The house

More from Gucci

Gucci began in Florence in 1906, and the Italian fashion house now makes perfume that leans floral, with a sweet and spicy streak. White flowers do most of the work, tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom, grounded by patchouli and cedar and brightened by mandarin or pink pepper. Start with Gucci Rush, a 1999 scent of white florals and patchouli. Gucci Bloom is a garden of tuberose and white blossom, and Gucci Guilty is a fruity floral with a soft touch of spice. For men, Guilty Pour Homme puts lavender with citrus and woods. Wear each for a week and let your skin decide.
