Here it is gang,
Here is the thing that almost NONE of us have been waiting for. Yes, Gucci is releasing an Oudh fragrance. It’s being sold as a Gucci by Gucci flanker. My fingers are crossed, maybe it will surprise us all. To be fair I always get people sniffing about and asking when I wear GUCCI Guilty and even GUCCI Envy Me II is nice. GUCCI by GUCCI is a real lovely floral amber spritz. Maybe it will be nice…

GUCCI Oud by GUCCI 2014
Photos Stolen Fragrantica
Fragrantica gives these featured accords:
Top: Pear, raspberry, saffron
Heart: Bulgarian rose, orange blossom
Base: Oud, patchouli, amber, musk
This made me giggle a bit. I’m guilty of liking the original Gucci by Gucci. Don’t think I will go out of my way to find this one though. Pretty sure the DH thinks I have plenty of perfume.

Hey there Amarah! What a lovely surprise to see you here. Thanks for dropping by.
Yes, I am itching to sniff the GUCCI treatment of Oudh, though my expectations are extremely moderate.
Are there any in the range you already wear?

oh I don’t know… Pear, raspberry are not good notes for me… may be too sweet on top of the oud. But as you say darling..we shall see.

Fingers crossed it is a goodie. I love pear and raspberry can be good if handled deftly for me. Fruit notes are becoming more appealing to me over time. Damn you Bombay Bling for being my fruit gateway.

Hi Portia,
Your “extremely moderate” sounds like my (and my older students’) favored tempo, “molto moderato”. I agree with Lanier Smith that this Gucci may be too sweet, super dolcissimo, on top of the oud! Scary Raspberry! But who knows? When you try it will you write a review?

Hey Azar,
If it moves me I will write. We get things later than you guys, if you get it first I’d love a run down.

A fruity oud? I suppose it’s been done already, but I haven’t seen one. I’ll give it a sniff out of curiosity. Video ad is nice.

Hi there AnnaMarieC,
I like the ad too, very interesting and pretty. Yes, there are a few Montale fruit oudhs and if you go onto the Arabic oil sites they are almost as popular as the rose oudh combos.
