Top notes are Bulgarian Rose, Blackberry and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Patchouli and Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Leather and Amber. "Under Alessandro Michele’s creative vision, master perfumer Alberto Morillasreinterprets the distinguished resin of Oud in a contemporary rendition: the oriental scent is combined with the signature notes of Gucci GuiltyAbsolute Pour Homme and Pour Femme. Mysterious and elegant, Gucci Guilty Oudis inspired by a walk in a forest. Top notes of blackberry, pink pepper and Bulgarian rose reflect the woods’ romantic aura, while the misty shaded areas are expressed through earthy notes of Golden Wood, patchouli and cypriol. The blend of dark ambery notes, leather and natural Oud add an enigmatic feel to the scent. The result is anexotic, smoky, sensual and leathery fragrance." - a note from the brand.
