Accenti (1995)
by Gucci

It is a huge loss that this frag is in the 'RIP' category these days.

Lovely from the first spray. Warm, luscious, feminine, and unique beyond measure. Why would anyone discontinue this amazing scent is beyond me.

The ingredients are (or 'were', I should say) jasmine, rose, lily-of-the-valley, tangerine, vanilla, tonka bean, peach, raspberry and sandalwood. Spicy and wood-sy, Accenti was unmistakably feminine, and a perfume I would call 'simply impressive.'

Not only a great scent, but it is worthy of being a classic. The type of classic that companies like Gucci enjoys to make a million variations of -to release for summer, winter, 'Eau de Fraiche', light, extreme... you know the whole ordeal.

If you have the chance to test this luscious creation, please do so. The only thing that will disappoint you is the cruel cold reality that this is no longer being made.

Beautiful and very potent: The opening accord is an interesting and rather abstract fruity green, intensified by aldehydes. It is appealing but, as I think about it, this accord is interesting because of its smooth elegant - but - neutral richness rather than presenting some kind of brightly compelling note or steamy ambiance. With the heart notes, the rose, jasmine, and lily of the valley come on stronger in an excellent, classy floral / fruit. Again, the accord is not dramatic; it is simply neutrally rich and full. The rose and jasmine are very important elements in the heart notes, and the fruit do not come through very strongly for me. I don’t get very much peach or clove, but I get a healthy raspberry and sandalwood, and I love this stage between the heart notes and the base notes. The base is the best of the three levels: It is smooth and woody (sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver) without being too masculine. The use of vanilla is exactly right, and you won’t hear me say that too often about vanilla. The vanilla continues the polished fineness of the top and middle. This is not an exciting fragrance but it’s a good, solid performer near elegant but comfortably adaptable for casual use... but just remember, it is potent.

feminine scent.Strong, long lasting. I count it on same gategory as coco.
In business occasions perfect.

I got a 100ml bottle of this as a gift, oh about 2 months ago and until today have not had the nerve to spray it on... I am fully aware of it's staying power you see! Several years ago my sister had purchased two bottles of body lotion and, well the scent in the summer nearly knocked me out! Anyhow, today I decided to try this and what do you know! To my great surprise Accenti is really not bad at all. I mixed it with Vanilla oil, (something I tend to do when I am not 100% sure I will like the scent for the whole day). It worked like magic too might I add. Two people in the elevator asked me what I was wearing, one of them standing far closer then was necessary ;)I got a few more compliments during my lunch time at work... So I guess this works afterall. Initially I was sure that his would be far too strong and wear that way throughout the day, but perhaps it was vanilla oil that really softened it up and made it foody. OK, I admit I love foody sweet fragrances. I am so happy I tied this on today, I really love it! The notes are: Black Currant, Tangerine, Rose, Lily of the Valley, Jasmine, Clove, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Peach, Raspberry, Vetiver, and Patchouli. So adding extra pure Vanilla really made it all come together very nicely...

Very beautiful perfume. Sexy, stylish and smart. Very long lasting as well. One of my staples that I use anytime of the year.
