About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Gucci Envy Black Yellow (1997) is a women's Floral Green built on a wide, layered pyramid. The opening is bright and fruit-tinged: bergamot and pineapple meet freesia, magnolia and peach, giving a lifted, almost sparkling first impression before the florals settle. The heart is dense and classic — lily-of-the-valley, hyacinth, jasmine, iris, violet and rose — a white-floral core with a powdery green edge from the hyacinth and iris.

The base anchors everything in oakmoss, cedar, sandalwood and musk, with jasmine carried through. The result reads as a polished 1990s floral-green: fresh and spicy up top, lush in the middle, mossy-woody at the close. Collectors who enjoy hyacinth, oakmoss and structured white florals will find it rewarding; it suits those who prefer classic, slightly formal compositions over sweet modern gourmands. Best for daytime wear, spring and early autumn, and occasions where a composed, green-floral signature is wanted. As a discontinued Gucci release, it appeals to archive-minded buyers.

中文簡介

Gucci Envy Black Yellow(1997)係一款女裝花香綠調,香調結構層次分明。前調以佛手柑、菠蘿配小蒼蘭、玉蘭同桃子,開場明亮帶果香;中調係豐厚的白花核心——鈴蘭、風信子、茉莉、鳶尾、紫羅蘭同玫瑰,風信子與鳶尾帶來粉質綠色邊緣。基調以橡苔、雪松、檀香同麝香收結,茉莉延續其中,整體係典型九十年代花香綠調:上段清新微辛,中段濃郁,尾段苔木感。適合喜歡風信子、橡苔同結構感白花嘅收藏者,亦適合偏好經典、略帶正式感而非甜膩現代香嘅人。日間、春季與初秋使用最合適。作為已停產嘅 Gucci 作品,對檔案型買家別具吸引力。
