Gucci, Envy For Men - Review

Long discontinued and now seemingly priced at "luxury niche" level when you can find one, i did wonder whether this was one of those "smells great because it's discontinued" scents, or actually worthy of the hype.
I am sure i have subscribers who know this scent well, would love your thoughts.

[@RichMitch]

I love vintage designer, it's where I'm at in my "journey" at the moment. The thrill of the chase is so good

[@spymash3746]

Gone, but never forgotten. My all time favourite designer scent and nothing comes close even to this day. Thanks for the review Pep and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Buona giornata! P.s CLONES NOOOOOO!

[@TheScentinel]

I agree on the clones, but if someone was able to get close to this one i'd be tempted.

[@JONATHAN-db2ry]

If all the videos I've watched ( many) I've not seen anyone take time to give this an in depth review... Thank you for this... Wouldn't mind if you visited more vintage or discontinued fragrances. I love your description style Pep. Have a great day.

[@m.s.biteth1164]

Ah yes, this is one of my sigs. I have multiple bottles of both the aftershave balm and the various other sizes. I am obsessed with collecting Envy. I also have the shave gel and deoderants. Yes, those are not cheap, but frags are my collector cars.

[@c4hI0fo2p]

I sadly gave mine away to a friend when I left the states. It has always been one of my all time favorites...and always will be. For some reason, not sure if it’s just nostalgia or what, but the scent of Envy has resonated with me from the first time ever smelling it. Oddly enough I’ll never forget the moment either. When I purchased my first bottle I was lucky enough to get my hands on one the deodorants as well. I tried my best to resist the urge to use it but that went out the window after some time. I do wish they’d bring it back. Such good memories within that bottle of luscious lemon-lime tinted fluid.

[@SADPIZZA777]

I've found one in my father's collections, even tho I'm 20 yo and some people think that this fragrance is outdated, I must say IT'S A CLASSIC MASTERPIECE.

[@J_M_E_83]

Gucci Envy is one of the best ever, it's just perfect.

[@raulsaavedra709]

Yes it would be really great if clone houses worked on some of the great classics that are no longer available. One that always comes to mind is YSL Rive Gauche.

[@jayserafico3848]

My very first Gucci envy for men was in 1997,and it's expensive back in the day!! to tell you guys,honestly, it remained inside the region of my brain , just by the mention of Gucci envy triggers the senses!! When I wear Gucci,you feel very confident,you feel like you can go where ever you want,when you walk past people,crowds,the scent you carry makes them all aware , turning their heads trying to identify that SCENT,which is GuCCI !!!

[@usel11]

My signature scent for many years, just before I've found RL Polo.

[@MatterAndForm]

One of the rare cases where I like the women’s version better, which sadly left with Tom Ford as well. The bottle I bought from Ebay unfortunately smells off, so I am not gonna risk it anymore and let it go. There are so many beautiful perfumes out there... Anyway, thank you for the fantastic review!

[@RuiPina]

I also prefer the women version. More distinct

[@darthdeluxe_1]

I had this fragrance in 1998 and i fell in Love with Envy for men....since today. In my oppinion is EfM the Quintessence of spicey/Woody fragrances.

[@darthdeluxe_1]

I know there are many Dupes/Clones outhere, but they are Sooo expensive...Niche Stuff. I want a cheap Clone. I found one that is called "New Brand - Xpression". But I don't know how it smells.

[@michaeleddy1979]

One of my favorite fragrance. Missed it

[@coreymichael1880]

My grandfather had a bottle in his bedroom on top of his wardrobe. Untouched for years. I stayed with him for a month and I used to sneak a few sprays before work every morning. I was in love with myself every morning going to work haha. I should really ask him if I can have it as he never uses it. But it’s been 4 years now.

[@zrocks2001]

great great review of a great great cologne 👍 Gucci rush was great too

[@signorinabohemia3140]

Great review of the “legend” Pep!

[@TheScentinel]

😊🙏

[@thatcologneguy446]

This one is really nice. I was lucky to come across half a bottle for cheap. Smells very classy and smooth. A real gentleman scent.

[@tijlvanhooff]

For anyone missing Envy like myself , pick up Eclat 642 from Germany. This is truly a killer Gucci envy clone. I have the original and it's hard to tell the difference for me, especially once the dry-down kicks in. I was so glad to discover this as it's my all time favorite and am now wearing it again daily. Longevity is insane, better, then the original. Try it!

[@rubencarrera2225]

I thought about buying eclat 642. I hope it smell similar. 👍

[@justaddlight]

Definitely one of the reasons I don't mind clones. As long as the get it right, it serves the original brand right for discontinuing one of their best. I'm sure someone has mentioned Carven's Homme in the comments as an alternative (a stellar frag on its own), but even that one has become difficult to find. Glad I have a bottle, but in all honesty, I should've picked up a backup. That one is on me.

[@smellgreat7864]

Nice review I wish it was still available :-( just did a review of Floris Santal which I think is the best alternative I have found so far which is affordably priced and still available.

[@steliosc.4686]

I like Envy and i do enjoy it every time i wear it but my favorite will always be Gucci pour homme. So perfectly well blended. A review on that by you would be great Pep.

[@TheScentinel]

If i ever get my hands on a sample, i will.

[@steliosc.4686]

[@dspada67]

Love this scent. I was lucky enough to find a bottle in Hong Kong back in 2010 while I was doing a specialty coffee gig there. Could not believe my luck. Payed like 45 for 50 ml. Why did I only buy 1 bottle .😱😱😱

[@TheScentinel]

😬wow! Awesome find

This was my favorite. What's a good replacement?

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day

[@mesutkeskek2643]

I am dying to smell some Envy or similar one about 7 years but no chance. And some people says Gucci Nobile was better thanks god i do not know how it smells

[@TheScentinel]

It is sometimes a goodthing to not have smelled these discontinued perfumes

[@ezzymedina8794]

I got Gucci Envy for christmas when I was 16. My girlfriends HATED it. But their mothers?--different story.

[@TheScentinel]

😁

[@sigmamayo]

I owned this years ago. I was moving and needed to downscale, so I was stressed and haphazardly throwing away a lot of stuff. Long story short - I chucked a 3/4rds-full bottle of Gucci Envy. Regrets...

[@TheScentinel]

😬

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

I found a bottle of Gucci Envy for men, but I don’t know what’s reasonable to pay or offer for it? Any thoughts?

[@TheScentinel]

Have you smelled it? I wouldn't pay more than 150 usd for it, and i like it.

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

The Scentinel For 100ml? Or 50ml?

[@TheScentinel]

@@The_Babbling_Brooks 100ml. But it really depends how much you love it.

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

The Scentinel Yeah the one I found is asking $300 for 100ml which seems way too high.

[@TheScentinel]

@@The_Babbling_Brooks it is to me

[@HUMAN-xh4pb]

I still have the original... hardly used. But unfortunately for me it’s a grail that l wouldn’t let go. Atleast for a cheap price. 😁👍😉

[@misteranderson3418]

What size do you have and how much would you sale it for ?

[@midnightmover2329]

I’ve got 2 100ml bottles Pep.I’m never going to get into the second bottle.If you want to trade something,cool it’s yours.

[@TheScentinel]

@@midnightmover2329 that is a really generous offer, but i am afraid shipping bottles between our countries would be too high risk. Customs here have opened my packages and stopped them.

[@midnightmover2329]

The Scentinel No problem Pep.I only offered to trade because I knew you would appreciate it.You like the stuff and it’s very hard to get for a half decent price these days.

Worth 40 quid for 25ml? Someone has offered me it

Hmm, well i'd be tempted. But if you don't like the scent it's never going to be worth it.

It happens

[@robseibertgulfcoastrealest3243]

To my nose, Gucci Envy is at the top of my dislike list. I received it as a gift, shelved it, sold it.

[@Blowmeagain]

I enjoy Envy but I prefer the original Carven Homme and Floris Santal. They all have many similarities. Carven Homme is discontinued and going for crazy prices like Envy. You can get Floris Santal at a great price. Excellent review. Peace

[@TheScentinel]

I have a sample of the Floris coming to me soon, so i am very interested to see what it's like.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

@@TheScentinel I just picked up Floris's Discovery Set for $55 . 4x14ml . Not a bad price for the set. Floris has's sales often . I did sample their Santal, it came in the discovery set. The spice reminds me of a Bon perfume. I don't remember which one. I thought Santal had patchouli in it ? It's not listed . What do I know . 🙃

[@smellgreat7864]

Yes 100% agree
