Gucci Guilty Love Edition Pour Homme
by Gucci
Gucci Guilty Love Edition Pour Homme presents a crisp, airy profile that leans heavily into fresh citrus and aromatic green notes, making it ideal for spring and summer wear. The opening features a bright, tart blend of kumquat, mandarin orange, and ginger, delivering a clean, slightly soapy sensation reminiscent of freshly laundered clothes. This evolves into a subtle, earthy dry-down marked by patchouli, vetiver, and benzoin—smooth and refreshingly masculine, though some find it bordering on generic or detergent-like. The scent is light and easy to wear, perfectly suited for casual daywear, office environments, or warm-weather outings, where its soft projection and inoffensive nature make it a polite, unobtrusive choice. While longevity is moderate, it tends to fade fairly quickly on skin—some users report only 3 to 6 hours—requiring reapplication, especially in warm temperatures or during prolonged use. It performs better on fabric than on skin, where certain chemistry can intensify the sharper green and spice notes.
