Our take
What does Gucci Pour Homme II smell like?
Launched by Gucci in 2007, Gucci Pour Homme II became a favourite among enthusiasts thanks to its unusual structure built around black tea. The opening pairs green, slightly metallic violet leaf with bergamot for a discreet, elegant freshness. The heart brings in smoky black tea surrounded by cinnamon and pimento, which add spiced warmth. The base of tobacco, myrrh, musk and olive wood contributes a resinous, faintly fruity softness with a refined woody dryness. The whole evokes a quiet tearoom, spice tins and mellow pipe tobacco. It is a warm, nuanced masculine, less showy than most scents of its time.
When to wear it
Office or evening wear, especially in cool weather; it suits fans of elegant, discreet spicy masculines.
It belongs to the Woody, Spicy family. Gucci Pour Homme II is one of 6 creations by Gucci in our encyclopedia.
