Okay, Bisch, I'm impressed.

This is like the Elixir if it wasn't muddled with sweetness and actually had some thought put into it.

The opening is very similar to the Elixir, if it had a softer vanilla and was less in your face. Sadly the rum note isn't as boozy or prominent as I hoped it would be, but that is completely okay as the tonka bean makes up for it in the dry down.

They really microdosed the labdanum, chili, and leather notes, definitely supporting notes that do make the fragrance darker and do a really good job at it. I will include, that if you're here for the chili note, Guilty EDP is the best one for that. It is a lot softer and less nuanced here. Now for the tonka bean, the almond amplifies the tonka bean and I could even detect some cherry facets.

The base really completes it with the multifaceted tonka bean and benzoin, they pair really well, in the air its a very delicious and rich smell.

This is 100% a modern and safe release, however what I'm impressed by is the complexity of the tonka bean, which is almost never seen in designer releases. As a Gucci Guilty fan, this is by far the best one in the line. Is it as unique and bold as the original Gucci Guilty Absolute? No, but it performs better and can be worn a lot more. This a great take on modern sweet DNAs with a dark spicy twist, and I respect it for being that way.

An elixir de parfum that didn't need a successor!

Even though I'm not particularly in the game when it comes to older designer fragrances a la Dior or Channel, I have been able to try a lot of them over time and found my favorite designer fragrance in Gucci Guilty Elixir, the "predecessor fragrance" of this one.

As I work at the airport, I was able to try the new Gucci Guilty Absolu de Parfum in Duty Free today, hopeful of perhaps finding a new designer fragrance for myself.

The first time I smelled it, the fragrance seemed quite spicy to me, I didn't like some unlisted peppery note. After a few minutes, the classic EDP DNA comes through, but more mature, grown-up and niche, with more edges and not as "youthful" as its predecessor, but unfortunately I liked almost every aspect of it. After a short time, I have the feeling that I can smell individual notes better. I get an interesting spiciness from the chili and also a slight boozy rum note. In general, as I said, the fragrance is more grown-up, edgier, more niche and, in my perception, also a little spicier than the EDP, which unfortunately makes it less appealing to me.

In my opinion, Gucci's EDP didn't need a change, or rather no change in this direction. I had hoped that I would like the ADP better, which is unfortunately not the case, but the new interpretation is interesting nonetheless.

I can't say anything about the longevity and sillage because, as I said, I only tried the fragrance on my wrist once for a while, but it lasted and was quite strong, so I assume that, like the EDP, it already has power! The bottle is beautifully made, the price-performance ratio remains to be seen, the EDP has also become cheaper over time, the RRP is quite a house number! If you like the EDP, you can try this one and form your own opinion!
