Description
Gucci Guilty and Gucci Guilty Intense have been heralded as the scents of 21st Century seduction. In these
audacious, globally award-winning perfumes, today’s guiltless young men and women have discovered
the scent of provocation that has proved utterly addictive. Thrill seekers the world over have been seduced
into indulging in guilty pleasures.
Now, in the dark and mysterious Gucci Guilty Black, the story becomes still more compelling, giving it a new,
more passionate and more daring edge. A sequel and a new chapter.
Creative Director Frida Giannini remarks: “These characters fascinate us as they are taken on a life of their
own. We are eager to know about the next chapter in their story as it unfolds through Guilty Black”.
The Guilty Black lovers bring out the most thrilling sides of each other: alone they are magnificent, together
irrepressible. Fearless in their passion, they are brazen, shameless, unpredictable – ready for each and every
explosive encounter. Their attraction is instinctive: they go where they sense danger and each other.
Too much is never enough for our young hedonists, who drive each other to live life to the fullest. Again and
again, they give in to pleasure and the excitement of breaking the rules.
Gucci Guilty and Gucci Guilty Intense are scents of indulgence and guilty pleasures. Now, in Gucci Guilty
Black, the house chooses provocative, glossy black to encase the glowing red and green of its iconic
webbing.
GUCCI GUILTY BLACK Pour Femme is an intense oriental floral in which RED-hot sensuality is all:
Top notes
The scent demands attention with a sparkling prelude of succulent red fruits and an impertinent fist of pink
pepper. The mood is youthful audacity.
Middle notes:
The heart combines the lusciousness of raspberry and peach with a heady femininity of lilac and violet. here
is tenderness amid the bravura.
Base Notes:
The patchouli that is the hallmark of Gucci fragrances here generates a sense of addictive craving, while the
voluptuousness of amber suggests deep femininity.
Gucci Guilty took the house’s golden entwined Gs and used this emblem as an incitement to subvert. Gucci
Guilty Black carries this association still further – never has the coupling within this logo appeared more
provocative.
The brand is equally famed for its iconic green and red web stripe – signalling both “made in Italy” and
“luxury heritage”. here this webbing is transformed into gendered colour schemes: danger-signal red for the
Guilty Black heroine, unfettered green for its hero. The flacons are uncompromising bold, black perfection.
As one would expect from Gucci, there is great tactile appeal in the bottles’ marriage of high-tech and high
style. Giannini notes: “I wanted to create a provocative design for Guilty Black, yet building on the now
iconic packaging of Guilty. We added an evocative red glass for the female fragrance, green for the male,
as a tribute to the timeless Gucci web stripe.”
The imagery through which the house has brought Gucci Guilty to the world has captured attention:
a spectacular combination of director Frank miller’s film noir and Frida Giannini’s sensuality.
For this new project, art direction was again overseen by Riccardo Ruini, Creative Director at REm (Ruini
e mariotti). Ruini has art directed Gucci’s advertising for the past five years. The campaign for Gucci Guilty
Pour Femme won the coveted prize for Best media Campaign at the 2011 US FiFi Awards.
The advertisement was shot at Cinecittà Studios, the legendary home of Italian cinema. Again, its director
was Sin City creator Frank miller; its stars femme fatale Evan Rachel Wood and hollywood action hero Chris
Evans. Now, in Gucci Guilty Black, we join them for a fresh chapter in their story, and a thrilling sequel
to what has come before. The chemistry between them is electric.
Leading fashion photographers Mert & Marcus were again responsible for the print advertising – explosively
sensual images in which the gleam of the lovers’ skin is cast in red and green light. Mert & Marcus explain:
“We see the couple at night, in flagrante, washed in electric green and red neon. The aura is raw and
compelling. very modern, very sexy, very Gucci.”
Gucci Guilty Black Pour Femme is available as 30, 50 and 100ml edt, followed with 200ml body lotion and 200ml shower gel. Gucci Guilty Black Pour Femme was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Aurelien Guichard.
lera – :
This is a warm sweet fragrance. The fruity sweetness hangs just on the edge of too sweet but never crosses the line. The patchouli, amber, and floral notes keep this fragrance in control and give it the warmth that tempers the sweetness.
It feels a little young but not so young that I am uncomfortable wearing it. It also seems to lack something to really give it a unique scent. Its not exactly generic but it doesn’t have the wow factor.
Longevity is moderate and it leaves an impressive scent trail. All in all its nice but probably not something I need a FB of .

Looove love love it!!
So similar to the gucci guilty (gold), but thats fine for me since that is my nr1 fav frag in the world!
zce434bedyWelty – :
I love so much this scent that I want to smell it all the time… My wife smells really nice, I can’t get out of her neck!!!… hahaha . Can I wear it too?
ivan74 – :
A fairly standard fruity floral. Surprisingly soft and mellow for the brand and notes list. Not that interesting, you have smelled this before.
Finaret – :
Another great addition to the Guilty range, I heard great things about this so tentatively blind bought it! Luckily it’s gorgeous. It’s a smoky, patchouli, berry flanker, like Guilty’s naughtier cousin. I love the Guilty range and always get compliments. Highly recommended!
odious – :
this bottle is sooo unpractical 🙁 when it comes to an end, you can’t spray whatever left at the bottom :(( scent itself it’s not to bad
samvel…. – :
Fruity scent with noticeable berries mixed with pink pepper. To me it smells a bit smokier that Guilty Intense, the parchouli is more prominent here. I get a little bit of violet after the drydown.
Playful, sweet, heavier evening fragrance. I would prefer more prominent floral notes to it so it would make it really different to Guilty Intense.
ALEK.ER – :
Open with fresh fruity berry before slowly fade away till flora, patchouli along with hint of pink pepper appear and finally drydown with amber and powdery scents.
I think this perfume is beautiful fruity flora, feminine, sweet but has a hint of “dark aura” ( I understood why they call “guilty” and “black” ) that made me feel elegant, power and mystery.
And it’s more interesting because the longevity for my (very quickly absorbed) skin is long lasting and the sillage is good even if the average is moderate. I sprayed at 7 a.m. and now 6 p.m. I can smell it. seem like it’s suitable for my chemical.
I can wear it both of day and night. ( happy! )
aleks-LM – :
i just got it from a swap and i really like it. it seems to be similar to original, but i am no expert, i just barely tested it some time ago. Gucci Guilty Black is not a perfume i would wear for profesional situations, quite the opposite. it has a vibe of dates, parties and ocasions like these. i will update later how much i like it after some time, but now it seems to be perfect for winter and for coming holidays festive season. i got it on a day that was good for me, and the fragrance captures well the feeling of optimism and confidence. very feminine as well, sensual and flirty in a grown up way. pretty much all the good things i expect from a fragrance in black bottle. like it a lot!
Nichka77 – :
Gucci Guilty Black for women is a lovely floral with fruity berry notes with a hint of spice and patchouli. It’s longevity and sillage is moderate, may be few hours on my skin. However the scent is not a typical floral but different in a sexy way. It is a bit similar to the original Gucci Guilty but has more depth and lasting power. .
Cirwayram – :
This is certainly different from the original guilty, but it is still somewhat similar to the original. It still has the sweet sultriness about it and the pink pepper which is was made it so amazing. With the added florals and fruits the scent doesn’t stand out for the pink pepper specifically anymore, which is why i like to think it was called and suited the name guilty but it is still a nice variation of the original. There are aspects of this and the original that are perfectly combined into one beautiful mixed fragrance. I prefer the packaging of this bottle too. The guilty bottle would age easily with the gold like colour they used for the bottle. The gold colour would fade and erode quickly.
pepo123 – :
I first gave a negative review of this eau de toilette but after two weeks of owning it I have had a change of heart. I get so many compliments on this one! And the more compliments I received, the more it helped to realize that this EDT was actually worth my impulse buy.
This smells like red berries done right, that it doesn’t smell synthetic or like syrup. Just right. It also makes me think of chocolates. Lastly I love the blown up patchouli on this one. It’s heavy so it smells like dollar bills that have been sitting in the wallet for a long time. It smells like men in dark business suits and vegas. Money money money and POWER. It smells sophisticated, and rich, and sensual. Definitely one for night time but I wear this even to work and I get so many compliments from men and women alike. I absolutely have fallen in love with this power flacon. If you want to smell sexy yet sophisticated and powerful, wear this.
Sillage – heavy
Longevity – about 4-5 hours on me
fuad476 – :
A true lady scent. This is a classy, powdery floral-fruity perfume. Such a good take on the powder smell and presenting it in an intimate way. I’m not a fan of the opening, but the “dry-down” is too feminine, sensual, and remarkable. It could be light in sillage, but it’s longlasting and noticeable from a close range.
Again Aurelien Guichard is behind such a subtle perfume. Now I can call him the powdery-notes-man, for his (Narciso Poudre) + (Valentino Poudre) + (Trussardi My Name, which resembles the most innocent baby powder ever).
alesandrwolf – :
Mmmm this perfumes is sweet, fruity then floral…i like it better than the original.
123qwe – :
Hmm… it’s a fruity-sweet fragrance that becomes powdery in the dry down. I wouldn’t say it’s original or sexy or dark for that matter. I get the pepper only in the first few minutes, then the fragrance softens and becomes creamy. Still, probably better to use for the night as it might be too cloying during the day. The original is definitely more ‘guilty’.
medoOdormup – :
I smell sweet, fruity then floral. I love it!!!
monya_00 – :
I really disliked the original gucci guilty because it smelled like baby powder and nothing else on me. This is really nice because of the berry note. It is more complex and sexy than the original. Longevity and sillage is moderate.
caaster – :
I was recommended this by someone who said it gives somewhat of the same impression as my signature scent, Hugo Boss Intense. Smelling them next to each other I see what she means. Intense has a slight sporty/shaving cream/unisexy edge to it though, and this one doesn’t. This one is sweeter as well. It’s nice, but not a love.
Yanoffsky – :
I have this and I can’t seem to reach for it, not my favorite at all. Open to swaps
Mrzeta – :
This fragrance is almost as confusing as its predecessor, boring, mildly fruity, and peppery but I can’t really tell a difference between this and Guilty. This one is slightly more fruity.
This fragrance is in a word, nice, not bold, daring, mysterious, dark, just nice. I really don’t think this is an addition to the Guilty line, it’s almost exactly the same to me.
Just like Guilty this perfume is only guilty of having a misleading name and the only mystery I’m left with is why its called Guilty Black as though it was a sexy or sexier version, but it’s not. Although the long winded description says it, this perfume is not breaking any rules
I won’t be purchasing the full size; the pepper in this one gives me a headache
evn935intitytek – :
I think I was expecting something a little darker and more mysterious than this, based on the name and the sleek bottle. It’s not a particularly inviting scent. It’s predominantly fruity – but the raspberry feels a little more sour than sweet. I can faintly detect the pink pepper, but the remaining notes are lost on me. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t make the ‘raw and compelling’ statement it claims to.
vhx841speagoessenda – :
It smells like a cherry hand cream. Even my husband asked me if I changed the one I’ve been using and bought a cherry one. No sillage at all, all skinscent-y. It’s nice, but I prefer Intense version better.
lesscontwinca – :
I received this perfume as a present before my trip and I really like it. Its sweet fruity smell has a long durability and power. However, it’s not annoying. It’s quite feminine and maybe too sweet for me and definitelly doesn’t have any “dark” notes as it could indicate the serie Black. But still a good perfume which I will always associate with my travel 🙂
igoresha-58 – :
The packaging and advertising don’t match the juice. There’s nothing dark, deep or sexy about this fragrance. I actually find the original Guilty more interesting. This is a nice, inoffensive powdery, baby wipe scent with a touch of barely there sweet fruits and an almost unnoticeable and very clean patchouli. I was expecting a vavavoom, sexy time scent, but this is simple, quiet, boring, good girl fragrance. There isn’t a sexy bone in her body.
cheap ugg boots – :
Quick burst of red berries then a hit of pink pepper and purple flowered smoke on a bed of green amber 🙂
Lovely little rainbow 🙂
L: Moderate/Low
S: Soft
dtt – :
sweet and chic This one is my favorite of the Gucci Guilty.
zimakm – :
Sweet and Smokey but hardly fruity imo.
kazakvadim1970 – :
Dark Sweet And Smokey! This one is my favorite of the Gucci Guilty. Looking for something dark and sweet, then this is it.
nastya01 – :
I love the way this one smells on clothes rather than skin. It is very mild and has this mature smell to it. It’s a cool day time perfume and can be a signature scent too. I’ll definitely purchase another bottle.
buxer2011 – :
I like this one, but I probably wouldn’t purchase. It isn’t very unique. On initial spray, the berry note is prominent. On me, the drydown is creamy, but doesn’t turn powdery at all. I don’t get the lilac or violet at all, mostly fruit.
dkr788intitytek – :
Right off the bat, this one smells a little like sweet baby powder because of the pepper, violet and lilac, but after a few minutes, the peach is definitely noticeable. It’s nice and ripe, yet not in that way that makes your mouth water. After that fruit wears down, it feels more well rounded. It is so delicate and dry and warm, though the fragrance was inspired by “danger.” Patchouli isn’t really present on my skin until the end, but it isn’t super prominent and just gives a good edge to the violet. After eight hours of wear, I can finally notice raspberry and amber, and it pulled something vanilla on me!
I do prefer this Black version over the originals, since they lack a “something.” I think the red berries in this juice did the trick.
ssv_sonar – :
Like it, I think this scent would please enyone. Could be a blind buy for sure.
First notes are creamy, sweet, like heliotrope, I gues it’s violet, lilacs and red berries. And at dry down there’s sweet light amber. Very luxurious smell. I feel rich wearing this.
Batur – :
nice fruity sweet frangrance. Not too young or mature, not too sweet or weak. A bit sexy everyday wear. Not special enough to be memorable or classic. The advertisement poster doesn’t reflect the style of the scent at all
oki956speagoessenda – :
I like a fragrance with patchouli in it. I, a person who can’t stand the thought of patchouli let alone the actual smell, like a fragrance with patchouli in it. There is hope for every patch-o-phobe out there, LOL!
On a slightly more serious note, I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised by GG Black. I have the original GG and I don’t know what I was thinking when I bought it because all I can smell is patchouli when I first spray it and it makes me gag. This, however, comes across in a much different way to me. The patchouli is present, but it seems more well-behaved and tolerable. Perhaps it is the opening sweetness of berries and gentle nuances of lilac that calm the patchouli down; whatever it is, this is a thing of delightful beauty on my skin and I’m seriously considering buying a full size version once my little sample is gone.
makarchik – :
Gucci guilty Black, found This version discounted and had to have it:) bought it Without smelling it, based on The reviews here. I have Never tried any of The GG Line before, it just did not have my interest, untill now. This is very surprising, youthful and fruity,mainly cherries.
Sillage and longevity is moderate, This is probably due to it being an EDT.
romanx373 – :
It’s noting special but not bad at all… Smells like cherries in my eyes..
robecrerSlica – :
I was neither not a fan nor a fan of Gucci Guilty. I’m sure I’ve sprayed it a few times in passing but found it vague/immemorable. Struck by the more constrasting bottle, I decided to try this one and the dry down is 90% like Dior Addict Eau Delice. It has maybe a dollop less of Vanilla, but the Cranberry/Vanilla combo is definitely there. The beginning notes are quite pleasant, and almost interesting but it’s sort of vaguely fruity, slightly sweet and a tiny bit creamy. It’s less challenging than the bottle might indicate and though I like Eau Delice, I find it somewhat cloying and the same drydown here affects me similarly.
z1m – :
Smells like a heftier version of Dior Addict Eau Delice 🙂
ood954speagoessenda – :
Slightly spicy and red berry at first, then dreamy and sweet floral. It’s very pretty, definitely dominated by lilac for me, which I love! I don’t get the name but I actually think the bottle is pretty nice, though it makes me think of batman. 😀
Lasts a ridiculously long time on me, I smell nice all day long. 🙂 Love!
aquatinta – :
Gucci Guilty Black is an amplified version of its predecessor, Gucci Guilty. This is not an intense fragrance, per say, rather Black is sweeter and juicier. The bottle is, ironically, quite colourful with the red glass design; which I really like.
The opening of Gucci Guilty Black is all fruits. Raspberries and red berries and pink pepper. The lilac of the original is replaced with violet to give Black more warmth. The patchouli note is so quiet as to be almost non-existent and the amber is sweet and musky.
I love this fragrance; it’s in the same sweet/musky/floral family as 212 Sexy by Carolina Herrera and Wink! by Avon, both of which I wear. It’s not terribly ground-breaking or original, but it’s still a great fragrance. Don’t be put off by the dark packaging and marketing; this scent is entirely appropriate for daywear because of all those berries. Longevity is around 6 hours, although it becomes difficult to detect at around 4. Silage is moderate.
Seljanin – :
Well, at first I thought it was a men’s fragrance. I liked the fruity-spicy start but there was something masculin and disturbing in the dry-down which made me get rid of this perfume.
Dmitriy Rodionov – :
I love this one, but it makes me angry. Comes on strong, seduces with red berries and molten purple liquid sex, then puts all of its demure lilac clothing on and leaves me abruptly. Pretty little bitch. Expensive, too. I’ll never commit to the full bottle. For that kind of cash, I’d expect it to put out. 😉
TishaRu – :
Nice, wearable, light and pleasant. I think it’s very easy-going scent, you can’t go wrong with it.
A little more fruity than the original Guilty. Not overwhelmingly sweet or annoying in any way.
There’s a little bit of everything, I think it’s quite fine.
I loved the original more, as it reminded me of beautiful lilacs at the countryside, but this is also very-very nice.
I don’t understand the name though. This doesn’t smell like black guilt to me.
AnTiLeD_62_RUS – :
Funny, but this actually reminds me of Jovan Black Musk which I miss dearly!
adlor – :
This one was a blind buy. Bought it a month ago. Big mistake! There is just something sickening about it, I believe it is the combination of powder and amber that make this scent unwearable and somehow heavy. The packaging is great, and that is pretty much the only thing I like about this.
povarotti – :
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I am a big fan of the originial Gucci Guilty and Guilty Intense so I was expecting to like this. I sprayed it onto my hand and I instantly loved it. It was definitely Gucci Guilty, but much sweeter, much more fruiter. The pink pepper and red berries are definitely detectable. The patchouli is just a hint, so all you patchouli-loathers need not worry. Nicely blended fragrance, not too much of anything.
SILLAGE & LONGEVITY
Not great. Around 4 hours max. Stays close to the skin. Considering perfume never lasts long on my skin, no matter how strong it is, I’d also check other reviews.
FEELINGS PROVOAKED
Sexy, edgy, modern
CONCLUSION
A nice edition to the Gucci Guilty family, It’s definitely worth a try. And I think it’s worth mentioning I’ve seen Guilty Black selling online much cheaper than the originial Guilty so shop around for a good deal (I’ve seen the 75ml selling on allbeauty.com for £31).
Waggypexy – :
When I first tried this I immediately disliked it. I thought it was loud and obnoxious. The second time, I realized I might have been influenced by the name and the bottle. To me, what’s inside is more playful than seductive as its image would suggest. I still wasn’t won over, but I went from hate to dislike. The third time, I went from dislike to interest. And now, I think I can safely say I like this. Though who knows what the fifth attempt will bring.
It opens with a blast of berries, then pink pepper, then raspberry, then patchouli and nectarine. Slowly the florals start to peep out as it sits. It’s spicy, but definitely not dark and edgy. It’s warm and pretty sweet, actually. It’s well-suited for a fall evening out or a winter evening in.
EvoveHofBopfs – :
GGI opens rather fruity with berries you can feel original Guilty in this but Intense is more fruity with raspberry and peach.
It then dries down with amber and patchouly being quite intense.
It’s rather nice but personally I prefer Guilty EDP also longevity is not very good here sillage is moderate.
Baltuka7 – :
While cleaning out my room yesterday I found a sample spray of this hiding away somewhere. It’s not the kind of thing I usually wear, and I’m not even sure where I got it because it’s not the kind of thing I would be drawn to, but because of that it was the first thing I reached for this morning. Surprisingly enough, I’m very impressed!
This starts off with a juicy fruit note (current, I guess, but I actually thought it smelled more like raspberry) and then mellows out into a creamy peach/lilac combination. There’s just a hint of spice in the background but it’s not overpowering–even my dad, who usually hates patchouli, decided he likes this one. It’s less “dark” than I was expecting but it’s very pretty.
Since I haven’t tried the original I might do that before I decide if I want to get a bottle of this, but I really like it and I’ll have fun using up my tester.
sandal77772 – :
I got this one at discounted price(at my own risk considering some of the reviews…), and I like it a lot – it’s different from the majority of scents on the market, definitely grown-up and sexy, stays close to the skin, which makes it wearable day time and evening, and the longevity on me is good 4-6 hours:)
Gartmeele – :
I was really craving a new perfume, something sexy and mysterious. After sniffing around Ulta for what seemed like ages, my nose kept coming back to this one.
It smells completely different on me, than it did on the card. My skin tends to turn things super powdery, while on the card it smelled more berry.
This is sexy, sweet, but not cloying. Powdery, but not in a baby powder way. It’s a sexy type of powder. It’s sultry and dark. I feel that it could be worn day or night, depending on the person. It’s heavy on the patchouli, and pink pepper, with a touch of raspberry, and amber. I don’t reach for this one often, but I’m glad to have it in my line up. A great night or date scent!
yhk189speagoessenda – :
Hate to admit this but I’m usually a play it safe girl and I’m 37!!!???
I usually love the very fresh, innocent, fruity floral with just a little amber musk woodsey base. So, when I first smelled the guilty’s, I thought, No Way!!but I’m finally tired of playing safe so I made myself try the One and was pleased. It was okay, actually. Then I tried guilty Black and at first it kind of scared me. Then as I started roaming around Macy’s, I could smell it on me and was like WOW!!! It smelled warm yet fresh. I really like it. It’s a flirty but still classy. Definitely, snuggable!!! I’ve gotten many compliments wearing black. The only downside is the longevity. No more than 3 to 4 hours. I wish they made an EDP, for sure.
OwedUtese – :
I picked up a roller ball of this a few weeks back and I have wanted to write a review on this but I’m having trouble figuring this out. Not because I don’t know if I like it or not, because I defiantly do, but because I can’t really pick up what I’m smelling. It’s like when you wake up from a good dream that immediately starts to fade away from memory but you can remember small bits and pieces and you try to put the pieces together but you can’t, all you remember is it made you feel happy but you don’t really know why.
To me, this perfume is just as soft as those hard to reach memories. With the black and red bottle and named “Guilty”, I guess I keep expecting this to be loud and in your face- but it is soft, slightly sweet and demure. This should have been named “Innocent”.
The opening is all pink pepper, then somewhere in the middle it’s a soft….I don’t know! It’s just “soft”. Maybe amber with a touch of the lilac? I really can’t tell what any of these notes are other then just “pretty”. I sprayed this on about 20 minutes ago to revisit it and I have to press my nose to my skin to get any scent. I really wish this was longer lasting and had more projection because it is very pretty and I’d probably get a full size if that were the case. Unfortunately it’s a bearly there skin scent that could use more punch with a name like “Guilty”.
Shram3007 – :
I’m a BIG fan of Gucci Guilty so I was eager to test this today when I saw it in a perfume section of a department store.
At first I liked it and thought it was very similar to the original Gucci Guilty, maybe a little bit fruitier though and the lilac is far less noticeable sadly, and I thought it was very pleasant. Luckily, I didn’t even notice the patchouli in it, which was a VERY good thing because I really hate that note! Sadly though, after about 3 hours Guilty Black virtually evaporated and I can only smell it very slightly if I stick my nose right against my wrist! I tested two other perfumes as well on different parts of my arms .. Chopard Wish and Moschino Cheap & Chic Chic Petals .. and both of those have outlasted the Guilty Black.
So, for me, this would be a perfume to skip because I don’t see the point in buying a fairly costly perfume that has almost no staying power. Luckily I have a bottle of the original Guilty which I got in a swap and I’d definitely get another bottle of that when I run out but I wouldn’t waste my money on Guilty Black, despite it smelling nice while it lasted!
Nistol – :
this is more fruitier than GOLD. Gucci Gold scent is really gender neutral, anyone can wear. I find Gold more muskier and bolder than this one.
JukulumbyoH – :
I AM A MAN AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BLACK AND RED FRAGRANCE BY GUCCI SO MUCH, THAT I BOUGHT ONE JUST MYSELF A SMALL 60 DOLLAR BOTTLE TODAY!!!
Badnofs – :
Absolutely love this scent! I cannot get enough of it! It’s definitely in my top list of favorites and possibly my signature. My fiancé also enjoys it. A few years back I tried the original Gucci Guilty and liked it but not enough to buy it. The original actually smells more masculine on me than the Black. As we all know, each person’s skin chemistry is different, therefore, you should always try before you buy. It’s extremely frustrating reading strong, bashing negative perfume reviews when a person’s skin chemistry rejects a certain scent. We all wear what smells good on ourselves, there’s no need to totally bash a perfume. Constructive criticism is much better than bashing. Just saying….
relibor – :
Hmmmm….testing it out for the second time in the dark. First time I thought it was sexy. But i I didn’t like it on my skin. I think it’s the terrible patchouli note that Gucci overdoes a lot of the time. It’s in several of their fragrances and it kinda smells like wet pencil shavings or sweaty money…the dry downs usually make me feel sick. Gucci if you are reading this a lot of your fans don’t want this note in your scents. So get rid if it please. ..I really got a good blast of this when I first squirted…..however, it was mercifully gone within a few minutes and in really liking the masterfully present lilac uniquely associated with guilty. The Same really elegant clear scent that the regular guilty has and it is a quality scent. It does smell expensive. Maybe that’s why they have that paper smell in there because they want to be associated with money perhaps. A few reviewers cited that it reminded them of Vegas and turning heads and lights and it does…..but also expensive suits and cutting deals. Fancy floral arrangements in front of waterfalls in five star hotel suites. Something about this scent makes me feel alive and like I am really good…like a make it happen girl. If I can get it to last a few hours I think I’m going to buy this.
uliana_kalinina – :
I rather like the regular Guilty, and was a bit sad to see this rather than that in my sampler. I found it a bit cloying from the bottle.
On my skin, though, I think I like this rasperry version a touch more. Unlike the overwhelming mess I get on the card, on me it’s red rasperry, amber and a sheer floral that comes and goes. (I suspect violet is the ephemeral one, but the lilac seems touch and go, too)
wart – :
not that this is particularly bad mix but i do not associate this mix with sexiness but rather innocence. i can not shake the memory of play-doh from this scent so to me this is mis-named
1klass – :
MMM This fragrance has something in particular that I can’t describe.
I don’t have this fragrance but yesterday I went shopping with my two sisters and they have made me immediately try the scent..when I sprayed it on my hand at the biginning I did not like it very much,it was too heavy and the fact that this fragrance has a lot of alchol smelled too much of fruity-wine.
But after a while the smell was biginning to unfold and I could smell the sweetest notes like raspberry and pink pepper.
I give this fragrance 4/5 for the lovely notes and because I can’t resist it even though it gives me a headache!
Fudo – :
Very sexy fragrance. I find it strikes a personal note with me and as such it has become one of my current favourites. Behind the purchase of this scent comes a story of love, betrayal and sensuality Ha! Went through an emotional roller coaster ride with this bad boy appropriately titled ‘guilty’.
marica – :
It’s got all the notes I love in fragrances… I’m not sure why it comes off like stale powder to me, very disappointing results on my skin.
kvaga – :
My boyfriend bought me Gucci Guilty Black as a Christmas gift(the biggest package). It is a very elegant, glamourous and luxurious scent. Very stylish, sexy and full of passion as well. I always get compliments wearing it!
zve011speagoessenda – :
Sweet, dark, and mysterious. The first spritz is boozy fruity, a little medicinal then it’s sweet and sweet. The drydown is warm sweet amber, a bit powdery.
Notes from official site:
top notes of pink pepper and red fruits
heart notes of violet
base notes of patchouli and amber

The intial spray blast was not that great- smelled plasticky to me.
However, let me tell you- things quickly changed for the better! This is the perfect scent for young sexy moms who rock! It’s fresh, sexy, addictive, and comforting all in one… not at all black or dark, like the bottle suggests. I also get a beautiful powdery smell that reminds me of my daughter’s baby powder (Johnson&Johnson soothing chamomile/ lavender).
Highly recommend to anyone- it’s also very safe.

I smell peaches, makeup and amber. Not a lot of patchouli or pepper.
Here and there I get a whiff of berries, but I have to think about it.
Final drydown is basically amber. I don’t find it dark or sexy or even very interesting.

I spent a long time in the store deciding which fragrance I was going to purchase, and I ended up choosing this one over the original Gucci Guilty and Gucci Guilty Intense. What kept drawing me back to smell this again and again was something I couldn’t put my finger on for a while.. Then I realized, it smelled exactly like chocolate covered cherries! Juicy, dark and sweet at initial spray and then developing into something sexy, cuddly and warm still with a little kick of sweetness. Although it’s an EDT it really lasts a good amount of time, close to 5 hours on my skin. Perfect for fall and winter, this is an absolute go-to smell for me when I want something sexy for colder days.

The openings of the Gucci’s have not impressed me. The are rather soft and I would suppose I have acquired a taste for a stronger, more robust perfume that can take me away, one that will grab me by the shoulders and shake me. Granted, there is no horrible alcohol whizz at first hint, just a soft hint of something to come. Maybe peach. Maybe vanilla. So we have generic fruity-gourmand blended into a soft cream sitting low, so low that I must put my nose into it and therein lies the problem. The patchouli is so weak I don’t know it’s there. Another common scent packaged oh-so-prettily, rather vampy to catch the eye of unsuspecting wallets, a designer name for those that care enough about labels, pretty packaging and the money shall be spent on commonality.

This is the most gorgeous perfume that I own, from beginning to end i just adore it. Sweet yet sophisticated, and on my skin lasts the whole day.

Sometimes the flanker just gets it “right”, or is better on with my chemistry than the original. Intense was cloying, Black is delicious and great for fall. It lasts several hours for me and I get compliments. Smell it for yourself and see how it goes.

to the reviewer that complained about the bottle’s ‘vampirish’ looks – nothing wrong with that! i actually prefer my ‘sexy’ scents to look sexy and dangerous, and my ‘classy’ scents to look… well, classic. love this bottle. period.
on to the scent: dark cherries, lilac, patchouli is what i smell. I LOVE IT. i have both the original and this. its a mouth-watering scent, with that hint of ‘danger’ to it.
i give it 4/5 stars and would most likely repurchase (unless something even better comes out, cause i like to change it up).
you go, gucci!

Well, not worth buying, it stays on my skin for about 30 minutes, then gone. Nice scent, a bit sweet, a bit fruity, a bit flowery. Like many others – but this one is last in line – it doesn’t smell anything after 30 minuter.. Bad work Gucci.
Hm, inte värd pengarna, den känns på huden i ca 30 minuter, sen är den borta. Trevlig doft, lite söt, lite fruktig, lite blommig, som så många andra men denna är sist i ledet. Den doftar inget alls efter en halvtimme. Dåligt Gucci.

If only there was an EDP…..

I LOVE this frag. It’s sweet, but there are some spicy undertones 😉 Maybe it’s not exactly sexy, but seems like a good scent to wear when going out on a date when you’re in your late teens-early 20s. Works great with my body chemistry, but since my skin is extremely dry (like, “bleeding when I stretch my hand too much” dry) the longevity isn’t the greatest, but it manages to go on for 4-5h, which is pretty much a miracle on me!

I like the original Gucci Guilty.. The intense version has more depth and longivity though. That is why when I got Guilty Black, I thought it was going to be the ultimate buy for me. To my disappointment, it smelled very heady and masculine.. It is a very nice and well crafted perfume, bu
