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

After last year’s Elixir release — already an absolutely stunning fragrance — the new Absolu takes that DNA, reimagines it and amps it up in all the best ways. Marketed as a women’s fragrance, yes... but honestly? I have zero qualms wearing this myself. It leans beautifully unisex with a boozy, sweet, dark, rich, resinous vibe and even a little caffeine-like kick that keeps things addictive. It’s the kind of scent you can’t stop sniffing. And the longevity... nuclear. This stuff clings to clothes and skin all day long. I can still smell it on my pillows when I wake up — the same beast-mode performance I love from the men’s Guilty Pour Homme Elixir (2024) and Absolu (2025).

A beautiful fragrance that feels like a true composition. No single note dominates the others; instead, they complement each other gracefully, creating a warm, gourmand, and sweet scent. The accords of almond, amaretto, florals, vanilla, and patchouli reveal themselves when I consciously search for them, leaning closer and exploring the fragrance. As a whole, however, the perfume surrounds me with a soothing, almost dense veil with a subtle oriental character. The fragrance gravitates toward gourmand noir. It is sensual, yet still easy to wear during the day, especially in cooler weather. A beautiful perfume with very good longevity and a strong yet never cloying sillage.

Oh!! This is sooo sexy! Smells expensive! Gucci Guilty Pour Femme Absolute is pure seduction ❤️ dark, bold, and unapologetically sensual. The moment it touches my skin, it’s like slipping into a second layer of confidence. I picture myself with red lips, my burgundy bag in hand, and my black Louboutins clicking against the pavement every step leaving a trace of mystery in the air.✨✨ This scent isn’t for the shy. It’s for the woman who knows her power, who commands attention without saying a word. With its deep notes of blackberry, Bulgarian rose, and golden wood dangerously elegant. 10/10!

Super sexy powdery almond. "Cozy, like a hug" type perfume. Smells mature as in a sexy confident woman. I don't know if a younger woman would like it but I'm 30 and this is PERFECTION. Performance is great (reflected in price), can be cloying so spray with caution if you're sensitive to that. Not sure how this will wear in the summer months but it's winter right now and I'm obsessed with this. Like god damn it's sexy. Also, totally can be worn by a man. To me it's a feminine scent but I think that would be fucking delicious on a man. Okay byeeee

This smells a lot like the original Amarige, which was nothing like the current iteration. That old one, WOOO, those who know, know. Nothing else gave you that amazing, deep, hypnotic blast. Finally, I have my childhood scent back. I do love this on my skin, it's very feminine and glamorous. It's a statement, for sure. I'm very taken aback by the low score, this is a gem in my book and I'm certainly getting a full bottle. The performance is very decent as well, which softens the blow of the price.

I’m getting confidence, daring, unapologetic and sophisticated vibes. The base notes really shine here, but the booze is particularly punchy in the opening. The warmth that comes from a mix of tonka and coffee makes the scent really comforting. I can detect a hint of florals but cannot tell the notes apart, so either that I have a crappy nose or it’s just very well blended. There is a slight sourness in the dry down, but other than that, doesn’t develop much.

Damn. I love this. It is seductive, deep, complex, a bit floral, but mostly gourmand. This is a perfume for a grown-ass woman who knows who she is and isn’t ashamed of it. This is confident and sexy. There is loads of Almond, but does NOT smell like Play-Dough or cherry. There is also coffee. Vanilla. A hint of florals in the middle. Tonal in the dry down. It is in a similar category to Black Opium le Parfum, but is still different and stands on her own.

I don’t understand why people are rating this so low? Because this is beautiful 😍 Where I live people rarely compliment each other, but this fragrance got me so many compliments today. It has such a nice scent trail that even my biggest hater at work complimented on how good I smelled. Overall scent: 9/10 Longevity: 9/10 Projection: 8.5/10

I'm so impressed with this! The coffee note is classy and rich, all the notes blended together smell like when you open a box of expensive chocolates: some with orange filling, some with amaretto, vanilla etc. But they're all there and easy to detect. I wish I discovered this one earlier and not now that Spring is around the corner :'(

This is sooo addictive 🤤I can’t stop sniffing my wrist. A lot of the popular perfumes out there don’t work with my skin chemistry, or they have a note that’s annoying. But this one - Oh my gosh! I want to bite myself. This is perfection, not too sweet, not too fresh, not too spicy, not too much of anything. It’s just right.

In my opinion, this perfume is like an Elixir version with the violet removed and more almond added. I prefer the Elixir version because I love violet (despite the patchouli). The almond also suits this perfume very well. It has a very nice opening and drying time. It's a sweet perfume more suitable for evening wear.

This stuff is so good that I have two bottles. I love the scent for fall and winter; it lasts a long time and gives me dark witchy vibes, very seductive. The amaretto note blends so well with the coffee ughh its so good but it’s definitely not blind buy safe

Tested this today at Pharmaprix, absolutely a gorgeous scent, great for fall. The longevity and projection are 10 out of 10, this is the next fragrance on my list!

Been huffing my wrists while draining my sample. I'm in love! This sweet, boozy, dark and smokey scent is GOOD! 🖤 It's lasting well on both skin and clothes.

I bought it today and love it. Right on time for the fall.
