Gucci Guilty Black, which is dark green, has weaker silage and is softer, fuller, and woody-green as the bottle suggests. The green note is dark and wet, that is a plus. The fragrance is considerably smoother than the original, less floral, and less spicy. Its notes are seamlessly blended, however, its homogeneity can also be considered a failure being a bit too monotonous.


Since we're set on considering only viable cases, I'll be short in my assessment of Gucci Guilty Absolute in the brown bottle and Cologne in the light green one. Absolute is great to smell but too demanding for casual wear, it is not appealing to a younger crowd. It certainly retails in some places, but it is mainly lost between niche and lux – for lux, it is too expressive and classic while niche lovers, after short praise, would certainly prefer something more niche. As for Cologne, it is a funny one, an idealized melancholy that Alessandro Michele stubbornly pickles for us already for the second time. The first time was Gucci Guilty Love Edition. The number of people who appreciated the boogery green bottle with a young grandpa in the ad is not large. However, the idea seems to be so dear to the Gucci art director's heart, that he pushes it again, in Cologne. An assortment of marinated woods and a sad and never-lived image of the 70s. Good luck with selling it to young people.


Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum in the matt black bottle is the latest one. It looks cool and edgy like the badass black finish of some cars. Eau de Parfum is a fuller, sweeter, darker, more floral, and a bit sweeter version of the original. It smells richer, but it somewhat crumbles under its complexity and lacks good projection. Eau de Parfum is for those who seek intensity and luxuriance over the already good original. This unhealthy trend made a screeching caricature of Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel in their parfum version. A perfume shouldn't scream. Too much is bad, it is as simple as that.


Fortunately, Gucci didn't pump their EDP with more wood, more spices and more power, only its top note has been playfully changed. It does smell wonderfully rosy when you spray it. Along with rose, we see balsamic vinegar, red chili pepper, and salt. What a combination! If you read the notes, you smell everything listed, however, I think all these fancy notes are merely a way to tame the rose to smell discretely masculine. The salty-sour savory accord reduces the lipstick aspect of the rose. The rose is nicely and quickly tucked into the woody base, making it voluptuous. I consider Eau de Parfum a lovely perfume, but I still prefer the good old basic original.
