I bought my first bottle in summer of ‘07, which was the most magical year of my life up to that point (got my first “grownup” job, had worked hard to get the best body of my life, and met the stunning woman who is now my wife and best friend).

But this would not be listed as a gourmand, it doesn't smell like a cup of tea that you would drink, but rather an aroma that keeps reminding you the feeling of holding a hot cup of tea.

GPHII lacks the spiciness of HiM which makes it more suitable for the warm weather, but that by no means it cannot kick asses in the winter.Ad hominem" attacks reduce one to looking like a petulant child, regardless of one's choice of flowery prose. Perfect trifecta of fresh blue/violet, spice, and tobacco/tea that combine into a singularly transcendent experience. The bottle I purchased nearly a decade ago has a more prominent green/ozonic opening note when first sprayed.

Smelled spicy but fresh with some green violet, not fruity or oud-esque,nor ambroxan loaded like everything we can smell today all the way. To put some perspective on this, I’m wearing it now and haven’t had a single compliment on it over the whole day. Is that because there’s a human tendency to elevate what is more difficult to obtain, or can’t be obtained at all? What sets this fragrance apart is its perfect balance – it's neither too overpowering nor too subtle, making it suitable for various occasions. With its warm, intense scent, Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme speaks to the powerful, sensual man who embodies the brand's rich legacy.I’m don’t catch the citrus in the opening but a hint of violet maybe, then it turns smooth green immediately and stays that way for the duration.

But i remember clearly some years ago (it was 2013) i had to voice my appreciation when i smelled this on a man sitting in front of me at a dinner. Nice smoky/clean scent that won't make you win a Nobel prize for originality (actually, no fragrance will) but will make you smell good which I guess is our main objective when we purchase any fragrance.darian_sparks If i remember correctly, the demise of some of the most amazing fragrances ever created (GPH II, GPH (2003), Envy, Rush) was the decision of Frida Giannini. com perfumes magazine - All Rights Reserved - do not copy anything without prior written permission. What both utterly confounds me and ticks me off about the poor performance is that if you take a look at the note breakdown, this fragrance is primarily made up of otherwise STRONG scents (Tobacco, Cypress, Violet, Patchouli, Leather, Resin)?

BTW, I am the proud owner of THREE bottles of this stupendous stuff (have owned 5 total), and they're not going anywhere! The face for the Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme commercial will be James Franco, and it will be directed by Jan Wentz. For example, Marc Jacobs Daisy (og) and to a lesser extent, RL “Ralph,” have a somewhat similar overall feel/vibe in the air, though they might be a bit overtly feminine for the average guy to wear. I have two bottles of it, I like it that much, I just wish I didn't need to take an atomiser with me whenever I choose to wear it.to 5 minutes after application the tobbaco start to settle and start to smell sweet and musky without smelling wet. Another is women’s DG Light Blue (og or intense), which is a lovely, perfectly unisex frag in the same postal code as GPH II, primarily the top (no warm cinnamon base; though there is something in the base that adds a degree of warmth). Zesty wood because of the bergamot, pine-y because of the cypress and the tabacco makes it gentleman like. Comes up very clean and fresh in starting but with in mins it starts getting rusted then when it vanishes no one knows but thanks god it vanishes or you will smell like a wet ash tray with rotten ciggerate buds !
