As anyone who reads my other reviews will know, I am an absolute perfume addict. I was browsing through eBay a week ago when I came across Gucci Eau De Perfume II for an excellent price. I knew what this perfume smelt like and knew that I liked it so I placed a bid… and won it for an incredible £4!
Packaging The bottle comes inside a baby pink box which has the Gucci logo embossed on the front. The box is quite plain and simple but very girly because of the colour. The bottle is square shaped while the lid is round making the bottle look quite elgant and certainld different from other bottles. The bottle and lid are made from thick glass. The bottle is see through and the perfume inside is pink. The bottle being see through is useful as you can always see how much of the scent you have left.
Price As I already metioned, I got my bottle for £4 on eBay (I love my bargains) so for the purpose of this review, I have done a little research on the internet and found this perfume at the following prices on BeautyBay.com: a 30ml bottle costs £21.99 and a 50ml bottle costs £27.99 which is about average for a designer perfume.
The Perfume I adore this perfume, I find ity quite girlie and it certyainly makes me feel feminine. Accoring to their website, this perfume includes ingredients like blackberries, blackcurrant, mandarin, violet, jasmine, heliotrope and cedar wood. I think this perfume is light and fresh and is certainly a more modern smelling perfume with lots of fruity bursts!
Does The Smell Last I sometimes find that the ‘light’ perfumes tend to fade very quickly but that isnt the case with this one. Although the smell is light and fruity, the smell does remain on your skin, clothes etc all day. I just apply the perfume at the beginning of the day and can still smell it easily on my clothes towards the end of the day. Im pleased to have found a scent that isnt heavy and musky and can still be smelt at the end of the day.
Who Would This Scent Suit? I think this scent would suit most woman regardless og age, as long as they enjoy light and fruit fragrances. For woman that prfer the musky fragrances, I would avoid this!
Summary I would certainly recommend this perfume. I actually first smelt this perfume ages agao but I am too tight to buy them when they are a their full price and more often than not I wait until I find them for a better price on eBay. Since buying this, it has become one of my favourite scents. I always feel very girlie when I wear this scent and it also makes me feel quite summery, because of the scent being light and fresh, it would be perfect for the summer. The price is about average for a designer perfume and not too bad compared to some other perfume prices.
