Advantages: Pure luxury and being an individual. This is for the strong, bold and confident chic

Disadvantages: Price. This isn't cheap just make sure you love it before you buy it !

This perfume is absolutely gorgeous and I'm so happy to be writing a review on it! An ex, John bought it for me a few years ago and I've bought it ever since.

It wasn't the one I had dropped hints for when asked what I wanted for Christmas but he was a new boyfriend at the time so I didn't like to say anything and although he had said oh I'll take it back if it's wrong when my eyes must have shown disapointment I tried to smille through my pain! However although I was a bit disapointed because I knew this must have set him back a second morgage and what I wanted I really did want and like and costed probably half the price of this one I was thrilled he'd chosen it and liked it and believed it was 'me' when he explained his reasons for buying it. I decided on the spot on the train we were on as I opened it up and sniffed it that I was keeping it even it smelt the roughest most nasty crap in the world (well I had to once I opened it up lol). I'd just always think he'd think of me as crap lol

The Packaging....

It comes in an almost black box and a square glass see through bottle with a thick round lid over a silver sprayer. The liquid is a rich dark deep honey colour. It's very very nice packaging if a little masculine but it does look unusual and robust on my dressing table.

The Smell....

At first sniff it smells of pencil sharpenings and just not nice at all. I remember feeling very disappointed at first sniff and not wanting to say anything still lol but I sprayed the scent on my wrist and walked round the town and when it calmed down it was just stunning and I've been in love ever since.

It's an oriental floral fragrance lke no other! I'm sure none like you've probably smelt before! It's just so distinctive and unusual.
The scent is said to be a mingle of Iris, Cumin and Musk and very deep indeed. It's so smooth and rich and decadent and layered. It's a long laster and you don't need to keep topping up the fragrance as a little of this goes a lvery ong way and you can over do it. Less is so definetely more with this and in my view certainly most suited for evening use unless you have a power lunch!

No age range for this you either love it or you hate it and I wouldn't just buy a bottle for anyone that I didn't know if they liked it or not as it really is an acquired taste. I would say you'd have to be quite confident to wear this fragrance and it is classy and would probably appeal more to a more mature lady or a woman who likes very heavy, lasting scents and likes to make an impression. This fragrance does so you have to be brave and people do usually make comments and it is as I stated earlier an aquired taste so be ready for negative remarks lol

It comes in two sizes in the Eau De Parfum , 30ml and 50ml.

Best Price I can find....

Gucci Original 'For Women' 30ml Eau De Toilette £17.04, Cheapsmells.com.
This is incredibly cheap compared to the prices I've paid on the high street of late believe me and it is getting harder to find this fragrance as there are so many Guci fragrances saturating the market. Do look around and do be aware of fakes of this one cos I've seen them. Also this review is not for Gucci 'Gucci' which has been released onto the market since I wrote this review originally. The one I am reviewing to clarify is Gucci 'Original'. Big difference as Gucci, Gucci is much lighter in fragrance and not even one I like lol

Summary: One of my all time favs and a total classic! Not Gucci 'Gucci' though! Mine is original!
