Inspired by Goultier 2 - Jp Goultier(womens 187)

I was introduced to the original Goultier 2 by my partner as it was a unisex perfume. Unfortunately it had been discontinued. When I found it in the Palermo range, I originally bought it for him but have kept it for myself. The Palermo version is “spot on”. It is my go to day scent and have had many many compliments….. “Intoxicating” being one of them.
Thank you, please don’t ever stop making this one.

This is an earthy amber musk. A touch of incense. I cannot detect any vanilla. The dry down is animalic musk and sandalwood. This leans masculine. I was hoping for something a bit sweeter, but this is not sweet, so if you are seeking a gourmand touch this is not the one. It is not vanilla forward at all/if any.
I will give it to my boyfriend and this will be great on him as it it unisex/masculine-leaning.
For what it is, it is beautiful and enjoyable. But unfortunately, it's just not what I expected based on the Notes and the label of Women.
Reading from the description of OG 2005 gaultier 2, this does seem to be quite a different creature. Perhaps this is somewhere between 2005 and 2022 Gaultier 2.

This was originally a unisex scent and they discontinued it.

Bought it for my partner as he used to wear it 17 years ago... love it.

Even the little paper stick that we sprayed the tester on has filled the house.
