Guilty Crush

Oh I am in love! This is a definite LOVE for me. This was my very first purchase of a Thoo “House of Oud” fragrance, and boy am I NOT disappointed at all! Guilty crush is absolutely gorgeous. This is a true lipstick fragrance, and I adore it. When you first spray, you get the champagne and strawberry for sure. I also smell a bit of black cherry and the LIPSTICK note the most! This fragrance is so beautiful! If you are not into lipsticky fragrances, then this would probably not be for you. I adore modern lipsticky, so the champagne strawberry and lipstick is killer! Now the champagne note isn’t “sparkly” it’s more like it’s been sitting out for a couple of hours, but in a good way! The strawberry and black cherry swirl together along with the lipstick, and it creates such a fun, feminine, flirty, EASY reach for me. This is definitely female. There is no unisex about this one. The lipstick note is MOST dominant, so like I said if you’re not into that, I wouldn’t waste my time. This is such a classy feminine fragrance. I adore it. The dry down is just as beautiful on the skin. I get the champagne STILL, along with the strawberry and lipstick. You can smell the vanilla, but it’s not that strong. The benzoin is also noticeable, but you really get the lipstick, strawberry, and champagne the most which I LOVE! My husband adores it and called it an immediate “boxer dropper” lol! If your not into champagne as a note, I probably wouldn’t go for this either. Champagne and lipstick dominate that’s for sure, but it’s gorgeous the way the notes are blended. Another strong point as to why I love this fragrance is the LONGEVITY AND SILLAGE! I sprayed on me last night, and could still smell it on me 6 7 hours later! The sillage actually leaves a trail as well. A beautiful trail at that. This is pure seduction in a bottle. That’s another love as well the bottle. It’s super pretty and has that house of oud “egg” look to it. Beautiful designs with “Your a star” perfect for this kind of fragrance. I really am in love, and I’m so glad I picked this up. I got it off Mercari for 120$! Authentic brand new bottle! I’m a sucker for guilty crush! This is perfect for a girly girl. It’s also perfect for a woman who knows what she wants. Great for all ages really, but probably a bit too mature for a youngin. It’s a modern lipsticky fragrance, not vintage. I would say sample this before purchasing. I didn’t. I blind bought, and I am SO glad I did! One of my new favorites for sure! My husband’s too! Champagne, lipstick, and strawberry. Chefs kiss! Does remind me a bit of Victoria Secret Strawberries and champagne, BUT with a beautiful lipstick note added to it! Ughhh I love this sooooo much!!!

Guilty Crush has me swooning! A chic, girl-coded number with prominent notes of berries, champagne and lipstick, it puts one in the mood for fun, naughty things. I find it has just the right mix of saucy, sexy and delicious to be that perfect princess/vixen scent you’d reach for whenever you want to embrace your feminine energy.🍒🥂 Right away, I smell mouthwatering berry preserves, like the kind you find in round glass jars at artisanal patisseries. The berries are lush and glossy and plump, inviting you to lean in for a closer inhale. Their sweetness has a syrupy, lightly sugared texture that seamlessly blends with the creamy aroma of macaron-pink lipstick. I also pick up some soft iris nuances and a touch of earthy orris, covered with a smattering of candied violet petals. Champagne adds a kind of iridescent sparkle, putting a modern spin on the lipstick accord, while musks keep gourmand notes airy and chic. I’d also say that the blending of berries and bubbly translates into more of a Kir Royale experience for me, but I’m hardly complaining. There’s a light powdery finish to the scent, though overall it is creamy and smooth as custard, deepened by the dark, woody vanilla. I continue to get glimpses of pink macarons, especially if I imagine a berry macaron with a bite taken out, its edges tinted with the creamy rouge lipstick. Those who are worried about the lipstick note—I highly suggest you try it, anyway. The lipstick has a modern effervescent feel and is blended with a light touch so as not to overwhelm. To me, it gives the scent a coquettish kind of charm, making it both addictive and unique.💄 Received as PR

I wasn't expecting much from this. I thought it was just another waxy lipsticky scent which has been done so many times. However, the beautiful bottle drives me to order a sample, and I was so happy! The initial spray has already caught me - I really like it! It's not a conventional lipsticky scent. It has a distinct fruity twist, with a slight boozy touch that makes this fragrance modern and fun, but not in a juvenille way. The fruits are not overly sweet, but more on the juicy side. If the note breakdown didn't list wild strawberry, I wouldn't have been able to tell. It definitely doesn't smell like normal strawberry that is a lot sweeter. To be honest, I don't get much makeupy and waxy quality either, maybe because there is no blend of iris or violet, unlike other scents in the same genre. There was a tiny bit of musk that stung my nose in the opening, but quickly disappeared. I'd say Guilty Crush is pretty linear. It projects beautifully throughout a day without being loud. It's very approachable and feiminie. And I have already got my full bottle :)

LOVE THIS SCENT I love perfumes in all ranges, from sweet, like Grandma, to gourmand and vanilla. I like to change it up. I burned up my sample in a week, and I put it on before bed just cuz I could. MY NEW ADDICTION is this. Expect heavy rotation. The sillage is good I'm not getting last from room to room. It makes it just beyond your personal bubble and goes when you go. Totally agree with It smells like 'creaminess, in which the scarlet notes of black cherry and wild strawberry blend with champagne'; I love how it's described, but it is also a refined strawberry jam made for an adult who is young at heart. It's luscious. I don't get lipstick, it doesn't smell like any of mine. I got three compliments on it one day, some women said I smelled yummy. I mean, who doesn't want to be called Yummy? It did a cost analysis, and I will need a full size for this one. Just bought the full-size beautyliv for 200$ today

I'm really loving this! Delivers as intended, a rosy, champagne lipstick fragrance. I may be biased because I am a sucker for lipstick-y perfumes. And that bottle is just too pretty! Packaging (the bottle) holds a high value in my books, as part of the experience for me is picking up a pretty bottle of perfume and admiring its beauty before spraying. In fact, I used to buy a fragrance solely because I want the bottle, but I have refrained myself from doing so nowadays. Overall, like a reviewer below said, pretty bottle pretty scent! Do I think it is worth full price, probably not. I got it for $190 shipping included, but have some patience and you will definitely find it for way cheaper!

Notes according to me: * Dark sweet cherries. (Nothing tart) * Mauve pink “Mauve de Swann” Serge Lutens lipstick. * Crisp champagne over a bright and sweet strawberry sorbet. * Plastique vanilla musk. * Pretty Privilege The black cherry and dark rose combination is similar to that of Creed Carmina, but I feel like the rose stands out more in Carmina whilst the lipstick and fruity notes over power the rose in Guilty Crush. Other lipstick fragrances feel powdery or vintage, but this is vibrant and modern on me. There’s something nostalgic and plasticky in this that I love.

My for 4-5 hours this is really good! Can't say that I can identify the cherry but definitely that strawberry fruitiness, it's sweet but not sickly sweet. This was OH's first proper wear so might wait a bit to see if longevity increases as I'm not sure that 4-5 hours is worth +£200. Also according to my normal retailer,who stocks THOO, THOO has given exclusive rights to this to a retailer - probably Harrods or Selfridges if I had to guess- so actually buying it may be an issue.

I was lucky to receive a sample at a perfume event. This fragrance is gorgeous - syrupy sweet and multi layered between juicy berries and creamy Musc. I do also get a sense of lipstick accord. I personally love it and find it so sexy. Very date night appropriate. I’ve been wearing a good dose a couple hours now though and unfortunately while I can smell the original juicy layers wafting up from my shirt, my skin smells like my little pony circa 1986. I still love it though.

Nuclear! What a fragrance- lipstick, champagne, cherry, strawberry, jasmine, vanilla, and benzoin to us. Ultra feminine, and fills not only an entire room, but an entire house! Sillage and projection could not be any better from a single spray. This would be fitting for any season also, as it's not at all cloying. What a fragrance. We couldn't be happier to have snagged a bottle for such an amazing deal. Easy 100/100 for us.

BEAUTIFUL BOTTLE, BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE!!! Upon initial spray, I instantly get a huge burst of a juicy dark cherry note along with rose. It totally reminded me of Carmina (a top 10 for life). Then as it begins to settle, the lipstick note and the strawberry appear. BUT...that lipstick note is so feminine and powdery and it's what makes Guilty Crush so unique! This was a blind buy and an excellent addition to my collection.

This is beautiful! I pickup the strawberry and the lipstick the most, but it's blended to where none of the notes overwhelm the others. The lipstick gives it a soft powderiness that is present throughout the wear of the fragrance. It's very girly and feminine. For me this is signature scent worthy. I only have a decant for now, but I've wearing it everyday, so I will be picking up a bottle soon.

Not sure why there are such low marks for this, it's stunning! Only issue really is that it's hard to get in the UK,Selfridges & that's it. I see Carmina "mentioned" & TBH until I saw it I never thought about it that way but I've just sniffed them side by side & it's close,like really close! I'd say that GC is a bit more "loud" or stronger sillage. The debate now is does my OH need both?

I have a decant of this and I decided to give it a go today. I found the fragrance to be very pleasant and I really enjoyed wearing it. However it did remind me of Dama Bianca/junoon noir. Longevity was great and a little went a long way. However owning the other 2 it reminds me of means that I don’t need a full bottle of this even though it’s super pretty - both the bottle and the scent

She enters like a blush, unexpected, undeniable. Citrus light dances on skin, mandarin and pink pepper laughing in the sun. Cherry blossoms drift, while rose and peony bloom. Then comes the amber and musk. It’s the scent of stolen seconds, of hearts that never meant to fall, but did. This is not love. This is the moment just before. A crush, too sweet to stop. Too guilty to resist.

Wow!! The reviews !! This is absolutely beautiful, gorgeous fruity powdery amber bomb,good longevity and amazing if you like "lipstick feel" perfumes. So extremely delicious do not listen to the negative reviews,test it prior but this for me is one of the top perfumes and I have a lot of them! It's not for those that like juvenile kiddy perfumes 😆

I bought this today and it was love at first sniff. It's rosey lipstick vibe is so different from anything else in my collection. It's fem leaning to me. I have mixed it with a masc leaning woody saffron and they are playing beautifully too. I think this would be great all year round really. It's just gorgeous.

Love, love, love this! Thick, waxy strawberry-cherry lipstick in the opening. Like a fancy, sophisticated cherry chapstick. The drydown is addictive! Soft, sweet, powdery, and undeniably feminine. Mature over juvenile, but it’s modern and fresh. Happy a took a blind buy risk on this!

I see this one sort of like La petite robe's lil cousin this one has great sillage imo but is not as "strong/heavy" To me it smells like sweet pink cosmetics if thats a thing not sure how to describe it but is a winner for me

Just wow!! The smell of Art Deco in a bottle! Starts fruity yummy strawberry fizz, but after 30 mins or so, the change is insane!! Lipstick real vintage smell of lipstick! I love it just because is so unusual 💕

Absolutely beautiful and feminine scent with great longevity and average silage It’s fruity creamy sparkly and very well blended The bottle is stunning 😍
