Guilty Elixir de Parfum Pour Femme
Guilty Elixir de Parfum Pour Femme by Gucci is a feminine-leaning elixir from 2023 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, mandarin and violet, moves into wisteria, rose and osmanthus and dries down to vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Heart
- Wisteria Sweet and airy, somewhere between lilac and honeysuckle.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
