Gucci Guilty Absolute

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, like a new leather jacket, smoky with a bitter edge.

It opens on leather, moves through cypress and patchouli, and settles on woody notes and vetiver.

• leather: like a new leather jacket: dry, smoky, faintly bitter
• cypress: dry evergreen wood, resinous and a little sharp

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
