Gucci Accenti

I’m not usually a vintage fragrance type of girl, but I’m currently reverting back to some of the 90s honey/peach scents. If it’s too typically retro, then I don’t like them, but this is a discontinued beauty. The opening did initially scare me the very first time I smelt it - it’s an animalic, bourbony, thick, peach syrup beast. But after the first 30 minutes it becomes a smooth peachy sandalwood that’s very powdery with soft animalic fur. Yes it’s baby powder-ish, yes it’s spicy soapy with creamy-incense in a vintage way. If Amouage brought this out now, it would be hailed as an immediate classic, as it’s got similar grande-dame vibes as Beloved. It’s so comforting, I’m under its magical spell. We just need Gucci to reissue this without reformulating. Update: It’s officially my signature scent and the more I wear it, the more I love it. I’m now in a desperate attempt to find the closest (still available) alternative whilst running an ever-losing online campaign to #BringBackGucciAccenti If I could create my own signature perfume, it would be based on this but with niche/luxury power and longevity. Gucci Accenti: My creamy-peach-honey-syrup, that’s not vanilla-sweet but creamy and warm. It’s my perfect honeyed-amber that envelops me with calming, sandalwood peach nectar. Final update: In my quest to find the closest (and still available) fragrance to this, is Viktoria Minya’s original Hedonist fragrance. 2025 Update: I’ve worked out how to recreate Gucci Accenti (albeit an expensive way): Layer Ambre Precieux by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier with Pêche Mirage by Guerlain.

Like the reviewers mentioned below, if you love other 90's hits like D&G (red cap) and Dune, you'll like this. It's your 90's spiced & honeyed fruit bouquet. I've been getting a bit sick of what the mainstream has to offer lately, so I've turned my head towards 90's gems; they have so much personality and epic lasting power. Can't I just go back in time?! Accenti is ultra-boozy at first. I don't know if that's the nature of the beast, or if it's due to age, but you may as well take a shot of whiskey in its place, lol. The booze fades into spiced peach, with some florals giving a nod for support. The other base notes have a wispy presence - gentle sandalwood, tonka, and patchouli. They're smooth and well-blended with the florals to give that "honey" quality I'm getting out of this. There is an underlying soapiness to Accenti, as if there are some aldehydes not being mentioned on the notes list. It's very nice and I'm considering a full bottle to add to my small-but-growing vintage collection. Accenti is a bit more on the mild side compared to other 90's designer offerings, so I find this acceptable for summer. It's pretty versatile and great as a daily casual reach.

With reference to Jillzilla and rockrose, I cannot define the feeling that they share, but Gucci Accenti and Jil Sanders No.4 WERE the two scents that my mother and I settled on for me as my first 'grown-up' scents when I was about 15 that suited me and did not set off her quite serious allergies. I wore them as my only scents for a decade and a half. Even though I've gone on a rather explosive scent-buying binge in the last 2 years and found other gems I love too, Accenti is still paired with No.4 as my signature scents. On my skin Accenti is slightly lighter and more ... playful than the rather more formal and formidable No.4 but I have worn both well in everyday and formal occasions. Tangerine, peach, rose, and sandalwood are the more dominate notes on me that I can distinguish in this warm and luxurious, well-blended scent. I still have about half of a 100 mL bottle and will have to savor it if I cannot get my hands on a replacement given what I hear of it being discontinued. Shame on Gucci; Accenti has to be one of their better accomplishments. At least it is for me.

I've had an intense romance with Accenti since the 90's. It was never available in South Africa so I always had trouble replenishing my drug of choice. I never considered myself a lover of oriental fragrances, let alone sweet fragrances. Yet, Accenti rolls that creamy peach, sandalwood, tonka bean incense-type fragrance together so beautifully that you can forgive her a myriad of sins. Sadly I do not recall how this performed on my skin in winter, but boy oh boy this was DELICIOUS as a summer fragrance under a hot African sky. For those who found it cloying, you might want to give it a go on a warm skin. I liked this in my 20's. I'm 40 now. I find a lot of emphasys is placed on how "age appropriateI have just (blind) ordered two 100ml bottles of Mackie by Bob Mackie from New York in the hope that it will be very similar. I cannot find Jil Sander No. 4 anywhere (also discontinued?), so I will start with Mackie. From there my Accenti takes me to to Jacques Fath's Fath De Fath. I will find the best replacement that I am able to. Keep you posted!

Since I heard this perfume was discontinued my interest in it grew and I saw what full bottles were going for on ebay and that really got me curious. I found some cheap samples and I ordered a few and then put a ton of them in my new cart to hold in case I ended up loving it I wanted to snag them before anyone else did. Well this is a wonderful perfume. When I first smelled it I almost thought I was biting into a honeycomb. It smells of the best wild honey and the wax and the pollen of all the flowers and flowering trees captured in liquid gold. I can't believe animalic isn't listed as an accord because this is very animalic but in the best way. Very sweet but not gourmand like cake, candy etc... This is a peach and honey perfume, just so damn mouth watering! I am snagging up those sample and lots of them. Don't want to be w/out this delicious scent! And BTW this is soooo much better than the new stuff Gucci is putting out! Why would they discontinue this is beyond me.

This was my favourite perfume in my 20s (together with Shalimar) for many years (it was long time ago though... 😊) wonderful and complex, warm and interesting, somehow a bit mysteriously spicy, but also gently hugging scent. I always felt very special and feminine wearing it. As it's been discontinued, it's almost impossible to obtain it nowadays. The last bottle I had I bought in my 30s from abroad (like 10 years ago), and I used it up over a very long time knowing probably I would not be able to obtain another bottle of it any more. I have beautiful memories of my young adult years connected to this perfume, when it was a really huge thing for me to use such an expensive and luxe scent. Huge pity that it's been discontinued. One of the best unique, complex, outstanding, yet very wearable fragrances in my opinion. I have not found any perfume closely resembling it yet.

I don't really understand the "oriental floral" classification here -- for me it's more like oriental fruit compote! Accenti opens very citric -- I get a huge blast of tangerine -- then becomes sweet, rich, almost overripe fruit, as the tangerine is joined by red fruits steeped in some kind of warm liqueur. It earns the "oriental" designation with a base of warm woods and tonka. Accenti doesn't smell "yummy" or edible exactly, and it doesn't smell candied -- it's like one of those incredibly lush Renaissance still lives with a silver epergne heaped and overflowing with enormous blushing fruit, accented with a few flowers. The appeal of that still life is not that you want to EAT it, so much as you want to admire its almost erotic ripeness and fleshy curves. Accenti is a powerhouse -- it's hard NOT to overspray, it goes on very strong. And it is beautiful.

OMG I finally have this! This is the smell I used to smell on beautiful women about ten years ago and I would wonder what they were wearing. I have since discovered it was this!! I have my own bottle curtosy of a wonderful online seller who had one and I have bought another on ebay. I think I may splurge and buy a third I am so scared of running out though I know I will one day or it will go sour but in the meantime it is all mine. I just love it so mine. The honeyed peach is pure me. They don't make them like this anymore. I wish they did. I mean you get nice perfumes but not like this, not with sweet slightly peppered honey and peach.... mmm it is mouth watering. I am wearing it now at work it is too good I have to pace myself!!

Accenti boasts a delicious medley of fruits - bright, slightly tart tangerine greets the nose first, soon sharing the spotlight with sweet peach liqueur. Everything is drizzled generously with a warm, sweet honey. There is a hint of clove to give the blend a little spice, while powdery tonka keeps things smooth and fuzzy. A bit animalic, but not in a beastly way. Accenti is very well-blended, decadent in its richness, and deeply feminine. A decidedly vintage perfume, yes, but the honeyed fruits keep it from feeling too dated. Too heavy for the hottest summer months, but this absolutely shines in the fall and wintertime. This is a fragrance that is both sensual and comforting. Sadly, it has been discontinued.

I was expecting not to like this, so shame on me. Accenti is far, far better than I expected. It’s a strong, spicy floriental with patchouli in the base that starts out gorgeous from the first sniff. I really don’t get much fruit, just a warm, slightly peachy glow that complements the flowers, woods, skunky musk, and vanilla. The sillage is just right, the scent is soft and comfortable, and it’s complex enough to hold and keep my interest. As it dries down, the ambery base comes to the fore with what I’m pretty sure is a good dose of myrrh. Longevity is excellent, at least 8 hours on skin. Apparently this perfume is discontinued, which is really a shame.

Oh, this is so warm sandalwood that I have a feeling that I've been wrapped in a woolen blanket in front of a fireplace. Very, very warm and invating. I feel cinnamon which is not listed, but for me is somehow present. And I do feel rose. I can't feel any jasmin or LOV, but it's ok. From the fruits listed I get only peach, but in tiny amounts. The most dominant here is sandalwood+rose, but mostly sandalwood. Warm, inviting. I don't think that this is a "sexy" fragrance or "seductive" one, I think it's more a comfort scent. Something child should want their mom to wear, so they can hug her and inhale this among with the feeling of being safe.

I'll never forgive Gucci for discontinuing this gem. This is the example of perfect balance of sandalwood+Tonka beans+peach. It's sweet and powdery and fruity (amazingly) in one. In the opening you get the mouthwatering citrusy smell which soon develops into soft, rounded ripe peach. The creamy tonka bean and sweet sandalwood linger for AGES. I put a cardigan into wardrobe and after a month or so when I took it out I still got the distinct sweetness on the sleeves and gosh it smelt even better! Until today I've yet to find anything smells like Accenti. This gotta be the best Gucci perfume, a true masterpiece by Dominique Ropion.

Sorry, this is not a review but a long-standing and rather desperate search for something similar to Accenti. Someone here described Accenti as the "perfect balance of sandalwood+Tonka beans+peach. It's sweet and powdery and fruity". I have heard that Mackie by Bob Mackie and Jil Sanders 4 is similar, but can find neither where I live. Given the balance of sandalwood, Tonka and peach, could any of you recommend anything vaguely similar that is more freely available outside of the USA? I'm desperate to relive my Accenti days. I read that Dior Addict may have similarities.

After already raving about this perfume, I'll say that of every perfume I've tried, my bf has only expressed genuine appreciation for this perfume. Otherwise, I think he would prefer that I don't wear perfume. It's so smooth and gentle that it gives the oriental genre a good name.... I finally have it, I'm saving it for very special occasions....I sold my Allure Sensuelle too.... Best perfume ever! I think the imitators need to get to work, and keep at it until somebody replicates it so I can smell this wonderful every day!

Why did Gucci discontinue this one but decide to keep Rush? What a mistake! Accenti is a lovely rich full bodied scent. Fresh fruit (not too sugary) offset by the tangerine which adds just the right amount of tartness. Then I pick up the traditional jasmine and rose blend in the heart which is well done. This slowly melts into a spicy yet dreamy base, with just the right amount of sandalwood to make the vanilla interesting. It's a definate cold weather scent, warm and inviting. Please Gucci...bring this one back!

Gucci Accenti is perfection. Spicy orange roses, velvety cognac chased by a sip of amber honey, sandalwood married to ambrosial peach nectar. Oh the cruel irony of finally finding my Holy Grail, and it's discontinued. I once believed the old adage that it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Ask me in a month or so when I've drained the last drop of juice from my bottle of Gucci Accenti if I still believe those words to be true.

I love Gucci Accenti! This is the scent of my life. The tragedy for me that I had ceased to produce. Nothing can replace it. A beautiful, sexy oriental fragrance, continued all day. Slightly sweet, a little powder, a little spicy, musky, it is difficult to determine the perfect mix. Accenti collecting smelling very nice comments, even from strangers. Exlusive perfume as a luxurious, sexy woman. Fragrant luxury. Wonder. Gucci Accenti back please!

With: tangerine, blossom, rose, lily of the valley, jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean, peach, raspberry. Very nice. Feminine. Since the first smell you can fell a really good taste... it's be better after minutes and hours... one of my favorites... With Accenti on me, I'm fell a bit injection of relax, good-humored, freshness... Comfortable and attractive scent... Good to rainy days... I want more accenti :)

Peach, tonka, sandalwood, tangerine, rose, and light clove. When you first put this on it's like a thick smoldering creamy sweet incense. The best you have ever smelled. Then after a few minutes it changes. Extreme change... Turns into a creamy peachy sandalwood compact face powder. Very feminine,warm,rich and beautiful. Confidant classy woman scent. Long lasting, great sillage.

This is my favourite of all times - so therefore Gucci had to discontinue it...? I love it because of the warmth of the smell. The sandalwood compliments the other notes way better than in a lot of other perfumes. Not too much - but not too little. I dare say that Gucci should rethink their decision and start producing it again. A lot of happy women would go shopping then...
