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.

GUCCI BY GUCCI edp.. Another perfume that is slowly bidding us goodbye, slowly making its exit, fading away. In my country, it is EXTREMELY difficult to find it , searched every mall and every perfume counter, the salespersons would shake their heads at me "no, we dont have that here anymore". It is a rare item, you'd have to risk ordering online on Gucci website, which is not an option for me at all. One day i got lucky, found a miniature bottle of this in a secluded perfume shop and i was over the moon. It's deep, mysterious and mature scent. Not exactly sexy or seductive. I cant imagine young girls wearing this scent to college. I wont use this for datenights either but definitely yes when im in a presentation at work with grim hard-to-please bosses , put on my most persuasive smile, some twinkles in my eyes , strut my confidence around the room, drowning them with my GUCCI BY GUCCI EDP. . To me, oddly enough, GUCCI OUD and GUCCI BY GUCCI EDP smell alike. They could be sisters..? I know if one miserable day i cant find Gucci by Gucci anywhere else anymore, i can always pick up Gucci Oud to replace it and blow out my sorrows. What do you think? They DO smell alike , right..? tell me what you think. Please.

Gucci by Gucci is my choice "going out" scent for the incredibly boozey quality it has haha. Firstly, the bottle looks like one of those vintage heavy crystal liquor decanters. And the scent...usually at first spray I always let the alcohol evaporate before I take the first sniff, with this one the alcohol compliments the experience and I feel like I am smelling a real Jamaican rum cocktail in front of me. The start is juicy, sweet and sharp. It settles down and is still boozy, but the juicy pear goes away. The pairing of honey and patchouli sounds like something that could be heavy but it is simply a lovely pairing here. It is sweet but dark and a bit smokey too. Despite these two heavy notes, the fragrance is not at all heavy on me . My only complaint is that it stays very close to the skin, I am a modest sprayer so I don't mind much but I can imagine this being a deal breaker for some who enjoy strong sillage. oh yes and the video ad... the ladies and their hair and makeup, the sleek 70s dresses, the luxe decor, Blondie, Lynch... there are so many things I love about the campaign as corny as it is

I got a 3ml decant of this from a website and tried it on. My husband walked up to me and said... "You smell amazing, almost like sex, or the possibility of.".... YES! That is DEFINITELY how I feel wearing it! SCORE! Love this perfume! I was looking for something sweet, hint of musk, dark, and the possibility of "kink". Something that would be fitting for 50 Shades of Gray if you know what I mean! ;) It starts of very boozy like you have been getting nice and intoxicated and ready to loose your inhibitions. Then it settles and that sweet honey comes out spiraling with the musk and fruits. Its a beautiful combination. So feminine. So sexy. So captivating. The scent of a woman who is empowered and confident. It doesn't smell "older" like a lot of musk scents do. Perfect for ladies who are in their mid 20s-30s and coming into their own and not afraid to flaunt it! I hate I am falling in love with it now that it is being discontinued, but I got a couple bottle on Overstock so hopefully that will last me a while. This will DEFINITELY be a date night/ going out on the town scent!

I don't find this to be a fragrance for 30+ as others have said, though it wouldn't be appropriate for a teenager. This frangrrence says "Hello! I am a confident and sexy woman. I know what I want in life, and exactly how to obtain in it." To me the Gucci by Gucci woman is sophisticated but wild. Men are driven crazy by her, women admire her. She is ambitious and confident. When I picture her I see a young 25-35) successful, and strikingly radiant career woman - the one all the men ogle at, the reason why the company must hold sexual harassment lectures. But she is so much more than just a pretty face; she is clever and witty. She is driven and passionate. On first spray, i find Gucci by Gucci a bit harsh and cloying. However, after ten minutes this settles into this beautiful, warm, sweet and sensuous aroma. This fragrance just melts so well into my skin. It becomes musky, but not your grandmother's musky, but rather sexual creature kind of musky. It has the same sophistication as a Gucci bag from the classic line. Really quite lovely.

After falling head over heels in love with the EDT version of this perfume I had to buy the EDP version also. The EDT is fantastic for during the day but the relatively weak lasting power made it difficult to wear on nights out without having to carry the entire bottle around with me. So when I got my bottle of the EDP in the mail I was very excited to try wearing it out. You can tell right off the bat that they are directly related; the initial patchouli opening coming in strong but then softened by the sweetness of the guava and honey... But the EDP version has a much deeper, smokier almost, honey note. The patchouli stays warm and snuggly for much longer, also. Very warm, dark, and seductive. Lasted much longer on my skin than the EDT. Looks like I'm set for day and progressing into night without having to drastically change smells. Both are classy, elegant and sophisitcated but this is definately the older sister of the pair, who spends her nights on the town surrounded by admirers.

The opening notes of patchouli reminded me a lot of Midnight Poison, and this nostalgia is the primary reason why I got Gucci by Gucci. Of course, patchouli is really the only thing these two share together but it's still better than nothing. Either way, Gucci comes with a powerful burst of patchouli which later reveals a beautiful cool toned, almost icy tiare flower scent which starts dominating the overall composition. The dry down adds a very delicate honey and white flower base with some remnants of patchouli. As for pear and guava, unfortunately I didn't seem to notice them no matter how much I'd spray on. The scent is still gorgeous, refreshing and quite unique. It would be really interesting to see whether it'll perform great during warmer days. Gucci by Gucci left a pretty decent trail but I wish it was somewhat more long lasting because the scent is so fantastic that you'd want it around you for longer.

What do you know...this is the perfume I sometimes have smelled on other women,thinking... Mmmm - I wonder what ́s she is wearing ? By accident I found it ! Without knowing the notes I tried it and fell in love too. The opening notes made me think of Strawberry pie, but that was. - Guava and Pear....... ok ? The lovely tiare is simply gorgeous, sweet but calm. not a screamy note anywere the base is lovely too . I usually dont like honey rather than eating it, but mixed with patchoulie and musk irs wonderful ! The subtle scent makes me think óf Elle Intense. but this is still different. Another frag it made me think of in the beginnning -are - Prada tendre. This is a VERY well made perfume, to me for both day and night. Dont be scared of by the dark and a bit old fashioned bottle... This is a dream come true - for .... - a perfumista like myself !!! Now - I am impressed by Gucci !

WANNA CUDDLE? ______________________________________________________ I fell in love with Gucci's Rush some time ago and went to the store to purchase it. The saleswoman was somehow impressed of my knowledge of Gucci fragrances. She asked if I knew 'Gucci by Gucci'; since I didn't, she introduced me to it and it changed me. Rarely did a fragrance catch me with guard down - but "Gucci by Gucci", just like its male counterpart, did. It somehow resembles a big soft hug from the rich aunt on Christmas Eve. It's soft and inviting, it's very present, but not obnoxious. It reminded me of cold winter evenings, spent with a loved one in front of the fire place. The honey and musk notes fortify the core of this fragrance, patchouli, making it by far one of the best patchouli fragrances out there. Longevity: - 9/10 Sillage: - 10/10 All in all: 10 out of 10 points

Absolutely beautiful fragrance. This was my mother's signature fragrance when I was a child, and I vividly remember when it was being discontinued, and we went around every perfume shop and department store in the area to purchase every last bottle we could find so she had a stockpile for a couple of years. My mum passed in March and I picked up a couple of minis off Ebay to smell for the memories, and gosh, not only is it so nostalgic to me, but it is just a gorgeous, warm, sticky, deep syrupy fragrance. My mum was a fruitchouli woman through and through and this is an incredible fruit and patchouli combo with lashings of honey. I wish Gucci did not discontinue this, not only does it smell incredible, it also performs great. Safe to say the mini-memory-bottles will not suffice and I hope to purchase a full bottle, or two, of this one day.

This legendary one time beauty was inexplicably discontinued a few years ago. Found a genuine bottle from 2018, but alas, it's an incredibly watered down reformulation. A shadow of its former self. This used to be a thick and heavy room filler with just a single spray, and it would last for ages. This version lasts one hour, two hours tops, and even grossly overspraying won't help. No, it's not my memory, nor is it my nose. Just read the reviews below. Many are experiencing the same thing. Those with great performance are the people with vintage bottles. Fruity, honeyed patchouli that is to die for. Well, at least it was, once upon a time. THE most intoxicating, most glamorous and sexiest scent I have ever smelled on a woman. Requiescat In Pace. SHAME ON YOU, GUCCI! *shakes fist*

Much like Gabricookies, I don't detect honey at all- and given that honey notes are the sheer killer of any perfume for me, thats saying something. I get a strong patchouli at first, but not the old boho hippie vibe that some have. This is a very refined elegant note followed and matched with a floral note and slight fruit at the end. I didn't think I would like this when seeing the notes, but I got a bottle in a swap and its fast becoming a favorite. I had a bit of worry about whether the "maturity" of this would end up smelling like a granny,but this mellows into more of an incense vibe. It lasts forever on me, and even many hours later I will catch a whiff even when it should have long gone silent to my nose.

I love love love this perfume, its addictive, its my all time favorite go to perfume every day - I never tire of it - its sweet yet dark maybe even slightly spicy, its intriguing and alluring. Its a gorgeous balance between the patchouli/musk and honey/pear - I don't get any floral from it and its not so heavy to give me a sore head (so many perfumes do). Its not a 'young fun' fragrance its warm, sophisticated, unique, amazing. I keep reading that its being discontinued - its hard to get in stores but I can still find it online so will stock up and hope to find something else I love in case they do discontinue it. I'd like to say its underrated - but then I wouldn't want everyone to discover it!

So upset that this was discontinued, it is by far the best fragrance to ever come from the house of Gucci, with incidentally their best ever packaging. The opening is a hit of unadulterated, juicy guava, then it quickly transitions to a carnal, musky, deep scent, reminiscent of NR For Her but much sexier - luscious and dripping with honey. The fruits are subtle, which is exactly how I like my fruits; the patchouli is deep and earthy, and beautifully blended; the honey is sensual and inviting. There is the slightest hint of second hand tobacco that lingers after a decadent night out. This is dark glamour in a bottle, a very voluptuous scent, warm, sultry and oozing confidence.

This is the only "unisex" perfume I love! It smells so pleasant and different. Some users wrote that it reminds them of a glamourous hippie and indeed I look like one wearing this perfume: a dark leather jacket, a chic white blouse, nice pair of blue jeans and leather shoes, with some silver earrings, watch and bracelet, a dark nail polish and wavy and long dark hair. Simple and chic. It is the perfect autumn fragrance to me and still holds a special place in my heart. Bought it around 2012 when I was a student, travelling a lot, enjoying and romanticizing life. It also gave me the image of the free spirited, optimistic, bold and beautiful woman I wanted to become.

I used it a long time ago, although it is no longer produced, I found it somewhere and bought it. It opens with guava and pear. I feel a very intense sharpness and sourness at the opening, the perfume turns into a beautiful and sophisticated honey scent as it stays on the skin. With patchouli, the perfume gets rid of being too sweet. Frankly, I don't like the opening because I get a sour/metallic feel, but then it turns into a really nice smell. It's a unique scent for me. It is neither too fruity nor too sweet nor too woody. I like it more in winter, but it can be used in summer evenings by paying attention to the number of sprays.
