It’s amazing how they can get scents so spot on. I’ve tried many before and always been impressed. However the real Gucci ii no longer exists and is so unique I didn’t think they could nail it. But they did! This smells identical to Gucci ii. I still have the real thing, about half a large bottle. Very annoyed I didn’t stock up as I wasn’t aware of it being discontinued. The scent does change a little as the day goes on & loses its power fairly quickly on the skin, but does seem to stick in clothes etc. Happy to have this for regular use so I can save the real thing for special occasions. Thank you!
