Gucci pushed Guilty Intense Perfume further into drama than the original, Violet, Mandora, and Litchi opening with a fruity brightness that gives little hint of what follows. Plum, Tuberose, and Ylang Ylang deepen the heart notably, rich and intoxicating as the whole composition continues to develop further. Patchouli, Vanilla, and Vetiver ground the entire finish in a warm, resinous depth that gives the fragrance real, staying power throughout.
This floral oriental Eau De Parfum suits evening events and truly formal occasions especially well, bold rather than restrained about its own presence. The word intense is not an exaggeration here, and the fragrance never once apologizes for its own presence, from the very first spray to the very last lingering trace.
