Gucci pour Homme Gucci 2003 Eau de Toilette

...whoever has ever smelled these clove cigarettes from Indonesia will either love or hate them - and will always recognize them! Gucci pour Homme is not quite as extreme, but it always reminds me of the scent of these cigarettes.
In general, it is a true spice scent - mainly Christmas spices (including Apicius' list) with a broad woody base and a very light sweetness, which makes the fragrance particularly suited for the current Christmas season and thus for Christmas markets. The only downside is the longevity: especially outdoors, the scent dissipates very quickly, so I have even found myself reapplying it in various perfumeries.

I cannot understand the discussion about the target audience. Of course, it is not a perfume for teens, but from the mid-20s onward, Gucci pour Homme is definitely wearable. It is more about the season - I generally only wear it in the cold months, preferably in November/December.

This scent simply gives me a warm, cozy feeling, and even while I am writing these lines, I catch myself sniffing it again and again. Strict or sacred darkness does not come to my mind at all - rather this image: Christmas Eve gathered with family around the Christmas tree. The fireplace provides comforting warmth, the candles are glowing, and the whole house smells of Christmas. Wishing you all a lovely pre-Christmas season!
