About Gucci

Gucci fragrances, under creative direction influenced by Alessandro Michele's maximalist vision, include the popular Flora collection. Gorgeous Gardenia is a bestseller in the fresh floral category. Retail prices range from £60 to £110.

We cut the celebrity endorsement, the department store concession, and the brand licence. The difference goes back into the formula.

The difference between a Gucci original and a TFW inspired-by fragrance is not quality. It is branding. Raw materials account for 3-8% of a designer fragrance's retail price. The remaining 92-97% covers celebrity endorsements, department store margins, packaging design, and brand licensing. The Fragrance World removes those costs and invests in the formulation itself.
