Graciella is a light scent filled with clean, clear notes. The fruits are light and not-too-sweet and fade in the first hour. The dry down is clean florals with no indole.
Graciella is a light, fresh scent that seems perfect for morning walks and running errands. There’s something quite refined and elegant in this fragrance that elevates mundane tasks to be a bit more cheerful.

This is the kind of scent that I’d gift to my daughter (if I had one) as her first perfume.
Graciella really reminds me of a young lady. Kind, gentle, innocent, never harsh, and sweet and calming. Familiar, almost.
The scent is a simple, fresh pear and apricot dominant fruity floral that reminds me of shampoo that fades into a whispery musk. It also reminds me a little of Annick Goutal’s Petite Cherie.
Sadly, the perfume is fleeting; only lasts for about 3 hours. Soft sillage, but I quite like how it is intimate and personal.
Hrovak – :
If Petite Cherie is the ultimate in fresh pear, this is it’s creamier, older pear aunt. The musk and pear scent is quite lovely; soft, clean, elegant. This isn’t what I imagine Grace Kelly smelling like, and I don’t really get that connection with someone so utterly glamorous like her, because this kind of could lean towards pear scented clean laundry or a shampoo. But I can appreciate this for what it is: a musky pear with lily. Not my favorite of the “Meet the Girls” box, but not my least favorite either.

Every time I wear this fragrance I get compliments. It’s on the light side but I spray several times and in my hair. Sophisticated great for spring and summer. It’s a keeper.

Add me to the list of disappointed folk. I think after smelling Annick Goutal’s Petite Cherie, it is possible that no other pear note will be good enough for me. This one has a slight burnt-plasticky feel to it, like melting barbie hair. It’s very artificial. I have a feeling the lily and musk notes are contributing to this. I can’t even feel the citrusy and other floral notes at all, when I inhale deeply off my wrist to try I just get a cold chemical feeling on the inside of my nose, like my nose thinks I’m trying to breathe in cheap ‘spring scented’ air-freshener or something.
I’m a huge fan of Tocca’s Stella and was so eager to try this so yeah, I’m super-sad.
It really feels like no effort went into this one at all. It barely even smells like lilies, it’s really a plastic pear + musk + cheap air freshener.
TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!!!

“Shy, unoffensive, elegant, breezy and light” would be the words I’d use if I tried to sell this perfume.
In reality GRACIELLA is more than a disappointment, I believe this is the sort of perfume people by in clearance because of the pretty bottle and first 30 seconds when it’s actually good. Then they go home and discover the horrible truth about their new perfume – it has a silage of a mild soap and it stays on the skin for 2 hours. And, the horror, for the 2 hours it does linger on the skin it is not that god at all. After the lovable fruity blast it turns to a aquatic pear scent, no, sorry, not an aquatic pear scent, it smells like the water someone washed pears in before eating them.
An utter disappointment, I would not recommend this for anyone.

This fragrance Graciella by Tocca is definitely unbalanced, since almost dry fennel like facet of Tonka bean or fenugreek like spicier facet of the pear note(or magnolia note) or of immortelle or caravay was the only thing that jumped to my nose when I smelled the paper strip. This smells almost as immortelle and (or dry fruit note) or caravay in L’eau de Hesperides Diptyque. Basically, the pear note and/or magnolia note in Graciella falls apart at the start, which is ok with me, since I am yet to smell the pear in the fragrance when it’s announced anyway. I usually smell the pear in the fragrances when it’s not stated, for example as the fruity facets of the rose fragrance (L’Occitane Rose 4 Reines) and some others.
Soon after initial tuning of the fragrance (or of the nose?)one can smell something somewhat resembling the pear, and it is not nauseating, then I smell the result of the designer’s effort to show the wetness (juiciness), sweetness and freshness of the fruit. But my nose never adjusts to imperfectly constructed fruit/magnolia note, sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s just an upper facet and the base separated from it.
It’s ok, in case if balancing takes 100 other different synthetics and fixes. Maybe I will get a “cleaner” fragrance this way. Nevertheless, it seems to smell as a slightly better quality fragrance than Flora by Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia.
Unlike some very cloying unbearable sweetish greenness of lilies in Cartier’s Baiser Vole, or relentless pear note, that seems close to “lily” for my nose, in Annick Goutal’s Petite Cherie and countless other “pear” and “lily” creations (I have a feeling , somebody has been intentionally hurting French houses for some time already, and French houses really need very strong advocates), Tocca’s Graciella is non-obtrusive , transparent fruity floral, that lets one breath freely, not battered by their own perfume. In fact all Toccas I smelled gave me an impression of transparency and ease.
Another joy that imperfect balancing of Toccas ensures: nice surprises. It’s always nice to find something familiar with a twist in Tocca’s fragrances. They both smell dear and slightly new at the same time. Love that guessing game of what they remind me.
Somewhat similar to L’Occitane: pseudo simple compositions, that are much more dear to me than more expensive fragrances with murky love stories attached.
If being unbalanced (which I am)and transparent are imperfections of the fragrance, this is exactly the case when I love imperfections more than highly concentrated pretense.

I agree–a light fruity floral. Wearable but boring.

Graciella – what a lovely, fresh, delightful scent. When I first tried it in store, I sprayed a bit on my writst, smelt it, then spraed it all over my neck and arms. It is light enough to be an all over scent – nice in the summer days when you don’t want something too overpowering. Very classy, easy to wear perfume. I bought the bottle after that and I have not regretted it. It is named after Grace Kelly – she was sophisticated and classy and this scent represents her in every way.
HomoJamnSwalm – :
Mostlyl strong white lilies, with a faint watery pear note to alleviate the plain white flower feeling. There’s a slight metallic edge, probably the iris, but overall, it’s a same-y Big White Floral on me. Not different enough for me to want, but in itself, it’s classy and lovely.
dzigo29 – :
Just got a rollerball sample with my Sephora purchase and I must say this is very nice. I really love the creaminess of it- the florals and fruits seem to meld together so wonderfully. There is cashmere listed in its notes and I can smell it. If it were in spray form, I’m sure I’d get bigger sillage and longevity. This would be great to wear when it’s Spring and Summer.
Sukbar75 – :
Really, it’s very pretty. Soft, airy, with lots of elegance. I think it fits a modern Grace. It’s just enough of a lush floral without being too strong for me, and it also smells calming. I’d wear it to take a stroll in the spring.
DronTeroile – :
I bought this blind and was a bit worried….the descriptions of pear and lily was a bit odd. However, it’s a lovely wear. Initially there is a big floral hit, lots of lily, but it softens to something feminine and warm. It’s gentle without being sappy.
Other reviewers mentioned the quality and freshness of the fragrance and I have to agree, it is pure and not synthetic.
A definite hit for spring – summer.

Shortly after testing Tocca’s Florence, a kind sales assistant urged me to test Graciella. Since I adore pear in almost any fragrance, this delightfully sweet and delicate scent was a must-try.
I do indeed love Graciella, however its subtlety sometimes bothers me. Some days I can smell it, other days I cannot.
It’s neither too floral nor too fruity. I find it a nice balance between the two. Both the pear and apricot notes provide some natural sweetness, while a creamy blend of lily and ylang ylang smell clean and feminine underneath all the fruitiness.
This Spring, I’ve been wearing a lot of pastel colours, and as soon as I smelt Graciella, I knew it would be the perfect scent to match my style. It’s a really girly fragrance, and I kind of like that aspect.
The drydown is a touch more intense, with rich benzoin, rose and musk. It concludes this scent well, allowing the wearer to enjoy a sudden burst of projection for the last few hours of wear. I would recommend this scent to everyone and anyone. This brand is so underrated.
FNJames – :
Definately a little on the boring side, but sometimes boring is good? Right? I mean in the sense that this very pretty fragrance is simply stated. Very soft, but clean, slightly fruity. I’m not getting too much musk and the lasting power isn’t very long. What caught me was the scent about an hour later, just a hint of something unique.
Perfect for the office, everyday soft floral.

this fragrance is so underrated. Do you know how hard it is to find a fresh dewy,not dirty or spicy casablanca lily? Almost impossible! the lily really loves my skin, and sticks out on a background of watery fruits and a resinous light musky base. I adore the smell of casablanca lilies, and this takes me back to my childhood. It simply does not smell like anything else I can think of on the market at this time! And I do not detect any headache inducing synthetic chemicals. I beleive this is a perfume that would be an excellent blind buy, I simply can’t get enough of it!

This fragrance is delicately floral and fruity at the same time. When sniffed from the bottle it has what I can best describe as a watery quality. It literally makes my mouth water, but not the same as when you smell a real pear, but similar. On my skin the lilly and rose are more apparent. The fruits in the top fade after about an hour, but have enough lingering staying power to keep the flowers from becoming overpowering. The benzoin is there in the background throughout and the musk is subtle. In three words I would describe it is as: bright, elegant, fresh.
ISA99 – :
This scent is beautiful, feminine, delicate, understated, and perfect for spring. They didn’t go wrong with this one when they devoted it to Grace Kelly; it’s completely fitting. I don’t find it boring at all- I find its classic simplicity refreshing. Although it’s a fruity floral it’s not too sweet! This scent has a harmony to it that is tranquil, soothing, and uplifting. It has about four hours of lasting power, but it has decent sillage for most of that time. It is never overpowering; it’s always ladylike.
Juve – :
I had such high hopes for this one. The bottle is beautiful and with Grace Kelly being the inspiration I had to try it.
On first spray it smells so enchanting, it really does. I can’t pick out notes in particular excepting a hint of apricot and flowers. This lovliness last about 5 minutes however and then it fades to pear and musk with a hint of lily and then the lily disappears and it is just pear and musk, somewhat aquatic, and very boring. Such a shame.

Tocca GRACIELLA is a pleasant, resinous (benzoin + musk) fruity-floral perfume with a clean and sweet rather than dirty lily note. I also notice the iris and ylang-ylang, but the pear is really quite prominent, so this is definitely just as fruity as it is floral.
Another simple pleasure from the house of Tocca, GRACIELLA smells natural and inoffensive and is much better than most of the designer fruity-floral perfumes with huge advertising budgets.
I recommend this line to those who seek mainstream-type perfumes made with high-quality components, as the Tocca offerings, while neither profound nor complex, never smell like chemical soup to me, and that’s a good thing, in and of itself. The bottles are also beautiful.
