Gucci Guilty (2010): Never Feel Guilty About Your Own Pleasures {New Perfume} {Celebrity Fragrance}

Gucci Guilty, it turns out, carries a message with it which is at the antipodes of a Catholic guilt trip. Turning the fallen-Eve concept on its head, Gucci is launching a perfume which is advertised starting with these words "The Guilty woman is..." Not "This woman is guilty of..."

"The Guilty woman is a glamgirl, daring and audacious; she likes to seduce; she is perceived as sexy. She is obsessed by fashion; she likes to go out and party; she only thinks about gratifying herself. Gucci Guilty...never feel guilty taking pleasure!"...

The fragrance is described as a floral oriental.

I tested it a bit the other day. For now, I'll confirm that it has a very sexy drydown. In a previous tweet, I said in an early reaction to it that it is "a subtle, sexy, feminine signature rather than a big-statement perfume. Great bottle which can be used as a mirror." Later that day, I thought that I should have added the terms "very sexy," and that the name "Guilty", with its sulfurous connotation, now made more sense. But here the sexy feeling deepens rather than jumps out at you in the opening stage.

Notes:  mandarin, pink pepper, peach, lilac, geranium, amber and patchouli.

The advert featuring actress and singer Rachel Evan Wood is supposed to be sizzling. I couldn't help but think how much her makeup made me think of that of her boyfriend and now fiancé, Marilyn Manson.
