Gucci - Gucci Flora New Fragrance
The Italian Fashion House of Gucci has launched a new fragrance named Flora. Light and airy, it is inspired by floral motifs from the past and is dedicated to a sensual youth, its sincerity, charm and gentleness.
In 1966 Gucci made a silk scarf with a flower ornament for the princess of Monaco Grace Kelly. Now we see this flower composition in a completely new embodiment. Restored by Gucci creative director Frieda Guanine, it continues to win admirers’ hearts in the 21st century.
Gucci Flora combines traditions with innovations, elegance of the past with the action of present days. It portrays its heroine as a young and brave Amazon, with a breath of fresh wind and drops of morning dew in her hair. She is the Goddess of Spring, reckless in her deeds and wishes. The face of the fragrance became an Australian model Abby Li Kershaw.
Though Flora’s aroma feels light and airy its composition is many-sided. It begins with clear and delicate citrus and peony notes, with the latter being the domineering ones. The aroma seems to be too sweet, but due to citrus fruits it is unobtrusive. The heart notes of rose and osmanthus, a very rare Chinese flower, add savor to the fragrance that continues in sandal and patchouli notes typical of all Gucci fragrances. It also underlines the passionate, the refined and the mature in a woman.
The bottle of Flora by Gucci made of transparent massive glass is six-sided. Around its neck a black ribbon adorned with golden bamboo tassels is tied in a bow, which adds to its elegancy. The fragrance is available in 30, 50 and 75ml Eau de Toilette.

Whatever the rose smells…or How to name a perfume? Part I.
What name must a perfume have? What task does the name have and at what is it aimed? Why is the name so important?
Of course, the name has to be catchy, bright, remarkable and to bring some associations. It is not easy to find a word, that would not only satisfy all these criteria, but would also reflect the image, the perfumer wants to create, and would carry a part of the perfume magic.
The easiest variant is to use the name of the perfumer or producer, or any of the trade mark owners, like Cardin, Armani, Gucci, Givenchy, Azzarro. Sometimes only the initials will go: K.L. by Karl Lagerfeld, Y by Yves Saint-Lauren. In this case the addition of a number to the perfume’s name will carry an element of mystery: Chanel № 19, Azzaro 9. For example, Kenzo company includes the name of the company in the majority of perfume names: Kenzo pour homme, EauparKenzo and so on. Sometimes the company, that produces fragrances, names them in honour of the founder or owner of the company: see Nina by Nina Ricci.
The most brilliant example of a surname’s use in the brand of Dior – this name is short, but catchy, and it sounds pleasantly. What is more, it is really useful for various modifications, like Diorema, Diorella, Diorissimo. Salvador Dali company seems to be also inspired by this idea – it explains the creation of Dalissime and Dalimix fragrances.
The magic of numbers is also of great importance. Chanel № 5 still remains one of the most popular perfumes in the world – probably because of the lucky number 5. They say, m-lle Chanel has organized the whole life of hers around this number, which in numerology means developed intuition and an ability to take risks.

Envy Me was created in 2004 by Gucci, the company, that represents the mysteries of Italian charm to the world. The scent is included into the floral, musk and fruit groups of perfumes. The scent is presented in a high limpid square-formed flacon, decorated with tiny Gucci logos with a white topping.
The top notes of this pure attractiveness are formed by pink peony, water jasmine, pink pepper, litchi, pomegranate and pineapple. This tender and juicy blend is continued by the heart notes, that include pink musk, white tea and wild jasmine, while the base notes, oriental and mysterious, are represented by sandalwood, teak and white musk.
