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.

About

Gucci No 1 opens with a bright, airy aldehydic lift, quickly joined by the lush, green freshness of hyacinth and lily. As it settles, a rich floral heart emerges with soft rose, delicate iris, and creamy ylang-ylang, given a subtle powderiness by heliotrope. The drydown unveils a sophisticated woody base of oakmoss and sandalwood, softened by hints of vanilla and sweet amber, creating a complex yet perfectly blended chypre floral.
