Gucci by Gucci Eau de Parfum

Unlike any perfume I’ve been able to find, I’m so sad it’s discontinued, and I’ve resorted to buying from eBay. I’m not sure how someone has managed to buy a reformulated one, unless I’ve missed something? I’ve used this since it’s release, and there was only one version and then it was discontinued, and is no more. Eden perfumes do a similar scent called Bye Goochi, but it’s not quite the same (although the dry down is very very similar, so it will have to do when I can’t source it anymore!). Th EDTof this is my signature, wear anywhere, any time scent. It matches any outfit, work, date, sleep, it’s sooo versatile. I love the EDP too, but the EDT beats if for me, as the dry down is slightly fresher, both are amazing though and I have back up bottles of both! I’m not a fan of Gucci in general, I quite like bamboo and once used a bottle of it after a blind buy on a plane, but gucci by Gucci is such a stunning scent, so well put together I don’t even have words to describe how it smells. For those saying it doesn’t last maybe it’s a bit of noseblindness? As although the sillage isn’t huge, this lasts so long on me, I can literally smell it the day after I’ve sprayed it. Love it. Edit: I can still smell this as a skin scent the day after I sprayed it, the edt has gone though. Edit. Just adding that I’ve bought this perfume regularly since it’s release. There has been no difference between my vintage bottles from the time of release or the newer ones I’ve bought or been gifted in 2018, 2019 and 2020. I’ve bought many, many bottles of this and the EDT, and due to keeping back up bottles I can directly compare different years. These are my signature scent, I would know. All my bottles are stored in the cool and dark.

Stunning 😍! This one is definitely my kind of fragrance! I love those moody sexy fragrances! If you like soft pretty florals this may not appeal to you. This is for the women who like the sexy sensual fragrances. It’s perfect for a date night or a bougie gala! There’s something creamy, perhaps the honey, that makes it a cozy comforting scent! I wish I purchased a larger bottle! Gorgeous! 11/29- I just got a larger bottle on a second hand site!! I couldn’t be happier! It’s just as good as my mini dabber! Now I can spray away! It’s still out there if you’re willing to pay a pretty steep price for it! I personally have no regrets! It’s a beauty! 12/1- I am so in love with this that I ordered yet another bottle so I have a backup! It is divine and everything I love in a fragrance for fall and winter! It’s hard to find and pricey but oh well! The dry down is stunning! I sprayed it on the back of my hand and just washed dishes. It’s still there and still beautiful! I don’t have any issues with longevity! When I tried my new bottle a few days ago, I could still smell it faintly the following morning! It truly is a shame it’s been discontinued. I unfortunately always fall hard for fragrances that get discontinued! Ugh! 😩 4/16/26- just picked up yet another partial bottle! I think it’s fair to say this fragrance has me in a chokehold!! It’s right up there with my original Gio which is my favorite of all time!! I can’t get enough of this! I love so many fragrances, but rarely do I find one that I just fall so hard for where I can’t imagine being without it. I so wish this would come back, but not reformulated!! It’s perfection to me!

I don't understand the patchouli note in this scent. I don't smell it – at least not in the traditional hippy way. Nor am I getting it in an earthy way, as is in Prada Amber. Nor is it green. What I am getting is a gorgeous, satiny wood. I am really amazed by that considering there is no wood listed in the notes for this fragrance. If I were to visualize this fragrance it would be glossy, like a sleek, smooth, polished piece of ebony wood. The fact that this has no wood sent me on a search to find out more about the Patchouli plant itself. I was able to find out that there are several varieties that are shrubby, and the sap is often extracted from their woody stems and put to various uses. The most widely used this way are Java Patchouli and Indonesian Patchouli, which are prized for their sleek wood notes. If that is the type of patchouli used here that could explain the beautiful wood notes I'm smelling. When taken as a whole, this composition is very rich. The fruit, honey and spice notes are very light, seemingly only there to accentuate the beautiful patchouli. I'm not getting Tiare outright but there is a creamy, buttery richness to this composition that could only be attributed to that. But it is the Patchouli that is the star here and in its present form is extremely seductive, sexy, and glamorous. I'm still finding it hard to believe that a note I normally dislike so much can be so beautiful. But from first spray to the silky end this was a head over heels love for me. I am so sad this gorgeous scent was discontinued. I am actually baffled by that.

I would never have picked Gucci Gucci myself. When a friend gave me a little gift set with lotion, shower gel and a small 5 ml sample, I sniffed it later at home and thought back about what I could have done to deserve this. Didn’t she like me anymore?? I decided that I would keep it only because it was a gift from this particular friend. Occasionally though, I would splash a little touch of it, more to get done with it than anything else. Sure enough, with time, I have come to love it, and how. I LOVE, love, love it. The initial burst of guava, honey, patchouli and musk smell super sexy to me. It has this sweet, smoky, sultriness to it that I adore. At the same time, it smells (and IS) expensive and classy. Later, when someone asked me what perfume I wanted as a gift, this was the one I wanted. So much for disliking it. But, and there is a but unfortunately, as is almost fated to happen with the fragrances we love most, it’s gone in the time it takes me to walk around my house! - Okay, it isn’t that bad, but one hour after layering lotion and fume, it’s all but gone. There's only the slightest, lightest hint of musk. I’m so so disappointed by this aspect. I’ll just have to get a small size and carry it around with me on days (or rather nights, since this is an evening fragrance) I choose to wear it. Does last longer when sprayed on clothes, but sillage is next to non-existent *sigh* Love it still. Would buy it again...and again.

Hmmm this is a hard one to describe. When I sprayed it today my initial impression was OMG that is some strong stuff. Gucci is known for good quality perfume that lasts. That is what I always love about Gucci. So I sprayed it on my arm in my bedroom. A tiny spritz and as I sit here the whole room is filled in this gorgeous aroma. Fresh and very clean. This is a heavy fragrance no fruitiness, no candy smell... it's all Gucci. I think my only reservation might be that the fragrance has a unisex smell to it and I tend to run from anything that is not totally feminine. This is the only think keeping me from falling head over heals for it. The bottle itself is indeed gorgeous, stout and very well made. Edited: I gave my nose a day of rest and sprayed Gucci Gucci on again. I must say that perhaps I did not give it a fair shake. This is a complex scent and I got on Macy's site and read the description. I think it's a fair description of the scent and as I wear it I am smelling more femininity. I'll continue to experiment and see where it goes. Edited about a week later: I have fallen in love with this perfume. Now that we are in Fall weather a true love affair is brewing. I have decided that I enjoy the mild unisex note this perfume carries. It's not masculine. The aroma is pleasant and warm and deep. A great perfume for the Fall and Winter months.
