but add both to my collection. I know that Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Homme and Guilty Absolu de Parfum pour Homme are very similar, but the big question is: do you need both if you have one? I say, quite CLEARLY, yep, you need both. Why? I'll explain it to you very simply. 1. They share the same DNA: sensually seductive (no, men, you won't score points with women if you dress like a Talahuhn, have an unkempt appearance and no style of your own. That's much more important than a perfume. Perfume is like a piece of jewelry that should complete the overall look.) 2. The Elixir is the gentleman and the Absolu is the seducer. 3. The Elixir is brighter, creamier and more crowd-pleasing. That beautiful, vanilla-like creaminess paired with elegant floral notes is simply a dream. Elegant, luxurious, clean and very high quality. 4. The Absolu adds a rum accord with spicy facets and a slightly almondy base. This makes it more interesting, deeper and a little edgier. Both scents are true performance monsters. More than 3 sprays aren't necessary to be able to smell the fragrance for 8-10 hours. They last like the old Duracell ad. I really enjoy wearing both. The Elixir more as a daily and office scent, and the Absolu actually for going out. Personally, I'd classify the fragrances more in the unisex direction than as purely masculine. Ladies, dare to venture into the men's section and try some fragrances, too. You'll be surprised by the wonderful unisex scents waiting for you there.
