Only dead fish swim with the current
In a world where everyone wears and likes classic "blue" fragrances, which for me smell like any sports shampoo, I feel like a stubborn provocateur when it comes to perfume. After years of trying to follow the mainstream and I like these popular perfumes ala Sauvage, Armani Code and all my colleagues who have been representing the TOP20 in all drugstores for years and have been contributing to a uniform general smell in discos and clubs for years, I have to say that I don't like them and I simply can't wear them
With that the desire grew in me to flow against the current to not be one of these dead fish After TF Tobacco Oud has been my signature fragrance for over a year and the cessation of production has been bothering me for the past 2 months, I have been searching intensively for an alternative "Auf die Fres*e" fragrance.
It should be cheap, but different and provocative.

Already in 2017 I liked GGA, at that time it was too much for me and one wanted to please girls and not scare them away.
This time I dared and tested him intensively on the skin My God, it smells good. Provocative, rough, masculine, just different
For me, GGA is the outlaw among perfumes. Extreme Niche for small money (available for a small 40 Euro for 90ml).
You smell so completely different from the mainstream. There is nothing sweet, fresh or citrusy about this fragrance Just leather, wood and some whiskey and smoke. A fragrance that you have to wear with a lot of self-confidence.

For me just no fragrance for the casual leather jacket and biker boots, that would be too much clichee.
Like TF TO, for me it is a fragrance to wear with a suit, a shirt, or more elegant outfits. You may stone me, but it works fantastically.

This is probably also due to the fact that I live in Eastern Europe and the women here like a lot of masculinity, but the fragrance brought me, as well as TF TO, positive almost in love complements.
For me, an absolute aphrodisiac for a man (25+) with a lot of self-confidence and a certain "aura" of an educated alpha male, a loner who has everything under control, always knows what to do and is a certain gentleman despite his animalistic appearance.
This image of a man, tall, masculine, elegantly dressed, who enters a room and there is a silence of titles, an admiration and awe in the air, that's what a fragrance is. One is provocatively different, but in a not banal white, but well thought-out and elegant
Strong petrol and whisky accord for me the first 15 minutes, which changes into a leathery wood scent and in the next hours loses the leather and is replaced by subtle herbs.

No blind buy, no fragrance for slender low guys with little self-confidence, this fragrance would be as out of place on such a man as CK One is on me.

Authentic leather ... delicious
This is the third time I've gotten around to writing a review. Actually, I have nothing to add to the previous speakers. Two times when I wanted to write something, wanted to share, I thought. Oh no, it was really all said.
But I have recently tested many of my bottlings. Just yesterday and today of which I also had to place an order directly. But, .... BUT ... at the end of the day, here I sit.
I bought myself a bottle of the scent. Filled me directly something, when I am working or studying and I want to sniff a fragrance, Guilty is next to me. Totally happy after my tested perfume, I was sitting at my desk again. I see the Guilty bottling, am happy about it, smell it. Mhhhh.
Simply delicious. My environment has already made me aware of the fragrance. Why do I smell so funny, it smells somehow like a cow barn or fertilizer.
I'm sitting here, ready to go to sleep, wrapped in Guilty. I don't smell cow steel or manure.

I smell leather. Leather, which might not be associated with black patent leather shoes. But rather leather the color of conagc. Outside Smooth but matt. Inside it had rather the Aufgeraute strucktur. Maybe a little like the old leather backpacks in rectangle format.

I can not really perceive the patchouli, all other fragrance notes, I can also say nothing to, but I think the main role here plays the Woodleather. The fragrance runs totally linear. When I spray the scent on my hand in the evening, I can still detect the Woodleather in the morning. However, the scent decreases, it is noticeable but faint. Mainly in the morning I perceive a kind of spiciness that I would describe as peppery.
The scent lasts length, yet all the while I was looking for a scent after I was just as addicted, a scent that would stay just as consistently dirty to me, a scent with maybe more depth and something more complex and even more lasting or more sillage.
I searched, asked a lot of perfumas that have a lot of leather scents, tried a lot of scents that smell like Guilty.

But honestly, none have been there yet. I was allowed to get to know many leather fragrances (thanks to the Parfumas) which are good and which I will also still get. But none was like Guilty.
Finally, I got to try the similar scent from Kilian - Dark Lord. The opening of both actually resemble each other. But also only for a minute. Where Guilty is totally linear, the scent of Kilian is really very complex and changes. After a few minutes, the scents no longer have any similarity for me.
I'm not saying that the Kilian fragrance is bad because of that, no not at all. I think he is society more suitable. Not a crowdpleaser, but... perhaps more pleasant for other noses than the Guilty.
I find the Guilty really tasty and he has a very own character than I was allowed to smell so far. He smells delicious, you can not ignore the fragrance, he is present and shows totally confident that he is there.
Who wants authentic leather, dir well served here, but should bring a portion of healthy self-confidence.

According to the motto: If he is too strong, you are too weak.

Good night

Replica
When I withdrew money today in the city centre to possibly have change for the private sale of sunglasses, I got the call that the buyer unfortunately could not come after all. Well, on the one hand it was annoying, but on the other hand I could go back to the turquoise and see if they finally have something new again. Unfortunately, I am usually one step ahead of the branches in Austria and could only find the new Annayake at untested (irrelevos).
Now I walk through the shelves because I don't want to go home without fragrance on my wrist. Then I saw Gucci Guilty Absolute and remembered the first time I tested him on a strip of paper: Bah, no, I can't. In the meantime I have also tested other leather scents and expanded my scent horizon, as well as my scent tolerance a little. So let's test 2 right on your wrist.
The beginning is for me as frightening as the first time. You get the full force of Woodleather *registered trademark symbol* in your face and you have to prune for a short time. But since I tested it last time on a paper strip, I let it develop. Gradually something really floral develops, almost herbaceous. He loses the extremely scratchy and massive one bit by bit, but the leather smell is definitely still there.
Where La Yuqawam pour Homme reminds me of a freshly bought leather jacket worn by a girl with raspberry perfume, the Guilty Absolute gives me the leather couch flavor already mentioned several times. However, for me this is not a new couch, it is already properly sat in. Mixed with the aromas of the living room, the regular use of febreze to cover up mummy's occasional smoking, which is never really to get rid of. Guilty Absolute reminds me of the smell of the taxis in Sofia that stew in the sun with leather salon at 40°C and later bring you from traffic jam to traffic jam to your destination.
With all these memories, I'm almost surprised we're talking about Gucci here. Considering how uninteresting the other flankers have been so far. You could almost think that this is a fragrance that Replica would have liked to release.

This brings me now to my last point and that is affordability. Since I've been with Parfumo for almost a year now, I can also appreciate fragrances that I personally don't like. I understand what can be clever about it and what others love about it. That's what I see here. It's just a very authentic leather scent. However, I personally could never imagine wearing it. Neither would it suit any of my acquaintances or relatives. Maybe you could wear it on Halloween if you wanted to dress up as Leatherface. Perhaps it would be an advantage for hide-and-seek, since you would be even less noticeable behind the leather couch of the neighboring family. Otherwise I'd probably never wear it.

At this point a brief reminder of all those who might feel trampled on their feet by my commentary: As always, this is my own opinion and everything is subjective. I'm glad he could bring you joy.

Honour to whom honour is due
If you look at the comments and reviews on this fragrance. Strikes that there is only black or white. Either the Gucci is mercilessly punished with 1 to 2 points or it is highly praised. There's not much in the middle. It's amazing that this still allows for a relatively good average score of 7.5. I think it's commendable that Gucci has released such an individual fragrance. It probably won't be the biggest commercial success. It made me curious. So off to the department store Müller (opened its perfumery despite lockdown). There was a lonely bottle of the Gucci Guilty Absolute and a tester.
I must confess I immediately fell in love with the fragrance. I have not smelled something like this in designer fragrances for a long time. I immediately bought the 90ml bottle. I wear the fragrance now for 4 days continuously and am still excited. It is cold outside and there is high snow. I am wearing the warmest and softest leather scent I know. Fits great in the winter time. The way this scent smells, it should smell when you get into your brand new Rolls Royce. Finest leather and noblest woods. The dirty and animalic notes that are described here in some comments I do not perceive so. I find the scent soft and elegant. In my perception it is a so-called "skinscent". The projection is already restrained and very subtle after about an hour. The fragrance lies close to the skin and exudes its warm and soft aura. In the drydown, woody and and boozy accents join the leather. But other than that, I would describe the scent as very linear. There is no distinct scent progression. You definitely don't wear this scent for others or to get compliments. This is a fragrance you wear for yourself. By the fact that it only projects softly, I find it very versatile. I wear it now in the cold days even in the office. Gucci has managed to inspire me with the Guilty Absolute. For me, it is the winter fragrance of 2020/2021. I would be happy if more such unique fragrances were released, even if they only appeal to 50% of buyers. We are all looking for something special and individual

The one through the disk boxxer
Gucci Guilty Absolute is for me one of the most polarizing designer fragrances I know!
Moreover, also a strikingly atypical creation of Mr. Morillas, who, besides commissioned work for anyone who pays enough and wants to sell a masspleaser fragrance, is known as THE man for freshies and all-time classics like Acqua di Gio, Light Blue pH and *ahem* Office.

Which made me all the more surprised that such an uncompromising fragrance was created under his leadership. Because GGA is straightforward and directly uffe face. Not particularly complex or with great development (which in turn is typical for Morillas) but that's what makes him so interesting for me. A look at the notes gives a rough idea of where it's going. Vetiver, patchouli, cypress, woodleather and goldenwood - So leathery, woody, earthy. Check. This scent is pure and freshly tanned woody leather to spray on. No more, no less.

When I smell the scent I inevitably have an association with old leather and wood, oddly enough not in a bad way like the old leather lined wooden box in Grandma's attic. Rather, I always have the association of some rocker or other stereotypical do-not-good being coerced by his wife into monthly personal hygiene. His razor on the leather sharpening, on the solid wood table his shoes wixxend and drinking the Jacky directly from the bottle.

For me personally, the fragrance is almost unwearable and have so far also only negative comments received - nevertheless, I like him at times very much, because sometimes, but only sometimes, men like me have a bit of leather deserves, uh like... or so?!

The fragrance is for men who want to stand out, whether positive or negative should not matter to them. For men who want to provoke, or impregnate your leather cowl. For the men who box after 2 bottles of Jacky each of them stupidly comes through the window

An intimate close to skin scent what you might smell under a worn out leather jacket on a bare male skin.

A slightly animalic leather with earthy patchouli. There is cypress and vetiver, woody, smoky, and a touch of amber. Manly and unique.
