Guilty Pour Homme Platinum by Gucci

So, I’ve had a small decant of Gucci Guilty Platinum Edition for many months now, and hadn’t ever tried it out. I wasn’t sure as to what it was, whether it was a new formulation, or what. So, I’ve been wearing it around, and will present my thoughts and experiences with Platinum in this review. As usual, I will cover what it smells like, how it performs, when it should be worn, or if it’s even worth a buy.

My Full Wear Review

Upon smelling the opening notes of Guilty Platinum, it struck me as being the same as the original Gucci Guilty. Is this the same fragrance in a new bottle?

I was trying to find the answer online, and it does appear, that this was a limited edition version of Guilty Pour Homme. Interesting, guess I’ll be reviewing this for a second time, then.

So, the opening is that familiar lemon and lavender blend, along with the warm pink pepper note. For me, the lemon/lavender combination is better in Luna Rossa Sport, versus this Guilty line. Still, it’s hard to dislike the bright citrus note with calming lavender, and an overall warm mood.

As it moves along, the orange blossom and lavender begin to take over, more of the composition. The lemon note is still present, just not as strong as it was, at the top. The fragrance is quite floral, very smooth and clean, and pleasant to wear.

Further along, we get some additional outdoorsy aroma from a solid cedar base, and light patchouli which gives Guilty Platinum some more depth. That’s about it for this fragrance, as it’s pretty linear overall, in its presentation. You get a floral sweetness, with elements of warm spice, and cedar.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

The sillage is not that powerful from this one. It’ll project around the area immediately surrounding you, but doesn’t take over the room.

Again, what reaffirmed for me that this was indeed just a re-packaged Guilty Pour Homme, was not only the smell but the performance. I get that same 5-6 hours of wear, on my skin, that I did with it.

One thing that I appreciated about Guilty, is its versatility as a fragrance. I like it in the warmer months of the year, but it is honestly, a nice scent to wear year round. Plus, you can wear it in pretty much any situation, and it’ll be fine.

It’s got enough attractiveness to be worn on a date, it can go casual, a night out, or even to the office. It doesn’t overpower and has a subtle touch, that can simply fit in.

Overall Impressions of Guilty Platinum

Overall, do I like Gucci Guilty Platinum? I mean, yes, it’s just Gucci Guilty. I’ve always thought that it was a pleasant scent to wear, but wasn’t a spectacular must have, for me. Why would you want Guilty Platinum?

I guess, if you wanted the limited edition bottle? Who knows? It’s already had its run, so perhaps, you can pick up a cheap bottle and save some money on your Guilty Pour Homme needs.
