Description

The tiare note is really strong at first, it smells warm and creamily floral like monoi oil, but with a dirty patchouli underneath. The patch reminds me of the original Mugler Angel, but the rest of scent is different and quite unique. The overall feeling of the fragrance is tropical to my nose, but the notes shift in and out. Sometimes I smell sweaty patch, sometimes sexy warm skin, sometimes a clean honey-shampoo, sometimes fruitiness. Even after several tries I‘m not 100% sure what to make of it - It can be warm and sensual, but then a scratchy note emerges that really ruins it for me, something artificially clean. Gucci by Gucci is a perfect mix of comfortable, slightly dark, grown up, confident and cozy. The image I get is of a woman in a designer outfit dressed to impress and knowing what she wants. She is rich and she is not afraid to show it. Gucci smells very expensive and chic to me. And this is a bit strange because the composition does not strike me as overly complex or refined for that matter but yet it smells expensive and lavish. 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’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. If its discontinued there are some "similar" (in some cases better) options: fancy nights by jessica simpson, prada amber pour femme, Indigo by l'erbolario..

I tended to hate patchouli as a main component in most perfumes, as it tends to give a very dirty earthy vibe which reminds me too much of wet foliage for some reason. Even when blended with fruits or florals, it’s easy to become completely overwhelmed by the herbal-ness quality that I’ve often find myself a little queasy. And again.. Rachel is beautiful on this ad.. but I totally prefer her on the Chloè ad.. maybe she's the same diva.. she wears Chloè Love for the day.. then changes her outfit for a sexy golden one and spritz this Gucci for night.. but sorry.. doesn't transmit that 'narcotic' vibe thats on the commercial (and yes.. Im looking again to Lynch and his ad for Opium de YSL.. that was sooooo transportative en evocative, the good old days)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. 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. I finished work on Thursday and decided to take a look at the fragrance section before leaving for home. (Believe it or not, I do not do this every day! Haha) But this is the mother-ship of that idiom! ... the one that sets the bar. I loved it instantly the first time I tried it ... I can't remember exactly how long ago - but a fair while; and even now I can't fathom what it is that it smells like; it just is what it is - it smells like Gucci Gucci& gorgeous& inscrutible, and that's about all that can be said, really - it's such a beautifully integrated whole - sufficient unto itself! It's a heavy (probably because of that patchouli and white floral tiare flower) womanly scent that's kind of reminiscent of "Ricci Ricci" (not scent-wise at all), and the added sweet, luscious honey makes me think of a wealthy aunt who gives bear hugs and loans her over-the-top jewelry.

This is not the case with Gucci, as that “wet plant” quality seems to have been noticeably curbed, the patch here feels lush and opulent. It maintains a dark and boozy personality throughout; while the honey adds to the warmth of this fragrance, the patchouli stays cold and mysterious. Guava and pear top notes are subtle and are quietly overshadowed by the tiare flower which gives this fragrance a very tropical floral accord. Sillage and longevity are very good on me and I absolutely love the dry down, it smells like wealth, power, and seduction…this is confidence in a bottle. I love this frag because in my opinion it perfectly balances the aggressiveness of patchouli with all the other sweet notes: it's a women's scent, but it does never get too feminine.

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. The bottle is the reason I've put off trying this. The first time, I only sniffed the bottle rather than spray directly on my skin. The bottle is too intimidatingly classy -- felt like a twelve-year old wearing Chanel Coco. I finally went to Shoppers to enjoy browsing in peace. BS's (hehehe) "Believe" is a green, heavy, guava-and-earthy patchouli scent. "Gucci" is the same - just heavier with some honey. And of course the gorgeous bottle and advertisement can't go unnoticed. This fragrance really evokes a distant luxury, a modernist vibe from the '70s perhaps. Not very romantic or glamorous, but still quite elegant and... natural. More Farrah Fawcett than Doris Day :-) 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 is Java Patchouli, which is prized for its sleek wood notes. If this is the type of patchouli used here that could explain the beautiful wood notes I'm smelling.
