    Real talk

    Gucci pour Homme does not try to impress, and that restraint is exactly why it works. The woody-amber drydown with frankincense and vetiver feels expensive without being loud.Gucci pour Homme (2003)
    The rum-lavender combo walks into a bar and orders something nobody else has heard of. Sweet enough to pull you in, dry enough to keep you guessing. That's the whole appeal.Marc O'Polo Midsummer Man
