Envy Me

I've been wanting to try on this perfume since I've been looking for a summer/spring fragrance and saw several people on the net suggesting this. They also say it draws compliments and I've been also on the lookout for such - so I was so excited when this bottle arrived. I saw so many people here commenting that this fragrance is forgettable and not unique but I beg to disagree. I believe that yeah, it's somewhat reminiscent to a lotion I have sniffed before (still a good thing) - but that's it. The combination of the notes for me is great. They are nothing I have smelled before. I love this. I've always been blind-buying perfumes (I know, not a good thing to do). And so far - this Gucci Envy Me is that top perfume that I did not regret getting. All in all - I love that the scent is light: floral/fruity with a hint of masculinity and green notes. Ahhhh, I love sniffing it on my wrist. When the wind blows on me, I could smell other notes I cannot decipher. Haha. Soooo lovely. Contemplating on making this my signature perfume. Guess I have to look on other Gucci perfumes too. Also, this is one perfume that has good sillage. I seldom have a bottle of perfume that I smell around me immediately. Most perfumes I got, has to be sprayed a lot before I could smell it on me but this one's soooo great - considering it's just an EDT!!!! Bottomline: if you love fruity/floral scents that are NOT overly sweet, you should try this! P.S. I love the bottle! So chic and girly. Looks plasticky at first but it's sturdy. What can I say? I do not hate anything about this perfume. 10/10 for me. EDIT: I am loving this perfume, really. Really. The pink pepper adds some oomph to it!! Plus, the drydown is superb! Creamy sort-of vanillic floral (if that's possible). Lovely!! Ugh, cannot get enough of sniffing on my wrists.

I love this fragrance! I first bought it during a crazed collecting phase when I had run out of interesting ideas and saw this sitting on a shelf at a discount store. I sprayed it a few times initially, and didn't feel the love (thought it was just ok - because I was at that point just coming out of a major niche phase), but things completely changed as the months went on. For some reason I placed this one next to my bed (I have a bedtime ritual of testing perfumes) and it stayed there. I tried it again several times in the following months and slowly fell in love. Each time I spray this I think it's more and more beautiful - not just beautiful, but perfect. It's an EDT, but wears like an EDP. This is a fragrance that requires multiple wearings and maybe several chances.. I wasn't that excited originally, but now am looking for backup bottles because this is one I would be obsessively seeking if it were ever discontinued.

Ok, OK...I understand why some reviewers write this off as a typical fruity-floral frag, BUT...my sensitive sniffer picks up a lot of nuance in this. The opening brings lots of fruity-ness, but its across the spectrum from aquatic-juicy (litchi) to tangy and tropical (peach, pineapple), and it's all zipped up with the zesty pink pepper. In the middle is probably where Envy Me loses some people, it is a very classic peony-rose scent there. As the drydown unfolds, however, I get so much WHITE TEA peeking through the flowers and fruits, ahhh it's GLORIOUS! I love tea notes in perfume, especially white tea. Here, it melds wonderfully with the pineapple, musk, and woods notes. I can't get enough of the drydown. I came back to this perfume after not having sniffed it in about 15 years. It is as refreshing and enchanting as ever!

Gosh, I really miss this scent y'all. I remember it was a gift from an ex that at first caught me off guard... I remember thinking the scent was odd_ too sharp and cold for me. At the time, I was always wearing Ralph and enjoyed that fruity and musky vibe. This was floral and peppery. So strange, and just not my style. However, I saw it was Gucci so I kept wearing it lol. I don't know at what point I decided I liked it, but I finished the huge bottle and was so sad when it was gone. I miss that scent, and feel that I could recognize it anywhere. Beyond sad it has been discontinued. Does anyone know where I could find a good dupe? Anyway, I miss this rose, pepper weirdo perfume, and it will always be one of my favorites. So fresh, chic and feminine :)

This smells like drunk (on pina colada) sex in the Carribbean :) -smells like rich kids having an exotic carefree vacation -its yummy,exotic, melts on your skin and it goes to your head. Its rare that a perfume smells so delish, like bubble gum and shampoo, but still has a bitter sort of base,that gives sofistication, and has such a sillage and longevity.(incredible for a EDT), it melts in my pores and becomes my own skin's smell. I dont see this being the most appropriate "business" perfume as stated below, but I do see it projecting a happy bubbly mood and getting you through a hard day at work.. Its not suitable for a bride but it is for a sexy maid of honour, because its sooo playful and flirtatious...
