Gucci by Gucci
January 3, 2009
Gucci by Gucci pour homme- eau de toilette spray
Top notes: bergamot, cypress and violet
Heart notes: tobacco leaves and jasmine
Base notes: patchouli, amber and incense.
Though the reviews for this scent were not the best (to say the least…I think Luca Turin described it along the lines of a rush hour scent - but obviously with more eloquence) I wanted to try one of the latest Gucci scents and this appeared to be the best of the bunch available with the decision being swung in it’s favour by the lovely bottle.
I haven’t tried any Gucci products since Tom Ford left which must be about 5 years now, and I’m happy enough with this product.
I’m never a fan of something that’s too overpowering, and this one suits well with a fresh but bold smell once first applied. Though the top notes fade relatively quickly the scent lasts a reasonable length of time in a very subtle way. I’m not sure it really develops into the dry down stage though…or if it does it really isn’t powerful enough to be recognisable.
Would I rebuy? Yes…but probably only for the brand of which this is the best of the bunch out at the moment. However there are certainly much cheaper and better options out there. Chanel’s Allure still remains my favourite - I’m attempting the ’sport’ version just now which seems a bit more citrusesque.
