The Envy of FOMO | Gucci Envy Inspiration

[@GoukitoX]

I was looking for a review from one of the bigger channels yesterday when I received my bottle in the mail from FragranceBuy. Shout out to Fragrancebuy for delivering on Sundays!! I too am glad that "one of us" is the first to review the fragrance. I really like it, but didn't have any experience with the former Gucci fragrance. It was a tough one to describe for me, because I couldn't smell any of the indicated notes, but I really like it. The bottle screams green, earthy, herbal...but I see it more of a dark, bold, night or cold season scent. Something about it gives me hints of old school Drakkar with a smooth twist. I need a little more time with it to give my own official review. I'm so glad I jumped on the Pre-sale as well. Great review sir. You've earned a new subscriber. Hopefully more people will gravitate to this review as you are the first for this new frag. 👍🏾

@@GoukitoX Thanks so much. Appreciate the feedback.

[@shmoopiebear]

If this smells like Drakkar, I might as well get an updated Drakkar flanker. It's in the same price range as this clone dupe. Thanks for the feedback on this one.

[@M_Ladd]

I really can not see how you could never smell something and compare something you can smell to something you never smelled and say it is 85%. That is total BS. Seriously? I would not recommend this Fomo to anyone. It's not worth the price I paid, and not special in any way. It's ok, and that's all. I was dumb enough to buy all four!

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@M_Ladd It is not that I have never smelled Gucci Envy, it is that I do not have it now. I was very transparent on that fact. I also said that I was going off of memory. If it is not for you, I respect your opinion.

[@kevincarr1638]

I got in on the per release and have my bottle as well. Nice to see you are the first review on it

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@kevincarr1638 Nice. What did you think?

[@m.houston6643]

I don’t do clones, but I am going to make an exception here. I have always wanted to try this DNA. Very affordable in my book, so worth a shot.

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@m.houston6643 Clones of discontinued fragrances can really help to get your hands on the scent DNA.

[@m.houston6643]

@@TheFragranceConnoisseursexactly. In this case I don’t mind it. Eager to try it. And it’s crazy because you could buy a gallon of this stuff for the secondary market prices 😂

[@louisthompson5281]

Excellent review, my Brother. Peace and Love.

@@louisthompson5281 Appreciate the view and feedback.

I need to check this one out excellent review fam

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@SUITSANDSCENTS Always appreciate you.

[@Scorp3348]

🔥review gonna try to get my nose on it 💪🏽💪🏽

[@danielbelik]

Just received it. OMG this is so good... I never tried Gucci Envy, but I see why it was so popular back in the years. It hits with a pepper and eucalyptus burst, almost medicinal, like a cough candy smell, but mellows down soon to extremely pleasant, fresh and very masculine barbershop notes. Doesn't feel outdated to me, but it definitely has some classic cologne vibe in it. It has some resemblance to Dior EAU Sauvage, it plays in the same league.

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@danielbelik Glad you like it. I have been enjoying it myself.

[@Mr.Cologne]

Sounds AMAZING

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@Mr.Cologne It’s pretty good for an interpretation of Gucci Envy which has been discontinued.

[@CgScents]

I got the Envy of Fomo coming in if it’s good I’m selling my Gucci Envy 😅.

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@CgScents Wow 😮. You will have to update me on what you think. 😂

[@CgScents]

@@TheFragranceConnoisseurs I’m gonna post a video for sure I got an old pre-reform Envy (yellow juice) and a newer one (green juice) I’ll compare all 3. You’re right tho, the Envy is too expensive there hasn’t been a good substitute and I always wished there’d be one because that Envy DNA is just so wearable and unique.

Wassup charm tuned in

@@Cellynoseitall Thanks 🙏🏾 Celly.

[@MrGoodsalesman]

just got this, it very nice.

[@G.K-o6g]

better say how can we get this?

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@G.K-o6g You can only get this from Fragrancebuy.ca. The price has actually increased a bit. It is about $45 now.

It wasn't the boss fragrance of the time. It was worn by all types of club mugs and other heathens of the time. If a girl woke up after a one night stand and the guy was gone, most likely her sheets and pillow still smelled of envy lol. Anyways, i have the original still and just ordered this. I'll be back when i hey it to see how close it is. Every clone I've tried so far had been lack luster.

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@ericcius1498 😂 My fond memories about this fragrance crushed. Definitely since you have it still, let me know what you think and how close do you think they got.

[@danielbelik]

Yeah, it would be interesting if you compare and let us know.

[@ericcius1498]

Okay I've worn this twice already since getting it. Stays well over 8+ hours, strong projection for the first 1-1/2ish hours so very decent performance. As to compare with the original, it's actually closer to the first edition of envy. If you didn't know the original underwent a reformulation while still in production with the first version being more dense and spicier. The Fomo gets a touch sweeter in the dry down than the envy but that's fine. I've tried numerous clones of envy and they just end of getting shelved and collecting dust. This is great stuff.

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@ericcius1498 Really appreciate the in depth comparison. Nice to know when someone actually has the fragrance on hand. I was just going off of memory and the thoughts on the FOMO one. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@Mr.Cologne]

First in the comments

[@ComeUnboxWithTheresa]

Another dupe for the win..

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@ComeUnboxWithTheresa Definitely. It performs really well.

[@ComeUnboxWithTheresa]

@@TheFragranceConnoisseurs Sounds like it does.

[@ChefNut82]

How do you know if it’s a good inspiration if you don’t have the original… 😂 how can you even say that lol

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@ChefNut82 I did state that it was based on memory. I am not going to pay $200+ for a half used bottle that could be bad. I can say it is good in its own right if you think that is a more accurate answer. I have had it in the past.

[@ChefNut82]

@@TheFragranceConnoisseurs I just thought it was funny and wanted to give you a hard time bro. Don’t take it too serious or personal.

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@ChefNut82 It’s all good 👍🏾

[@danielbelik]

Nowadays, the fragrance clones are getting very very close to original. I'm very impressed by Maison Alhambra TF clones. Didn't try FOMO yet, but I heard a lot of good about this brand.

[@Twizzler300]

​@danielbelik fomo is a great brand. Good quality too. I don't have this or the grand soir clone, but I have the other 2. For 30$ it doesn't get much better, I want to try this, need a spicey green

[@M_Ladd]

I give it a 2, and do notbuy unless it is $20 or less.

[@TheFragranceConnoisseurs]

@@M_Ladd I respect the fact that you didn’t like the fragrance.
