Gucci will introduce Gucci Pour Homme II next March:
Woody and spicy...The scent has top notes of bergamot and violet leaves, a heart of pimento, black tea and cinnamon and base notes of olive wood, tobacco leaves, musk and myrrh. [Markus] Strobel said the formula is aimed at hitting "the sweet spot" between providing a "fresh, easy to wear' ambience, "a masculine sensuality" and a "distinct, memorable" sensation. (via Women's Wear Daily)
Gucci Pour Homme II will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching grooming products. Update: see a review of Gucci Pour Homme II.
“Fresh, easy to wear” puts me off. Not another indistinct woody-spicy cologne, I hope. Plus, Tom Ford isn't with Gucci anymore…
Agree, although the notes sound nice. We'll see! That bottle looks like a nail polish to me though…
R: I like the bottle…it is heavy!…and held correctly it could knock someone OUT or worse (has a perfume bottle EVER been used as a murder weapon on 'CSI', 'Law & Order'? If not, WHY NOT?
When I saw the photo though I immediately thought: “I've NEVER liked a blue-tinted cologne.” Kevin
There is at least one blue perfume I like — Lancome Mille et Une Rose, although it wasn't blue when it was first released. For some reason, I don't like the idea of blue perfume, although pink & purple have certainly been overused in the women's market lately.
And LOL — yes — you could kill somebody with that thing. Now I'll have to give some thought to which perfume would make the *best* murder weapon….
I don't like blue juses either, and I don't fancy the new bottle, although I love the old one, and the jus, of course
And the amber color of the jus — OK, I'll stop now.
The notes do sound nice-ish but I'm wary of the violet leaves. But as you say, we'll see…
This chunkster would definitely make a good murder weapon, but I guess some perfumes might, too.
D: The one I'm wearing today could stun a moose. I shall review it next month. K
K, LOL at the visual! Pray tell, which one is it? I have to know!
That would ruin the surprise, K (if you MUST know, write me at my email and I'll tell you),
K: Okay, okay, you're right – I shouldn't spoil the surprise for you or me.
It's just that I'm terribly impatient by nature, but I'll check myself this time. I did, however, jot down your email – just in case. 
And man, hurry up with that review!
I'm feeling awfully judgemental ths morning, but I read the notes, and had to stifle a yawn at another men's frag opening with bergamot. I'd like to see more exploration beyond citrusy/woodsy (all too often lapsing into Irish Spring) men's scents. And while heavy bottles are pretty, I invariably drop them onto a delicate toe.
But I haven't had coffee yet, and I mellow out once the caffeine monkey is off of my back.
On my 3rd cup of tea, so still think the tea & cinnamon & pepper could turn out nice…but if you are right about the Irish Spring, I'll be disappointed too!
It smells almost exactly like Essenza di Zegna.
Thanks. Can't even remember Essenza & will have to go digging around to see if I have a sample.
