Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum
by Gucci
Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum presents a distinctive, well-balanced floral-woody fragrance centered around a refined rose. The opening features a clever interplay of balsamic vinegar, chili pepper, and salt, creating a surprising yet harmonious tang that transitions smoothly into a dewy, masculine rose. This core note is supported by lavender, neroli, and orange blossom, lending the scent a soapy, clean freshness reminiscent of a high-end barbershop or athletic wash. As the fragrance dries down, a subtle woodiness from cedar and patchouli emerges, rounding out the composition. The effect is elegant, unisex, and versatile—suitable for professional settings, casual outings, or formal events—and particularly well-suited to spring and autumn seasons. Longevity is moderate, typically lasting 4–8 hours, with projection being moderate to strong but not overwhelming, making it a quiet yet confident presence.
