Sophisticated Charm

Closest to Gucci II I've been able to find. Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is because as close as it is, it's just not 100%. Now if I were rating Sophisticated Charm on it's own, as opposed to doing a comparative, I would absolutely give it 5 stars without hesitation. I layer Sophisticated Charm with "Him" by Hanae Mori to add a bit more depth to the scent. If someone could match Gucci II exactly, I would buy a truck load of it, but until then, I'll be a return customer for Sophisticated Charm, over and over, as I have.

I've never smelled the original but this cologne is amazing! Very classic. I would describe it as a fresh but spicy scent. The black tea note is prominent and the musk/tobacco helps ground the smell from being too fresh/aquatic. Definitely planning on buying the largest size next!
