Which Should You Buy?
This 90s powerhouse is a green floral explosion, often adored for its unique elegance and masterful blending. However, its strong vintage chypre character, particularly that dominant oakmoss, can be polarising, making it a love-it-or-hate-it for some. Undeniably a classy choice for those who appreciate old-school glamour.
This 80s icon is a proper love-it-or-hate-it experience, especially when dealing with vintage bottles - some find it a glorious floral bouquet, others a foul barnyard nightmare or cat pee. If you get a good batch, it's a nostalgic trip to a bolder, greener era.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
With its strong sillage and lasting power, Eau de Gucci is best reserved for situations where it can truly shine without overpowering. It's too assertive for casual wear and definitely out of place in a gym, but perfect for making a sophisticated statement at formal events or on a special date night. The classic floral chypre structure lends itself well to formal settings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and longevity mean a light hand is needed for the office, but its versatility makes it suitable for casual wear or even a sporty outing. The strong floral and chypre character might be a bit much for formal occasions.
