Gucci Made To Measure Eau De Toilette

The fragrance I am reviewing today really took me by surprise. It took me a few moments to adjust to the opening notes but it managed to reel me in quickly.

Meet Gucci's new Made to Measure!


Name: Gucci 구찌 Made to Measure 메이드 투 메져 Eau de Toilette 오 드 뚜왈렛
Price: RM 252 for 50 ml
Made in: UK

ღ The Fragrance
Made to Measure is a clean, refreshing and slightly flowery fragrance that somehow borders on gourmand (promise I was not starving when I plastered my nose to my wrist!). It is one of those scents that I can't stop smelling when I am wearing it.

At a glance:-
◆ Top notes: Calabrian Bergamot, Tunisian Orange Flower, French Lavender, Anis Seed
◆ Heart notes: Sri Lankan Nutmeg, Water Lily, Juniper Berry, Plum, Cinnamon
◆ Base notes: Cistus Labdanum, Patchouli, Leather, Amber

With notes of Tunisian Orange Flower, Water Lily and Plum I can understand why it would appeal to both sexes. To be clear, it is still a man's fragrance, but one that you would want to share with him.


ღ The Flacon
It arrives in a weighty glass flacon with hand-brushed golden accents. The cap, decorated by the iconic horsebit, is sturdy, and lends credence to the stylish image Gucci is trying to portray.
