Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme

i remember when it first came out in 2008, i discovered this edt maybe one year later with a sample from a friend. at that time the reputation of gucci by gucci p.h. was "safe, generic, easy" and the main-eventer was the one by dolce and gabbana, all before the "decade of decadence" in the fragrance game started by bleu de chanel and completed by sauvage and its clones. i think gucci by gucci p.h. in 2019 deserves another reputation. considering the modern offering, this scent smells now more complex, interesting and very masculine. it opens with a fresh cypress and maybe vetiver, then a pleasant tobacco became the leader of the drydown, mixed with other woody notes. it is a very nice fragrance for a dinner in a restaurant with your gf, it is very romantic and smooth. i like the manly character inside this juice, nothing like the freshy-teeny-sweety fragrances of today. the performance is the main downside of this scent, the projection and longevity are slightly below average. it is the same category of ch men prive, very valentino or lanvin avant garde(maybe theese have a better performance, not so much..). so i recommend this scent for close enviroments and nightout, but also for work because it is inoffensive. for fall and spring, for 25 and up. a friend of mine says it is discontinued, i dont know if it is true but is still easy available in stores. i found a tester for a super-cheap price. i have the renamed bottle and personally dont find big differences with the orignal gucci by gucci. in the overall, this fragrances is not the masterpiece for the ages but is too underrated and deserves more attention. in the current market we need edt like this. un profumo che forse non rivoluziona le vostre vite ma è decisamente piacevole, molto maschile e più complesso rispetto a tanta roba banale in giro attualmente. scent-8,5 long-6 sillage-5 versatility-8 uniqueness-8 bottle-7,5 compliment factor-7 rebuy?no my vote-8 in one word- overlooked alternative- d g the one edt

Quality: 4.5 out of 5 – It’s a beautiful, high quality scent. For me, it borders on a masterpiece. I LOVE it. The magic happens after it’s been on me for 3 hours. Originality: 4 out of 5 – It’s very original yet triggers a scent memory in me of Jimmy Choo Man. I have both, yet prefer this. Projection (Sillage): 3 out of 5 – moderate; Only people in your near vicinity can smell your scent, unless you’ve just sprayed it. Longevity: 3 out of 5 – moderate; 5~6 hours Versatility: 4 out of 5 – This scent is very versatile; it works well for day/night, autumn/winter, office-based work/formal occasions and for men over 25. Value: 4 out of 5 – currently £49 for 90ml. It’s about the going rate for a fragrance of this quality. I love it enough to pay this but if it’s on sale, great! Compliment Frequency: 2 out of 5 – Nobody moves away but I don’t get compliments on it either. To put some perspective on this, I’m wearing it now and haven’t had a single compliment on it over the whole day. A guy walks into my room wearing Creed Aventus and 2 people complimented his within 2 minutes! Yes, it’s a hugely different fragrance but what the hell?! :) Packaging (Bottling): 4 out of 5 – Much thought seems to have gone into the packaging; it’s attractive and highly functional. Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5 – Great – This fragrance does just about everything you could ever want from a fragrance of its type (meaning it’s good enough for a lack of projection, longevity and compliment frequency to ignore). There aren’t any significant problems with the fragrance, I love it but not everyone’s nose/skin is the same so you may not be left in complete awe. Not ground-breaking but has the potential to become a classic and should be considered a staple for collectors. Recommendation: Not everyone loves everyone’s taste so try before you buy but otherwise to me, it’s so good it’s worth blind buying!

Why aren't tobacco perfumes made that way? Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme a combination of tobacco, violet and cypress, unique, memorable is a legacy that Aurelian Guichard leaves behind, another masterpiece of the house, undeservedly thrown into the shadows. Gucci by Gucci is a brilliant perfume that has unfortunately been forgotten. I say this because it is unique, a piece of classic and modern art at the same time with a note of fresh aromatic tobacco, slightly smoked... a little hint of darkness. The novelty of this creation comes through the introduction of the Violet and Cypress instead of the sweet or gourmand notes we are used to, transforming the perfume into something green, ozonic and crisp. It makes me think of the air you breathe into the forest after a heavy rain. It has a romantic vibe, it is tailored by a hand that knows very well how to bring delicacy in a perfume into the same place with elegance and masculinity. A classic italian DNA. The notes may not say much, but the story is what matters. This perfume deserves a sequel that unfortunately I have not found elsewhere. Performance is typical eau de toilette. On the skin last quite a bit, maybe a few hours due to the reformulations instead I recommend it to be sprayed on clothes. Sillage and projection average. This fragrance requires to be used in autumn and spring on cold temperatures, being quite versatile. Pair it with a shirt, a sweater or a leather jacket. Gucci by Gucci must be placed alongside the other sacred monsters of the house, Pour Homme, Envy and Rush. It deserves its place in the category of the most successful perfumes, both by its unique factor given by the combination of notes and by the smell. Gucii's souvenir chest would otherwise be much poorer.

Gucci by Gucci I'll start by saying that it's been in my top 5 for six years and it looks like it will be in my top 5 for life. I think they made an excellent choice with James Franco as the advertising image, the warmth of his gaze defines the essence of gucci by gucci. All in agreement with its sillage, I deduce that it is extremely "intimate", for personal enjoyment and for those people who enjoy our extreme confidence, so much so to allow them to get close to our neck or chest and feel it in its maximum splendor. Its aroma gives me a certain serenity, when I have insomnia, I apply a little on my wrist and immediately feel calm, maybe it is the incense note and/or its balsamic accord. Yes it is true; very Italian scent, elegant and seductive, for formal and evening wear. Easily the signature fragrance for a gentleman. With one of the best opening I've ever felt, in one word, "perfect". It smells great, too bad it fades so fast, To my personal taste one of the 5 best tobacco notes I've tried, (pure havane, versace man, gucci envy & michael by Michael kors). Also I perceive a small "bitter" and woody hint which fascinates me a lot. The bottle is already in the major leagues of design, perfect for collection even if you don't like the contents. I pray that someday a "parfum or intense" version will be released, the one that came out in 2015, "Gucci pour Homme" with the silver lined box, failed to repair the "defect" of the sillage. Gucci by Gucci, my respect and admiration, we all have plenty of reasons to criticize its performance, but few of us doubt the quality of its scent, its essence and its impact on perfumery. "Runs with me until the end”

Growing up we all have heard of Gucci, probably one of the most well known designers on earth. When I started my search into the fragrance community I had to own Gucci, I couldnt care less about how it smelled, I just had to own Gucci. So my first fragrance I bought when I got into the community, was Gucci Pour Homme. The Good: The good is all in the smell, 100% nothing about the smell do I hate. It's warm and spicy with a good amount of tobacco. You don't smell like a chain smoker when smelling this but the Tobacco is just enough to enjoy. I honestly had a hard time pinpointing certain notes in the note pyramid except for Tobacco. As someone who does Leather crafting as a hobby I found no hints of leather. This isn't to say the smell is bad(it is perfect) I just cant pin point some notes that are supposed to be in here. Finally the bottle, it's just such a dope looking bottle with the weird pin like thing on top, I love it. The Bad: The biggest shortcoming is the longevity and projection. It turns into a skin scent like 2 hours in. Yes the smell is amazing but this just makes me so sad. An amazing scent that is fantastic but turns into a skin scent in no time. Conclusion: Honestly one of the best scents in my collection, if it wasn't for the terrible projection and Longevity. The fragrance is pretty cheap on most websites and I got me 2019 batch online for like $40.
