I love the trend in high end brands toward exploration of modern pattern and design. Half of the reason that I tend to covet particular products is for the packaging! Sometimes, for me, a collectible item is simply a pretty, pretty bottle in a pretty, pretty box. So, I have to admit that I was initially attracted to the Gucci Envy Me line for the cool packaging and pattern work.

The line now features both Envy Me and its “sequel”, Envy Me 2, both light, feminine perfumes. The original Envy Me plays to those who love light fruity florals, while Envy Me 2 is an earthier floral, with notes of Sandalwood and Patchouli.

Envy Me fragrance notes: Peony, Jasmine, Pink Pepper, Litchi, Pomegranate, Pineapple, Pink Musk, Seringa, White Tea, Sandalwood, Teakwood, Sensual Musk
