Gucci Envy for Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Daniela Andrier. Envy for Men 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.

A legendary, much-missed masterpiece from Gucci's Tom Ford era, Envy for Men commands reverence and ridiculous prices. It's that rare beast that everyone yearns for, despite some admitting that its vintage may not universally appeal.

About

Opening with a dynamic burst of spicy ginger and cardamom, uplifted by a whisper of lavender and tart mandarin, Envy for Men immediately captivates. The heart unfolds into a sophisticated blend of rose and jasmine, enriched by hearty sandalwood and cedar. The dry-down is magnificent: a warm, smoky embrace of incense, tobacco, amber, and leather, grounded by earthy vetiver and patchouli, with a creamy hint of vanilla.
