Gucci Guilty Oud Eau de Parfum Spray For Her, 90 ml

Product Information

Gucci Guilty Oud is inspired by a walk in the forest, and it certainly delivers on conjuring up a woody amble by night. Gucci Guilty is the quintessential Gucci cologne range, featuring a handful of non-rotational fragrances. The Guilty range was launched in 2011 and has since developed a loyal following. The base is cedarwood and vetiver- think hot wood, like a sauna- mangled up with dirty old leather and a touch of smoke. The projection here is powerful, so it’s a real compliment collector. It will last all day too, so there’s decent value here even if a bottle is a little on the pricey side.

Best for: Beers at the bar with the boys. You’re going to be treated to a subtle and alpha scent that won’t get you grief from your friends, while still projecting enough to pique the interest of any ladies who happen to wander over. Top note: A midnight stroll is exactly that – it’s supposed to evoke a mysterious stroll through an enchanted garden, and it’s an admirable effort. Best for: Something Special. Hortus Sanitatis is, for me, the best Gucci cologne out there. It’s understated, and the perfect choice for projecting masculinity and sophistication without seeming like you’re trying too hard. Top notes: was released to mark the centenary of Gucci and certainly lives up to the expectation surrounding such a landmark release. It’s inspired by the Tuscan city of Florence, the hometown of founder Guccio Gucci all those years ago. Top notes of church incense evoke antiquity and ritual as if coaxing you into an occult ceremony from which you might not return. It’s calming but dangerous- like being hypnotized. A heart of tar-like Cade oil is held down by green Cypress in a woody and lush wonderland, with a tough freshness snapping you out of your slumber. It all comes together really harmoniously.It also has a strong staying power compared to most colognes- you’ll get ten hours out of an application here with no bother. Best for: A romantic stroll through the city. With Gucci Guilty Oud, the classic woodiness has been brought up to date for 2023 in a way that refers to the past – but doesn’t rely upon it. Top notes:

There is no sweetness and not a floral accord to be found, so if that’s what you’re looking for, steer well clear. Oakmoss holds the base notes in place, evoking lush Tuscan forests and keeping the fragrance from wandering too far off into feminine territory. You could definitely get away with it at work, layering it onto a suit in the office to exude professionalism and understated power.The Guilty moniker is bathed in irony. The message here is that you’re free to be whoever you are, do what you want to do, and live life on your terms guilt-free. These scents are all about guilt-free freedom and self-expression. They’re the brainchild of master perfumer Alessandro Michele, who does a great job of summing up his mission statement: Now, this is pièce de résistance. Hortus Sanitatis is hands down my favorite fragrance in the Alchemist Garden collection. It’s a newer addition to the collection and was initially only available at exclusive stores and select Gucci boutiques, but now – thankfully – it’s more readily available. Parfum Pour Homme is the baseline offering in the Gucci Guilty range. If the range was an ice cream parlor, consider this your gourmet vanilla.
