An Affordable Leather Masterpiece
Gucci Guilty Absolute is a dark, mysterious, and bold fragrance that would be more suited as a niche fragrance rather than a designer release which ultimately ended in discontinuation.
Even if I have more affinity for leather fragrances such as Dior’s Fahrenheit, Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather, and Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede, I cannot ignore the fact how original this is, and how it actually smells fantastic.
By wearing it repeatedly more and more, you will realize how strangely addictive it really is, and how much first impression can fool us. A fragrance masterpiece of our time. Get it while you still can.
TOP NOTES
The mixture of old leather jacket aroma, and aromatic natural smelling green cypress is what opens and rushes into your olfactive senses.
The antiseptic, and band-aid-like scent profile is here as well but is better experienced when smelled rather than reading or hearing about it.
This is undoubtedly one of the best leather-based fragrances I have experienced in my life, and this is coming for someone who has tried almost all popular and less popular leather fragrances on the market.
HEART NOTES
As the fragrance slowly transitions into the heart notes, the fragrance starts to get more natural, with touches of sweet accords reminding more of pine and cypress tree sap.
A detectable woodiness from vetiver, patchouli, and goldenwood also keeps the fragrance from going into the all-sweet territory and transports me somewhere in dark forests during the early fall.
BASE NOTES
When the fragrance dries down, Absolute moves into being a woody, earthy, musky, sappy, and even cozy fragrance. The woody characteristics are more intensified, more evident with smoky nuances.
To say that I was surprised by Gucci releasing something like this, and also praise the creative decision to be different in the sea of clones, and similar perfumes.
