A refined and absorbing fragrance with a cool, tea-centric character that evokes a quiet sophistication. The opening features a bright citric note from bergamot paired with an airy ozonic quality, bringing forward a crisp, clean elegance. Black tea forms the heart, layered with a delicate balance of cinnamon, violet leaves, and pimento, creating a smooth and herbal core that feels both restrained and deeply textured. The base settles into a soft, warm musk with subtle tobacco and olive tree, lending depth without dominance. Though the sillage is moderate and projection fades to a skin scent within hours, its longevity remains reliable—lasting around eight hours with a steady, gentle presence. The scent is more herbaceous than the original Gucci Pour Homme II, offering slightly better performance, greater depth, and a more layered evolution, all while maintaining a cool, unobtrusive demeanor. It works best in spring and autumn, with an ideal fit for daytime wear and relaxed settings, where its quiet charm can shine.
