Gucci Guilty Elixir Pour Homme Fragrance Review | Not What I Expected!

[@navifitness8049]

This is one of the best fragrance in my collection. It was love at first sight. Last a really long time. I get 14 plus hours on my skin. Can still smell it the next day as I shower.

[@OriginalMindTrick]

Beastmode for sure.

[@sandymcconnell1969]

I sampled this in-store this evening and immediately thought it felt familiar. It then hit me, PdM Pegasus mixed with Amouage Reflection Man.

[@MiamiSammy]

Screw the fragrance this video was the real star of the show. Well done as always your production quality is top tier

[@CarlosDiaz-uw1jj]

Agreed

[@bradpeterson5299]

Very nice and long lasting. I could still smell it the next day. To me it's Reflection man, Luna Rossa black, with Pegasus Exclusive .

[@georgesavvidis2234]

Don’t worry about performance . It’s strong , at least 8 hours . You may go nose blind because of the ambrofix note

[@TheFragranceApprentice]

This is the craziest trailer to a new James Bond movie ever.

[@ChristianCantelli]

Immediately after spraying this perfume, I sniffed my wrist and smelled something familiar, but I could not immediately put it in context: strong, sweet, slightly spicy, yet fresh. Then intuition, thinking of food: a scent very similar to the orange blossom water used for Neapolitan pastiera! It quickly turns out to be very strong, it fills the car, it fills the rooms. After about an hour, it begins to change a little, becoming more floral and airy, the orange blossom scent always seems to prevail, but the other flowers, osmanthus and iris rhizome, give the composition a more herbaceous, fruity and vaguely earthy touch. And there we are, four hours pass, five... incredibly, the projection does not seem to diminish, in fact, at times it almost seems to increase, to expand. I know of very few fragrances with this kind of power. I go to the gym, an hour and twenty of training, heat, sweat. Nothing, it's always around me, like a shell. Only after all this does the base emerge, notes of incense grains and above all vanilla, sweet, more than the flowers before. Endless duration, projection off the scale. You have to like flowers and sweet scents, I don't find it masculine, but not feminine either, the right word might be effeminate, almost cheeky. You have to be in the right mood to wear something like this, to embrace it like a flag. It has to be experienced on the skin, with the time it takes to appreciate its evolution; I especially liked the heart of the composition, but it is not in my league, at least at the moment: I wouldn't know when to wear it. Unisex, four seasons, day and night. Very modern.

[@Hititup2121]

Great video brother , I enjoyed this fragrance and I’m going buy a bottle soon and review as well. Keep up the amazing content Chris 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Chris 👍🏻

[@manygaga1]

I definitely prefer it over reflection man. It's not lineair, smells of high quality and has not that typical designer cumarin overload.

[@CheersDits2979]

The opening has that Reflection Man to me. The dry down has the Pegasus vibe. I’m not getting the Prada Black though 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jameshorne3105]

Ok I’m going to tell you my thoughts and what this fragrance initially reminded me of, and not all of these combined per se but aspects of them I feel in here. The floral tones of reflection man and sweetness of le male which are two fragrances that are usually compared, and then you have a soupçon of the leathery minerality of Ganymede and Kenzo homme edp which are two fragrances also often compared. I think this Gucci guilty elixir takes elements of these fragrances and mixes them together, I actually like it better than all of those fragrances on their own, though I haven’t smelled it on anything but the tester strip, so my perception can change if I do more testing, but this is what my initial thoughts were

[@simenvesje1883]

This smell to ssweet-synthetic the first couple of hours for my taste. Once it settles down a bit and the bottom notes of flowers, amber and iris with a powdery frame takes over, it is ok. I chose to let it stay on the shelf. Love the video! And i really like your reviews.

[@MrVoayer]

Excellent and very precise description of Gucci Guilty Elixir. I like it exactly because of its traits mentioned in this review: powdery, slightly woody, sweet... polished and sophisticated ! Great release ! By the way, some nice and creative photography in this video !

[@prometheus160]

the bottle is the image of the smell. i love this scent,i love the looks its is so nice

[@nicolasalvarez8716]

Hi Chris! The bottle and your review makes me think about hogu boss Bottled Oud Aromatic...ill have to try it someday. Hope you enjoy spanish coast with that weather!

[@tomso8787]

Love the vibe of this video. Good music, beach, fragrance what else do we need :D

[@tomwilkinson9814]

I tried this in store today and it's not for me - a bit synthetic, sweet, clingy. I am much more impressed by the views of Moraira - my folks had a place in Javea up the coast. Gorgeous round there 🙂

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Javea is beautiful. Nightlife not bad either!

[@xtrmnatrpv]

It's *Xàbia*.

[@Fragman-Scoop]

Amazing production as always Chris. Your holiday destination looks amazing. I am keen to get my hands on this one.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

[@darkosrebotnik7118]

In the drydown, I can swear I already smelled it 20+ years ago as a kid. Several compared it to Gaultier2, but my mom regularly wore JPG Classique, maybe it was it. All in all, opening, big dislike, smells like Malizia Uomo, but in dry down, it smells so nice and sweet. Gotta find some old JPG decants.

[@kuhliloach8842]

video is starting and I just wanted to say something - I tried Gucci Guilty Elixir and I find it quite nice and Amouage-like. Untrained noses may not like this on a strip. I love it on myself.

[@YogDodoth]

Got, EDT, EDP and parfum, the drydown after 2 hours is the same. But oh lord best openers ever

[@LE_NOMAD90]

This video had no business being this sexy. The vibes, Spanish scenery and music. This fragrance sounds very interesting.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Haha thanks

[@paulmonkhouse2104]

Absolutely lovely this stuff i sprayed this on my wrist and could could still smell it on my watch strap a week later

[@thesmithhouse9]

Just got a sample of this in. Like vanilla ice cream with white florals. Definitely get the Reflection Man comparison. Kind of get the Pegasus comparison too. On my skin it seems to push out more the longer I wear it. Only thing I dont get is why is this more expensive than the Parfum Gucci Guilty? Elixir is just marketing so I really don’t get the expensive pricing on this even as a new release.

[@The_Mavs_Are_Bums]

Chris is probably what Jeremy Fragrance will be once he matures 🤣 i love this channel keep em coming

[@damnnative3188]

Please. Jeremy Fragrance wishes.

[@63Jax]

Hate that guy with a passion 🤣🤣🤣

[@Jackson-jk9ff]

Yes if Jeremy had taken not the wrong turn. Its sad man.

[@dru812002]

Thanks for the update! I love this video, thank you for taking us with you lol. It just brings a richer experience and review. Real world use lol

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@infcombo82]

Woooow just got my bottle today....reminds me of lolita lempicka au masculin so close to it that top notes is deleciouuus!!!! Loooove of first sniff 😍😍😁😁😁

[@ESPARTAN-ci7de]

GREAT QUALITY VIDEO!!! ... I ENJOYED THE TRIP!! BEAUTIFUL PLACE🙄🙄🫡

[@RacerRick12]

It was love at first sniff & bought this at the Gucci boutique in Saks 5th Ave NYC… The womans version smells good too…

[@MrJacks1959]

I own both Reflection Man 45 and Reflection Man. If it's anything close to those I'm sure I'll love it.

[@markhart6743]

Me to

[@ABC-dw7pe]

It’s better - tried all 3 recently at once

[@guyblerp868]

Recently smelt a lot of Gucci colognes at ulta. Was not Impressed at all…..one of them was alright

[@joeevans1978]

I have a question, a very important question that must be answered ASAP.... it's vital to my own sanity.... Are you doing the safety voice over for Jet 2?? I could swear it sounds exactly like you lol

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes

[@Autodriveband]

Amazing video as always, enjoy your trip.

[@jaroslavlekes2138]

Mega video, well done you, not sure about this elixir, will stick to the father of them all Sauvage Elixir and Gucci Guilty Absolute🤘

[@tonymalizia]

I get 90s Italian fragrances vibes from it, like D&G Pour Homme and Versace Dreamer.

[@rolivarez8740]

Great review 👍🏼🍹

[@jasonmfalconer]

Sounds like a late summer crowd pleaser Chris-designed for those jammy gits going on very later summer jollies to Spain 😉

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yep!

[@jakerogan2472]

Oh damn. You're in El portet beach near Javea. I have been to that beach many times. My parents now live close to there

[@FRAGMENTAL]

It’s beautiful 😍

[@joolean7799]

WOW, this is shot on an iPhone? AMAZING quality and editing. what color grading did you use?

[@leroyjenkins9623]

How many sprays would you say is good?

[@KishJohnBaptiste-mb4ms]

Finally my new favorite smells so good

[@LubjeSpanish]

Bought it this week. Lots of compliments! Most compliments next to sauvage elixer. I think its a clean fresh and warm scent .lots of floral but not to much so good for a men.

[@LubjeSpanish]

Ohhh one thing the price haha its way overpriced!

[@leroyjenkins9623]

How many sprays do you do?

[@leavebritneyalone3233]

Tried it on skin in store , felt like i smelled like a new belt 🤷🏼‍♂️ not what I'm trying to do

[@bhhunter3407]

same as Lacura essence of Italy Nero from Aldi or Acqua di Parma

[@paramveersingh4411]

Hi sir ….is dior homme 2020 is a sexy frag…bcs befor 2020 is not available near me….i want all year around sexy frag …pls guide me.. a great fan

[@stevehernandez2460]

Dior Homme 2020 that is now Dior Homme EDT, I had a lady at work say “this is what a man should smell like” she really enjoys it every time I wear it. Performance could be better though I just overspray, I am on my second bottle due to the over-spraying but It is nice! It can be an all year round, but not sure if it’s SEXY, it smells nice and clean and put together, smells handsome I guess you could say!

[@GucciButNotGuilty]

This scent is addicting!

[@MikeyLavelle-j6r]

Reminds me of clive christian x but smother

[@flannerz]

Where in Spain did you go? I want to go there!

[@emilnilsson7492]

Whats this banger song the first minutes?

[@rolfrau5743]

for me it smells like pegasus parfums de marley

[@onedadinplaid159]

Tried it on a strip and thought, "Meh." Got a sample and wore it, and I really liked it. Maybe a Christmas gift to myself?

[@OriginalMindTrick]

It's a bit boring though. It doesn't really evoke strong emotion. It performs beastly though.

[@TheHighwinder]

Most elixirs are actually mild and often even disappointing. Few of them are any sort of improvement.

[@DaVincisAlchemyst]

Cinematography is beautiful as always sir! Gucci probably should buy some that footage for those bottle shots 🔥 Gucci does seem to put out well done fragrances for a designer, I doubt it’s something I’ll buy but I am keen on trying it out. Cheers Chris

[@LaSalleProductions]

It smells like PDM Pegasus

[@johncarpenter7236]

I thought it reminded me of reflection man

[@leeroybrown552]

Smells like Jacques Bogart Silver Scent INTENSE

[@BradfordHills]

Your kinda rocking the Daniel Craig thing

[@victorreyticao7911]

I dunno but it smells like Versace the Dreamer off my skin.

[@andythompson7450]

I smelt it and felt it was like putting my head in the room where I keep all my boots. The sales person was giving me the full history and I was just trying not to go 🤢 Based on everyone’s reactions on the comments, I will give it another go !

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I found it much nicer wearing it properly than I did from a tester strip.

[@OriginalMindTrick]

It's your opinion. Don't let the masses get to you. I thought it was a bit boring. Didn't smell bad, just a bit generic.

[@Aoelx]

I know it’s ridiculous because smell is most important but when a bottle/juice looks like piss, it throws me the wrong way! 😳😳

[@kevino73]

You put quite a dent in it considering you just bought it!

[@Yozik2]

identical to Pegasus

[@irishsaint89]

No one thinks it’s a Pegasus clone?

[@steve-o-reno]

Definitely smells like Pegasus to me. Maybe 8hrs later, not so much.

[@mrt4560]

For me , Gucci Guilty Elixir is Réflection man in a Gucci Bottle ! 😅

[@brunoherrera2248]

This has annick menardo dna all over written on it

[@mvr2579]

That girl was not having it 😂

[@g.d2450]

reminds me of the comedian jimeoin and his 'what's that smell' routine.. where someone will smell the back of your wrist if offered to them but will never smell the back of your fingers if offered to them

[@bnernganmont]

iphone makes everyone a filmmaker. great look

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Especially when you’ve not planned a shoot and have no other equipment!

[@bnernganmont]

@@FRAGMENTAL filmmakers under estimate what a pain in that ass it is lugging around equipment then wasting time doing artistic color correction, etc way cooler to focus on the content. What part of Spain is that btw !..looks awesome

[@Cato1006]

There is no tonka bean in this bro. What you are smelling are the florals. 💐Also, I am surprised that you missed that it looks alot like Gucci envy. There is a reason why the bottle looks alot like gucci envy. (these damn fragrance reviewers cant see that Gucci is trying to outdo Envy.) Guess what they did.

[@corgio29]

I didn’t like it. I thought it smelled like medicine.

[@nikmansol]

Surely a pass . Lovely video . 2024 another bad year for perfumery

[@martingomezmarinich7059]

yes, shirtless content

[@jp3622]

This stuff is horrible did one spray at airport today and its smells weird . Smells like baby wipes with some herbs. Unfortunately it lasts all day too typical !😮

[@АлексаТодић]

copy paste Mancera Oud blue notes.Syntetic crap

[@J_M_E_83]

Gucci are dead to me. They once were great, not anymore.

[@chase_manhattan5367]

😂

[@paramveersingh4411]

Hi sir ….is dior homme 2020 is a sexy frag…bcs befor 2020 is not available near me….i want all year around sexy frag …pls guide me.. a great fan

[@jOr2187]

Yes it is sexy in my opinion
