Eau de Toilette

Gucci by Gucci pour Homme Eau de Toilette is a men's fragrance that softens a citrus and aquatic freshness with floral and spicy notes; it has been discontinued. It opens with cypress, bergamot and violet, giving a citrusy, green freshness. Jasmine and tobacco in the heart add a floral, spicy touch. In the base, elemi resin, patchouli and amber settle the scent onto a woody, lightly sweet footing. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer close behind and winter chosen least. It leans towards business and daily wear, and works just as well for leisure. Most voters read it as masculine, though some call it modern or classic.

Eau de Parfum

Gucci Première Eau de Parfum is a feminine floral that opens with fresh, citrusy bergamot and orange blossom and carries on into white blossoms and leather. Bergamot and orange blossom come first, then white blossoms and musk settle in the heart. Woods and leather sit at the base, adding a faint leathery, woody shade to the floral core. The overall impression is fresh, sweet and powdery, with fruity and spicy touches staying in the background. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close and quiet. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions. It reads feminine. It has been discontinued. Banderas The Secret and La Rive Lady Diamond have a close profile.
