Envy Me by Gucci

Fresh and perfect for everyday wear; smells like freshly cut grass with peony. Gives a sense of cleanliness and is ideal for heading to work mid-week.

Gucci Envy is an interesting fruity-floral with lots of pineapple and a less noticeable mango. It has a creamy touch from the lychee; the rose is there but shy. Some might find it cloying or synthetic, but I love it; it has personality. It reminds me of my adolescence, of Regina George with sticky lip gloss and monochromatic eyeshadow. It was born the same year as Mean Girls, so it makes sense.

It’s a bitter yet addictive scent. The strong pineapple notes are hooking, although I bought it because it smelled wonderful on my friend’s skin. On my skin, it smells different; it doesn’t embrace my skin as I’d like, just like with other perfumes. I have a strange love for this: I want it, but it’s not so sure about our relationship.

I smelled it today and fell in love; it’s a wonderful beauty, simple and without fuss. It lasts and performs well; it’s a rich blend of fruits with spicy touches. A delight.

I love it!! I feel mysterious, coquettish, and perhaps a bit talc-like. Every time I wear it, people ask what perfume I’m wearing, and the best part is that it lasts all day.

It’s an absolute madness of pink pepper! A floral-fruity blend, slightly acidic, sparkling and musky. It’s not my favourite and I wouldn’t place it at Gucci’s level (though with Guilty, who knows), but for this spring in my area it’s ideal and revitalising. It hints at summer with its exotic juices and cocktails. I wish the youth perfumes in my city (Playboy, Pachá, Mercadona…) had this fruit. It’s fresh and long-lasting; the tea and green notes give it vitality, while the woods add a touch of personality. It even smells of optimism, perfect for a Monday morning rush.

It doesn’t suit me much. They say it’s ‘addictive’ for men, but I don’t believe it. On my skin it leaves no trail and fades quickly, perhaps it’s just me. I see nothing special about it.

It was a gift. At first I hated the pineapple scent and kept it away for two years. One day I smelled it again and it was incredible. On my skin the roses and lychee developed beautifully. I adore perfumes that balance the pink pepper well.

To me it’s pure pineapple scent with a touch of fresh roses. It’s very pretty.

To me, it smells of pure pineapple with a touch of fresh roses; very lovely.

Lots of peony, casia and lychee, a touch of pink pepper… and in the background, a synthetic musk that I notice. For me, Gucci failed with this flanker; though it serves for daily wear with dignity. The bottle is very coquettish, so I perceive it on women. I find it similar to YSL’s Elle, even the bottle, although the latter is more woody.
