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

Product Information

It’s a complex woody and spicy medley, with a musky base akin to midnight stroll – but that’s where the similarities end. In the heart, there’s a note of smokey incense that’s neatly balanced by a little rose herbality. The spice here is a hint of ginger, adding a welcome aromatic tinge to proceedings. 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.

It also has a strong staying power compared to most colognes- you’ll get ten hours out of an application here with no bother. 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.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. 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.

The fresh scent revolves around Limone Cedrato, a zesty fruit native to Florence that is more floral than typical lemons. This is combined with the Neroli flower, which harbors sweet notes and an earthy green element. Gucci Guilty Oud is inspired by a walk in the forest, and it certainly delivers on conjuring up a woody amble by night.The base is cedarwood and vetiver- think hot wood, like a sauna- mangled up with dirty old leather and a touch of smoke.
