Gucci Guilty Intense

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on pink pepper and mandarin orange, moves through lilac, violet and heliotrope, and settles on amber and patchouli.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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