Envy for Men Gucci 1998 Eau de Toilette

A business fragrance as it should be! Gucci Envy for men is a blockbuster, this scent is synonymous with all the translations of a single English keyword: SOPHISTICATED!

Here, wonderfully spicy, peppery, and zesty notes are combined with a beautifully oriental fragrance accord without becoming even remotely loud. At the beginning, pepper and ginger dominate, presenting a very potent yet unobtrusive play of freshness, a non-sweet mandarin can be sensed, a soft, warm hint of anise and cardamom envelops the overall picture, and vanilla is already gently pushing to the surface in soft intervals after a very short time.

There is a very warm freshness, a refined interplay of zesty summer scent and oriental feel-good atmosphere - an extraordinary semi-gourmand companion that whispers softly: "Here I am!" Gucci Envy for men inevitably stands out from the crowd with its sophisticated and cosmopolitan aura, doing so with great subtlety and unmistakable elegance. A wonderful, high-class fragrance for the cultivated man.

The green potion in its distinctive, masculine bottle is the perfect companion for meetings & co in business attire and a very good friend for the hours afterward in the hotel lounge. It makes itself comfortable on a dark leather couch in dim light, enjoying tobacco and cognac, and lets the evening end stylishly and relaxed.

Gucci Envy for men certainly hasn't reinvented the wheel, it doesn't belong in the niche fragrance category, yet it is still different from all its brothers and sisters. This scent surprises without overwhelming!

The longevity is very good, but one should be sparing with the dosage and proceed with caution. A downside is the enormous dependence on individual skin chemistry, where surprises can often end negatively. Gucci Envy for men, like many other fragrance jewels, has unfortunately been taken off the market despite good sales figures and without understandable reasons. I have not found a scent even remotely comparable to it to this day. Here, too, a great master of perfumery, Maurice Roucel, had his hands involved (despite the lack of mention).

CONCLUSION: Those who enjoy gourmand notes that do not overwhelm should test Gucci Envy for men; those who count long-lasting and differentiated perfumes among their preferences will feel at home here, and those looking for a demanding, refined fragrance for serious occasions should secure an artifact of the green envy water, because (to quote Cornelius Nepos): "Envy is the companion of fame."
