Today I am going to review a perfume
gift set that I bought from Boots.com during their Boxing Day sales 2014. It is
the GUCCI Miniatures Gift Set and it was exclusively sold in Boots stores and
on Boots.com. I love the concept of mini perfume sets and it’s a shame that not
more brands do them! You get to sample more scents from brands, and if there is
a certain perfume you are interested in, you would be able to sample it before
potentially wasting your money buying a full size bottle of a scent you might
not like. In this particular set you get five (5ml) mini fragrances to sample
and I actually already bought a full size of the Guilty scent, but waited until
I got this set to test it! A big gamble I know, but it did pay off this time!
Here are the five miniature bottles of scents included:-
FLORA BY GUCCI
The bottle is so cute and with a little
ribbon bow too. The notes contained in this little bottle are; citrus, peony,
mandarin, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood, patchouli and pink pepper. It smells
really light and florally. It comes across strong when first applied, but then
it settles down and smells delicate. I do quite like this scent, although I
wouldn’t re-purchase it as it comes across a bit mature. I give this perfume
4/5.

GUCCI GUILTY
The bottle design is simple but lovely
to look at. It contains the notes, mandarin, pink pepper, peach, lilac,
geranium, amber and patchouli. To me it smells quite fruity and the floral
notes give it that sexy scent. I am actually a little in love with this scent
and I am glad that I also bought it in a full size bottle (before trying). It
smells quite strong when first applied, but settles a little after, but you can
still smell it yourself. I give this perfume 5/5.
GUCCI GUILTY BLACK
The bottle design is a near copy of the
Guilty scent, but darker in design. The notes included in this scent are; pink
pepper, red berries, raspberry, peach, violet, lilac, patchouli and amber. It
smells a lot like the Guilty version, but this one smells more floral and comes
across more deep, like you’d expect a night time fragrance to be. I do really
like this scent, but I wouldn’t pick it over the regular Guilty version. I give
this perfume 4/5.
GUCCI PREMIÈRE
The bottle is simple, squared and block
gold. The notes included are; bergamot, blackberry, white flowers, musk, orange
blossom, wood, patchouli and sandalwood. It smells quite floral and the musk
stands out the most. It is quite a strong scent when first applied, but it does
dry down nicely to a warming floral scent. There is a slightly different eau de
toilette version of this scent below. I give this perfume 5/5.
GUCCI PREMIÈRE (EAU DE TOILETTE)
The bottle for this scent is the same
as the eau de parfum, but the glass is transparent and you can see the liquid
perfume. The notes slightly differ to the eau de parfum; bergamot, orange
blossom, champagne, Bulgarian rose, freesia, jasmine, musk, patchouli, wood and
leather. It smells really light, but not delicate. It has a strong floral
scent, but it is not overpowering and actually smells kind of classy. It smells
a lot like the eau de parfum in the way that they share the same floral notes,
but they do smell different and most notably the fact that the eau de toilette
doesn’t contain musk as a note. I actually like both versions of the scent, but
if I had to pick one, I would probably choose the original/eau de parfum
version. I give this perfume 5/5.
Overall this is a really great sample
gift set and I wish more brands did this for their fragrances, especially the
more expensive brands. My favourite fragrance from the set is definitely
Guilty! I do like the other four scents, but Guilty is the only one I would re-purchase
myself (already have!).
