  It tastes like first-class liquor, sweet but intoxicating… pity it’s no longer sold, but if you can get it, take it; it won’t disappoint. 100% unisex.

  Could this be the most beautiful perfume bottle I’ve ever seen? Those were the days when buying luxury perfume was worth it. Everything recalls those ultra-sophisticated American seventies that Tom Ford recreated at Gucci. The heavy glass, like an expensive ashtray or hedonistic liquor bottles, reminiscent of Halston, Peretti, and the androgyny of Betty Catroux, with an amber liquid inside. The male version of the time didn’t lag behind; equally luxurious, sexy, and sober. I tried it once and remember an aged-sweetness brandy, fortified, with that final sandalwood touch typical of Ford. By the way, after dismissing Fachinetti and his cheap fragrances, Alessandro Michele is rising strongly at Gucci, and I fear the worst, that his vision will eventually filter through. For those who don’t know where he’s heading: Wes Anderson films, hollow-headed kitsch with tiger costumes, and bottle vintage. Holy Mary…

  Could this be the most beautiful perfume bottle I’ve ever seen? Those were the days when buying luxury perfume was worth it. Everything recalls the ultra-sophisticated American seventies that Tom Ford recreated at Gucci. The heavy glass bottle, like an expensive ashtray from the era or hedonistic liquor decanters, reminiscent of Halston, Peretti, and the sophisticated androgyny of Betty Catroux. Suddenly, an amber liquid enclosed in a block of glass. The male version of the time didn’t lag behind; it was equally luxurious, sexy, and sober. I only tried it once, but I remember an aged-sweetness brandy, fortified, with that final sandalwood touch typical of Ford’s perfumery. By the way, after getting rid of Fachinetti and his cheap fragrances, Alessandro Michele is rising strongly at Gucci, and I fear the worst, as his vision will inevitably filter into perfumery sooner or later. For those who don’t know where he’s heading: Wes Anderson films, hollow-headed kitsch with tiger costumes, and bottle vintage. Holy Mary…

  I’ve been using it for two days and can now share my thoughts. Gucci Eau de Parfum is rare and beautiful. It’s rare because it stood out when it was launched, and beautiful because it masterfully modernises Guerlain-style orientals. It deserves its fame. In the Ford era, Gucci made hedonistic, sexy, seductive perfumes that didn’t ask permission to overwhelm you. They all had a certain ‘oriental’ quality with a European filter and that Ford sandalwood/incense touch. The surprise when testing it on my skin: it’s not sumptuous or intoxicating, nor modern as one might expect. It leans more towards classics like Shalimar, Habanita, Habit Rouge, or Joya de Myrurgia. It’s talc-like, hazy, interwar style, deliberately old-fashioned. It contrasts with the bottle, a gem: a seventies-style heavy, uncomfortable glass square that encloses the intoxicating liquid like a magic potion. The cap is circular and weighs half a kilo on its own; it could be used as a throwing weapon. It opens as a fresher version of those classics, with a contemporary touch but openly classical. As the intensity fades, I compare it to Shalimar Parfum Initial or Habit Rouge. Suddenly, without warning, a sweaty note emerges: imagine a powdered animal feather, sharp sparkles, leather left by the hand of God, a mouse-like touch, like a dusty birdcage with cumin and thyme. These might seem like unpleasant notes, but they aren’t. The leather, cited as a main note, is barely noticeable. Neither is the vanilla-heliotrope nor the vanilla on its own. No trace of incense or iris. It’s a crowd where none stand out, a greyish horde, talc-like and strangely refreshing. At first, it’s flat, but interesting when worn. It doesn’t fit the sexual exuberance of the Ford years, nor the perfumery of the time (fruity florals, androgynous orientals, clean waters). Would I recommend it? Never blindly, only to lovers of ‘old-school’ perfumes like Shalimar or Habanita. EDIT: After testing it more, I notice the vanilla and vanilla-heliotrope in all their glory during the dry-down and final phase. Do you know that smell of fresh baby saliva or a small child’s sweat, musky with a hint of bitter vanilla? The dry-down of Gucci Eau de Parfum has it and it lasts for ages. It’s dry heliotrope and vanilla-heliotrope, with a spicy-sweet aftertaste that chills you to the bone. Last week, I smelled my wrist three hours later and it seemed to embrace a healthy baby who woke up sweaty and grumpy after a July nap. Another perfume that recalls fresh, healthy saliva, alongside Eau de Lancaster, Solo Loewe, and Odeur 53. EDIT II: After several occasions, I reaffirm: it’s a wonder, no longer made like this. Simply masterful. It seems expensive, smells expensive, and indeed, it is very expensive. When you paid for every penny you spent.

  I love this perfume! It lasts for hours. The bottle captivated me with its linear simplicity, and the glass is a marvel. I’m a man, and the scent evolves on me exceptionally well. Gucci Eau de Parfum. What a pity it’s discontinued… It smells wonderfully distinguished.

  I have a 75ml bottle of this Gucci Eau de Parfum at a good price. It’s discontinued and hard to find; if anyone is interested, please message me privately. Cheers.

  It feels like a bite; it’s a classic on par with Guerlain’s Shalimar. They no longer manufacture it, but the scent is unique. Everyone asks what you’re wearing. It’s very creamy, honey-like. Lots of sandalwood. Highly recommended for cold winter nights, like having a drink by the fire.

  I absolutely adore it; it’s a classic on par with Guerlain’s Shalimar. Although it’s no longer in production, the scent is unique and unparalleled. Everyone asks what you’re wearing. It’s very creamy and toffee-like, with lots of sandalwood. Ideal for cold winter nights, like having a drink by the fire.

  A very earthy oriental delight. Where vanilla reigns as the absolute protagonist before ceding the throne to sandalwood and incense. Very warm, spiced, with an elegant and powdery trail, very good longevity. The bottle is apt and aesthetic with refined lines, also quite heavy. It is a wonderful perfume, extremely sensual, and of enchanting fragrance.

  Midnight Enchantment. I used it for Halloween three days ago and received many compliments; I think it was interesting to use it on that date where its dark, magnetic, and mysterious side amplifies under the moon. Gucci Eau de Parfum opens with a sweet note of caraway and vanilla. But it is the leather facet, incense, subtle sandalwood, musk, and resins that differentiate it. In fact, I think if they had added many white florals, it could approach 90s perfumes. Opting for Heliotrope (which predominates), iris, and orange blossom (more subtle) was a better choice. A medium aniseed, medium herbal aroma, with a subtle leather graduated between heliotrope flowers and a soft sandalwood with incense (calm, without standing out but contributing). I add that, although not listed, I sense a note of dark plum that gives it an intoxicating and mystical character, joined by a musk that touches the animalistic. The notes are in just the right dose; the good thing is that they articulate without one taking the scene. It is a pity it is discontinued; what a pleasure it was to perfume oneself with Gucci in the era of Tom Ford. Perhaps these little jewels preferred to die for the market and only be obtained in their original version.

  I received and tested it today, and I was shocked… It’s nothing like I expected. Nothing like Bamboo, Guilty, by Gucci, or even Guilty Absolute for men… It has an interesting darkness, a nearly narcotic balsamic sweetness, a potent vanilla sweetness, and a significant musk level (it reminds me of the sweet musk of L’Interdit, not that they are the same, but that type of accord). All that combined produces, in my opinion, a mixture that is too sweet to be so dark and too musky; it repels me, it saturates… I can’t perceive leather or sophistication because it doesn’t last more than two seconds on the blotter. I’ll try it again tomorrow to see if I dare put it on skin and body heat improves it. But this is a bomb… and not the kind I like…

  Okay, to my surprise, on skin it is another world. I applied it five minutes ago and it already smells much better; the powder looks cleaner, like a soap, and the sweetness has moderated to accompany the herbal/floral touch without overwhelming. Suddenly, I think of Aura by Mugler, but less medicinal, more floral, and with that sweeter talc. How interesting! I hope the hours will be kinder to it, hehehe. It has stayed this way, with that strange resemblance to Aura… Yesterday I would have sold it, but today I think I might like it… I am still exploring…

All together makes a mixture too sweet to be so dark and talcy; it repels me, it saturates… I cannot perceive leather or sophistication because it does not last more than two seconds on the blotter. I will try it again tomorrow to see if body heat softens it. But this is a bomb… and not the kind I like…

  I gifted this perfume to my mother when she had just come out of the oven (2020), right when I placed it in the window of my regular perfumery. It was October, and I remember giving her the gift with my sister; she put it on, and the living room filled with that scent. Wonderful aroma of Damascus rose wrapped in precious woods. It has been discontinued for years. A supremely elegant perfume, with caché, for afternoons and evenings. The kind that leaves a mark. It had a square bottle with a round glass cap, very heavy, serving as a paperweight. An extraordinary perfume in every sense.

  One of the best fragrances by Gucci, and what a shame they discontinued it. I loved the bottle, the intense colour, and the longevity. Its aroma was delicious, as if they had dressed a doll in top-quality leather and then perfumed it. A smoked leather, spiced, floral, and very sweet, with a morning vanilla, like vanilla-plastic doll.

  I parted with it in an exchange along with Gucci Bloom Parfum di fiori to make way for Beloved by Amouage. It hurt to let it go; it was a little treasure, but I love Beloved, and in the end, I never used Gucci Parfum—literally never. I always tested it on my wrist or a blotter but never found an occasion. True, the isolations did not help (it is not for between houses or small rooms), but everything was for Beloved. I am sure that at some point I will have the opportunity to try it again. Long life to Gucci Parfum!

  I’ve been searching for this olfactory perfection for years; what frustration. Until now, I haven’t found anything that resembles it. It’s a pity they threw it away; it was a true diamond in the world of perfumery.

  Gucci Parfum came into my life on offer because I simply cannot resist buying discontinued perfumes 😅. Upon smelling it, it reminded me of vintage perfumed talcs from the 90s, the kind my aunts and grandmothers used to dust on their necks and bodies. I am not sure which family it belongs to: it is not citrus, oriental, aldehydic, balsamic, or gourmand; it is more floral-talc-like. I do not identify the caraway or heliotrope, but I suppose they smell like that; from the list, I only recognise the iris with its makeup-like scent. It lasts a very long time on clothes and is moderate on skin. Its scent is linear, the same at the beginning as at the end. The bottle is mono, ideal for adorning any shelf. It still feels modern. It is not sexual, aggressive, dirty, strident, sublime, or narcotic; it is pleasant and gets along well, but more for oneself than to attract attention. It has reminiscences of the smell of babies, like Sun Moon Stars by Lagerfeld.

  Hello again! After 13 years without being able to own it, Gucci Eau de Parfum has finally returned to my hands, and I missed it terribly. The opening is slightly boozy, wrapped in heliotrope that lends it creaminess and sweetness; then, as it dries down, iris and vanilla emerge over a bed of subtle, new leather, with hints of incense and resin (without being cloying or heavy). It is irresistible, elegant, and mysterious. If you enjoy playing or layering with voluptuous fragrances, try it with Cuoium by Orto Parisi: it is rough, sensual, with accorded and smoky notes (delicious!). Cuoium has sweet spots, an almost petrol-like opening that becomes elegant and realistic as it dries, like aged leather with plenty of body that marks territory; it is daring. Both share animal, accorded, and incensed notes, and the blend is exquisite—a 10/10 bomb that you smell and never forget. Gucci Eau de Parfum will be the vintage favourite of all time, and Cuoium, a modern one that I have loved.
