The desktop profile will be more generic in its USE flags and in the packages it considers to be part of @system. desktop/gnome will set more USE flags (such as the `gnome` flag globally) and include more gnome-desktop specific packages in @system. desktop/gnome/systemd is even more narrow yet, and will implicitly install even more programs. Put another way, the more specific a profile is, the more settings and packages will be implicitly included, resulting in a more 'targetted' (less general) setup. You can preview and compare/contrast these differences by setting the profile, and then inspecting the output of emerge --info. (There's probably a better way to do that, but that's the first thing that comes to mind.)
