Gucci Guilty Love Edition Pour Femme 2024

I wrote a whole review but honestly I feel like none of it portrayed the extent of my feelings for this fragrance. I sprayed it once on the back of my hand in Ulta around 2:30pm on Sunday and I could still smell it the next day after washing my hands as usual, not being careful to not wash it off or anything. I left the house to see a movie today and came home and could smell it lingering in my room. I haven’t stopped thinking about it, to the point where I forgot about my favorite scent for an entire day. I’m not a ride-or-die patchouli fan. I find it to be overwhelming more times than not, so I approached this cautiously. I was searching for a scent with a different take on iris when I came across this, not expecting to find anything at all. Upon browsing Ulta’s offerings in-store, this was among the only ones that stood out to me. Of the ones that I tried, this is the only one I actually would buy. The lilac in the opening is not one that smells like an air freshener nor does it smell like a dewy spring lilac. The patchouli brings a sort of earthiness that downplays the freshness, but not in a way that suffocates it. Admittedly, during the wear it becomes a bit too dominant, and I find patchouli to be a note that catches in the back of my throat, making me feel like I’m going to be sick. The dry down mostly consists of an amber musk that leaves this earthy, slightly sweet lilac feeling warm and slightly powdery, a characteristic I tend to look for in a scent. That being said, if you don’t like patchouli or powdery scents, you probably want to pass on this one. I’ve never had any interest in the Guilty line before I came across this particular composition, but I plan to make myself better acquainted. I’ll admit I panicked a bit seeing that this was limited edition and almost bought it straight away, but I intend to acquire a sample before making a decision. The longevity alone is admirable, but projection is not farther than an arm’s length. Sillage is noticeable and long-lasting, but not strong. It’s just noticeable enough for someone passing you by to catch a good whiff of and have them thinking about it. The scent really does make me feel feminine and a bit amorous. After I wear this a bit more, I’ll decide whether to buy the full size or not. This one definitely left an impression on me though, out of the dozens I’ve tried in search of a warm, powdery, non-dusty and non-plasticky floral-musk.

Gucci Guilty Love Edition 2024 is hands down my favorite version since the original gold square bottle that I loved! I've tried every version since then, trying to recapture that feeling lol. It's very lilac-forward at first, and to me it lasts much longer than the 2021 version. I sometimes have a love/hate relationship with patchouli, but thankfully the patchouli in this is the sweet earthy, green, fresh kind. It really adds richness and longevity to the perfume. It might start off feeling cool and realistic like you're burying your head in a lilac bush, but it gets richer as it dries down, and becomes more warm, deep, and ambery. I think that is where the genius of this version lies. This is so pretty! The ingredients include hydroxycitronellal and alpha-isomethyl ionone, but this is not a powdery violet, it comes off as a freshly floral, sweet (not sugary) lilac mixed with lily of the valley. It's not really fruity either, like the raspberry 2020 version. Modern, not "matronly." I use 4 sprays (both elbows, both sides of neck) and on 4 out of the 5 days I wore it last week I got complimented and asked what I was wearing, so apparently people can smell it a few feet away about 4 or so hours after I applied it. Would be appropriate during Spring, Summer, and even Autumn. Days, not nights. It really smells PURPLE and I love the dusky purple bottle. I bought a 50mL, but will be going back for the bigger bottle before this limited edition disappears! It's not as rich or sweet as the Elixir, but I think it would be lovely to wear this one during the day and then spritz the Elixir over it in the evening for a little more oomph!

As with the male version in this love edition 2024, the notes are not 100% as declared by the brand, according to Gucci are essence of Patchouli, vanillin and oakmoss accord, but here there is much more and you can especially notice flowers, I feel the pristine cleanliness of the lilies of the valley and the most modern lilac like A drop by Issey and above all, the one it most resembles is another fragrance from the house of Gucci, which is from its private line. "Tears of the moon" I suspect that these love editions, like the previous ones, are the work of Alberto Morillas, as is Tears of the Moon, this love edition is not so similar to the one compared to 2020, that one had a very present raspberry along with it to the violet and in this one the floral of the lilac is felt more like in the 2021 edition but even so it is not as similar, this one has its own path, it is a clean floral fragrance with an almost solar lilac accompanied by the whiter and soapier lily of the valley, bathed by the slight sweetness of Patchouli and a shy bitter touch of that oak moss accord with a base (like inj the masculine one) of that very modern "ambroxanic" vanillin, but without sweet excesses, no extremities and just like the men's version, the color of the bottle honors the fragrance inside, bravo for these two new Gucci releases, I completely loved them. PS: if you like tears of the moon but find it excessively expensive, this would be a good option, although they have a similar vibe, it is not that they are the same.

I adore this perfume, in large part because I have had nothing but bad experiences with amber on my skin in the past - it tends to smell outdated and sour on me; this is the exception. I also personally avoid patchouli in household scents and candles because it just smells too herbal for me. Again, the patchouli note surprised me in the best way. Every time I put it in I instantly feel put together and feminine, and I wear it for any occasion, to include the gym and work. The notes at first glance sounded very old-ladyish to me but I was shocked by how much I loved it on my skin. The dry down is not drastically different from when I initially spray it on, which I love. Consistent, simple, ageless and something I can wear year round.

Gucci Guilty has been my signature fragrance since 2011. Started with the OG EDT and the intense, and I remember being devastated when it got discontinued and replaced with the newer EDP, which smelled completely different. Things got a little better with the more recent EDT, which has become my new go-to and was a lot closer to the original notes I love, and then a little worse with the new intense, which I can’t stand. But having recently purchased this, it’s brought back everything I remember loving about the original EDT and more. An easy, classic, soft-powdery-sweet floral. Just unfortunate that it’s a limited edition. Went for the 50ml, but will definitely be stocking up on the 90ml at a later point.

This is one of the best lilac inspired perfumes. It's very sophisticated and lasts for days on my skin, hair and clothes. I've been looking high and low and Gucci surprised me with this springy creation. It is not powdery, nor sweet and definitely not airy or too green like other perfumes I've tried. It's amazing and the ambery drydown is very original, not a powdery soup of notes. It's not similar to the Guilty original. I think they should rebrand it and call it Purple Love. An ode to lilac. Liliac is a symbol of love, resilience, hope and rebirth, it's also close to my heart as it reminds me of my wedding. What can I say? I love Love!

this is the best perfume I've ever spent my money on. I sprayed it in-store not thinking much of it, and later realized this perfume is the reason I smelled heavenly for the rest of the week (no joke, I could not get the smell off my jacket and scarf - NOT THAT I WANTED TO). It's such a sweet yet warm-spicy scent without being too overpowering. I literally can't get my man off me when I wear this perfume. 10/10 recommend, it smells good on so many people too! so it seems like it would be a safe blind buy.

i did not expect to like this frag as much as i do. the lilac on top is very sophisticated, and there is somehow an aquatic component to the scent. the base musk remains pretty powdery throughout the wear. all together there is something clean yet naughty about this scent, like cleaning yourself up with an expensive hygienic wipe after.. ahem... my only complaint is that i wish this lasted longer on the skin as i can only get a couple hours max out of it, but attaches itself to clothes a bit better

the most delicious wonderful thing my nose has ever had the pleasure of sniffing. it has all of my favorite scent components, beautiful lilac and powdery musk. i can still smell it days later on all my jewelry and i start smiling and kicking my feet when i get a whiff of it. i wish i did not fall in love with a fragrance i cant easily get on a discount site... if anyone knows if this smells the same as the pink one from 2020 plz let me know....

My latest purchase from Gucci, and this is so lovely. A Romantic floral beauty. Love at first sniff for me. It has lilac, amber, patchouli, and musk. When I sprayed it at the store, I asked them if it has a fruity note too ? and they said it does not ... Even the pyramid doesn’t show any fruity notes, but I definitely pick something sweet and fruity here. Either way, I love it. - Bhavna Darira Chesan

In a trip to Montana I smelled real lilac for the first time. I was in LOVE. I’ve been searching for that smell for so long- I usually hate it in perfumes because it’s so fake and powdery. Then I found this, and it captures it so beautifully. It’s floral, soft, feminine, dewy, and ever so slightly fruity. “Lovely” has been used a lot in its reviews, and it truly is.

I first sprayed a strip and thought nothing of it, but a couple of months later I sprayed it in my skin and MY GOD. IT WAS LOVE. It's if course very similar to original Guilty but it's so smooth, the lilac is incredible. I even tested other perfumes with a prominent lilac note, and nothing comes close. This is such an amazing blend. It's beautiful. 😍

I sell perfumes. The tester arrived today. I really liked this scent. The lilac scent is the note I feel the most. I also like patchouli. The lilac is in the foreground, patchouli comes as you wait. The matte lilac bottle is wonderfull. If you like lilac scents, you should definitely try it.

OMG! The moment it hit me, it took me straight back to my fave memories. This is so subtle, so simple, and far from generic. It’s versatile enough for all four seasons, especially during the day, for night time probably I would combine it with different scents like more woody ones.

Elegant Beautiful Classy For dates For day out in restaurant For pool party For every imaginable occasion during the day For brunch It's a no brainer Slightly sweet candy floral, so feminine...and the bottle is also nice Compliment getter from handsome men on street as well

Wauw..I had little expectations for this fragrance as I am not the biggest fan of Gucci fragrances in general...but this is a gorgeous scent, that is quite unique imo. I think she is full bottle worthy and I will ad her to my collection very soon.

silky and sophisticated, not too sweet nor headache-causing which i love in floral/musky fragrances. i prefer this one over original gucci guilty as well as the intense.

This is quite nice soft and powdery lilac scent. Certainly reminiscent of her predecessors. well done and stays long. Very feminine, motherly, gentle scent. I like it!

Went to go pick up the men’s version of this but tested this one out. Wound up buying it for my fiancé. Smells exactly what I want my woman to smell like

100 ml worthy Its soo modern..... ..feminine..calming..beautiful... Sexy..lady like..happy scent Just buy the big bottle immediately
