Robin,
Apparently this scent is very close to the long gone Gucci Pour Homme from 2003, also developed by Michel Almairac.
He stayed true to the notes and now fans don’t have to scour eBay for old bottles that cost a fortune.
I would love to try it!
I tried it last year when (I think) Benjamin and Michel were still fiddling with it. B told me that it would be coming out ‘soon’ – and yes, it really does smell very similar indeed to the original Gucci pour Homme, though with a slight ‘twist’.
Oh, that is VERY interesting. I loved that scent.
