SOTD- Gucci "Envy Me 2"
I have never tried any Gucci fragrances before. When I saw it available on My Perfume Samples, I hastily included one in my order. Gucci "Envy Me 2" is described as, "floral with a leafy opening with a touch of wood. The heart is Ottoman rose and mauve heliotrope bouquet. The base is composed of woody notes of patchouli and sandalwood, softened by vanilla." Oh yes, I definitely detected the green, leafy scent. I am not a fan of woody/herbal type fragrances, but this scent is not overpowering, and is not so obvious on drydown. That's when the florals bloom into a powdery soft, fresh note. The dirtiness of patchouli and woodiness of sandalwood ground this perfume, but only in the subtlest of ways. I find it to be a perfume that could easily be an everyday fragrance. But, not for me. It's not a perfume that I would reach for, to be honest. Maybe it's the rose? I'm not sure, not terrible by any means, but just doesn't excite me.
