Gucci

I fell in love with this after seeing it online, the colors are absolutely beautiful. I agree with the other reviewer, I just want to confirm that it is a lovely quad. I like using this most for easy effortless day looks with no liner and only mascara.

Not an everyday wear for me, but something that I feel I have to have in my collection for always. It’s very special: confidently feminine and seductive, yet somewhat distant; familiar yet obscure; vintage yet modern. I find the best time to wear this is when I’m outdoors on a cold night. And I always have to remember to spray sparingly! Sadly, it’s long been discontinued. I kept stock, thanks to eBay, but they’re becoming more and more difficult to find, and consequently, more and more expensive. I found an excellent dupe via the English brand Eden Perfumes, number 42. Though not a perfect substitute, it’s an excellent, and admirably low-priced dupe. I hope they don’t ever discontinue 42 like Gucci did with Envy! Why, Gucci?!

I got a sample of this from Sephora. My interest was entirely based on the packaging and the name. I wore this once to a party and that was enough to make me never want to wear it again. I had people telling me they "smell cat litter box" and others asking where the cat was - some were actively LOOKING for said cat - because it smelled so much like cat piss. Spoiler alert: there was no cat. I've never been a cat owner (and I'm not very familiar with the intricacies of white florals) so it took me several hours to realize the stench was emanating from me! While in the Uber home from the party, I fervently googled "jasmine and cat piss" and learned all about their infamous comparisons. For what it's worth, the Uber driver immediately recognized my perfume as "jasmine" and complimented me on it.

In summary: It's strong. Very strong, with a pungent sillage. I love the smell of jasmine outdoors, but this is a highly concentrated version of it. I'm normally against using the phrase "old lady" as a pejorative, but this truly is a one-note, old lady perfume that - according to others - reeks of cat piss.

It's amazing, love the scent, it's fun and youthful.

Just purchased this for the 4th time is one of my favourite perfume. You got to be in the mood for it tho. Love it!!
