Gucci Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Femme

A sweet, powdery floral with a warm vanilla-tonka base, Gucci Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Femme was composed by Natalie Gracia-Cetto for Gucci in 2023 in the house's elixir concentration, and is marketed to women. Floral leads for everyone, about half call it sweet, and a quarter notice wood and citrus.

Bergamot and mandora, a mandarin-orange hybrid, give the opening a brief juicy brightness before violet brings in its soft, powdery, slightly sweet character. The heart is a gentle bouquet of rose, wisteria and osmanthus, the last adding an apricot-suede softness that leans the scent towards fruit without any sharpness. Tonka bean and vanilla in the base make it warm, creamy and comforting, with patchouli adding a little earth and length.

Reports on longevity are split between moderate and long lasting; projection is moderate for about half and strong for a quarter. Autumn and winter take most of the season votes, and night leads day, which suits it to cool evenings and dressed-up occasions.
