I quite enjoyed writing my last review about perfume, so thought I would write another review on another on my favourite fragrances, Gucci II.
The Box and Bottle The Gucci II perfume bottle comes in a baby pink box which is really girlie and feminine. The Gucci logo is embossed across the front of the box. Although the box is quite simple, with no major decorations or pictures on it, it still feels feminine and almost elegant. The bottle itself comes in the shape of a square and the lid to the bottle is circular which makes quite a stunning contrast. The bottle and lid are made from thick glass and the bottle is pretty heavy (well for a perfume bottle it is!). The bottle is see through which I like because you can always see the amount that you have left. The perfume inside the bottle is a light pink colour.
Cost I normally buy my perfumes on the internet as I find them to be much cheaper (especially on eBay). This particular perfume, I got from www.scentstore.co.uk where it can be found for the following prices; 30ml bottle is £24.99, 50ml bottle is £37.99 so its not exactly the cheapest perfume but in my opinion, its well worth the money.
The Scent This is one of my more feminine perfumes, the scent is lovely, light and girlie. I have done a bit of research on the internet and found that this perfume is described as being elegant and playful and that is certainly a statement that I can agree with. The ingredients for this perfume include violet, blackberries, jasmine, blackcurrant, mandarin, heliotrope and cedar wood. So as you can imagine from the ingredients, this perfume is quite fruity.
Staying Power I wear this perfume for various occasions as I think it is quite a versatile fragrance. I occasionally wear this perfume to work, so I apply a few sprays in the morning and can still smell the scent on myself or my clothes at the end of my working day. With many of my fruity and feminine perfumes, they are so light that the scent fades really quickly but I am pleased to say that this is not the case with this perfume.
Conclusion I would recommend this perfume to anyone who likes fruity and girlies fragrances. For women who prefer musky and woody scents, then I would avoid this one. I know that the cost of this perfume is fairly expensive but I feel that it is worth the money because it does have really good staying power so even a 30ml bottle will last you quite a while. Although I feel that this perfume is suited to almost any occasion, because it is light and girlie, I like to use this perfume in the summer and while I am on holiday as it suits the mood perfectly.

I like the scent of this perfume as well; its a really lovely summery perfume although I wouldnt wear this scent all the time I would probably only wear it now and again for a change. Good reveiw

Why am I attracted to perfume purely by the bottle and packaging...? Lissy
