Gucci Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Aurélien Guichard. Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme opens with Bergamot, Cypress, and Violet, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Patchouli, and Frankincense. Gucci's Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a truly divisive scent. It's either an absolute masterpiece with a stunning tobacco note that women adore, or an utterly boring, watered-down mess. The only consensus? Its performance is abysmal. Don't blind buy; the original is a legend, the current formulation, not so much.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its refined, low-sillage profile makes it suitable for office wear, but its seductive tobacco and leather notes truly shine on a date or formal evening. Many reviews highlight its appeal in intimate settings, though its poor longevity means reapplying for longer events. It's less suited for casual or sporty occasions due to its sophisticated character.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme opens with an invigorating burst of cypress and violet, giving it a fresh, slightly green edge. This quickly mellows into a sophisticated heart where a smooth, airy tobacco note intertwines with subtle jasmine. The dry down is a warm, masculine embrace of leathery patchouli, resinous elemi, and rich amber, leaving a refined and alluring trail. It's a complex dance of woody, aromatic, and subtly sweet elements.
