Gucci for Men hits you with notes from bergamot, cypress, and violet. The middle layer plays host to tobacco and jasmine, while patchouli, amber, leather, and Elemi resin lie at the bottom layer. Meantime, the resin component adds to the EDT’s intensity and endurance.

Gucci EDT is a gorgeous cologne. Tobacco accords hold the main attraction, their light aroma adding confidence to any man wearing this cologne. If you need a new scent, Gucci by Gucci comes highly recommended. It makes a perfect addition to any collection, after all, it’s one of the best Gucci perfumes for men.

While you can don Gucci by Gucci during the daytime, it shines amazingly after dusk. Don’t worry about overwhelming people nearby since the woodsy scent doesn’t project strongly. Longevity is decent too, but don’t expect beast mode performance.

Gucci Guilty Oud Review

Legendary perfumer Alberto Morillas is the man behind this best Gucci cologne for men, classified as an amber woody fragrance. He reinterpreted oud resin into a trendy, unforgettable, and mysterious composition by blending it with fruity and earthy accords.

A stroll through a wooded forest inspired Morillas to create this fragrance. Upon opening, top notes of blackberry, sweet rose, and pink pepper burst out. They are complemented by earthy accents from patchouli and Cypriol oil and anchored by leather, dark ambery notes, and natural Oud. The result is an exotic, sultry, smoky, sensual, and leathery aroma, underpinning Guilty Oud’s romantic aura.

Guilty Oud entered the market in 2018. The pleasant, non-offensive fragrance conjures a walk through nature and pairs well with spring. Wear it for a casual evening out, a candlelit dinner, or  

even to the office. It’s that versatile.
