If you want to give a piece of designer luxury this Christmas, then this gender-neutral fragrance is ideal. The brainchild of Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele, who, when asked what makes this fragrance unique? "Perfume is that thing that even with your eyes closed, brings you to a precise moment in space and time. This fragrance sets out to explore the power of memory." Find out more.

What's in it?

It's got a fresh bite that warms up on the skin to leave a musky trail that lingers for hours. Known as a mineral aromatic, this universal scent suits both men and women, with ingredients such as Roman chamomile, bitter almond, honey, and the orangey scent of heady Indian coral jasmine. Finally, the warm musky aroma I hinted to earlier is courtesy of vanilla, cedarwood, and sandalwood.

Why do we like it?

First up, we do love Gucci anything, and the vintage-inspired cut glass bottle is divine. It's a green-floral that suits anyone who likes there fragrance fresh and light. The concept, a scent made to evoke memories, is a celebration of the time spent with the special people in your life, enjoyed by anyone, and everyone, which is precisely what Christmas is all about.
