Gracia-Cetto’s Fragrance Wardrobe: From Opulence to Muskiness

“I started wearing perfume as a young teenager, and let me tell you, the fragrances I wore back then were extremely sensual—opulent and sexy. But as time went on, my fragrance preferences took a more intimate turn. I became drawn to musky perfumes, with solar and cologne-like notes. And now, as a master perfumer, I’m currently gravitating toward musky colognes. It’s a fragrance journey that has evolved with me.”

What Defines Gracia-Cetto’s Fragrance Style?

“Defining my fragrance style is like trying to catch a hummingbird with a fishing net—it’s difficult and ever-changing. What I’m always looking for is exploration. My fragrance style is constantly shifting, as I embrace the world of scents with an open mind and nose.”

The Birth of Gracia-Cetto’s Passion for Perfumery: Jasmine and White Flowers

“My interest in perfumery sparked from my experiences in nature. When I lived in Egypt, I was captivated by the scent of jasmine—a fragrance that still holds a special place in my heart. Jasmine and white flowers, in general, have been my forever favorites.”

Office-Safe Scents: Neutrality is the Key

“When I’m at work, I prefer to remain as neutral as possible, scent-wise. It allows me to fully focus on the fragrances I’m working on. But as soon as I step out of the office, I unleash my trials on myself. I spray and test them to gauge their power and impact. Plus, it gives me an opportunity to gather feedback from people around me. It’s all part of the perfumer’s process.”

Comforting Fragrance Note: When in Doubt, Go for Musk

“Musk notes are my ultimate comfort scents. There’s something about their warm and sensual embrace that instantly puts me at ease. And let’s not forget about patchouli—it’s another fragrance note that brings me a sense of comfort and grounding.”

Scents of Good Memories: From France’s South to Cooking Spices

“Ah, the scents of good memories! I have so many. Jasmine and orange flowers remind me of the South of France, with its delightful floral bouquets. The smell of pine trees on a scorching summer day and the salty marine aroma of the ocean transport me to blissful moments. And then there are the cooking smells—the rich spices that fill the air with their enticing aromas.”

The Power Note: Patchouli Takes the Crown

“Let’s talk power notes, shall we? Patchouli steals the show, once again. It possesses an incredible ability to awaken something deep within me—a centered feeling that exudes strength and confidence.”

Home Is Where the Simple Smells Are

“When it comes to scents that remind me of home, simplicity is key. Essential oils, the smell of lemon peel or crushed leaves, fresh basil, and mint—these are the aromas that make me feel instantly at ease. We often underestimate the power of these fresh and invigorating scents.”

Unwind and Destress: Solar and Amber Notes to the Rescue

“After a long day, it’s time to unwind and destress. And for that, I turn to solar and ambery notes. They have this magical ability to envelop you in a warm and comforting embrace. And, of course, we can’t forget about vanilla notes—they add that touch of sweetness to help melt away the stress. And once again, patchouli makes an appearance. It’s like a trusted friend that always knows how to calm my senses.”

The Perfume for This Chapter of Life: Rediscovering the Magic of Vanilla

“When you work as a perfumer, you experience different waves—a season of woody notes, a phase of floral notes. Currently, I’m deeply engrossed in rediscovering the natural wonders of vanilla absolute. It’s such a versatile ingredient that can transform from sugary to leathery, woody, or spicy. It’s an ongoing exploration—a fragrance that reflects this beautiful chapter of my life.”

The Pinnacle of Sensuality: Gucci Guilty Elixir Pour Femme

So, what makes the Gucci Guilty Elixir Pour Femme truly extraordinary? Brace yourself for the ultimate sensuality.

“With this Elixir Pour Femme, we wanted to create something powerful yet intimate. It’s a fragrance that combines powdery and ambery accords, setting it apart from anything else. Here’s the exciting part: some men in Europe are even wearing the feminine elixir, and vice versa. The Gucci Guilty Elixir has shattered all traditional fragrance boundaries. It represents the evolution of society—a testament to feeling free, confident, and utterly desirable in one’s own skin. We want to explore, to push the boundaries, but we also need that grounding element. And these perfumes embody that spirit perfectly. Trust me, the campaign captures this essence flawlessly.”

The Sensual Symphony: Wisteria, Rose, and Vanilla in Perfect Harmony

“Let’s talk about the scent itself. The Guilty Elixir is all about sensuality—it’s an olfactory symphony that dances on your skin. Imagine wisteria, rose, and violet blending together like a magnificent floral bouquet. And for that touch of sensuality, we introduced vanilla absolute from Madagascar and tonka bean from Venezuela. This tag team of fragrant champions creates a seductive and sophisticated experience that’s both intense and romantic.”

The Deeper Dive: Elixir vs. the Original Gucci Guilty

“The Gucci Guilty Elixir takes sensuality to new depths. From the eau de toilette to the eau de parfum and eau de parfum intense, we’re now venturing into the realm of the Elixir—a fragrance that exudes a mysterious and profound sensuality. While the original EDT had a more romantic feel, the Elixir goes further. It captures the essence of ultimate seduction.”

The Gucci Journey: A 7-Year Collaboration

“While the Gucci journey may seem like an overnight success, it has actually been a seven-year collaboration. I started with the EDP, followed by the EDP Intense, and now, the Elixir. Each step has been a magnificent exploration, and I’m grateful to be a part of this incredible fragrance evolution.”
