What does Guilty Absolute pour Femme smell like?

Most voters point to fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a small minority. It is placed mostly on night-out and evening occasions, though daily wear has its share. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. About half of voters call it feminine, followed by modern.

Blackberry brings a fruity sweetness and Bulgarian rose the floral side, while monarda adds a spicy edge. Amber softens the sweetness, and Goldenwood®, Nootka cypress and Indian patchouli give it a woody, earthy weight, with a synthetic touch among the accords. Elie Saab Le Parfum Royal and Pascal Morabito Pompei have a close profile.
