Gucci Guilty Absolu de Parfum Pour Femme

Honestly, Gucci Guilty line has something to tell. I never had the original EDP in the more rounded bottle before it changed into the same style like the one for men, but honestly it was innovative for it's era. I am sure it's slightly reformulated and not as good or 'spicy' as before, like it happens with all the old time classic perfumes nowadays. My favorite till now seems to be the Love Edition (in the pastel lilac bottle) that is going to be discontinued soon. Ok, I am honest, I am not gonna miss it. Effortlessly elegant is the first two word I connect Gucci Guilty with and I always get the impression only a mature guy/women could rock it. It's never gourmand, it's never floral-y boring, it never follows the trends or pushes too much in order to be likable from all. Lasting power is good and sillage too in a way that is present without being loud. There's a big chance you will love Absolu if you like: Angel's Share by Killian, Khamrah Qahwa, anything Christmas-y and boozy. Now, I somehow agree and disagree with the comment of a reviewer that said if you have the Elixir (previous dark purple bottle) you don't need the Absolu. They are similar and thank God they are since they belong to the same line, though Absolu belongs to the family of boozy/aromatic. Elixir has wisteria as the main star and it's softer. Absolu plays with tonka bean & facets of liquor. It opens by being somehow intriguing, it feels like you have smelled this before but the best word to describe it is paradox. It's notes made me want to try it like mad, I love almond but here it's hidden behind very strong notes. When I tested it on the store, I totally forgot the notes I have read in fragrantica. It felt like a 'meh' red wine, aromatized with spices, a touch of cinnamon, cardamom...this is where my interest faded away. It's sillage & lasting power are great. It's totally like a combo of every good facet of all Gucci Guilty perfumes in an alcoholic hug. A bit masculine, a bit vampy, a bit formal, a bit lux grandma vibes. For a strange reason what I smell is dates inside the alcoholic drink I mentioned before. I would love to smell it on someone, it's memorable but I am getting bored easily from boozy perfumes. It's a no from me & my wallet, but respect to the perfumers because it's something 'new'.

I’m going to give full credit to Gucci for creating an amazing fragrance with Guilty Absolu de Parfum because of the following reasons. First thing, it does smell different from all the other designer releases. It’s a jammy rose, fruity, nutty, tonka, vanilla based scent like many others, but it has a unique quality that makes it stand out in the end. I don’t know if it’s mandora combined with wisteria and amaretto that gives this such a rich, sweet, spicy, intensely floral scent, but something is different here and I am loving it. The patchouli shines more as the wear time progresses and gives it a nice earthy, dark touch. Meshes splendidly with the juicy citruses, spicy florals and nutty, almondy facets! Second thing, Gucci Guilty Absolu de Parfum is indeed an intense, rich, deep perfume, not just baseless marketing without any real substance or actual fragrance oils concentration. This is a long lasting, vibrant and complex perfume that worth the money, if you like the way it smells! I can see some note liking it because it’s leaning towards a more niche take. I am really trying to buy less fragrances in 2026, but this really tempts me. More of a cooler weather fragrance than anything else, but really a good one. Well done Gucci! I am impressed.

I smelt this from one spray from a sample on my hand and I fell in love straight away so I just had to buy it. It’s gorgeous. Without looking at the notes I wanted to see what notes were in it before I read up on them and I instantly smelt amaretto, black grape liqueur, juiced plum and dark berries, almond and patchouli, although the plum and berries aren’t in the notes they are there. I get tuberose, white floral and also a coffee note but not strong. It’s luxurious and juicy, deep and dark, vampy like amaretto and cherry coke. Very boozy, very rich and very gorgeous. I can also smell a little coconut and a little liquorice. This is a love or hate perfume I recommend you sample before you buy it because it’s not a safe blind buy.

On paper: Love it! It surprised me! I thought it would smell like amaretto..that scent is overdone in all cherry perfumes and I'm done with it, but this beauty smells amazing! Deep, smooth almond, intense tonka and it's alluring, dense and a bit dark. The drydown is to die for. It's not gourmand, nor boozy (thankfully!). It's mildly sweet, mostly coming from the vanilla and tonka. Tonka is dominant. 48h later is still projecting like crazy (on paper), but now the almond is a bit too heavy leaning a bit masculine so from 9/10 -> 8.7/10(I need to test ot on my skin). The only negative is the high price for a 60 ml bottle. And there are no other bottle size options in EU. On my skin: Same, but the almond became much more bitter.

This perfume is so addictive, mysterious and sexy. Imagine a beautiful woman wearing maroom or black dress leaving a beautiful trail of almonds and florals behind her and you keep following her. This is love at first sniff but it is not for those who love fresh scents as this is not fresh it falls under gourmand family of fragrances. It reminds me of Mugler interseller and Prada paradox radical essence but it has Gucci twist into it so even if you have those 2 in ur collection you can easily add this in ur collection also and will be happy about it. This perfume needs only 3 to 4 sprays as it is intense and heavy. Men they really love this perfume so my friends go and grab your bottle of love
