SpicyWhat does Guilty Essence / Guilty Black pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with coriander and lavender, while orange blossom and neroli give the heart a soft floral touch. In the base, patchouli, cedar and leather build a woody, lightly spicy foundation. The overall impression is clean and fresh, with the fruity and sweet sides staying in the background.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Close to half of voters find it masculine. Gucci Guilty Intense pour Homme and Cartier Eau de Cartier Concentrée have a close profile.
