My sister wore this, I liked it on her,so she bought it for me.On her, it seemed to smell predominantly of raspberry, possibly rose, on me, it seems to smell quite subtly different, and I agree with previous more...eleganty-put reviews which mention the fresher,slightly more leafy scent that fades to one of soft fruit and roses.Which I wouldn't normally wear if you paid me,but..it works,it stops just short of being too talcum-powdery or sweet,I get a faint hint of violets or blackcurrant and I really like it,even after a few hours,I think it's quite long-lasting, without being invasive.A friend of mine said it reminded her vaguely of rose -scented incense,possibly with sandalwood, I can understand that....In a strange way..it's ..possibly not something I would have dreamed of wearing myself,I don't see myself as "this type of person" but it IS a lovely scent, if I'm actually, having a Fluffy day,I will wear it..

This seems to be a very popular fragrance, and while I understand its appeal, I guess I expected something more. Gucci eau de Parfum II appears to be the perfect Summer choice for the young and extremely feminine. This is your typical pink fruity floral, inoffensive and pleasant. The opening of Gucci eau de Parfum II is actually quite strong, with the berries and citrus coming to the fore early in the composition. The florals, although present, hardly feature in this fragrance. The fruit certainly dominates. The heart softens a little into a shampoo-like concoction that is both clean and delicate. Once again it is that 'straight out of the shower' type smell that is replicated here. The drydown is by far my favourite part, with a musky and subtle berry scent creating a direct comparison to berry flavoured yoghurt. I thoroughly enjoyed this sudden creaminess and I found it to round off the scent nicely. Although fruity fragrances aren't really my thing, I rather like its 'cuteness', I have to say that this is quite delicious. I'll also add that I found no problem with the lasting power, it lasts considerably well on me.

Loved this at first but it disappeared on me in hours. Had to return it sadly as I am not a person to put up with respraying. If it works on your skin and lasts this is a winner.

I find it interesting that no one has yet noted the connection between Gucci Eau de Parfum II and Gucci Pour Homme II. Besides the cleverly-executed Violet note, EdP II gives off the same "tea" vibe that Pour Homme II gives off. I suspect it's the Blackcurrants, but really, Gucci Pour Homme II is, to me, essentially a masculine version of the similarly-named Gucci Eau de Parfum II. I still like the men's better, but this is still a superior women's release from the past decade and bears great sillage and longevity. My 50 year old mother loves this one.

Wow, to me Gucci EDP II is berries and creme, not at all gourmand but still very very tasty (Im a guy, just for the record!). Its a young, playful, hairspray and pink nail polish fun fragrance without overpowering every other fragrance in the room. To me the Mandarin, Black berries and Black currant notes work perfectly alongside the violet and jasmine. The 'catiness' is always lingering in the background, grounding the fragrance in the form of musk and the elusive heliotrope note. A fragrance that always intrigues me, making me wish the wearer of said perfume has made their fragrance purchase based on how good this fragrance actually is and not because its a cheaper 'high street' fragrance and it smells 'how a girl should smell'. It plays out in my mind as a 20 something woman back in the 50's who works in an office by day but by night transforms into a bubblegum blowing diner chic by night, loving nothing better than the feel of the wind in her hair as she rides in a soft top cadillac beside 'her man'.

I wear this to the office most days. Its light, soft and fresh. And bound not to offend anyone. The berries give it a bit of a kick that for me stops it from wandering into boring territory. Reasonably long-lasting on me.

Love the bottle design and colour of the juice.

Gucci II is a nice "pink" refreshing floral. Easy to wear, but the dry down is a little bit boring. It smells a lot like Hermes Kelly Caleche without the soft leathery notes. It's not my thing, but is still nice. Inoffensive and good for situations that require light fragrance. A bit more sophisticated choice than the normal boring sugary light florals in the market.

I suppose heliotrope, musk and cedar are what connect this edition to the original Eau de Parfum. The interesting thing though: the smell nothing alike. Eau de Parfum is mystical, androgynous, and sexy. This is strictly feminine, light, and pretty.

It is like an Angelina Jolie/Drew Barrymore distinction.

Cute, simple, inoffensive, feminine, fruity/flowery; there is nothing unpleasant in it. It just smells happy. Is it a true elixir of a femme fatale that makes men crawl on their knees, cry their eyes out, and bleed in their hearts?

No.

But it is what it is. Cute. My best friend wore this scent since forever, that is why I cannot be objective: I always had fond memories attached to this smell. But it is honestly pleasant: I am being objective. To me, there is not even a slight connection to the legendary amber colored Gucci Eau de Parfum (for the people who read my reviews, you know how much I love the original Gucci Eau de Parfum.) This is Gucci's 'pink' answer to fragrances like Coco Mademoiselle, Miss Dior Cherie, Prada Tendre etc.: the type of young smelling scents women from horizon to horizon love nowadays globally.

It smells very young, and distinguishable in its own way. You can't mistake this scent for something else: it has a character in its own niche. For a true fragrance lover, yes, this is a much weaker offering than the original Gucci Eau de Parfum. But it is because II is a different type of scent. Opens with fruits like black currant, mandarin, red berries, bitter orange and currant leaves to break fruit salad sweetness. Quite linear, but luminous from top to finish, it goes on with peony, black berries, freesia, violet, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley. Flowers all the way. And it dries down to heliotrope, light musk, and cedar.

The bottle is identical to the original, and it is a true work of minimalistic art. The fragrance is pink, and was overseen by Tom Ford. It is quite popular because of the Sephora push, and much much easier to find then the original Eau de Parfum.

I have nothing against the fragrance, and it would make a perfect gift to anyone, because there is, like I say, nothing debatable about the ingredients: nobody would hate this scent. But what happened the other day is; I bought a face cream for 20 dollars or something, and let me tell you, it smells exactly the same with II. Exactly. That is why I think II just smells a little common, and not edgy or debate-worthy.

But still, very 'cute'.

Blackcurrant leaves wear a Gucci suit and handbag. In other words - sophisticated, inoffensive, wearable and fresh, but not a party animal, sexy seductress or a frivolous girl. I own this and wear it for business meetings, travel, etc.
