the work of Guccio Gucci, who sold luggage and bags before the house moved into equestrian accessories, the loafer and clothing. It is a Kering company, and fragrance is handled for it by an external licensee.
