Since the first Fahrenheit by Dior, I haven’t found anything so special. Leather, leather, and more leather. Just like in Fahrenheit, where the violet notes give that ‘gasoline’ touch, I don’t know what it is here, or if it’s the mix of all the notes that gives me a vibe like an old-fashioned mechanic’s workshop… I don’t know how to describe it, but I love it. It seems like a brilliant aroma that deserves to go down in perfume history.
Somewhere they said it smells like a stable, and it’s exactly that; it’s a very animal leather. The patchouli stands out a lot in the final middle phase. It’s a work of art from a realistic point of view; that is, recreating a very real leather smell that hasn’t been treated yet, or an animal in its cage.
To wear this fragrance, you need bulletproof personality. Ninety per cent of people won’t like it. More than that, 95% of the women you cross paths with won’t like it, but you’ll probably be prepared for that and for the comment that you smell like freshly polished shoes. People (and especially women) don’t like challenging or niche aromas. Most prefer Bleu de Chanel, Dior Sauvage, and Acqua Di Gio. However, if you chose this fragrance and wear it anyway because you want to be different from the herd, you’re in the right place. Of course, to wear it, you need some leather in your outfit (and no, a bracelet isn’t enough). It’s also clear that this is impossible to wear in climates that aren’t cold (unless you want to drown). I’ve always reflected that when you dress, you want to project an image. Those who say they don’t choose what they wear also want to project an image, after all, they chose those garments for a reason. The same goes for perfumes; in the case of Gucci Guilty Absolute, if you chose it, it’s for a reason.
There are no half-measures here; it’s the fragrance of the ‘no’s’. If you want to please the average neurotypical, it’s not your fragrance; if you want to perfume yourself for a date without knowing the other person well, it’s not your fragrance; if you believe perfuming yourself is only for receiving compliments, it’s not your fragrance; if you believe visiting a cobbler is just approaching a piece of furniture to store shoes, it’s not your fragrance; if you think polishing shoes, bags, or leather jackets is something for old, greasy people, it’s not your fragrance; if you’re vegan, you won’t like this; if you’re one of those whose sweat smells like roses, buy gym clothes, pair them with sports shoes, and at least once take a selfie in the changing rooms for Instagram, it’s not your fragrance; if your iPhone is the second thing you love after the new exhaust on your tuned ‘Buga’, Gucci Guilty Absolute is an option for the leather seats you bought but not for personal use. Monolithic fragrance, with an unmistakable entry of vegetable-tanned bovine leather where the polish hasn’t removed the aroma of tannins. Something unlikely that young or middle-aged people in developed countries have known: it smells like a shoe store and luxury leather goods store, those places where once the guarantee that the garment would outlive you went hand in hand with the fact that the craftsman made it by hand and adapted it to your body. I don’t know if such a store exists today, though there must be; nowadays it’s not stylish for the customer to perceive leather smells that smell like luxury leather. What about the patchouli, cypress, and base notes? Fine, thanks, and send regards from the underworld. Feminine, masculine…? That matters little; it’s so feminine that your bifid lips, your gangster Russian tattoos, and your Tarzan-like walk will, at best, bore her to death; it’s so masculine that your enviable silhouette, your privileged intelligence, and your rock-solid morals will convince her that it’s better to go talk to the ‘glasses’ girl who knows Baudelaire and has put on a few kilos; in other words, it doesn’t matter, concentrate on the person you are and show integrity, because that person is enjoying the moment and their fragrance. The time to wear Gucci Guilty Absolute is never, as it’s ideal for whenever you wish, especially since they’ve capped the projection so it won’t bother anyone unless you’re so selfish you want to act like an idiot. Acceptable duration for the price asked. One of the best things I’ve bought, truth be told.
Your obsession with the impossible love. Part 1: You have something with those stories of impossible romances. In the cinema, in books, in real life. Like when you fell in love with that Colombian living 2,939 km away, or when you loved trying with older women to savour affairs destined for failure. There is something about the impossible that fascinates you. Couldn’t you fall in love with Dior Sauvage or something with longer staying power? You had to fall in love with another discontinued fragrance. Another love that is about to expire… Gucci Guilty Absolute. Part 2: It’s madness what you did; you bought the perfume blind, the one that everywhere invites you to try before spending money. Your background includes Ombre Leather, Tuscan Leather, and Irish Leather from Memo ‘It’s another kind of leather’ that you’ve read. You open the box and a strong woody aroma hits you. Your expectations are high. You spray. It’s a kick to your nose. Gucci Guilty Absolute stamps your senses with leather and woods; it’s a dense, resinous aroma evoking roughness. It’s at 2 hours when patchouli reveals itself and when you perceive that animal part you can define as sexy sweat, like the sweat left after wearing a leather jacket in the heat. On your skin, you can perceive it after 8 hours and have slight bursts the next day. On clothes, it can last days. Indeed, it has a very cowboy air, yet it possesses a vintage elegance aura. It is with this perfume that you validate more than ever the rule that ‘without the right attitude, the perfume will use you, and not you the perfume’ (more or less the same words). Is it difficult? Yes. Is it usable? Of course? Outfit? Semi-formal, totally nocturnal; it looks perfect with a leather jacket (preferably old). Recommended? Only if you enjoy challenging aromas. Blind buy? Absolutely NO. Try a decant and use it for a few days before buying, but hurry up because yes, like everything good in life, it’s discontinued. What is it like? Dark Lord is almost similar but with a bit more body from the rum. The Voice of the Snake is very similar but with that heavy smoke aroma. It’s a whole olfactory experience. A sensory adventure. Your impossible love, your finite romance.
A kick of leather to the pear and a work of art. Pure, hard leather; it’s not Tom Ford with red fruits or white flowers; it smells like a mechanic’s workshop with a calendar of mines included. If your goal is to please women, don’t even think about it; put this on and you’ll be unforgettable, mate. It’s a perfume to enjoy for yourself, regardless of what others think.
Ignoring the recommendations and unable to try it in stores, I bought it blind. The opportunity came on Vinted UK, a black anagram seller, at a good price, brand new and sealed. I couldn’t be more satisfied. It is a new masterpiece by Mr Alberto Morillas. Nothing to do with the rest of the Gucci Guilty line; the sensible thing would have been another name. It doesn’t smell like a stable, a workshop, or a cleaner; it smells of genuine leather and prominent cypress. A mature, resolute, masculine, elegant fragrance with great character. It breaks moulds; indeed, it’s bold, and that is where its charm lies. It was probably not born for the masses but for minorities. The best in Gucci’s catalogue. They conceived a niche perfume at designer prices. Homogeneous, with little evolution; it becomes more woody, smoky, resinous, and leathery, but leather and cypress are always present. Lasts over 10 hours on skin and more than 2 hours of projection, which is notable. For confident wear in multiple occasions… and there I am, the absolute culprit. Not for summer unless you’re thinking of suicide, yes for the rest of the year. If you love leather, don’t hesitate. I don’t know if the current version has been reformulated. Rating for its boldness and quality: 9.5/10. Cheers.
It’s already a classic and will go down in history with all due merit. It’s wonderful—a distinct but exquisitely elegant leather. I don’t know about that myth of the workshop; I don’t see it. To me, it seems exquisite. It’s not a beast; it’s solid but not untamed. Anyway, it’s a delight. If you have charisma, this perfume multiplies it by a thousand. Go for it without fear.
Last night I sprayed Gucci Guilty Absolute. This morning I woke up with a desire to eat bolts and gasoline for breakfast. I brushed my teeth with my bike chain, put on a Siberian bear leather trousers, and headed to the UFC gym. I felt the urge to tattoo ‘Motorhead’ on my back. In the afternoon, I cut my hair with a rusty machete while downing a litre of kerosene mixed with Manchester fluid. I went to play football at the gangsters’ pavilion in Batán prison; I didn’t score any goals, but I fractured two rivals, the referee, the manager, and the linesman. I returned exhausted, cooked dinner for my little girl, and sang her to sleep. I think the effect of the GGA is wearing off.
Opens with a brutal leather note that, when mixed with the herbal elements, smells like kerosene; I was reminded of when I was washing down engine parts while stripping it apart. It’s the exact same scent. Very masculine, though not as potent as one might think. Projection is average: overwhelming for about half an hour, then moderate, with a similar trail. After 4–5 hours, it sits close to the skin. It’s not a compliment bomb, but it wins over both men and women. I wear it in the mornings during autumn and winter. Not suitable for night due to low projection. Works for formal or informal occasions; the price is high in Argentina. Leathery, perfect for any cold-weather occasion, as they say: ‘not suitable for millennials’. Cheers.
A fragrance to enjoy on cold days. Don’t buy it thinking you’ll receive compliments from the female gender; it’s outside the common in perfumery, but if you’re a lover of classic cars or motorcycles, it’s your perfume.
I’m a novice in perfumery, inexperienced, although I always had some perfumes in mind. I never let myself be carried away until two years ago, when its venom infected me. I started buying affordable, aromatic, woody, citrusy perfumes, but above all I became passionate about leathers. I haven’t had cars with leather upholstery due to economics, nor the obsession; I’m practical (except now with perfumes). I loved the smell of new leather handbags, jackets I could afford, shoes in the 80s and 90s, even sports shoes, mostly leather. Entering a leather goods shop was a delight. Reading reviews and following YouTubers, everyone put this Gucci Guilty Absolute on a mythical pedestal. I wanted to smell it, a mission impossible in a physical store; one had to be brave and buy blind. Last year Zara launched the Oud collection by Alberto Morillas and many said Elevated Oud was similar; I tried it and although it was a magnificent synthetic woody perfume, it didn’t smell of leather and didn’t convince me. I let time pass, watching from the corner of my eye, until this summer on holiday I went into a leather shop and took a shoulder bag. I wore it walking through half of Spain, with heat, rain and some cold, and its smell accompanied me along with my citrus and summery perfumes, leaving a particular trail that intoxicated me and my wife gradually tolerated it. Upon returning, I asked for this marvel blind. As soon as it arrived, I sprayed it on my right wrist, next to my leather shoulder bag. What a wonder. At first comes that smell like a mechanic’s workshop with grease and used parts, but soon clean leather from leather goods, a new jacket, boots and shoes appears and dominates. It lasts hours, not offensive. I’ve had it for a week, using it every day, two sprays on my right wrist, and combining it with summery citrus on the rest of the body. It’s a treat, even in this hot August; I receive more compliments than ever; I don’t think it’s just because of Guilty Absolute, but it helps. (For those who say it’s only for autumn/winter).
It’s a good fragrance. The downside is that many don’t like it and it’s not youthful; it’s more for a manager or wealthy people.
For those who say perfumes have no gender, gift this to their partner and watch their argument crumble. Leather, vetiver, cypress, patchouli, oud and sandalwood, and more leather! If this isn’t masculine, then such a thing doesn’t exist. An ode to leather, earthy from the vetiver, dissolved in patchouli and woods that with the leather create a greasy scent. A freshly oiled horse, a polished saddle, a stable, testosterone and lots of character. That’s what Gucci Guilty Absolute smells like. It lasts 10 hours, the trail drops after the seventh hour because it starts as a bomb, then fades but lingers in a bubble. For cold days, morning or afternoon, nothing universal. It can make those not used to leather run. If you love the leather and vetiver notes, you must try it.
When I searched for ‘The Lovers Tale’ by Francesca Bianchi I wanted challenging saddler leather, but it had a powdery feminine touch I didn’t like. Now I’ve found Gucci Guilty Absolute and it’s exactly what I was looking for. It smells like what you see: leather, leather, leather and base woods. It even smells like shoe-shining grease or mechanic’s oil. I think of a raw leather jacket. If you’re looking for a leather perfume without more, this is it. It doesn’t last as long as the Gucci one, but longer than others from the house. About 6 hours, easy. It’s linear, no surprises, stays the same. It smells incredible if you like unusual scents. If you’re looking for a clean scent, it’s not for you.
Is the modern male sense of smell becoming too feminine? Everyone wants to smell sweet, like bonbons, vanilla or honey. This smells like a real gentleman. I imagined it more difficult, but it’s not that extreme. It’s elegant and rich, very sophisticated leather, high-quality niche smelling, and gives a lot of personality.
Not for rich people, not elegant, not for men of character. Why don’t they explain the scent and make comparisons? This smells like a village leather workshop: worked wood, tanned leather, diesel, animal leather and burnt oil. Surprising? Yes, for achieving that scent in a perfume. Will it please the public? Most won’t. I bought a small decant on discount and it’s interesting, but many people have tried it and most rejected it; some covered their noses. Everyone is free to choose, as it acts differently on each skin. I like it, but don’t tell me it’s elegant, millionaire or characterful; it’s pretentious. This is smelling like a saddler or a mechanic.
I usually run through a wooded neighbourhood near the River Paraná, full of weekend houses. One weekend there was a storm that took down several trees. I went out the next day, everything wet, the air humid and mild. I passed a huge, old cypress, destroyed by the storm with its roots ripped out and torn, perhaps by lightning. The smell of that broken tree was this perfume: oily, rancid resin, turned-over damp earth, cypress and pine needles. I don’t sense the leather, just that.
I tried it yesterday in a decant and was eager because of what people said. Upon bringing it close to my nose, the top note almost exploded in my head. I imagined something more wild, but it is unique, potent and characterful. It brings back memories of my childhood: shoe shining with my dad, buffing them to give them a shine, going to the carpentry shop smelling of solvents, helping with the truck’s mechanics, smelling oil, tyre and petrol. Basically, it smells of new shoes polished with brown wax in the sun, with dirty hands from the car engine, in a wooden workshop. It’s original and rich, a jewel. Complicated to use and you certainly won’t get compliments, but people will look at you and ask why you smell so elegant. It deserves a place on the podium. At 27 I loved it; it’s not for everyone and will be hard to use, but it is the best olfactively. What a pity it’s no longer available.
I love it for being so different. It’s a must-have for cold weather. Notes of wood, suede, and an animalic touch. It’s exclusive and intense, giving a sense of security. It smells very particular, very niche, like being in a cabin in winter. Only for special occasions. Apply sparingly at first because it’s right on the edge of being loved or hated. Not for everyone.
Niche in a designer bottle. Rough leather and woods. Longevity and sillage very notable. Very linear fragrance, nothing mainstream and for use only on special occasions; that’s its great handicap. Despite this, it’s a fragrance with personality, ideal for cold occasions and with a casual outfit. True that it’s not for everyone nor for receiving compliments; however, for those who like the leather accord, here is its most authentic exponent.
Guilty Absolute, a well-executed and achieved leather accord; I expected it to be more overwhelming, but anyway, it at least does a good job, although it’s somewhat linear as it doesn’t evolve much, only turning a bit warmer and saltier at the end. Far from using it as a winter perfume, I see it as an olfactory experience. Here at the end, the leather note presents itself as a homage to nature and to human ability to work this material. It’s a scent that evokes the elegance of an aged leather armchair, the strength of a journey through rustic landscapes; it’s understandable why some associate it with certain solvents, and for others the leather note becomes an olfactory poem, reminding us that in the art of perfumery, every essence tells a story, and every story leaves a mark on the senses. My favourite leather perfume remains CUO by Orto Parisi.
I think one could say it’s the leather of leathers. A definitely animalic smell, to a certain extent; don’t expect it to smell like Ombre Leather, it’s more like its rougher brother, hehe. Definitely a heavy scent; I don’t know if I could wear it in my day-to-day. Maybe for trips into nature so as to smell more in tune with the surroundings? It reminded me of riding a horse, where you smell the animal and the saddle. It’s not an unpleasant smell, by any means, I simply think it’s not for everyone’s taste.
I just managed to get a 150ml bottle for $59. Batch 2017. I’m so happy.
Old lady talcum powder from back in the day. Definitely not for free use. Testing is required.
I managed to get a 90ml bottle from Batch 2017, what beauty. That’s how Fangio would smell after a race. That leather that glorifies fragrance!
Unique, unparalleled. Very strong, as I like it. A leather scent leaning towards kerosene, sumptuously original and perfect for winter.
💥🖤Gucci Guilty Absolute🖤💥 Opens with leather, very green; you get the sensation of being in the middle of a damp, vegetation-filled forest. Soon, that herbal feeling calms down and delightful, quite noticeable solvent/camphor/mechanic workshop chords emerge, which might remind you of back when our dads were polishing leather shoes with mink oil and letting them dry. All this accompanied by dark woody notes and the green base chords giving freshness to the aroma. For me, a nothing-to-challenge fragrance, as the leather accord is one of my favourites, and I have in my collection scents far more complicated than this Guilty Absolute. It could go down the path of Amber Kiso by DS&Durga, but here the leather is quite more animalic than in the Gucci one, yet the fresh herbal leather sensation is similar, obviously keeping the differences. For me, a masterpiece by Morillas misunderstood at the time of its launch, and people not used to more challenging scents didn’t know how to understand or appreciate it. Hence its quick withdrawal from the commercial market, although it’s still manufactured for sale on platforms and relatively easy to find. A different aroma, which won’t please the majority, and I’m delighted that it isn’t, and hasn’t become mass-market; it’s clear that the nose of 95% of the population isn’t prepared for scents a bit more challenging that stray from JPG, Rabanne, or Carolina Herrera. A pity, and a joy at the same time. Scent 9/10 Longevity/Trail 8/10 Value for money 100/10. Niche in a designer bottle. For me, a resounding yes💯💯
We all know it’s reformulated, but it still stinks well, just with about two hours less longevity. There it is: that dirty, grease-splattered workshop leather scent that I absolutely love; bloody hell. To my nose, the cypress and patchouli give it that earthy nuance I enjoy, while the woods and vetiver push the leather to the limit. I’d wear this perfume if Negan from The Walking Dead had to.
BIG BANNER PERFUME. IMPACTING.
Another gem by Alberto Morillas. It’s not for everyone; don’t expect compliments as it breaks the mould. It’s a rebellious, tough perfume: boots, leather, jeans. The opening is unmistakable leather, even ‘dirty’, followed by an earthy heart and old wood, closing with smoky vetiver. It follows the same style as Fahrenheit, with that mechanic workshop scent. Worth having; it’s a pity they’ve discontinued it.
After five months with it, it’s almost fresh (though not quite). Once it dries, it recalls Terre d’Hermès with leather. A very good fragrance with six to eight hours of longevity. I bought it for the love of art and for the good price.
This is a gem, just as I imagined: a big green, earthy, woody, and smoky fragrance, with a very subtle sweet touch at the bottom that makes it addictive. Essential for leather lovers. I find it totally unisex, depending on the outfit and attitude. The fact that my circle doesn’t like it only makes me want it more.
Disappointing; I think it’s due to the reformulation. It projects nothing.
I love it; it literally smells like freshly polished leather boots. If you like Fahrenheit or Gany, you’ll adore it. It lasts a long time, though it lacks a bit of punch compared to Fahrenheit. I got it at a good price; highly recommended.
Leather, green woody notes, and smoke. It smells incredible, although some might find it reminiscent of varnish. It has magic when worn in the air. With my reformulations, it lasts about seven hours on the skin and over 24 on clothes. Recommended!
One of the finest colognes that exist. It’s a pity they no longer produce it in that format, although they have released a very similar niche version.
It’s new leather, a new jacket, new boots. The opening is potent and dense, but once it dries, it clings to the skin. It’s wearable, but it takes character to appreciate it.
Bach 2023 smells like top-tier cured leather, an olfactory masterpiece. It’s not a beast in terms of projection, but if you appreciate perfumery, you must try it.
A true masterpiece by Morillas; what luck to have three bottles of the original formula before it was changed.
