Gucci is launching a special limited edition of Flora by Gucci perfume from 2009. It is named Flora by Gucci 1966, inspired by the "Flora" print that adorned the scarf designed for Grace Kelly. The perfume is launched in spring of 2013.
“The year 1966 is a milestone in Gucci’s history as it marks the birth of the Flora motif. The fragrance, with its silken texture, will make every woman feel like a modern day icon.”—Frida Giannini
The scent opens with a joyous flourish of zestful bergamot spiced with the intrigue of rich, dark Bourbon pepper – a sophisticated and beguiling dry wood aroma, named after the famed French dynasty. A glorious bouquet of peony petals sit at the perfume’s heart: redolent of fresh, tender femininity, laced with an opulent, voluptuous rose. Here is something poignantly evocative amid the exoticism. Patchouli is fused with vetiver and seductive musks to convey womanliness at its most refined, captivating and profound. There is a sensuality that evokes the suppleness of silk against the softness of skin.
It is available in elegant black bottle as 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
