Today I am feeling youthful, confident, individual and charming courtesy of Gucci Guilty Elixir De Parfum for Women. Have you smelt it yet?
Let me start by saying they got the name right! It is truly called Elixir for a reason! The second time I tried this perfume was at the Paris Gucci flagship store during Paris Fashion Week. I was so enchanted by it I knew I had to find a time to review it properly.
The smell is a magnificent Alice in Wonderland experience that will leave you feeling as though you can take on the world.
Also isn't the violet glass flacon a beauty? Not only is it a reflection of the Violet Accord key ingredient but in my opinion the colour violet says 'sophistication' and 'confidence' which as I mentioned this fragrance exudes. Gucci is such a great colorist.
Other key ingredients of note in my estimation are the Wisteria Accord, Vanilla Absolute and Tonka Beans.
I will be replacing my signature scent which happens to be Gucci Bloom Intense with this Elixir because one's beauty experience should be as aspirational as one's fashion experience.
Gucci Guilty Elixir De Parfum retails for £126 at Gucci here.
