gucci bamboo edp review

Pictured: c/o Gucci Bamboo eau de parfum / travel size purse spray

Gucci Bamboo edp is the hot new fragrance from iconic design house Gucci. This sweet floral fragrance is feminine, modern, and complex. Although the scent does not resemble actual bamboo, as the name suggests, the overall fragrance experience is sweet; yet balanced out by the sandalwood and amber base. Love!

Bamboo by Gucci has a long lasting fragrance experience which is complex. The slightly fruity top, layered with a hearty, warm and sweet floral heart, anchored by a woody base, gives this perfume the perfect balance between woods, and florals. Love that!

Top notes: Italian Bergamot, Orange Blossom

Middle notes (heart): Casablanca Lily, Ylang-Ylang

Base notes: Sandalwood, Tahitian Vanilla, Amber

Gucci Bamboo is the perfect fragrance for the spring and summer seasons. The combination of woods, and florals, lends well to both moderate, and hot temperatures. The overall fragrance experience is medium strength; which allows Gucci Bamboo edp to be appropriate for the office, luncheons, evening occasions, and weekends.

If you are looking for the perfect summer birthday gift, or a graduation present, Gucci Bamboo edp is a great option! The gift set can be found online here. The perfume is available in a variety of sizes, as well as a travel size. She will love it!

I absolutely love the travel size of Gucci Bamboo eau de parfum. It is perfect for my carry-on when I am traveling by air, and it is also ideal for slipping into a weekend bag for a short road trip. Not only is it the perfect, TSA approved size, the packaging is beautiful! The travel size is pictured above with a full bottle, don’t you just love the pretty bamboo styling! I love it! I cannot wait to keep this bottle with me for all of my upcoming summer trips; as well as fashion week in September! It’s perfection.

Gucci Bamboo eau de parfum can be found online here, here, and here. The purse spray can be found online here.

Gucci Dark Anemone nail polish for spring summer 2016

Gucci has released their spring/summer 2016 color collection, and it is fabulous; with a bit of a bad girl vibe. The collection includes two lipstick hues, an eye shadow duo, and one amazing nail polish color. Love!

For the nails, Gucci Dark Anemone nail polish is a dark, grey-purple hue which is surprisingly easy to wear with a spring, or summer, color palette. At first glance, the color appears to be a autumn hue.

This troubled me when I first looked at the color; I feared it would clash with my spring pastels, and summer brights. I was wrong! Dark Anemone by Gucci blends well with pastels, giving them a grown up feel. When paired with bright summer hues, Dark Anemone tones them down; adding a bit of mystery. Love that!

What I love about Gucci Dark Anemone nail polish, is that it is a great alternative to neutral polish. It blends seamlessly with any color combination in my outfits, making it as easy to wear as a nude polish. I definitely see myself wearing this color in lieu of blue when I need more versatility this spring in my nail polish color.

I tested out Gucci Dark Anemone nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. The polish lasted six days before chipping. This is a good run! I look forward to wearing this polish sporadically throughout the spring and summer seasons.

Have you seen the lipstick colors Gucci is offering for spring/summer 2016? Although I have already filled in my spring lipstick wardrobe, I am tempted to pick up both of these hues. Aren’t they pretty! Carnation is definitely calling my name; and Lilac looks perfect for a night on the town. Oh the temptation!

Gucci Dark Anemone nail polish, and the spring/summer 2016 color collection, can be found online here.

gucci guilty after shave fathers day gift idea

After-Shave c/o Gucci. Gucci Guilty pour homme after-shave.

Gucci Guilty pour homme after-shave is a classic scent from Gucci for men. The after-shave itself instantly calms the skin after an electric shave, or manual shave. In addition to calm skin, the fragrance experience is crisp, warm, and everything a man should smell like. Love that!

Top notes: zesty lemon, cool lavender, spicy pink pepper.

Middle notes: orange blossom

Base notes: patchouli, cedar, sandalwood, and amber

Gucci Guilty pour homme after-shave offers a warm citrus fragrance experience which ends the day with a warm, woody base. The light, spicy zing from pink pepper combines with lemon and orange blossom to create the ideal fragrance experience for moderate to warm weather. It is refreshing and warm; all at the same time!

I tested out Gucci Guilty pour homme after-shave on my husband. It calmed his skin after he shaved with an electric razor. The overall fragrance experience throughout the day was refreshing, crisp, warm, and inviting. Loved it!

Gucci Guilty pour homme after-shave will make a great gift for Father’s Day, or any upcoming, gift-giving occasion! Five out of five stars 😉
