Gucci pour Homme (2003)
by Gucci

Clearly what the world needs is another insight into Gucci pour Homme. Well, here's my go at it.

I really wanted to like this. Trust me, I really did. I like Tom Ford's work, I like other male Gucci scents, I even like the bottle. Hell, I LOVE the bottle. The juice just leaves me a little flat. It's not that it's a bad scent, I just don't especially care for the way it smells. It's wood, incense, and pencil shavings plus some pepper and leather in the dry down. Nothing there to hate except for the pencil shavings, which are far too prominent and drive me away. For my money, CDG's Kyoto gives me all the incense and wood I'll ever need.

Then again, I'm merely a college student. This isn't the kind of scent that can easily be pulled off by someone of my age. Perhaps when I'm older, I will discover this one's true beauty.

WOW! negative reviews?? Common!! give this one a try and it'll not fail you. agreed, the pencilshaving note is far too prominent, but maybe this is not a scent to be enjoyed up close (although i do).

Gucci PH opens with a intense camphory sweet, slightly smoky incense on top of shiny leather notes topped with spicy notes of pepper, ginger and bay (bay note will remind one of Obsession for a second). it is no doubt a sweet incense based scent, with a subtle touch of sandalwood and other "woody" notes...as the sweetness (infamous pencil shaving note) starts to wear off in time, the leather, incense n Amber trio works up the smoky sillage...this ones a smoky, spicy, incense based scent with a comforting base of leather and amber..leaving a trail of pure class beyond words.

Like Dior Homme, Gucci PH leaves an impression on the wearer...the aspect that i find most intriguing about this scent is the sillage, the magic is in the sillage ..like Dior homme, it has often had me look around the room to see who is wearing that wonderful scent, only to discover it's me.. a masterpiece from Gucci, one that can challenge well known niche ones costing 5 times more.

WONDERFUL!

There is not much to say....
If you like sweet,spicy, woody and warm scents than you should give this one a try, cause nowadays such fragrances are rarely findable.
Very well blended. Good lasting power. Definitely not mainstream. Wonderful bottle.
Admirable that such a fragrance is the flagship of Gucci's fragrance line (for men).
(Maybe a bit too much in the summer time.)

This is definately a courageous composition for a modern perfume. I personally think, although it smells not very "pleasant" but it is still a very harmonious composition. It has such an interesting, strong appearance that most people at have a clear opinion about it: either you like it or you hate it, there is not much room in between. Yes it smells a little bit like pencil sharpener but it also reminds me like of desert, plenty of oil, money and luxury-it has a very oriental start. After a while it gets softer and a little too much vanilla is taming down the rough beginning and some of the first attraction(or disgust) is lost.
It is a strong, warm and unconventional, long lasting winter scent.

I bought Gucci pour homme in Cayman Islands. A big hit!
GPH is classy, nice incense notes, very elegant and original. Excelent sillage and longevity.
Thanks Gucci for this incredibly good product.
PS: I recieve compliments every day

I really tried liking this one but not for me, it really smelled like pencil shavings at first after a while the strong woody opening calms down and it becomes much better. I wont say I hate it but I will almost never wear it so I give a neutral rating.
