Advantages: A lovely Floral and Fruity scent that remains all day

Disadvantages: None!

Gucci II was launched in 2004 so is not exactly a new perfume on the market but it is one of my favourites. The perfume itself is presented in a square pale pink box which is very attractive and looks very neat especially sat on a dressing table.When I first saw this perfume I was instantly impressed with the design it is in a square bottle with a matching square top and is made from clear glass this enables you to see the perfume. The perfume is a very lovely light pink colour. The bottle is a little heavier than the average perfume bottle but this is due to the design, so this is not something that you can easily carry around.

This Eau de Parfum is labelled as being a soft, fruity floral scent that has notes of Mandarin, Blackcurrant, Violet and Blackberry. It also states there are Jasmine, Heliotrope and Cedarwood. This description is from the website of the Perfume Shop which states that the top notes are Red Berry, Orange, Cassia and Blackcurrant. So I would definitely agree with the description as having a fruity scent! The base notes are Heliotrope, Musk and Cedarwood for a more detailed description you can take a look on their website.

Gucci states that this perfume is Elegant, Feminine but also Playful and I would have to agree. I would not class this as a heavy scent and in that case can be worn during the day. I occasionally wear this perfume to work but if I am honest I do prefer to wear this if I am going out in the evening. I would class it as more of a special occasion perfume.

I can slightly pick out Jasmine scent, but this may just be me. All in all I have only good things to say about this perfume it has a lovely clean, crisp scent. One of the good points about it is that it remains on your skin all day. There are only the odd perfumes that have this ability and a few of them have to be very pungent in order to achieve it.

Gucci II retails at the perfume shop at £29.99 for a 30ml bottle and for a 50ml it is £43.99. I have noticed that a body lotion is also available in some stores, such as Boots and John Lewis. It isn't the cheapest perfume going but I think it's worth it in the long run.

Summary: A perfect scent that is one of the best on the market
