The Perfume Shop - Gucci Guilty Gift Set - Christmas Inspiration

Think Christmas gifts and one of the top things on my list would be perfume and aftershave. At Christmas the stores are full of great value gifts sets that usually include an extra something for the same price as a single bottle of the chosen scent.

I love this Gucci Guilty Gift Set as the Gucci print pocket mirror is just perfect for my handbag and a bit different from the usual body lotion or shower gel that usually comes with these types of sets.

The clever people at The Perfume Shop matched me up with Gucci Guilty after I gave them a list of the types of perfume that I have liked and worn in the past.... so if you or the gift recipient likes these perfumes the chances are you or they will love Gucci Guilty.

Gucci Guilty EDT is described in the following way...

Gucci takes as a catalyst its iconic entwined Gs and brings us a heroine who regards this emblem as an incitement to subvert. For this most contemporary of rebels, Gucci is the brand of sex and power. In Gucci Guilty, this woman discovers the very scent of defiance.

Top notes

Mandarin, Pink Pepper

Heart notes

Peach, Lilac, Geranium

Base notes

Ambery Notes, Patchouli, Lilac, Geranium

The perfume is an oriental floral scent that is warm, sensuous and oozing glamour and class. The gold bottle is a mix of metal and glass in a sleek and elegant design that encompasses the classic entwined Gs. It also has that all important bathroom shelf appeal which one expects of the Gucci brand. 

I cannot believe I have never tried this gorgeous fragrance before, The Perfume Shop have helped me discover a new firm favourite. 

Gucci Guilty EDT 50ml Gift Set costs £53 from The Perfume Shop (This is a The Perfume Shop exclusive)

Perfume Sample Saturday - Gucci Premiere Eau de Parfum

I have been fond of a few Gucci perfumes over the years - I chose to wear Gucci Envy Me 2 on my wedding day and on Honeymoon to Hawaii. The mistake I made was to choose a limited edition perfume on such a special day as I am unable to evoke and relive the happiest of memories! Nothing is ever quite like the perfume that you spent hours trawling the perfume counters, sniffing endless scents, cards and your arms with the options before finally and carefully deciding on to wear for what (for some) is one of the biggest days of your life! The first time my husband smelt it was when the Vicar pronounced us man and wife and he leant in to kiss me :-)

More recently I have worn and adored Gucci by Gucci so as soon as I saw that there was a new Gucci Eau de Parfum out I was looking forward to trying it, would it be another Gucci fragrance that I would love?

Gucci Premiere 

"Gucci Première celebrates the star in every woman. Whether she is holding court at a film opening or business meeting, all her moments are golden. She turns as many heads in an impeccably tailored suit as a couture gown. Grace sits with attitude, beauty with power. She enjoys her achievements and wears her authority with ease. Wherever she finds herself, she is met with admiration. She is a modern icon."

Described as a floral woody scent

With Top notes of Bergamot and Orange Blossom, Heart notes of White Flowers and Musk and Base notes of Leather, Wood, Patchouli and Sandalwood.

My thoughts

Gucci obviously knows how to seduce me, this scent is exactly the kind of scent that appeals to me. Premiere is luxurious, sophisticated and elegant. This scent is warm, feminine and undeniably recognisable as from the Gucci house - oozing glamour, sensuality and success.

The name 'Premiere' may suggest a fragrance that is strong and all enveloping but it is surprisingly subtle and understated.

The perfume bottle is in the same design as Gucci by Gucci but this time in Gold.

A classy addition to the dressing table.
