Guilty Elixir de Parfum Pour Homme
Guilty Elixir de Parfum Pour Homme by Gucci is a masculine-leaning elixir from 2023 in the designer price tier. It opens with nutmeg and pimento, moves into orange blossom, orris butter and osmanthus and dries down to vanilla, ambroxan, benzoin and patchouli. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Orris Butter The expensive form of iris. Cold, buttery, faintly carrot and violet.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
