Gucci Envy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997, created by Maurice Roucel.

This legendary green floral is a bona fide masterpiece, still highly sought after and painfully missed since its discontinuation. Expect bold freshness, a unique sharp elegance, and compliments galore.

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.

Its sophisticated green-floral profile with ample projection and longevity makes it suitable for date nights and formal events, commanding attention without being overwhelming.

About

Gucci Envy opens with a vivacious burst of green freshness, led by dewy lily of the valley and hyacinth, brightened by tart pineapple and crisp bergamot. As it settles, a sophisticated bouquet of rose and iris emerges, underpinned by earthy oakmoss and soft sandalwood. The overall effect is a clean, modern, and utterly distinctive floral-green chypre.
