Black Tea Deluxe
Where do I even begin? Gucci Pour Homme II is such a lovely scent, a modish and fashionable breakfast tea. The bergamot and black tea blend remind the well-known Earl Grey, a top-of-the-tier timeless classic. Aromatic bergamot adds a refined tart citrus taste to the dark, full-lead tea with prized tiny silver tips!
I blindly bought a bottle because of the smoky notes. What a pleasant surprise! I would say a pretty linear fragrance, which is built around the preeminent black tea note, not a light white or lemon green tea you get in Bvlgari pour Homme Eau de Toilette, rather a more oxidated and strong oolongs one like a dark English Breakfast tea. That note gives the scent an intense sweet caramel, malt, and mineral stone-like vibe, with oaky undertones. Despite the azure color of the juice, GPH II is not aquatic, not citrus, and not a sports scent.
I got to know of this fragrance when it was first launched back in 2007, but I was so skeptical about that, thinking it was yet another aquatic one in the universe, and despised it for too long. Oh, man, I was so damn wrong! Gucci pour Homme II is seriously so gorgeous and smells so good.
In the open, I get a fresh and clean burst of creamy bergamot blended with green violet leaves, which fades quickly and leaves a dark tea trail, with a tad of spicy cinnamon and a bit of sweet paprika. Well, my gut feeling is that it incorporates one of the best tea notes and blends it correctly with the herbal violet leaf and the sweet-smoky tobacco. That concoction creates a cool-warm effect, soothing, comforting, and slightly sweet.
Ultimately, I get the myrrh and the tobacco notes in the dry down, which accentuates the ruggedly masculine sexiness that I find intriguing. The perfume stays close to the skin, making it ideal for crowded places, but I don't see any issues with longevity. After several hours, if I smell my wrists, the fragrance is still over there.
GPH II is versatile. It works well in spring and fall when the weather is slightly warmer, and the bitter-aromatic myrrh gives its best. Excellent for office and casual day, evening, or a night out. Today was a pleasant cold spring day, and the scent went well with my skin.
To me, GPH II has something in common with Aura for Men, meaning that they are not one another replica, though they share the same vibe, and the blend of tea and tobacco are very similar.
