Gucci by Gucci is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Ilias Ermenidis. by Gucci opens with Pear and Guava, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Neroli, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Honey. Gucci's by Gucci carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive 'fruitchouli' that some adore for its sophisticated fruit and honeyed patchouli, while others find it too strong, too masculine, or just plain forgettable. Love it if you like a bold, modern chypre, but don't expect it to last.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a juicy burst of guava and pear, setting a fresh, fruity tone that quickly settles into a heart of delicate white florals like lily of the valley and tiare flower, brightened by neroli. The base offers a warm, musky embrace of sweet honey and earthy patchouli, creating a sensuous and elegant depth.
