Gucci By Gucci edp
It took me a long time to decide on this one — and I had bought it. I thought I was going to end up swapping it away.
The first few times, it really didn’t strike me — or maybe the weather was off, who knows. My 12 year old liked it every time I spritzed it — and I didn’t spritz near my face.
But in the last day or so, it is smelling really good. It reminds me of a lighter version of PRADA 
It just goes to show you, don’t swap away too soon.
The notes are:
· Top Notes: Pear, guava accord, chamomile.
· Heart Notes: Lily of the valley, Tiare flower, orange blossom.
· Base Notes: Patchouli, musk
For the record, I used to like lily of the valley fragrances and would wear them in the spring. I have never done too well with orange blossom, though I love sweet orange. And I generally love anything with sweet pachouli. Musk can be iffy on me, but usually it is the only-musk that I can’t wear. When musk is an ingredient, but not the whole, I do fine.
Today, it is smelling like sweet patchouli with some interest thrown in. I’ve re-spritzed a couple of times already today, knowing that I don’t have to be careful with it today.
The bottle is interesting also, with tiny handcuffs. The ad campaign is just silly, as far as my kids are concerned.
Try it, you might like it. My favorite SA at Nordstrom’s said she loved the dry-down. That made me seriously try it again. I think it is one that does better as you use more of it vs. tiny amounts.
There is a new edt version, but I haven’t tried it yet, or seen it in my local stores. The notes are supposedly the same, so I don’t know if they tweaked any of them to be stronger or lighter in this version than in the edp. The edp isn’t too strong, so I’d likely go with it again.
Let me know what you think. Have you tried either? Do you like it/them? Do you own either?

I got for free a small miniature bottle of it when in Paris in February, and have tried it several times. would not have bought a bottle of this, although. I generally like chypres, but this is chypre-very-very-light, and also too fruity for me. It is rather weak, so I must apply more that usual to sense it on my skin, but then the balanse is disrupted in a way. After some hours it smells nice, but also then it is rather weak.
Interestingly, the first few times I tried it, it seemed very strong without a good dry down, but now, I agree with you, it is quite weak on me, but I like the dry down.
I find that strange.
