Well, I got a small sample of Gaultier2 from our fellow Stuigi today. (He must have known the dire straits I was in... but , then again, so do a lot of Basenoters.)
So, I decied to take an extra shower to scrub off the Terre d'Hermes I was wearing. Afterwards, I spritzed on the decant, and... I happen to like it a lot! Â*8-)
At first, I noticed a bubblegum note in G2 like many here have mentioned... only it's more like Grape Bubble Yum than the Original Bazooka I expected. Like many a Basenoter, the strong vanilla note was there, but it was a soft, sweet vanilla and not a powdery vanilla a la Givenchy Pi. I also noticed a strong similarity to the drydown of Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin due to the amber and musk notes, but without the licorice note that automatically spoils Lolita for me.
Also, like many have mentioned, this is a rather simple scent. Personally, I think that Gaultier2 will come in handy for those days I can't decide.
As soon as this hits Sephora and the like, I will be first in line to buy a bottle. (After all, most of the online discounters are ripping us off, charging us more than 30% above European retail prices for this.)
P.S.: In case you didn't know, the commercial and ad camapign will be tweaked with different music (Sonny & Cher's "I've Got You, Babe"
and an identical slogan for the US launch. The US launch is scheduled for mid/late June at Sephora, Bloomingdale's, and Neiman Marcus, while other stores will get it between October and November.
