Gucci Guilty by Gucci

The opening is excessive. It improves during the dry-down, but the longevity is very poor. Personally, it smells very synthetic and nothing special. Just another commercial fragrance. Suitable for daily wear only.

Sophisticated. I am updating my 2015 review: at 24, I found it very sober; it had nothing to do with me as I wore Converse and t-shirts and used lighter scents. Today, eight years later, the little bottle returns; I swapped it with my mother for another perfume and the story changes. It now represents me better. It is talcum-like, but it no longer smells of baby powder or like Kenzo’s Flower; instead, it is elegant and sophisticated, for an empowered woman. Pink pepper gives it character, while the vanilla-fruity base adds sweetness so it is not annoying or smells of ‘old lady’. I made the mistake of using it in the heat and it was a disaster, becoming heavy; better on cool days to show its beauty. Longevity is better in this climate. I am delighted today.

It is alright but it does not fascinate me. If you love florals, you might like it. The opening is very strong and it is hard to distinguish notes, but after 10 minutes you detect much floral with a fruity touch that adds sweetness; I feel it is a bit flat, without many facets. In the final notes, I only detect the amber, which is the only thing I like 😅. It works better in cool seasons, elegant but not casual. Ideal for the office; an elegant woman without being the centre of attention, more bearable for daily life. It will not disappoint but it will not impress either; if you are looking for something original and imposing, it is not your choice. Very low trail, medium longevity (4 to 6h).

Seductive and glamorous. I first saw it in a commercial in 2010 with Evan Rachel Wood, whom I admire, and I was hooked by the marketing; I knew I wanted it. Although it was always on my wishlist, I did not dare to buy it; ten years later I decided and I have no regrets. It is a subtle and sophisticated EDT; I think it could be unisex, but also quite sensual. I imagine a contemporary and mysterious woman using it. Lilac is the predominant note, beautifully balanced. It is a spiced oriental floral with fruity touches. Ideal to wear at night, especially for elegant events. However, I would like it to last longer. It maintains poor longevity and a soft trail, considering its price. The presentation is superb, it looks luxurious; it is luxurious.

I detect a very marked body cream scent. Simple, nothing special. Smells like body cream and nothing more.

A pleasant surprise: it smells of luxury and exclusivity, matching the packaging perfectly. The only drawback is that it lasts very little; for the price, it’s not worth it, but if you want to treat yourself, it’s worth trying.

I’d ignored Gucci Guilty for years due to negative reviews, but it has surprised me. The opening didn’t grab me, but when the lilacs with pink pepper arrive, it smells elegant and wearable: great for dates or winter daily wear. Key tip: spray sparingly, as it’s not fresh and if you overdo it, the powdery touch (like musk) becomes annoying. It reminds me of baby powder, but subtler. Curiously, I look vintage, like a 1920s flapper XD. Seriously, the longevity and sillage on me are good; I’m surprised others say it lasts only 3 hours. It’s quality; the lilacs are fine and delicious, but never buy blindly: you must test. It’s wearable only if you dress up, not for tracksuit days.

Smells very good, fresh, floral, and elegant. But it’s so subtle that you stop smelling it quickly (a pity). Ideal for daily wear and for any woman.

I like Guilty, though it doesn’t excite me. Citrus opening that fades quickly, leaving an almost imperceptible base. Then comes the peach like a shooting star, followed by talcum lilacs reminiscent of Flower by Kenzo, which over time become floral, with a touch of patchouli, amber, and shy vanilla. It’s soft, feminine, and subtle; sillage and longevity are moderate to soft. Ideal for those seeking delicate flowers.

A good scent, semi-sweet and pleasant. But it has a huge flaw: it doesn’t last absolutely anything! It vanishes, disappears, and evaporates instantly. What a pity because the perfume is lovely and expensive. I can’t say more.

One of my favourites: elegant, unique and super sexy. It’s the ultimate scent for conquering.

My girlfriend’s perfume… I love her and with this scent I love her even more. I don’t know many women’s perfumes, but Alien by Mugler, Chanel n°5 new, Organza by Givenchy, Amarige by Givenchy, Grand Amour by Annick Goutal and this Gucci are by far the best; I adore smelling them on an attractive woman. I don’t wear it myself so I can’t review it, but I know it well. If I had to rate it: scent 10, longevity 9. That said, the trail is medium-low, which makes it very intimate and close to the skin.

I adore this perfume; its sweetness and elegance are 100%. I feel super confident wearing it and, despite being an eau de toilette, it lasts quite a while. I can already imagine the parfum version would last forever. Also, I don’t get bored of its scent, something that happens with other perfumes. 100% recommended for any taste and age.

I also detected a bit of baby powder. The pepper didn’t bother me at all. The peach, tangerine and amber create a subtle, delicate sweetness, feminine and not cloying. On my skin, it felt elegant and sophisticated; I thought it would be more casual, but it turned out not to be. It had nothing to do with me; I felt as if the perfume was dressing me. We just didn’t click. I gave the sample bottle to my mum and on her the smell is wonderful, it comes out beautifully. By this, I don’t mean it’s only for older ladies; perfumes are about personalities, not age. On my skin, the longevity and projection were very scarce, skin-scented and didn’t last more than three hours, even for me it was hard to find. But on my mum it worked very well. It’s all about pH levels.

It sounds too masculine to me, despite many seeing it as feminine; perhaps it’s that oriental note that makes it so for me. Nevertheless, it is elegant, warm, with good projection and trail, which is why people remember it.
