Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum

A spring garden in a bottle. I went into Macy's and tried this expecting nothing, and thought it might end up smelling cheap and tacky (based on what I've heard, at least), but ended up completely falling in love. It smells like a dewey, flower-filled backyard with an immaculate, fresh-cut lawn, right after a rainstorm, with intense sunlight shining down through the dark clouds. (I know that's a very specific vibe, but smelling this brought me nostalgia and unlocked that exact childhood memory I'd lost through time.) From a technical standpoint, the scent profile is quite floral-dominant (slightly unusual for a masculine fragrance but it works so well). The opening is a sweet rose (that I'd say smells more like rosewater) balanced by spicy notes to capture a youthful vibe. The rose is omnipresent through the drydown, and holds on as an anchor or a "medium" for the rest of the notes. White florals are introduced in the heart, and the base captures an aromatic woodiness. I would argue there's a hint of unlisted green notes throughout, something like vetiver, grass, or verbena (it's hard to tell). Performance-wise, it lasts and projects as you'd expect a fresh designer eau de parfum to, 5-7 hours with moderate projection for 2-3 hours. It's not earth-shattering, but it's ideal for the price. I'd probably use this on casual days throughout the spring and summer, especially during the springtime, or on nature walks/dates. If I'm going to visit a botanical garden, or spend the day hiking or exploring a forest, this cologne would help me fit right in. Overall, Gucci Guilty Eau de Parfum has exceeded my expectations. I went in thinking I'd be disappointed, yet I walked out pleasantly surprised. If you have your quips about this smelling cheap, classless or generic because either you heard it somewhere or you're assuming so because it's Gucci, I'm here to put your concerns to rest. Believe me, it's worth it. One of the best spring designer fragrances out there.

This is a very, very, very strange and daring fragrance. I’m a fan of Guilty EDT and Guilty Intense - they generally get destroyed by fragrance snobs but they’re safe and very mass appealing, call them some of my guilty pleasures if you will (no pun intended haha). I will say that, to me, this is not as similar to the original EDT version as some others make it seem. The original is really clean, slightly sweet, a bit green, synthetic. This one makes some MAJOR (and pretty ballsy) changes, it’s much more soapy and floral, the opening is almost acidic. I certainly detect the rose and the vinegar-y chili pepper accord here. Upon first spray, this stuff can literally smell HOT. I usually don’t think of “spicy food” when I say a fragrance is “spicy”, but if I get a big whiff of this upon first spraying it can, quite literally, sting my nostrils (pretty sure the chili pepper and vinegar does it) I actually really like it. No, scratch that, I freakin love it... but man it’s weird and baffling... kind of clean but pungent, kind of cool overall but with a hot opening, kind of sharp and vintage masculine with some soft, feminine, floral vibes... really hard to describe. I do get a very “culinary” type smell from it but it doesn’t feel gourmand. It kind of smells “gummy” and honestly the scent reminded me of my third grade teacher (a woman) who would always chew cinnamon gum and wear perfume (really fascinating how scents can recall such memories). With all these impressions noted, I can only say this scent fascinates me and I feel like some would consider it an absolute masterpiece while others would call it a hot mess. It’s polarizing, it’s odd, it’s kind of bold and masculine but strangely feminine... soapy, flowery, slightly green, with a strong opening of fresh rose and... cooking ingredients. Yep. Guilty AF.

First and foremost I feel bad for the Gucci Guilty line. I get it, these fragrances aren’t “challenging” or “interesting”. But to me that’s okay, there’s nothing wrong with making fragrances that smell good. Just my opinion, but I like the Gucci Guilty line far better than the Dior Sauvage line and I’m a giant Dior fan. I enjoy though with this one, the slight bit of complexity compared to its counterparts in the line. It still has that extremely clean mass appeal, but the rose is front and center. It’s a beautiful one might I add. Also, the “salt and vinegar” vibe is there but not like a bag of chips. It’s just got a cool little funk to it that the nose picks up to make it that more interesting. You also get the beautiful neroli and orange blossom which is a nice touch to bring elegance to the scent. I am not a trained nose that went to school for this shit, but I’m imagining the masculine aspect of this fragrance comes from the base notes cedar and patchouli. But when I say masculine I don’t mean macho, thus could be elegantly worn by a woman. I think that’s actually what I love about this fragrance. Anyways, it isn’t beast mode so slap a few extra sprays on, or just deal with it sitting closer to the skin. These types of beautiful, elegantly clean scents are not and should not be monstrous. I get about 6 hours with close to the skin projection. This is a scent for me and for those close to me. So office friendly, will not blow the doors off anyone. I highly recommend trying. One of my favorite scents.

Honestly, among the Gucci Guilty flankers I own (I also have the EDT Black and the Parfum version), the difference in scent profile across the line isn't drastically huge. However, the Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum is the one that feels the most distinct and possesses its own character. (Though, I must confess, the Guilty Black remains a top favorite for me too!) This EDP opens up with a beautiful, clean freshness that makes it incredibly versatile. I genuinely believe this is an all-season scent. On hotter days, 1-2 sprays are perfect. When the weather cools down, I go for 3-4 sprays for a warmer, fuller effect. Now, let's talk performance: This stuff is a beast! It stays on my skin for well over 8-10 hours. The longevity is seriously impressive and a major selling point. The magic truly lies in the dry down. The combination of Rose and Chili Pepper is the heart and soul of this fragrance. It gives off a sensation that is simultaneously Spicy/Hot and deeply Romantic. It's clean enough for the office if you go light, but for me, this EDP shines brightest on special occasions. I mostly wear it for dates—strolls with my girlfriend, weekend getaways, or cozy dinner nights. It just screams romance and confidence! If you are looking for a Gucci Guilty that steps slightly away from the signature DNA while maintaining excellent performance and offering a sexy, spicy-floral twist, the EDP is a must-try. A solid, unique love! It’s easily tied with Guilty Black as my favorite in the entire line.

I have been in the fragrance game for almost 10 years now and I must admit, the first time I have ever been "wow'd" by a fragrance was when I was on an airplane to Cali in early 2011 and there was an ad in a magazine for the original Gucci Guilty. Upon sniffing the ad, I was totally blown away. I remember telling myself that I would totally be buying it at fashion island when I landed. Well, when I got there and found the bottle, I realized it was almost $80 and said, "hell no!!" This was before I was a big collector and thought that price was INSANE! Anyhow, I eventually bought Gucci Guilty a year or two later and it ended up being a disappointment. Whenever I wore it, it became something that made me nauseous. Something about it just messed with me. It was a total lady killer, but I just could not do it. This new GG EDP is so much better and so much more rounded out. It has no "cheap" vibe to it. It is a beautiful creation. It smells like the original, only so much more refined and complex. This is so worth the price. It is a massively desirable fragrance to everyone around you. It is soapy in all the right ways, velvety, smooth, dark-yet-light, and just pure sexy. Finally an elaborate and refined flanker!

I wrote a review on this previously but after having this for a few months I can now say it’s an absolute masterpiece. In the air and when it’s wet on skin, it has a very strange but almost addictive scent of rose and the hint of balsamic vinegar, which seems gross but it smells really unique, sweet, and masculine trust me. After about ten minutes, the dry down is amazing. It smells woody, aromatic, with a hint of masculine rose, and spiciness from the balsamic vinegar. I can see how some people might be put off by this fragrance when it has not dried down and they just smell it in the air in the store, so thank you for gatekeeping it. But the dry down lasts 8+ hours on my skin and projects perfectly, to the point where it’s not overpowering but people will DEFINITELY notice you. It’s not the type of fragrance where people say “phffew who is wearing so much cologne.” It’s more so “wow that person smells really good and unique.” I don’t wear this every day, but when I do wear it, I can be sure to pull at least one compliment for certain. And the best part is, it’s so unique yet so mass-appealing. You will stand out from the crowd when you wear this, but still appeal to a large audience

Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum (EDP) is a woody, floral and balsamic fragrance. Its opening is very attractive, it feels woody and floral, an aroma that seemed to me of cypress, with the note of rose as the main protagonist and a balsamic touch. I really liked the opening scent, they have managed to make the floral note of the rose in this case smell very masculine, it is as if they had given a more serious and mature tone to the Guilty line (Guilty Absolute is already mature). After about 2 hours it reaches its middle phase where the characteristics of almost all the fragrances of the Guilty line for men are recognizable, with the notes of lavender, orange blossom, neroli and patchouli, but always with the presence of the rose. . I really liked this new EDP version, because of its aroma, its versatility and because I think it is an excellent alternative to fragrances like Sauvage, Invictus or Y by YSL. It seems to me that it may be a signature fragrance because I do not think it will be as popular as others, it seems appropriate for formal and casual situations, also its performance is also good, with me it lasts about 10 hours. I think it could be used throughout the year.

I was able to smell it at a store, off a piece of paper and immediately fell in love with the scent. Theres something to it in that particular paper that must have had something, as its been a month and the paper still fills whatever drawer i put it into with that intoxicatingly lovely smell, now my glasses case smells of it, couldnt be happier. Ordered immediately, upon arrival i applied on my skin and i feel like the smell is honestly quite a bit different, i do get whiffs of what i smelled on the paper, but its conceptually different on me. I still very much enjoy it and wont be my last time ordering a bottle. Try it on skin. Or in paper, youll fall in love with it anyways. Feels very much like a transitional season scent. not quite winter, not quite summer. Works in spring and fall best. even then id say its a safe all year bet. Worth giving a try, smells nice and its not polarizing in opinion, people will etiher love it or be ok with it, wont get you hate like some other designer fragances have gotten me. Hermessence Muguet Porcelaine being an example of one people have thrown hate at, i love it anyways. Cheers, can recommend.

This is a really nice scent. My 16 year old daughter picked it out for me as a Christmas gift and she did well! The opening is fresh and a bit soapy with some floral notes that are balanced nicely with a bit of earthiness presumably from the salt and balsamic vinegar. If the vinegar note scares you, by the way, rest easy - it's not a recognizable element at all to me. As it dries down, I can pick up the nice rich rose and lavender along with the orange and some woodiness. That slightly organic earthy element hangs on throughout. As someone who typically doesn't gravitate to floral scents, this is one I can get on board with. The florals are very well-balanced, not cloying at all, and they work within the still masculine overall accord. This is an all-season scent for me, fresh enough for summer but still wearable in cold temps. The longevity here is okay though I might hope for better given the typically somewhat high price point. Overall, a versatile and likeable scent that gives a floral-leaning cologne a solid standing in my collection.

Yes the rose is at the the top of the accords but it's not as strong as most would think . Not nearly as strong. When I first tested it that's not what came to mind. When I looked up the notes I was very surprised. I don't like rose heavy fragrances. There are very few that I think are just ok. This one doesn't have that thick rose note that feels like it sticks to your nostrils. I get clean aromatic and kinda soapy before rose. It's a really clean almost watered down rose. To me at first spray you get clean elegant soapy white florals , balsamic vinegar that gives it that little twang with a rose note that keeps coming on but never screams or overpowers everything else. To put it simple for those familiar with the Gucci guilty clean white floral DNA . Add creamy aromatics, a light dark tang and a light, clean but bold rose. It smells clean and classy. Perfect for date night, a suit, a nice occasion. Performance is ok. 6 hours . Strong projection for maybe an hour and a half . Average sillage . I like this more than I thought I would. 7/10

I was gifted this from my sister and her husband, some of the best people I know. It’s a fresh grassy meadow and flowers on a rainy spring morning. Hardly guilty of anything but smelling super fresh. Upon first wear, it came across as a very new scent profile to me. Grassy green in the opening and then struck me as quite a bit of a feminine ozonic floral. Not in a “too feminine” sort of way, it just shared similarities with a couple of my wife’s fragrances. 9/10 pleasant though. After a few wears, it’s a much less distinctive DNA. At times it’s not far from reminding me of a high end interpretation of a high end soap or beauty product. That said, I’m still getting acquainted and it’s been 10-20 degrees F here. I’m sure it will be fantastic in spring and summer. Overall it’s high quality, subdued and not loud. Definitely mild-mannered and safe for office, while not smelling bland or played-out. Intriguing enough for dates, refined enough for formal, yet calming enough for bed or relax time.

There are simply too many flankers out there these days-even Gucci Guilty has a lot-and this one is the best with Guilty Absolute 1000%!!!! It has Gucci Guilty Dnk, added rose flower for creaminess, super improved performance, the bottle is perfectly matte black, cedar and neroli create freshness, patchouli is careful not to become too sweet, lavender once again conjured its beauty... What are you waiting for - if you don't buy it, you're being robbed of one of the most beautiful designers... Compliments flow very well for the first couple of hours... Gentlemen,elegant and classy fragnance! People say all kinds of things, they spit on perfumes - which they haven't even smelled because they haven't even been released yet (a lot of times do this):D You don't have to believe it - when you're in the store, test it yourself - but not on a piece of paper - on your own skin - here she shows her real beautiful green creamy sexy picture of herself! Ohhhh black beauty!!

Been wearing this beautiful fragrance since 2021 and it's one of my most interesting fragrances in my collection. The rose in this fragrance is done very well along with that neroli and lavender is my favorite parts of this fragrance but honestly I love this from top to bottom. I don't understand why this isn't talked about more in the community but I believe this is a good rose fragrance from a designer brand that's not boring or mass appealing. Fall early winter and spring is when I wear this fragrance and it preforms really well with longevity around 8+ hours on skin and clothing with good projection for the first 2 hours. Just wanted to warn that if you over spray this fragrance it will come off strong so be careful, I made this mistake once myself so less is more with this one. This is a fragrance that I would re purchase when my bottle is finished or maybe before I finish it? 9.8/10 great creative designer fragrance.

Smells like the guilty line but with added earthy dirty rose The dry down on this is amazing like a peppery watery fresh rose. Also kind of reminded me of “precious liquids salt & pepper just in the opening. And it last long could smell it all night even after trying to wash it off my hand. Bought a bottle once I smelt the dry down. I’d skip the “parfum” if you already have the edt. Parfum performance on skin and on paper with sad and faint like 30 mins even had coworkers trying to detect it. Buy the EDP for a slight DNA change and EDT beats the Perfume in performance like in Eros To me the rose isn’t overpowering or elderly smelling but if you arnt the biggest fan of rose I’d test first. Setting/vibe: if you wear a lot of black, dark red, dark grey. Trip-hop/ downtempo Lounge type vibes. This is a in that party scene but totally different vibes. This is like Versace Eros for the lounge setting comes to mind.

This stuff smells like MONEY you will smell rich wearing this. I love this fragrance because it's super versatile and wont offend anyone. Its not weak, but its not super strong so you wont choke anybody out. The best way to describe this fragrance is imagine a SWEET RAIN SHOWER. This stuff smells exactly like a rainy day, but cleaner and sweeter. I love the smell of rain personally so this stuff is just so good. This is great for the office just don't overspray. It's smells PROFESSIONAL and CLASSY. This stuff is also great for date nights as the scent is masculine while having some familiar feminine notes, so you'll show you're date that you are a manly man who is still in touch with his feminine side. As for age range, this stuff is definitely for more of a mature man but great for a younger guy trying to portray a professional picture of himself.

Intense floral for 30 to 40 minutes, slightly balsamic and with a little zing that is probably the "salt" note, the pepper makes everything round here. It gets super clean/soapy after that with a tamed rose note where you don't get anything balsamic really, rose doesn't feel like the main note to me after the dry down it's not a sharp realistic rose like Toy Boy or Ferrari Essence Oud it's more like rose and lavender really well blended together with a white floral behind making it bright and creamy like the original Gucci Guilty I guess. It projects well for 2 hours, and lasts 6 maybe 7 hours... I blind bought it because I found a great deal and I'm really glad, I have around 30 fragrances in my collection and none of them smells quite like this. If you want a super clean scent with a bit more character added to it go for it.

Best in the line! Having owned this Guilty flanker for two years now, I can confidently say that it stands out as the best in the Pour Homme line. It seemed like a bold move for Gucci, considering the Guilty fragrances gets so much hate, So this perfume with its unique composition (men’s fragrance at that) certainly comes with its challenges. The combination of rose, chili, and a spicy kick of salt & vinegar give it a daring allure. I also detect the orange blossom, adding a “fresh” white floral sensation to the scent. The patchouli and cedar notes give it a “dark” characteristic that I absolutely love. It’s mysterious, warm, unorthodox, and not mass-appealing, which may seem counterintuitive, but it’s what makes the fragrance stand out. I hope other designers take more risks like this instead of always going the safe route

Hidden gem. The rose is a great twist you don't see as the most prolific scent in men's fragrances often. Has definitely been a compliment getter for me, great date night fragrance, or if you were getting with a group of people that don't really take fragrances as seriously and want to stick out a little. The sillage isn't the best, definitely more of an intimate fragrance, most of my compliments from this one come from women if I am talking to them one on one. My biggest gripe with it is the longevity, after 5-6 hours I can't really smell it anymore, not sure if it is because I am noseblind, or just weak longevity, but overall it is amazing. Very seductive, mysterious, and overall extremely pleasant and slept on compared to the other Gucci Guilty colognes. Performance: 7/10 Scent: 9.5/10 Sillage: 7.5/10 Overall: 8/10

Experience the unexpected with this vibrant fragrance that blends together distinct accords to create a truly unique scent. Imagine dining at a bustling downtown restaurant, surrounded by the woodsy aromas of the space, the spicy scents of the food, and the fresh, sparkling notes of mimosas. As you sit, you catch a hint of a soft and fresh rose scent from the person at the next table, adding a delicate touch to the bold and modern Fougere aroma you're wearing. But it's not just the food and drink that make this scent so special - it's the unexpected blend of citrus and rose with a classic guilty patchouli base, giving it a balsamic sweetness that's truly unforgettable. Whether you're wearing it to a fancy brunch or simply looking to add some excitement to your everyday routine, this fragrance is sure to be a hit.

Glad I took the chance and grabbed this the other day instead of getting AQD pro. I wanted some Patcheuli and for the money it was tough to pass on a new Gucci Guilty. I know Gucci takes alot of cheap shots, but this is super good for a $100 designer cologne. It's versatile, office to dinner to casual in spring, super masculine & different. The rose really steps this up & the soapy lavender creamy vibe with some spices just works. Signature scent worthy. I will wait for the Parfum, not paying $165 cause it's just this a little smoother & rich. Really good as well. Similar so both be redundant imo. Give this a shot, sample for sure, it's not for everyone, it can be viewed as unisex to some, but for me, just works terrific. Impossible to offend anyone, it makes a statement which is also a plus.

Sampled this at the Gucci store on Rodeo Drive. Its not terribly special, but smells wonderful. Can be worn day or night for any occasion, but I would prefer it for formal events. I can easily imagine someone wearing this to a wedding, for example. I think the floral notes combined with the pepper and wood make it very safe, gentlemanly, and yet elegant. This is for the man who wants a clean, gentlemanly smell that doesn't scream clubbing but is still alluring. However, its so safe that I would not consider it a candidate for being my signature scent. Can't quite comment on the performance. There was barely any juice left in the bottle when I sampled it. This is an 8.5/10 (not counting performance) that I would confidently purchase as a gift and might even buy for myself in the future.

My review might be biased, as it's based purely on 3 (sic!) small samples. Maybe other opinions mentioning poor longetivity and sillage were from newer batches, but honestly, it lasts nearly from the morning until evening with constantly potent parameters, which I did not expect from anything coming from Coty. The scent itself was quite meh for me when I tried it for the first time, but the combo of woody rose grew on me with time and each subsequent wearing, and now it's something I'm considering buying. Definitely the best from the current lineup, as EDT is correct and without any fireworks, but last actually short, parfum and this black version are passable for me. If you are able to grab a big bottle for nice price - don't hesitate. It's safe, it's pleasant, it's potent

This is very unique. No other ways to describe it. I own almost 40 different colognes and this smells nothing like the rest. It stand out on its own. Yes most Gucci colognes are a bit synthetic and aren't worth full retail. This one I paid full retail because I had to have it. The Rose opening with the salt and vinegar combo as well as Red chili pepper is so different, yet so well blended. It smells like it's worth as much as I paid for. It's not synthetic to my nose. I get every bit of 8+ hours on my skin. Suited for the fall and spring in my mind. It's an exceptional fragrance coming from a line that has been up and down and gets a lot of mixed reviews. This one is arguably their best alongside Oud and Absolute. 8.5/10. Don't blind buy though. It isn't for everyone.

Was not expecting much from this release when a sales associate from Ulta came up to me to ask me to try it. But when I did! Whoooooa. It really grabbed me. A bit dark but fresh and clean but still a little dirty. A bit like Kouros but without the heavy musk. I really really like this. It’s not as generic as the original. Much more daring and out there. It leans towards the more woody and darker side while still keeping the clean and fresh vibe. The scent is very smooth and nice. My only qualm is that I wished it projected more. But I didn’t really go overboard w the sprays. I guess I’ll keep reapplying after a few hours. Still worth a try. Test before buying because in the dry down it does show a little similarity to the original but in a very good way.

Unique but also not unapproachable! As in, it's got some really interesting notes like vinegar and chili pepper, but it could also appeal to any person who knows nothing about perfume and just wants to smell good. You know what I mean? It's not generic but it's also not like a zoologist frag. Imo it's super sexy. Not sultry, per se, but it's attractive, elegant. Clean-fresh, and a suave spicy drydown with a rosy heart. This is a good example of masculine rose. The chili pepper blends in so well with the rose that you really can't feel it unless you sniff it out, even though it still has the spicy-tingle, at least on my skin. And it's versatile! So...pool-safe, office-safe, date-safe...so, so good. Definite love for me!

To start, I purchased this fragrance 4 days ago from Sephora for full retail 😀. With my birthday discount, of course. I’m a big fan of the Guilty line except Absolute 🤮. Which I have always (mixed up) & thought the EDP was. Well I was wrong.. This fragrance is awesome! I’ve worn it now for 3 days straight. So that should tell you something. Don’t sweat the note breakdown. The salty vinegar note fades away quickly and is hardly noticeable. But the rose 🌹 is just done so well. With 5-6 sprays, I get a solid hours 8 of longevity. The silage is good enough too, as well. The Guilty Parfum was my favorite, but the EDP is currently gaining on it. I would overall rate this fragrance a solid 8.5/10 and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.

A daring fragrance, but really original and well done, the note list is correct, there is something acidic and salty in the opening, almost savoury. Don't like very much this part as I find a bit odd and really far from what I thought it would smell like, but it doesn't last very long. The mid and drydown change a lot, it becomes more of a traditional fragrance, where the rose, patchouli, lavender are the most prominent notes, even a trace of a soapy note. It smells woody and masculine at this stage, the rose note is superb, not too present, masculine, and with a creamy facet. It almost smells like a modernized 70's or 80's structure and type of fragrance. Think Antaeus or Van Cleef Pour Homme with a modern edge.

@gucci Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum. This stuff is so sweet it will make your stinky butt smell sexy. Yes...even you. A mix of rose and red chili pepper up front makes for a really fine first spray. Orange blossom, lavender and neroli make up the heart and keep the flowery vibe rolling. Base notes of cedar and patchouli hang on all day. I’m on a 12 hour shift at work and it’s just starting to fade, but it’s still amazing. I’m a new member of #teamoversprayers but you could go to town with this and it won’t offend. The moral to this story is I definitely need more Gucci in my life. Specifically the Guilty flankers. I’ve heard Guilty Absolute is amazing but you really can’t go wrong with Pour Homme EDP.

Just finished reviewing the original Gucci Guilty. The EDP is much the same, but improves on the original's formulation by adding rose at the top. This really classes this fragrance up! Don't worry about the vinegar and chili notes. You won't smell like a bag of chips. Honestly, I can't really detect them. Maybe if I close my eyes and think about it. Basically, the EDP is Gucci Guilty in a nice sport coat. During the dry down, I'm hard pressed to tell the two apart, but that opening stands out enough to warrant a bottle. Performance is average. 5 ish hours of longevity and about an hour or two of sillage. Can be had reasonably priced at discounters. Bottle looks great. No brainer to me!

Quite simply...this is very solid. It’s fresh and clean and smooth and lasts pretty good on my skin. I’m not getting that infamous “salt and vinegar” smell. There’s a saltiness there, more like ADG profumo if anything at least to me, with a great balsamy & perfect floral quality to it. To me, it’s a safe blind buy and must have if you’re familiar with Gucci especially the Guilty line. If not, I’ll still say it’s relatively safe bet as long as you’re good with the listed notes here and elsewhere. I’ll definitely be using for work, formal and informal and anywhere I feel this would suit me. And seems great all year even in the winter if and when you need a little brighter day.

Opens up with what I would described as a "flavored" rose. The listed notes come across as a bit of a marketing ploy, but I do pick up on some salty, spicy nuances in a clean rose accord. As the scent develops you pick up the other floral elements in addition to the rose, and it dries down to a pleasant, patchouli-heavy base. Pretty solid performance of 6-7 hours, sillage is about what you'd expect from an EDP. Versatile scent that can be worn casually or in more formal settings, good for all seasons and times except the hottest summer days. Big fan of this release in a sea of blues, nicely done masculine floral with some twists that make it unique.

Stunning. Every time I wear this I have to keep sniffing it. It kind of does have that "cologney" type of smell that you would get from other super basic fragrances but you mix that with the sweetness of the rose and the spiciness of the chili pepper and it creates an absolutely beautiful scent. Its versatile enough to be worn all year round (although I do prefer wearing it in the colder weather) and unique enough that you wont get tired of it super quickly. It also has this feel of mystery around it as well, if you have smelled it you will know what I mean. If you're looking for a versatile signature scent I cant recommend this enough.

This is the first cologne I ever got and it set the bar high. It is unique but it works extremely well. The rose is not feminine, as it's been blended great with the other top notes. I will say, the vinegar/pepper combo can be a little strong at first, but once it starts drying down the floral notes come through and it becomes much more smooth and seductive. My girlfriend adores this cologne. My friend wore it out to a party and was getting crazy compliments. Definitely a chick magnet. I'd say it's perfect but the opening can be a litttttle sharp at times. Just go easy with the spraying. Performance and longevity are both above average

So odd! I’ve smelled a lot in designers and to me this perplexing. It shifts character with every minute and my mind is trying to get a grip of this scent profile, without much success I might add. It’s not pure masculine, but yet I don’t know since it’s so non-traditional. I have no idea if this would get compliments or not. I’m clueless, and intrigued with Guccis guts. They are the most brave designer house in the last ten years. Guilty line takes huge risks and how could I not like that? Just smell this yourself. This is pleasing, mysterious and avant garde. The washing room advert sort of makes sense now.

Wore this fragrance to church this morning and I must say that I'm going to reach for this more often because the rose in this fragrance is nice and smooth. What I get mostly is the rose 🌹, lavender 🪻, and cedar wood 🪵. This fragrance is not loud but I was able to catch whiffs of it the entire time during service and after service which is equal to 8+ hours of longevity and 3.5 hours of mild projection on skin and clothing. Very underrated fragrance by Gucci and I do recommend sampling before purchasing because there is no vanilla in this fragrance and that might turn most people off. 8/10 for me.

This was the first fragrance that I ever bought and it's been my signature ever since then. It's my absolute favorite from the Gucci Guilty line because there's something about the masculine rose in the opening that drew me into this fragrance which lingers throughout the heart and transforms into a more dark and seductive scent as the base notes start to become more expressed. Overall, it's a very classy and versatile fragrance that lasts for a good amount of time with just the right sillage.

Incredibly fresh and bright up front, it smells like a good shower gel. It starts as a very masculine and clean scent, but dries down to a strong floral and with a hint of spice from the pepper. After it had been on my skin for a while I was only really smelling the rose and lavender. With 2 sprays it stayed pretty close to the skin, radiating an arms length at most. The people I’ve asked say they really like it, but agree that it is more unisex and not a purely masculine scent.

I personally find this a bit different. The vinegar and salt makes this very edible smelling, like a fresh salad. It's delectable to me. I agree it can be described as having a darker, greener edge. Price point is a little higher, which will discorurage some. I bought it early on in my fragrance journey because the vinegary smell really intrigued me. I think one can argue that gucci is a bit more elevated as a designer brand, thus they charge a bit more than others.

Although I feel it is on of the most overlooked in the Guilty line, it is really really enjoyable. The rose is definitely the most prominent note, but there is still woodyness and spicy layering at the same time. Although it has no vanilla notes, it’s still pretty sweet, but having no vanilla makes it great for basically any season as it’s subtle for the spring and cooler summer days while also feeling warm and sweet for the winter and fall. 9/10 would recommend.

This is a great surprisingly well priced floral spring fragrance. It is almost straight rose with some pepper at the opening and lavender in the drydown. The rose is calming and realistic; also less common in men’s perfume which makes this a more unique choice. The performance is not fantastic but the rose does carry through the lifetime of the fragrance. I would consider it a great pickup from discounters for the spring; it can be worn all day and night.

I always say that anything with florals will lean unisex but this one is blended so well that it really stands out in the sea of designer fragrances. This is the most masculine fragrance that I have smelt with florals so far. While I can imagine some females wearing it, it will take a certain type to really pull it off. Moderate longevity but great sillage for me. The only con for me is the 90ml volume over traditional 100ml

This combination really shouldn't work right? It does! Unique. There's nothing else on the market that i think smells like this. Opens with a zesty tangyness of the balsamic vinegar but with a masculine rose underneath it and a little woodiness. Then it dries down to a rosey wood but the vinegar zest is now underneath the rose. It's a combination that really shouldn't work but somehow actually pulls in compliments for me.

Smells gorgeous and unique and memorable and DARING and mysterious without being offensive. Yet this is for confident successful gentlemen who’s not afraid of standing out or taking what he wants. The performance is also good and this is one of the fragrances that has character and personality. Enjoy the beautiful rose smell overall soft yet masculine.don’t buy this if you lack confidence or searching for safe fragrance.

Very good rose fragrance 🌹 the salt and balsamic vinegar gives this fragrance a unique aroma that I like. The more I wear this fragrance the more I love it and the longevity is great for me with moderate sillage unless you spray on skin and clothing then it projects pretty loud IMO. I will be grabbing another bottle of this when I run out and that means for me this is a 10/10 fragrance.

I’ve been hunting for a fragrance that’s fresh and clean, yet dark and mysterious. This is it. A lot of the dark, mysterious fragrances I wear are unisex and very warm and thick, and now I have one that’s very fresh and masculine without being generic in the slightest. The performance is okay, a bit lacking given the price point, but the scent profile is worth the money in my opinion.

Well, this is very interesting! It.s a great rose scent, not feminine at all, very alluring! The vinegar/salt gives a fresh vibe! Perfect for spring and cooler summer days! Every time I wear it l, gives me a positive and warm vibe! IMO it.s a safe blind buy, unless you think that it might be feminine due to the rose! Very modern and chic gentleman's type of a fragrance!

Here are some words I never thought I’d say: “balsamic vinegar is a great fragrance note.” An airy rose compliments the savory notes incredibly well. My nose picks up the lavender, cedar, patchouli about 15 minutes after the initial spray, and they remain entangled with the opening notes for the duration of the wearing. This fragrance is remarkable, I love it!

I love every aspect of this fragrance. The opening mix of rose, pepper, and vinegar go so well together. It reminds me of trimming rose bushes. I think this is perfectly unisex as well. The dry down does become a bit woodsy after a few hours but the rose lingers into the dry down with that. I’ll be repurchasing once I run out of the bottle I have. 10/10

Going to a nice Italian restaurant this evening and I'll be reaching for this beautiful fragrance for tonight 🌆. I won't ever be without this perfume because it's just that good to me and I strongly recommend this for the spring season and great for nights out. 10/10 fragrance for me and longevity is lasts long enough for my outing tonight.

I was contemplating to get the Gucci Guilty Parfum or EDP. Based on reviews on Fragrantica, I decided to get the EDP. I don't regret getting it. I was concerned about smelling too rosy with the EDP, but after a few times wearing it, I must say the rose smells very masculine. The smell is also comforting and definitely office friendly.
