Gucci Guilty Absolute by Gucci Fragrance Review (2017)

[@Adamizer702]

Very challenging but masculine scent which I really enjoy. I'm surprised I don't like it more than I do. You're right, this scent may be ahead of its time, not appreciated now, but just wait! Will pick up a big bottle before long, really reminds me of Fahrenheit too. Me and the twenty nine remaining subs appreciate your take Marc 😂

[@stayfreshproductions]

Awesome, awesome review as usual. When I first smelled this stuff, I tried to not like it because it was SO different from what I expected. Every time I've come back to it since, I like it more and more. Every time I smell it now, I just say, "wow". I still lack the confidence to actually feel like I can pull it off, but maybe one day! Thanks, Marc.

[@IamVintage72]

It's definitely Super stuff. Dare I say SuperMan 🦸‍♂️ or Superwoman stuff 😅

[@17silence]

I am in the group that love this Guilty absolute. As you said; yes, I would also be wearing this after 10 years from now. Thanks for your detailed review.

[@arnydiablo6205]

Finally got hold of this...nearly 5 years after release. Not disappointed. Looove it! THANKS for the great review Marc! Your review had influenced me to smell this amazing scent 4 years ago or so...

[@ScentitarFragrance]

I finally ponyed up and ordered my bottle today. Great fragrance ! You did a great review

[@heavenscent3022]

I think once you get over the initial bang of the opening I think it dries down to be a masterpiece...a beautiful deep dark smell so far away from the usual 'blue' bottle fragrances... Well worth it I love the stuff....P.s You nail the review about this juice.. awesome Atb Lee

[@Leedoggie6677]

I’m in love with this frag. Gonna be embarrassed to tell people it’s a Gucci guilty when they ask what I’m wearing

[@rickterrance4981]

Right lol sounds so douchey

[@ACSmellsGood]

Now that's a review! Enjoyed it immensely.

[@celestialwafts3452]

Your reviews are good too. Just discovered your chanel few days back

[@scubaleon3460]

I don't like this fragrance even after trying it for several times, but watching your review is always a pleasure

[@Kenshin564]

I just went to my local perfume store and checked this fragrance out. I agree completely with your opinion. This is a unique and gorgeous scent. Daring and unusual for a designer fragrance. Unfortunately it is not reduced at that store and I won't buy it for full retail, considering it is not suited to spring and summer in my opinion. But that smell of wood glaze, leather and wood is amazing. It smells like an upholstery workshop. I do not think this is too wearable, but I could not get enough of the smell.

[@yslv.k8907]

So is this the right perfume if I want to smell like gasoline, a gas station or a workshop?

[@robes08]

you should be happy with this.

[@LegnaVolokin]

I’m buying this in 2024 too

[@ironmoe77]

I paused the video at 4.30, went to my perfume cabinet, pulled out Guilty Absolute and sprayed it on the back of my hand, very very nice. I’m one of the 30 still here...

[@AlejandroGomezB]

Man, amazing Review! You are currently one of my favorite Reviewers, just perfect description and we also have common tastes! Peace from Bogota, Colombia! ✌😀🇨🇴

[@senorfragancia838]

Great review Marc, let me tell you my experience with this GGA. the First bottle I got it from someone that didn't like it, for almost nothing he bought it blindly and then two sprays after he could not handle it, at first it the opening is dearing but I let it work and it grew on me and god I love it that i already order a bigger bottle as a back up. This is a beautiful scent.

[@dondizm2678]

Gucci Guilty Absolute gets a 10/10 for me! A killer fragrance! I soooooo love this! 🤩🏆✨

[@c.j.duncan499]

Reminded me of a cold doctors office, I was skeptical of it becoming a skin scent after all the reviews but this thing lasted an eternity on me and I could easily smell whiffs of it 8+ hours later. I couldn’t appreciate this in my younger collecting days, it’s too earthy, but I love it now as a seasoned fraghead. I bought the 5oz bottle, will definitely get its uses since I can’t find Fahrenheit parfum. Great review

[@MM-zm2ps]

I got a sample and I couldn’t stop smelling it ! This one is really awesome and a must buy for my next fragrance purchase !

[@waltherP99BG]

Love it and i also like from time to time to layer it with Absolute pour Femme-gets me TONS of compliments

[@Amyleonhardt947]

I finally found this at Sephora but they weren’t carrying the female counterpart, interestingly. I liked the initial smell; didn’t wait for the drydown. Weird but I think I could respect a man for wearing this. I could see it being addictive. Birch tar is what gives it that medicinal smell? Or the cypress? It is interesting. Nice review. I wish you wouldn’t say “two little nuggets” though 😆(8:34)

[@EdwardvanBerkum]

Great review Marc! This is not for the faint hearted! I firstly didn't like it, but used the sample again in winter / end fall and was in love with this juice! I don't wear this to work... Not sure if people will appreciate this.

[@daletroncasablancas7870]

What a great review. I have not experienced this scent yet but already want 2 bottles of it 🤭. Im huge fan of terre d'hermes so i think based on the scent profile and your review, im confident this is something for me.

[@reasonableselectivefragran5047]

Thanks for the review with your valuable remarks. That fragrance is a masterpiece. It’s like being in a library, all the old books and also the Leather case of an old binocular. Thanks for sharing your valuable thoughts 👍👍👍

[@luciferro2002]

I love it as a scent,but It's almost unwearable for me. Since I already own Encre Noire A L'Extreme and Bentley Absolute ( which for me are lot more versatile, and not so daring) I'm not gonna buy a bottle of Guilty Absolute anytime soon. Great review.

[@HIELOKING]

As a SAUVAGE lover myself, when I first smelled this, if fucking loved it and in my fragrance group, I was the only one hyping it up.... I have 3 bottles of it!!! and yes, 5 of SAUVAGE... :) Guicci's Guilty Absolute, Prada's L'Homme Intense and Prada's Miracle of the Rose are the best releases of 2017 !!! in my humble opinion...

[@jameslunsford4168]

Bro I am in LUV w this fragrance

[@robes08]

it's a good one to love. Great choice.

[@sklim2009]

My wife couldn't stand this one when we smelt it on paper in the store but once I got a bottle she appreciated it for the great leather smell it gives off. I think the fall is the best season for this fragrances.

[@BNOVA]

Great review as usual Marc. I have to say that your description of this fragrance is spot on. However, for me, this a fragrance that is hard to like. Thanks to your review I finally know why....it is that birch tar note that smells like "Dettol" hence that medicinal feel and where I am from everyone will think I just took a bath in Dettol if I wore it. I say can though that in the cool nights or cool weather I appreciate it more as the leather and woods shine more. Also I agree that if you like TDH you will more than likely like this one but for me, like TDH, I will soon part with this one. Cheers

[@baer1771]

I wore it a lot this winter. I don't find it difficult to wear. I wear it for me. Terrific review

[@noseonscent1935]

Grown folks are talking! Great review Marc!

[@harveytrevino2257]

Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Cologne might be one of those Gucci's you like, due to it not being the normal blue fragrances being released. It definitely is more polarizing/daring. Which makes it attractive.

[@scottwilbur25]

Gucci PH I,and II were great as well as Rush and Envy. After that the housed skidded to a halt in my book. If this is a 10 I give Gucci Intense Oud an 11.

[@Luiggi799]

Hi Marc! Gucci Guilty Absolute does not reminds you of Antonio Puig Quorum or Givenchy Gentleman(old formula)? Very good scent,even if it is so blamed by many people,it is a very good release.I like this one ,it reminds me of '70 or '80 releases,a very masculine"übermännlich" scent.Welcome back in the game Gucci!

[@TheHundrethmonkey]

This will be an OG in a few years when Smoky woody masculine scents have their run again. They have run out of ideas with the iris powdery puff juice lately.......I welcome the change. I need more smoky woody scents in my life. Great juice very much like EN but with leather. I also got compliments first wearing.....cold snowy Dec night in northern AB! Works up here.

[@adrianr4095]

I just bought 2 back up bottles in case it's price goes up in a few years.

[@danielseale9636]

I love this stuff, been wearing it the last few months and it's so unique. It's definitely not a compliment getter, at least for me anyway. Me and a friend did brunch one morining and she told me I smelled like medicine, like she legit thought I took medicine and that's what the smell was. Love it regardless though

[@joshsawyerstreamvods]

amazing review for an amazing frag

[@robes08]

Thank you kindly!

[@azel88]

I love this fragrance from the first time I sprayed it on I new it was gonna be a keeper .

[@saintsdayeve]

I bought a small 40 ml and the 90ml of this..wish i had 3 more bottles

[@aamannadal7419]

Uniqueness : 9/10 I would have to disagree with you on that one. Anyway,I like that the frag is getting some love from the experts in the community.

[@robes08]

I can see why you would say that about the uniqueness score. I'm no expert just a guy that smelled a shit ton of fragrances lol

[@АлександрТретьяков-р5с]

I'm a huge fan of this frag, can you recommend smth simillar??? Masculine, woody, leather

[@Luiggi799]

Try Antonio Puig Quorum or Givenchy Gentleman

[@la32magicj]

Always a great perspective on fragrances

[@adrianobello7452]

Hey Marc, love this one - spot on review. I recieved a brand new bottle 2 weeks ago and it seems like 10%of the juice was missing off the top, lol . Im wondering if Gucci is just using 100ml bottles. Nonetheless, its great stuff.

[@hanashhanoosh4049]

The same here .my bottle made in uk

[@jctmanu]

Love this frag and really enjoyed your review. Interestingly enough, I get compliments on this one! I got positive notices 2 out of 3 times I wore it. Go figure.

[@tovlirami1711]

Great daring scent . Applause for GUCCI. Lasts days on clothes .👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mich6425]

tovli rami indeed it's worth the money. Last for days on clothes.

[@marcusmoody9917]

Great review. Got a bottle of this juice and it is addictive.

[@DarK-Leather]

I totally agree with you! It's an absolute gem that I will treasure for years to come! That's why I got me 5 150ml bottles 😎 It's an alpha masculine dark mysterious leather that's not for the timid! People with fine taste would definitely appreciate it. It's better than all the Memo Paris leathers put together! And that should say something for a designer fragrance!

[@robes08]

did you write you have 5 of these? WOW! Thinking about it I just looked at my bottle which is starting to get close to the 75% fill line, perhaps another bottle now would not hurt.

[@DarK-Leather]

@@robes08 Yup definitely a good idea since it will be discontinued but for now it is STILL being produced by Coty Inc. under license from Gucci (Coty Inc. actually launched Gucci Guilty Absolute back in 2017) so grab a bottle while you can 😉

[@foreverfragrance7]

Does it smell similar to Ferrari Uomo?? That's another gasoline smelling frag by Alberto Morillas.

[@Big_LosF]

Bro the minute you said, you're about to swear on this review I got excited 😂hahaha man, I'm buying this next. I bought gucci guilty edp. Should've went with this🤦‍♂️

[@kariusbaktus165]

Damn you were spot on in your prediction of this one

[@robes08]

I have that keen sense after so many years with the fragrance industry.

[@cogitationescaecae1125]

I love it. I think it's the best scent this on side of heaven. I would wear it day, night, summer, winter. I just love the way it smells. Not for others, not for compliments... I just love to have it on me. And the fact they discontinued this is just - WHATT DA - It's just as if Leo Fender would give up on stratocaster shape - WHATT DA!

[@robes08]

I totally agree!

[@oscarromero9094]

I just bought this after a test dican and it works so well on my skin. I have not have any complement but a lot of heads turning I can fill the vive (may be is just me ) over thinking. Anyways I did found this very seductive and masculine pure alpha male and remarkable as a sovesticate man that know how to handle any situation. Price wise I think if it get discontinued price will definitely go up by 10x for collectors defenelly unique man cologne.

[@Pemmykemmy]

Spot on. This one immediately reminded me of the flintiness of Terre dHermes. Need to pick this one up.

[@jackhasselhoff1021]

Yup I think Sauvage has it too , a leather patchouli suede vibe ...

[@marcjohn9404]

Gucci used to be an elite house back in the day, Gucci PH original, Gucci Nobile, Gucci Envy, Gucci Pour Homme I, Gucci Pour Homme II... They discontinued ALL of those classics lol, imagine if Chanel discontinued Antaeus, Egoiste, Platinum Egoiste and the entire Allure Homme line or something like that! Gucci doesn't have any of it's classics for some reason like other big brands, and I think that hurts them. They should honestly be discussed in the same ranks as Chanel, Dior, Armani, YSL, etc.

[@fardshayan]

i love it but i only have worn it at home. couldnt find a situation feeling safe to give it a wear since im 24. which is sad cause i loveeeee this one.

[@Kenshin564]

I found a perfume that is very similar but more wearable to me: Aeosp - Hwyl It has the same wood glaze aroma with the same manly undertones but is a little less extreme. It immedeately reminded my of Gucci Guilty Absolute on paper and on my skin. You might want to get your nose on that, if you can.

[@zvikaso]

I bought it for 50$ just as a collection item. I won't use it that much because I live in a very hot and humid climate. I'll use it a few times a year, in the dead of winter (which is not that cold).

[@robes08]

Great scent 👌

[@mich6425]

I bought the gift set. The 90ml eau de parfum, 150ML shower gel and 50ml aftershave balm. All three smell for 10/12+ hours on me. Too bad Gucci didn't release the aftershave balm.

[@HardkoreHiggins]

I cant get enough of this stuff!!

[@KEAROSrulez]

Guicci absolute and Tom For Black orchid. Great layers.

[@masoomlarka4467]

My is made in Spain is that original

[@RichMitch]

I can't get anything except hospital floor clearer, awful stuff for me. Despite this, enjoyed review as usual

[@dusanninic5372]

...but now it's good.

[@iang4817]

At last found someone who knows what is good!

[@lennyvangogh8006]

This was good but i much prefer Amouage Opus XI/11 it's wayyy better and what i imagine this wanted to be, its outstanding!

[@dimitriouin]

Marc, You killed all my hopes 🤣 I thought you live near Montreal when I saw you in a review with CH sweatshirt 😔😭

[@robes08]

ouin I'm close to the border so it's a small drive to la belle province!

[@dimitriouin]

robes08 cool cool cooool, will send you a private message on your Facebook group 😳🌷

[@eddier401]

Really nice leather. Going to purchase this one real soon.

[@valueink]

I like the opening as much if not better than the drydown

[@uspeh1]

This thing smells exactly like a burning melting plastic with some motor oil on the top. If you would walk into a grocery store with this thing on you, people would get out of your way that's for sure!!! Never smelled something like this ever. Doesn't even smells like a fragrance!!! Great passionate review though!!

[@NavajoJoe66]

Probably the best designer release of the year.

[@humblestates]

just ordered 150ml bootle, and You know what? I'm gonna call it my Gucci Pour Homme III

[@dspada67]

Nice one mate. I love it.

[@jackhasselhoff1021]

To me it has patchouli suede leather vibe in reality it does have something in it Sauvage has , Terre D Hermes has it too... Bet if we looked at the notes they share at least 2 the same

[@cranborile]

My cat really likes this one 😻

[@sivy77]

You need to get your nose on Miller Harris Ancre Noir! Imagine Creed's interpretation of Tuscan Leather. Must sniff.

[@OscarPerez-kb2od]

For designer def a great release but I know Im in the minority for saying that.Def not a crowd pleaser...reminds me a little bit like Encre Noire extreme.Like it own it.

[@sivy77]

sorry, I meant Miller Harris Etui Noir!!!!!

[@WarikoX]

A masterpiece of art created for mens. Enjoy it

[@malayneum]

it smells exactly like Dettol liquid. but goddamn it so intoxicating. idgaf if people around me dont like it.

[@leoguzman8757]

They it this out of the park for about a few hundred of us 😁, I just don’t see the attempting anything like this any time soon 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@peterbenson6718]

your reviews are longer than the days you go without shaving haha

[@I_like_Osho]

Better than Tuscan Leather, and cheaper!

[@J_M_E_83]

No way this is a 10/10, it's just a straight up leather! This has no complexity whatsoever and it's not wearable.. something that a fragrance needs to be! As a smell it's interesting to see how accurately they got this to smell like leather, but that shouldn't warrant a 10/10 imo.

[@ELT90]

JmeJ83 your a beta male.

[@PulzePointz]

WHAT?! Perfect 10 club?

[@el_jetset.1498]

The cowboy is in the barn.

[@zenos.5315]

Do not care for this at all, better purchase a sample first, to me it smelled like a freshly polished shoe.

[@poobin1]

Gonna get this one ☝️ thanks

[@arnydiablo6205]

Is that the 5 oz. bottle?

[@arnydiablo6205]

sorry, i watched it again and saw that your one is 90 ml. anyway, i smelled it and loved it (x3). so, thinking of getting a 150 ml. The gucci guilty oud is out. like how you want it. black and gold. check it out if you can get hold of it from a duty free in the middle east.
