Gucci Bloom Acqua Di Fiori

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge.

It opens on galbanum leaf, cassis and bergamot, moves through honeysuckle, tuberose and jasmine, and settles on musk, iso e super and sandalwood.

• cassis: blackcurrant: tart and purple, with a green, faintly sulphurous bite
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
