I have never been a massive Gucci fan but this fragrance certainly helps to convert me, it is a strong, very feminine fragrance that has excellent staying power and is very suitable for an evening out somewhere classy rather than as a day scent. I paid £40 for a 50ml bottle so it is reasonably priced in my opinion.

The bottle is pretty neat, a solid square glass design and a shaped angled top. It is a stylish design despite the substantial weight to it and the solid appearance and quite elegant in its own particular way. In terms of the actual fragrance there is a nice spicey edge to this perfume which develops after the initial sweetness has faded. There are some very womanly qualities to this scent with some deep textures to it. The initial fragrances that I detect from the top notes of pear and guava is a fruity sweetness that soon fades and is dominated by the more spicey notes such as patchouli and something called Tahitian tiare flower which I have never come across before. There is also a hint of honey in this as well as a certain strong muskiness that combines really well with the warmth of the patchouli.

I love this fragrance, it is a strong scent and rather sophisticated, it also has excellent staying power and lasts for the whole evening and is still detectable the next day which for me is a sure sign of quality. I like the way that the scent develops from a sweet smell into something far more mature and classy feeling and the level of muskiness is just about right for me. I said at the start of the review that for me it was more of an evenning scent however I could also see this being worn to business meetings and it is a very strong feminine scent that is quite noticeable without dominating the room, it is also quite an elegant fragrance and has a certain maturity about it.

Overall I can find little to fault this perfume, it is well priced, the packaging is good and the fragrance is top quality. If I find this in my xmas stocking I will be very happy indeed.
