Eden Perfumes No.691 Envy is an Eau de Parfum. No.691 Envy opens with Mandarin, Mahogany, Lavender, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Vetiver. Eden Perfumes's No.691 Envy carries an Acquired verdict, a spicy-led wear.

No.691 follows Gucci's Envy for Men blueprint - a spiced ginger opening over a woody, ambered oriental base - but comes across noticeably softer and less nuclear, losing much of the original's famed loud, spicy sillage.

About

No.691 opens with the ginger note that made the Gucci original famous among fragrance fans, sharpened here with cardamom, lavender, black pepper, coriander and a hit of mandarin for a busy, spice-forward start. Sandalwood and cedar carry the heart alongside carnation, jasmine and rose, building a woody-floral bridge rather than jumping straight into pure spice. The base pulls in incense, tobacco, vanilla, amber, vetiver, patchouli, leather and musk, aiming for the same rich, oriental-woody depth that gave the original its cult following among aftershave collectors. The main gap between the two is intensity - Gucci's Envy for Men is famous for being genuinely loud and long-lasting, while this version dials the spice and woods down to something far more office-safe and considerably shorter-lived. It's a comfortable, wearable route into the ginger-spice oriental style for anyone who loved the idea of the original but wants a gentler daily version, best suited to cooler months and evening or date-night wear.
