Moves From Italian Fashion Leader Gucci adds Perfume to His Repertoire

The Gucci fashion line started from humble beginnings as a small family business that sold mainly leather goods. Guccio Gucci founded a saddlery shop in 1906 which developed into the Gucci brand, rising to prominence in the fashion industry.

It 1938 Gucci opened its first boutique and eventually, Guccio Gucci’s initials (GG) became one of the most recognized symbols of fashion in the 1960s. Gucci perfume was an offshoot of the famous brand. It's a fairly common practice nowadays for fashion lines to branch out into the perfume industry and Gucci is no exception.

Perfume Smelling Like Leather?

Gucci frist moved into the perfume market during the 1990s with both women’s and men’s fragrances. Even the packaging seems very "desiner", with clean lines and the GG logo in pink on the Gucci women’s perfume which is called 'Envy Me'. This particular perfume by Gucci has a number of interesting accents such as pomegranate, pineapple, pink pepper and litchi. It also contains musk, sandalwood and floral scents. 'Envy Me' retails for around $82 for 3.4 ounces of eau de toilette. ' For men who desire a strong scent, the 'Pour Homme' Eau De Toilette is available at around $62 for 3.4 ounces and one of its notes is, of course, leather. 'Envy for Men' is also available, as is a limited edition perfume by Gucci for women called 'Envy Me2'.

You can normally find discounted perfumes at various websites, so you should always do a Google search before purchasing your Gucci perfume at a major retailer’s website. You never know what bargains you might find.

Another nice scent to try is the Gucci 'Eau de Parfum II', which has a lot of fruit in it with notes like blackberry and mandarin, along with nice floral touches like jasmine and heliotrope. Being an eau de parfum, it is more expensive than the eau de toilette. It retails for around $65 for 1.7 ounces, so if you wanted 3.4 ounces (compared to the Envy Me Eau de Toilette at $82) it would run you around $130. The reason for the price difference is that eau de parfum contains a higher concentration of perfume oils.

For a good eau de toilette, the fragrance should contain 4-10% perfume oil and an eau de parfum will have between 8-15% perfume oil in it. Whatever you're looking for you're sure to find a Gucci perfume that suits your taste.
