Gucci Premiere

This is such a sparkling fragrance. From first spray to that floral musky blackberry dry down, is so effervescent. Just like Champagne. I wasn’t so sure about how all the notes would work in this, but I loved that fizzy quality right away. It starts out a little bit fruity with the blackberry and bergamot prominent but then turns into soft florals that gets musky as it dries down. At this point the fruity notes have subsided somewhat and the florals come into focus. I swear, besides the orange blossom I also smell mock orange here. I grow 3 varieties of mock orange, so I know that scent. So beautiful! Then the wood joins in, but it’s very light and soft. This is not a sweet scent as in added sugar, but is naturally sweet from the florals and fruit, which the musk nicely balances out. It’s so clean and fresh and elegant in its simplicity. I've come to love blackberry in some fragrances. I love it in Bvlgari Goldea, and I love it here. Silage is great. I just sprayed one wrist to test and can smell it clearly around me. I can’t attest to the longevity but it’s still going strong four hours after first application, so that’s a big plus too. I’m sure I’ll smell it for more. I’m so happy to own this truly beautiful scent.

There's so much hate for this fragrance...but honestly, what are you people expecting? It's GUCCI....since when is Gucci high class enough to be held up to couture standards? Gucci has always been poor man's Chanel, so I don't understand why everyone is criticizing this so harshly. I love this fragrance, because it does orange blossom right. I have no idea why everyone marvels over fragrances like Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino, which reeks of overly sweet, waxy neroli-accords that smell just like fruity pebbles. This fragrances takes some really basic, overdone notes, and presents them in a fresh, glowing, incandescent way that is simply beautiful. The leather isn't too strong, which is good, because it lets the floral/bergamot mixture take control for the majority of the seven-ish hours this fragrance lasts on me. Incredibly long for a Gucci fragrance. This is tangy, fizzy, sparkling, and alluring, while also being versatile and stately enough for everyday-wear. The bottle is gorgeous, but the gold color is just a cheap coating of paint that chips off at the drop of a hat. It's a great perfume, but I deeply regret paying full price for it.

Trialled this one today, from the blotter it smelled luxurious, soft but comforting. I'm not a fan of citrus smells at all, preferring not to smell of dishwashing liquid, but this was a soft unoffensive citrus. I walked around with the blotter for a while and grew steadily in love. I circled back and skin tested. Still in love. To me its a beautiful unoffensive summer scent, and that's exactly what is missing from my collection. I wore Premiere for the day and ran back to the store just before closing to purchase a bottle. I got a 75ml bottle and scored a free bottle of the 30ml! Very pleased. I can still smell it and its been 8 hours now. For me a perfume has to be unique and hard for people around me to identify. I don't generally like mainstream perfumes but this one is high price enough to weed out the masses. For me it is worth the price of this bottle to be one of the few wearing it. It also has to be unoffensive and have a moderate-to-intimate sillage as I work in a hospital in close contact with people. This ticks all the right boxes for me and still smells devine.

This perfume is the first every sexy scent I've ever enjoyed, its not overpowering or musky, something you'd be comfortable wearing around town but also on a fancy date. It has a tangy orange note that softens the white floral note, it is also creamy and woody, a very relaxing but energizing scent. I like to put this on before bed and enjoy it as I fall asleep, when I wake up I can still smell it on me but only on my skin. The dry down is honestly the best part of this fragrance it melds with my skin in such a beautiful way. This has overtaken my old perfume that I've used for years as my new signature scent, unfortunately I only discovered this perfume after its been discontinued but ebay had some so I got myself a small bottle, this is now my favorite perfume in my collection if your thinking about trying it its diffidently worth trying if your debating it.

I really like Gucci Premiere. This type of fragrance just works well with my chemistry. I do find it heavy however it would be a great daytime perfume for work. Premiere is a hard one to find words for - I guess rich and elegant might sum it up. I read the reviews below about poor lasting power but honestly I am sitting here with my small tester of Gucci Premiere on my left arm and testing Gucci by Gucci on my right and wowza seems to be lasting on me. So I keep snffing each arm and while both are slightly similar premiere is the more feminine of the two. I am still on the fence with Gucci Gucci. I definitely would purchase a full bottle of Premiere and wear it in confidence. If anyone has a full bottle and wanted to swap for a full size new 2.5 of ladies Gucci by Gucci let me know
