Gucci Tears From The Moon: Niche Perfumery with Purpose

Niche houses operate by different rules. Where designer perfumery chases broad appeal, a house like Gucci pursues a specific vision — and Tears From The Moon is a clear expression of that philosophy. An EDP built on Floral, Fresh, Green, White Floral, composed by Alberto Morillas, it offers something mainstream perfumery rarely delivers: genuine singularity at a price that can still be justified.
