Guilty Absolute Eau de Parfum Pour Homme

Created by the legendary duo of designer Alessandro Michele and master perfumer Alberto Morillas, Guilty Absolute broke all the rules of mainstream perfumery when it was released. Unlike most perfumes that change significantly from top to base notes, this is a linear fragrance—meaning the scent you spray is the scent that stays with you all day.

The fragrance features a custom-made blend called Woodleather, which provides a raw, dry, and “medicinal” leather aroma that is far removed from the sweet or “suede” leathers found in other scents. This is paired with Goldenwood (a new natural extract of Nootka Cypress) and three types of Patchouli oil. The result is an earthy, smoky, and “gasoline-like” sophistication that evokes images of high-end leather goods, old libraries, and dark forests. It is widely praised by fragrance connoisseurs for its artistic bravery and incredible longevity, though it is recommended for those who prefer “bold” over “safe” scents.
