Gucci by Gucci Sport by Gucci

Irrelevant until I snagged it on sale at a department store. I bought the travel size for the original bottle, but the scent is dark green, nothing fresh or citrusy. It’s not bad, but it smells mature and vintage, lasts about a breath, doesn’t even cling to clothes, and doesn’t stand out at all.

Gucci by Gucci Sport, a subtle fragrance. A well-executed green fig accord with milky nuances, wrapped in a faint fresh opening of tangerine and grapefruit, slightly mentholated by cardamom, very energizing. Ideal for daytime. Average performance; I don’t feel the patchouli and vetiver earthy notes on the skin, but I do on the blotter alongside musky tones. In my opinion, these delicate fragrances are enjoyed more on clothes; the skin absorbs the base notes. A bit unisex, nothing invasive.

One of my favorite battle fragrances. Well-designed and perceptible development. Opens citrusy and green, a fresher opening than what it later turns into. Evolves into fruity and sweet, dominated by fig, becoming woody over time. In the dry-down, fig and vetiver are in dialogue, always with a green touch, never dark, a fruity/spiced vetiver. Very well-developed. The sweet fruity fig isn’t for summer, it can get cloying and overwhelming at high temperatures. Better for moderate temperatures: spring and those luminous autumn days.

A work of art, very little known and undervalued for the perfume wonder it is: fresh, clean, and luminous.

Gucci by Gucci Sport will go down in history as one of Gucci’s most unknown scents. And undoubtedly, as one of the best at using and projecting the cypress note. It should be taken seriously. For me, it’s what Romance Silver by Ralph Lauren never could be: a timeless cypress mixed with juniper berries, fig sweetness, and the cleanest, most transparent, ozonic part a young vetiver brings, touching unexplored territories. Without it, it wouldn’t be the wonder it is. It seems like the green version of Intimately by Beckham. It’s semi-linear, very refined and ‘zesty’, with a slight green forest character, works wonderfully in any season. Decent longevity and very good if applied on clothes, medium-low projection, but after several hours you feel it envelops you. After trying it well in different seasons, I bought a second bottle of this despised Gucci wonder, which touches similarities with CH Sport but is infinitely more refined, round, and classy. It’s expensive and discontinued, but worth every penny and found with some ease. A highly recommended 4X4.

Neither like nor dislike it. Bitter-menthol opening where cypress, cardamom, and juniper berries appear. Finishes with vetiver. I don’t feel the fig. Quite passable to be a Gucci. Poor performance. For spring and summer, daytime. Moderate longevity. Soft trail.

Very distinctive scent with an Italian flair: smells like classic old-school fragrances with modern touches. In my opinion, it’s delicious; the blend reminds me of mint, almost like my favorite Colgate Herbal toothpaste. It opens with cypress, a signature note of the house, very well executed. As it dries down, it becomes citrusy with tangerine and a grapefruit base, then fig, berries, and a musky touch emerge. It closes with an almost imperceptible vetiver, sweet patchouli, cardamom, tobacco, and leather. A great fragrance in terms of aroma… but its longevity and projection are terrible. My skin lasts longer than average, and this doesn’t even make it past 4 hours before vanishing without a trace. There are better sports fragrances at this price point; even if they don’t smell the same, they perform much better.

Gucci by Gucci Sport was a disappointment; it smells like bland herbal water and isn’t worth the high price. The original is better, but this one fails on longevity.

I’ve had this for a while. It opens with a strong citrus burst that then settles into a spicy, citrusy note. It’s very sporty/casual and doesn’t last long on the skin; underneath, you can detect the wood and calm citrus. Personally, I don’t like distinguishing individual notes; I prefer to feel the fragrance as a whole. But with this one, being simple and direct, the notes are very easy to pick out. It’s a nice fragrance, nothing surprising in any stage, just a good perfume. Just my take, greetings.

I use my 30ml (Travel Spray) of Gucci by Gucci Sport and I can say something: I think I’ve found the leitmotif of ‘Sport’ fragrances. Basically, they’re just a ‘citricization’ of their originals. The same goes for Allure Homme Sport or L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Sport. In this version, the unique bergamot of the original is replaced by tangerine and grapefruit, a very pleasant mix. But I’ll warn you: in both versions, there’s an undeclared lavender note. Anyway, this version feels more familiar to me, leaning closer to Allure Homme Sport than the original Gucci. It’s not very unique, maybe that will stop the demanding buyer. I like it because I like it, and because it’s Gucci. As a flanker, I think it’s worthy. For insiders and collectors.

I tried this fragrance out of curiosity since I love the original. It’s citrusy and light, and although it’s not the original, I liked it enough to consider it worth it.
