Gucci Guilty Eau de Parfum

GLAMOUR level 100! Gucci Guilty is one of glamorous perfume I have encountered, and I have encountered more than 200. It’s a powdery lilac and violet bomb with a punch of freshness, helping it not to be too much. It’s not sweet or syrupy at all, it is floral and powdery. It is a must for all violet and lilac lovers. I get all the middles notes listed above, but here the lilac and violet are the ABSOLUTE stars of show! Velvety and creamy, it is a rich perfume that will get you noticed and last really well; I can still smell it though my laundry basket. I had the impression to be in a cloud of powdery lilac for hours while wearing it and people asked me a lot while coming closer “it smells good in your direction; is that you?” Close to Violet Orchid, Lolita Lempicka, Parisienne and share the Moulin Rouge vibes of Le Classique EDP, I easily also imagine Betty Poop, Jessica Rabbit, Marilyn Monroe, Dita Von Teese; and yes, Lana Del Rey wearing that. The kind of perfume for people that want to make a statement, for sure. Could be wear all year long by people who wants to be noticed in the crowd, however IMO Gucci Guilty is not perfume really casual or for work, nor for clubbing, its sophisticated, glam and if you are an over-sprayer; it could be really inviting and sultry ;)

I love Gucci Guilty EdT so much, it is one of my favorite perfumes ever. However, I remember thinking once that even though it smells amazing, I don't know if I can justify paying so much for something that doesn't last that long, and I'm thinking it again now that my bottle is nearly empty. I still have a tester of the EdP, I put that one on one wrist and the EdT on the other, and compared them. The EdT feels somewhat fresher and dries down musky, and I sense more pink pepper. The EdP is similar but is more soft and powdery. Others have said this, but I'd like to reiterate that this perfume is great for every day and every season (a bit less so Summer). I find the guilty line is not as sexy as it is cool and a bit classy, which is what I like about it ('sexy' gets thrown around way too much when it comes to perfumes IMO). I tried this before when it came out in 2019, I loved it, but I used to think it smelled too powdery/mature, and that the EdT (which I already had) is better for me. Now that I've gotten older, I have changed my mind, and I can see myself pulling this off. I still have some doubts about the performance of this one, but I'm considering getting it in the future.

I’ve just realized that I have been owning this fragrance for longer than a year now, thanks to one of the most generous Fragranticans, Scarbo, and never got to review it. I am wearing this on a way too warm early spring day, around 15+ degrees Celsius, sun shining and an overall uplifting, optimistic day. And Guilty EDP sings beautifully on my skin, not too intrusive but not too close, loud enough for me to catch wafts of it when I walk or move. The scent is very soft (as in tender and graceful), but absolutely present and it’s as clear as spring water. I get slightly sweet, dewy flowers and plants with a crystalline quality. Almost a glassy / sheer perfume, somehow innocent because of the lack of sweetness and “fluff”, yet in no way simple or immature. I see this fit for any lady, from young to mature, because it’s so classy and feminine that it cannot really clash with anyone, as long as it’s worn with grace, imo. Performance is fine on me. I have sprayed it 3 hours ago and I still very much smell it (not up close from the skin, because I have sprayed it on my neck, therefore I’m pretty sure it creates a bubble around me).

I blind bought this fully expecting to be disappointed. I assumed it would be kind of trashy like "Rush". However, it is the most beautiful, purple floral powdery fragrance. It is not a blast of baby powder in your nose like "My Name" by Trussardi or "Omnia Amethyste" by Bvlgari. It is a perfectly moderate fragrance. Subtle, but noticeable. Not at all weak. Moderate sillage and above average longevity of 7 hours at its best. The initial spray is a bit aggressive but once it dries down, it is gorgeous. The mandarin orange and bergamot are more distant but certainly noticeable. They add a bit of juiciness to the florals. I find this quite versatile, from everyday use to serious events, this fragrance is a solid choice. While the current bottle design is not great, the gold colour is accurate. P.S. Somebody asked me what laundry detergent I was using. In a way, it does remind me of a very nice laundry detergent. If you are into this category of scents, give "Guilty" a try!

I keep seeing sophisticated florals being called “rich auntie” scents. Especially with patchouli, rose, and/or the chypre accord. Gucci Guilty is that essence but in the most modern, sexy way. I do feel rich when I wear this (lies) but not snotty old money rich- more like 90s supermodel in the corner of a nightclub, private booth, slinky dress kinda rich. People want to be seen with her. She’s got legs for days and somehow just puts her hair in a stupid clip and looks like a million bucks. This scent is kinda classic but still a little edgy. It’s effortless, cool, but dressy. This feels like a signature scent you could wear through the decades. (It’s more suited to grownT women) Spicy, floral, aromatic, musky; depending on the weather it reads a bit juicy or more powdery. Orange, violet, and patchouli might be singing loudest to me but it’s very well blended. Can see this working most seasons as it’s not a particularly warm frag. Just fabulous ugh!

First, let's take a second to appreciate the gorgeousness of the bottle!!! the bottle even looks better in reality,, packing:10/10. The scent: it's indeed comparable to Gucci guilty intense, but more powdery; comparing it with Gucci guilty Absolute they have nothing to share at all!! The first stage: lilac and pink pepper, in the dry down the scent becomes more powdery and musky, even though musk is not included in the notes, I guess I get this feeling from the patchouli; for amber I can't feel it at all, the bergamot I can get a hint of it when the scent dries down, but I guess what really gives the scent that crispy feeling is the mandarin orange that shows up very well and adds a very pleasant twist, preventing the scent from being so powdery which might irritate some people! All in all, I would classify the scent as a powdery sweet with a crispy edge; I find it classy and modern, and suits women +25. So glad to have it in my collection 8.5/10.

Wore a tester for the past week. On the one hand, this smells v. good - it is pleasant, rich, it smells expensive and it has presence without being obnoxious. This is what made me love it at first. On the other hand, it doesn't smell really original or specific to me now that I've worn it for a longer period. It is not quite generic but it does smells a bit like a perfume store, it smells like the idea of perfume. In the very best way possible, don't get me wrong, but still; Gucci Guilty doesn't seem to have a very strong identity to me. Nevertheless charming, and I find the advertising for this absolutely delicious. May still purchase a small bottle if I ever come across a good deal. 01/21 I still think it's not super interesting but I love it anyway! The lilac is delightful, warm and elegant. Sometimes you need a scent like that, and I think I wear this one well. Bought 30 ml today.

wow this smells so beautiful! The sales clerk sprayed Gucci Guilty on my left wrist and Olympea Solar on the other. Even though OS is rated as longer wearing on fragrantica, I think GG lasts more than OS. I was contemplating between GG and OS. OS has very little presence to me. I had to put my nose near to my wrist to smell it. GG on the other hand has more projection! I catches whiffs of it while I'm shopping. This is the first time I smell violet on a perfume. It reminds me of christmas. So so beautiful and uplifting fragrance! I associate the smell with my aunt who visits from UK every christmas. This fragrance reminds me of her. It does smells like a rich aunt. Ignore the negative reviews guys. You have to test it first to see if it works on you. GG is certainly not crazy projecting like Libre or L'interdit but it's beautiful and wearable, so I don't mind.

I really love the Guilty EDP. I never really tried the earlier EDT so I can't compare, but this has a nice opening that is bright but not too citrusy. The main notes aren't necessarily clear on paper but this is not A Rose Perfume with some backup singers, it's a floral perfume that might have some rose in it, which I really appreciate. It's a really nice blend. I'm not sure I actually know what geranium alone smells like but I think I like it. It doesn't have a distinctive lilac like a soliflore but you can tell it's in there. The drydown is a really nice warm, sweetish patchouli that lingers a long time on my skin. It wears really well all fall/winter/spring so far, feels beautiful, and is a nice alternative to powerhouse white flowers or pure rose for when you still want a floral not fruity or tea or musk.

Lana Del Ray was the perfect ambassador for this. It's so unique like her but also perfect for the office. It's inoffensive, pretty but it also has the vibe "I'm only tame if I want to be" while at the same time subconsciously planting the idea "she has to have money" in the mind of whoever observes you as you pass by. It almost invokes a sense of mystery which is what I really like about it. The character is there. The initial spray is consistent with the dry down with a well done Powdery lovely vibe intertwined with a violet rose. In the world where every woman seems to reach for Coco Mademoiselle this is quite unique while being very VERSATILE to wear in every environment you walk through from day to night. I recommend every woman to pair this with your favorite red lipstick.

Elegant, creamy-powdery and classy. The nuances differ with temperature, as a reviewer below already has mentioned. Winter test: sparkling, but elegant beginning (mandarin, bergamotte), distinct flowers and soapy woody (Patchouli)musky drydown. I think that part may seem a bit masculine to some; for me it seems just classic and mature (the good kind of being mature). Spring test: yummy sweet mandarin opening, mingled with lilac and sweet violets, bit candy like due to a more enveloping and warmer ambernote. Not so much Patchouli, stronger and longer lasting heartnotes. Both experiences: an updated, even upgrated version of the original. Personal taste: I like the less sweet experience in winter more, but the springtime sensation is also alluring. My final vote: underrated.

One of my the best purchases ever. Love this scent, just love it. Elegant, feminine, cosy and sophisticated same time. Light but gives a nice bubble of scent. I can definitely smell lilac in it and something powdery, perfectly balanced perfume. Bought it because many said it reminds of sadly discontinued Love by Chloé and I would agree. Not identical but definitely shares same DNA. So far wore it mostly on cold days, perfect for autumn, winter and cooler part of spring, it's too warm and sweet for me for summer. But still LOVE IT 🩷 PS. Many complained the earlier version, this in square metal box, was better. Well, I have both and definitely prefer the newer one. More floral, light, a bit aweeter and delicate. It's pure perfection IMO.

I try to be completely open-minded and explore the broad world of fragrance without prejudice to origin or genre. BUT...... I had absolutely no interest in Gucci or most popular Italian designer fragrances and I have only recently checked out Gucci after receiving several from a friend. Well, it turns out, the women's guilty line has more class than I gave it credit for. This EDP is surprisingly beautiful and elegant on skin. A rare, well-done lilac emerges prominently in the composition, pairing beautifully with violet. It's modern but also classic. It is better on skin than paper, so I recommend properly testing it. It is a pillowy, creamy purply floral with a silken texture. I think I might love it.

I just have to admit that I’m just so into this fragrance. It’s so creamy, musky, light lilac floral with an elegance to it. It’s clean, fresh, and subtle which I like sometimes and over the top other times. It’s not overly floral but I love how rich but creamy this is. It’s warm and effortlessly sensual. I love it. Lilac can be intense but this isn’t at all. I have this and the Edt and they smell almost identical. I prefer the Edp because it lasts longer and is a little bit stronger but it still smells just like the Edt. It’s so good I can’t stop smelling it. It’s very office or anywhere friendly and it would make a great signature fragrance.

This perfume is currently being shipped to me but I need to write a placeholder review because I am obsessed with this scent. I distractedly sprayed it on top of my hand in a shop, and I immediately fell in love. I spent my drive back home with my nose on my hand, feeling a sense of peace and comfort. Lilac and violet are two of my favorite notes, although I don’t like pink pepper, listed here as the main note. The mandora fruit note intrigues me. I look forward to wearing this perfume to try to understand why I felt it so comforting, so “me”, right from the first spritz.

This signora is an underrated beauty. GGPF has some of the original Guilty DNA, but this flat passport-like bottle takes you on a fresh journey through the collection. Along with shades of lilac and violet, I also detect some heliotrope and almond nuances (similar to the texture found in Alien), powdery softness and clean soapy musk. A little sweet mandarin offers sparkle to the warm base. It's light, elegant and clean. If being addicted to this scent is wrong, then I'm Guilty!

to me, this scent is a luxurious lotion smell. its very creamy and powdery, not in an overwhelming way. it feels very cozy and effortless, id say its appropriate for every age and works with most outfits. the floral notes are such a nice addition to the overall profile. it doesn't last too long which is the only drawback for me. i find myself thinking i sprayed way too much just to reapply it 30 minutes later. overall a very nice, basic perfume for everyday wear!

This was my wedding day perfume and I loved it. The spicy top note and floral blend very well together and I don’t think either is too overpowering. They compliment one another. then powdery note that settles in after a few hours of wear is soft and feminine. I usually don’t enjoy a powdery note but the slight trace of amber makes it still a bit sweet. One of my favorite fragrances that is an especially amazing option if you want to tie it to a memory.

I have to be honest and say that I actually prefer this one over the original Gucci Guilty. Maybe it's because I love powdery floral scents. I love the manderin and red pepper opening followed by sweet violets and lilac. It's classy and has a vintage vibe which makes me feel nostalgic. My girlfiend loves this scent which is another pro. To be fair I did expect something more 'Guilty', but i like this nevertheless.

Gucci Guilty Eau de Parfum has become one of my favourites. I think I should have given it a chance sooner! I cant figure out why but something in it reminds me of Armani Si, this is definitely more powdery & soft. Im almost certain I had tried it on a paper strip in a store but I didn't think much of it.a woman at my work was wearing it & I was instantly obsessed! Just goes to show its best to try it on skin

A blind buy based solely on this site's ratings and reviews, and to my delight, I really like it! <3 First impression is almost exclusively a slightly bitter citrus but it soon fades to a subdued and pleasant spicy violet. It feels like a lavish vintage perfume but definitely restrained enough for modern tastes. It feels extremely wearable and will probably become one of my favorites! Highly recommended!

One gorgeous floral with a sweet backdrop. The lilac is evident but also sweetness from the orange and amber. A little kick from the pepper and violet. The pepper gets a little stronger with time but otherwise there is not much development. It's such a lovely sweet floral that I don't mind at all. My only disappointment is the longevity is poor but the sillage is moderate in a warm room.

I love it. It's powdery, elegant with slightest tang of sweetness in the background, to some degree sort of cottony. It opens up with rich spicy aroma and then settles down with sophisticated florals that last all day long. In my opinion it is perfect for any season at all and any time of the day. It's strong but not overpowering and is definitely a statement perfume.

I like floral as the main point and a little bit of everything else. This perfume meets all those requirements! This is my everyday scent that describes me the best. At sephora, other perfumes were a bit too much of something, but this one was just perfect. It didnt smell too sharp, but it's there and feminine and sexy and impressionable. Love it.

If Gucci stop making this one I will have nothing to live for. I have 3 bottles of this one in 3 different sizes. I received lots of compliments and some like “ you smell like fresh clean clothes “ I believe it is because of the iris notes mixed with citrusy. I love this perfume and this is far better than Chanel Chance or Gabrielle

This is one of my favorite perfumes. I love the original edt version, but it doesn't last as long on me. This one lasts several hours, and the scent is identical to me. It is sweet, fruity and a little powdery. When it dries down it almost has a tobacco sweetness. Good for all year, but love it more in cooler weather.

Vintage '50s makeup powder scent that manages to not smell formal or dated. A younger person could wear this with a casual outfit, which is a strong feat for a powder violet fragrance. The patchouli, amber and bergamot in this make it a very modern and wearable scent. Very, very elegant and Guerlain-esque. I love it.

Very rarely do I come across a perfume that dries down so beautifully on my skin. Powdery, creamy, a little bit of a heady floral that is just perfect. The floral notes layer delicately amid the powdery opening. Great longevity and I enjoyed experiencing how this scent evolved throughout the day.

If you want to smell clean, light, powdery, not very sweet then this is your girl. It’s a lilac/violet fragrance. If you like powder florals but don’t want something too heavy I recommend this fragrance. Is it totally original? Not at all but do you want to smell like lilac? This is for you.

With the exception of Delina Exclusif this is my favourite perfume that has come on the market in the last few years. I love the loud opening note that smells to me like bitter cherries, I think it is a mix of the pink pepper and germanium, whatever it is it’s lovely and so is the dry down

A pleasant sweet, floral scent gently fades into powdery notes. It feels comforting and enveloping, smooth and calm. I don’t sense the revolutionary element mentioned in the advertising campaign. This is a contemporary, mature, feminine fragrance with a balanced projection.

Love this. Its classy and sensual without being to heavy and mature. Works for all seasons but I personally view it as more of a fall/winter scent. The amber and vanilla gives the perfume depth and warmth, and the florals makes it fresh and sweet. Really recommend this!

@Ulusia you’re not alone..I’ve same opinions about that.I do like this fragrance at first sniff,thought that what a feminine & elegant scent is that..But I believe that positive words evokes positive feeling at least for me.But even that it still has a chance to buy;)

Mmm this is super unique for a designer fragrance. I expected it to be girly and floral but it's much cooler. I can really smell the violet. This would be my signature fragrance if it wasn't so weak/not long lasting on me. Also love the ad with Lana 😍

It has a very unique smell. Both sweet, warm, flowery and spicy. Smells expensive, and like a classic lady. It could be a great signature scent, because it smells so unique. I think this can be worned every day. Smells like roses and warm pebber.

How refreshing and kind of edgy this felt, as different from all other women frags in the sweet pile as it gets. A bit spicy and very classy. I like the fact that Gucci perfumes are not following the mainstream trends of every other house.

I can't explain this in any other way, but this perfume smells like a classy, sophisticated and put-together person that has a LOT of money -and is also hot. It smells of success to me, and I love it! Definitely for late twenties and up.

such a gorgeous perfume! the lilac and violet in this are SO beautiful. I feel like this perfume smells like the color purple :) It smells very ethereal. I have a 5ml bottle and I'll definitely buy the full bottle in the future!

This was a love for me. I was worried the floral notes in this, I am not a floral person. I found however this is a musky scent. Smelling it on paper does not do it justice. You must try it on your skin. I found it addictive.

In my opinion, this is one of the best fragrances ever created. It’s not very common or widely known, and it’s definitely a tough wear for anyone under 25. When you spray it on, you instantly feel elegant and classy.

To me this would make a perfect perfume for a bride. It's a delicate and romantic floral. I get well blended hints of lilac, violet and rose on a soft patchouli base. The dry down reminds me of a baby's skin scent.

The name seems appropriate! 😍😜😎 You need to wear this a little while to truly appreciate it. This would be a nice signature fragrance...for an extremely hot person! Aurélien Guichard at his finest. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I love this so much. I got it from my husband on christmas eve, and I absolutely Adore it🤎 It makes me feel ; •Confident •SEXY •Feminine •Elegant •Desired I've already ordered a new,big bottle of this.

It smells clean and soapy — fresh but not overpowering. Even though I’m not usually into floral scents, I really love this one. It feels perfect for spring, light and uplifting.

I bought it blindly, and I don’t care if it’s for ladies or whoever. I wore it before sleeping, and when I woke up I smelled something that I would like to drink or kiss

This was my favourite for a while, very universal - perfect for any occasion. This is the case where it's fruity and floral without being too much.

This is soooo GOOD! Very elegant and expensive smelling! Also lasted on me a good 12 hours. Perfect timing for spring and the warmer months...

A very heady and divinely complicated GG edp Pour Femme INTENSE! So perfectly wicked for the sensual "bad girls" among us. YEEUUMMM!!!

one of my all time faves <3 it was my first real big name perfume and i adore it. powdery, like a more mature baby powder scent.

Warm spicy lilac with hints of rose and bergamot. Full-bodied, sweet and pleasant. If Drop d'Issey was darker and more mature.
