Olla everyone!

Here is another review of perfume for you. Let me start off by saying that is not like an ordinary perfume. This nice smelling beautiful perfume is inspired by timeless Hollywood glamour and fronted by a modern icon – Blake Lively, this new fragrance is an invitation to embrace one’s own red carpet moment.Not just that, this perfume is on a mission and you can be apart of it too.

Before I share more about my personal taught over the perfume, allow me to share a lil bit more about Chime for Change campaign. As you can see from the top picture, Gucci Première EDP came in a nice matte black box with the word CHIME FOR CHANGE.

As I mentioned earlier, lets move on and check out this Gucci Première EDP. First of all, I love how elegant the bottle packaging is. I mean it comes in gold bottle, SEXY is the best word to describe it. It looks very urban, glamorous and modern in my opinion.

If you are wondering about the scent Smile 

TOP: bergamot, orange blossom; The fragrance opens with the luxury and exuberance of a vintage champagne. A burst of effervescent bergamot fused with feminine and celebratory orange blossom conveys the heady excitement of the red carpet entrance.

HEART: white flowers, musk; At the scent’s core nestle the brilliant white flowers of an intense bouquet, laced with a magnetically sensual modern musk. The timeless allure of the leading lady, the perfect balance of sensuality and power, inspires a collective captured breath.

BASE: leather, wood; The fragrance’s warm and indulgent foundation rests in a beguiling cocktail of subtly smoky leather and creamy balsamic woods that epitomises absolute glamour.

Personally, I found that it is quite elegant and sophisticated with citrus and berry notes at the opening then come white flowers and musk ending with woody notes and patchouly. I think it's best suited for nigh time even though it's not too heavy.Longevity could be better but it lingers a few hours staying close to skin.I would recommend this scent to someone who wants to be noticed but in a discreet sort of way.
