OrientalWhat does Guilty Black smell like?
It opens with pink pepper and red fruits, so spice and fruit sweetness sit side by side. Violet at the heart pulls it in a powdery, floral direction. Amber and patchouli in the base leave a woody, oriental warmth, and the gourmand, sweet side stays present throughout.
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer clearly behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though daily wear isn't ruled out. Most voters read it as feminine. Gucci Guilty (Eau de Toilette) and Lancôme La Nuit Trésor à la Folie have a close profile.
