Advantages: Light frangrence , nice packaging

Disadvantages: Too floral and sickly for my liking

I'm a bit of an addict when it comes to Gucci perfumes. In general I like Gucci perfumes and Gucci features heavily in my perfume collection. Some of my favourite perfumes are Gucci... unfortunately Gucci Envy Me certainly isn't one of those.


Packaging
The perfume comes in a white box with a pink pattern which resembles a check pattern. The Gucci logo is on the front of the box. The packaging is quite plain and simple compared to some perfume bottles.

The bottle is a clear bottle with the same pink check pattern on the bottle as the box. The lid is white with the Gucci Envy Me logo written on it.


Price
The price of the perfume varies the RRP for a 30ml bottle is £29.00; however I have seen a 30ml bottle being sold for £18.00 online.

Scent
The description of the perfume from Gucci is :

"This seductive scent has top notes of pink peony, water jasmine and pink pepper blended intimately with a heart that combines lychee, pomegranate, pineapple, pink musk, seringa and white tea."

The smell isn't unpleasant but I don't actually find it pleasant either. When I wear it I find it too sweet and sickly when I smell it on myself.

When I smell the fragrance on someone else I find that it smells too floral and almost like a floral room spray and like roses. Some people may like this but I like sweet fresh type perfumes rather than being over powered with a flowery smell.

This perfume goes on very strong when it is sprayed. However I found after about 3 hours of wearing the smell has warn off and needs another spray. I don't really like re spraying perfume as I like my perfume to smell light rather than it being over powering but with this perfume it is one of the only perfumes that I own which does require another spray.

I did notice that occasionally when I sprayed this perfume onto my neck I came up in a red rash which was extremely itchy. After speaking to a friend about this she had also encountered some discomfort so I would advise if you do have sensitive skin beware when you first try out this product.


Summary
I was bought this perfume by a friend as a present. I wear the perfume but it's definitely not one of my favourites and I will not be replacing it once the bottle has gone. It's wearable but not really my cup of tea it's almost too floral and not as fresh as I like. The perfumes I usually wear are girly but fresh for example DKNY woman, Vera Wang Princess and Gucci II compared to those perfumes Gucci Envy just smells too flowery and sweet for my liking.

Summary: Floral Frangrence
