Latest Reviews of Gucci Eau de Parfum II

The drydown adds a violet impression, and for the next few hours it is this violet that dominates the scene. It is, I must say, a bit on the unexciting side.
Additionally, I get a weak undertone of jasmine here and there.
The base adds some heavier feelings, with a sweetness provided by heliotropes mixed with lashing me if white musks. Whiffs of a dried out ylang-ylang add some smoothness. A woodsiness is present in the background, mostly rather nonspecific and cedar only comes to the fore occasionally.
I get moderate sillage, adequate projection and seven hours of longevity on my skin.
A pleasantly inoffensive scent for warm spring or college summer days, which is very generic and of a blandly synthetic nature. 2.5/5.

The currant and blackberry notes combine with the violet and musks to present a clean version of the genre. I never get the citrus notes. The other florals are indistinguishable.
I expected more of a statement of some kind from the house of Gucci, but alas. Turin's "sage floral" is an incomprehensible tag to my mind as neither do I get any herbals, nor are any listed.
Bland and a bit boring.

6/10

The top notes limn the expected sweet-tart berry accord, soon joined by a floral bouquet in which violet and jasmine play dominant roles. The green notes that rescue Gucci EdP II from banality swoop in not long after, and once the three components fruit, florals, and green assemble, the scent plays out in a consistent, linear manner for several hours before settling into an unusually reserved clean musk and wood drydown. Altogether an unexpected pleasure.
