Envy Me by Gucci

It doesn’t smell bad, it’s pleasant, but it doesn’t stand out. It doesn’t seem as sophisticated as its brand, just like Bright Crystal. Both remind me of shampoos or soaps, or fresh girl colognes, or the Adidas ones at the supermarket (and sometimes you find something with more personality there). It smells like pineapple and strawberry with something musky or talcum-like. After a while, it becomes more floral and honeyed, but nothing special. It doesn’t last long and has little sillage. For me, it’s for after a shower or lazy days when I’m not going out. It’s comforting and makes me feel clean.

It’s absolutely crazy pink pepper! A floral-fruit blend, slightly acidic, sparkling, and musky. It’s not my favorite and I wouldn’t rank it with Gucci (though with Guilty, who knows?), but for this spring in my area, it’s ideal and revitalizing. It hints at summer with its exotic juices and cocktails. I wish the young perfumes in my city (Playboy, Pachá, Mercadona…) had this fruit. It’s fresh and long-lasting; the tea and green notes give it vitality, while the woods add a touch of personality. It even smells like optimism, perfect for waking up on a Monday.

Gucci Envy is an interesting fruity-floral with lots of pineapple and a less noticeable mango. It has a creamy touch from the lychee; the rose is there but shy. Some might find it cloying or synthetic, but I love it—it has personality. It reminds me of my teenage years, Regina George with sticky lip gloss and monochromatic eyeshadow. It was born the same year Mean Girls came out, so it makes sense.

It’s a bitter but addictive scent. The strong pineapple notes are hooking, though I bought it because it smelled great on my friend’s skin. On my skin, it smells different; it doesn’t embrace my skin like I’d like, just like with other perfumes. I have a strange love for this: I want it, but it’s not quite sure about our relationship.

I tried it by chance and really liked it. Blends beautifully with my skin and is different from what I usually wear, so I was sure I’d buy it. But then I tried a decant and it didn’t convince me; there’s a note that bothers me, so I used it up as best I could.

I was gifted it. At first, I hated the pineapple scent and put it away for two years. One day I smelled it again and it was incredible. On my skin, the roses and lychee developed beautifully. I love perfumes that balance the pepper well.

I had it, but I can’t find it anymore. It’s a beautiful fragrance, reminiscent of the original Gucci Envy but more youthful, cheerful, and casual. It has a young spirit, it’s innocent and less sensual than its predecessor.

I’m not a big fan. They say it’s ‘addictive’ for men, but I don’t believe it. On my skin, it leaves no trail and fades quickly, maybe it’s just me. I don’t see anything special about it.

I smelled it today and fell in love. It’s a wonderful beauty, simple and without fuss. It lasts and performs well; it’s a rich mix of fruits with spicy touches. A delight.

I love it! It feels mysterious, flirtatious, and maybe a bit powdery. Every time I wear it, people ask what I’m wearing, and the best part is that it lasts all day.

Fresh and perfect for everyday wear. Smells like freshly cut grass with peony. Gives me a clean feeling and is ideal for going to work on weekdays.

To me, it’s pure pineapple scent with a touch of fresh roses. It’s very lovely.

A gift from my mother.
