Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gucci EDP
This discontinued powerhouse is a cult classic, with fans mourning its loss and hailing it as a masterpiece of seductive sophistication. Polarising, yes, but its distinct warm, spicy character ensures it leaves an unforgettable impression. People want it back, and they want it *now*.

Our Verdict - Florence Scent EDP
Florence Scent chases Gucci's Eau de Parfum (2002) - the luxurious, vintage oriental-spicy of powdery heliotrope and iris over leathery, incense-laced woods. It captures that classy, ancient-temple mood, but renders it flatter and lighter, with the original's rich, complex base simplified and projection pulled in.
