This is super unique to my collection and my first Gucci fragrance. I don’t like the other Gucci guilty flankers but this one is different and so much nicer. Smells amazing to my nose.
This is amazing, women absolutely love this. Get this bottle, leave it in the package, then wait 4 years and sell it for 4 times the price when it gets discontinued.
Picked it up this weekend and I really like it. Completely different from everything else in the line. I couldn’t stop smelling my arm after I put it on.
Bought it yesterday. Hated the opening, but the dry down is amazing. Was getting compliments all day long. Everyone was asking me what colone I'm wearing... crazy
Ash, I bought this on friday at the Gucci boutique @ Saks 5th Ave in Manhattan…I sampled it & I loved it right away ! To me it reminds me of Guilty Absolute but a fresh version, smooth & classier !!! Excellent manly cologne !!!
Since most of your followers here are "male", I know you don't review women's fragrances, and your channel is called gents scents, but we would love to see your top 10 female fragrances. After all these years you must have some opinion on those too! It would be a cool video
Or a video on great unisex scents. I'm a woman who enjoys dark, deep and heavy scents and tobacco and leather notes. A lot of fragrances made for women tends to be boring for me so almost all of my fragrances are unisex or made for men
Just picked up this gucci elixer from macys. Went to pick up azzaro wanted by night. I was given a sample of this gucci and it smelled great. Also picked up boss elixer. My collection is growing. Wanted by night is going for 50 at macys
I'd like to add that Quentin Bisch is the perfumer behind this fragrance. He is an absolute stud and has created some of the best fragrances around. Add Gucci Elixir Pour Homme to that list, this fragrance is awesome!!
Out of all the elixir's I own (Le Male Elixir, Sauvage Elixir, Loewe Esencia Elixir, Boss Bottled Elixir) this is my favorite. For some reason, its really unique, very welcoming, and stands out. I compared it to Reflection 45 side by side and they're not the same but I do agree with Ash its the floral aspects that correlate both. I'm very happy to add it, but it is quite pricey for 60ml
So far I've been pretty pleased with the elixirs I did choose to buy, I tend to wear them more than most of my other fragrances, so keep them elixirs coming
For me this is very close to Reflection Man, not a clone, but the same vibe. I need to compare directly with Pegasus, but for now I don't see that much similarity. Also, I don't see any similarities with SWY. However, this stuff is awesome, and strong, I sprayed a tester yesterday, I can still smell it today.
Got a 2ml sample of this with some Xmas gifts for friends, and wore it today. Blown away by how much I'm enjoying it, and my 'No more until '24' plan might be in danger 🙃
One thing you didn't describe that I really think comes through for me at least. I get a tiny bit of root beer or licorice in the opening/mid that I struck me very well even after having smelled 25-30 other scents beforehand in the store. It was very different and refreshing along the sea of samey sweet blues that are all over right now
Hello Ash, Great review as always, gotta check this out soon, thx mate. Wishing you & your family all Happiness. Have a wonderful day. Cheers from Stockholm 🎉🎉
Finally got a sample of this from a local department store in Canada. The woman proactively offered it to me after I asked about Le Mâle Elixir and proceeded to help her out when she was trying to remember the names of the Hugo Boss and Gucci Elixirs. They might not know fragrances, but they recognize fragheads 😂 Edit/Update: this is solid stuff. Great for fall.
Terre d'hermes elixir, bleu de Chanel elixir, Tf Noir elixir, kenzo homme elixir dior homme elixir, the one elixir Azzaro most wanted elixir Armani code elixir / stronger with you elixir Montblanc legend elixir Prada luna rossa elixir Spicebomb elixir Valentino uomo elixir
You know what would actually be hype? Encre Noir Elixir. But this Guilty looks really cool. I'd rather have a left turn in the line-up than an elixir being "the super dark and sweet version" of everything.
Thx for review. Had bought it but got the wrong item and returned it and found another shop which was way cheaper (€ 105) and lucky me :D .. I love this release and to me it has even some niche touches.. Sweet, warm, light floral, fruity ? Great release but the retail price (€ 165) is a let down. Cheers from the Netherlands!
I love how you showed all the elixirs available for men when the market was not as large before as it is now beginning to expand among popularized scents.
Great review..would love to see a Dolce gabbana the one or la nuit de lhomme elixir IF they have that original dna with better performance. I'm all for elixirs 😊
Is it just me? At first I smelled Davidoff Coolwater right off the top, but then like you got the vanilla tonka leather, almost like the old bvlgari black? Def one of the best, most unique Elixirs/releases of 2024
got a compliment from a chick at work 6 or so hours after applying. she ask me what it was and told me its better than the other one i wear (le male elixir/killian angelsshare)
Box is bashed up, but who cares the fragrance is awesome, bit expensive though. But longevity is 8 to 12 hours depending on your skin. It’s a mix of Amouage reflection mixed up with Valentino born in Roma Green bottle😮😮🎉🎉❤❤
My new pdm will be here tomorrow can't wait. I will order gucci guilty exlir when it's available. Okay Macy's has it Dam didn't see it. I will check again
So is it only in 2oz bottles? I got a sample of this before it got released and I’ve been really liking it but I don’t wanna spend 190$ on it bc I don’t think personally it’s worth that much, not saying it a bad fragrance because honestly it’s one of the best releases this year In my opinion, I just can’t justify spending 190$ on it yk what I mean
Idk. My gf came home with a decant from dillards. With me doing zero previous research. At first sniff I immediately told her this smells like a reflection man dupe. Then i jumped on fragrantica and sure enough the community agreed.
Smelled this and I love it but I’m kind of on the fence on buying cause it’s like going back to a ex after a heart break *cough* *cough* gucci pour homme II
Just got a sample, and smelled it. It's okay I think nothing exciting. The sweetness leans forward to the feminine side and is still overly priced here in The UK.
Guilty elixir smells like straight bubble gum to me when i smelled it in store. Like they poured a liquid form of bubble gum in the bottle lol i didnt get enough time with the drydown but initial was bubble gum to me.

The Intro's you do now are just pure silliness & I'm here for it all 😂 Thnx for not only giving us your perspective but also some comedic relief 🤙🔥
My favorite was when he appeared in front of the camera like in a horror film 😂
An Elixir a day, keeps the doctor away.
*since you won't be able to afford the visit
We all know why Peter made this comment. This man actually brews his own amazing Elixirs
especially if you overspray
And your money 😅
true that@@Zeeangelofdeath
You know he liked it when it’s obvious how much fun he had describing how it smells lol
Bro, soooo I just bought this… and I’m so glad I did !! The scent on me it self, makes me happy and feels stress relieving
Now lets get a Top 10 Elixir list. Jokes aside I'm interested in seeing how this smells.
You’re saying “Jokes aside” but we all know it’s going to happen
I love this cologne. I think I’m going to make this my signature fragrance. Smells rich & luxurious
Best Elixir yet . Already my signature fragrance
@@CR-pw9il no way it’s better than Savauge Elixir stop it

Can’t wait to smell this one, wouldn’t have noticed it without you so huge thanks to you Ash!
I copped it on Wednesday, it took 3 sniffs for me to open that wallet

maybe something that the wife wears over the years..
Yes I was thinking the same thing!
And feature chealsea as well! It would be fun to watch and a great vid overall. I agree 100%😊
Would make a great buyers guide for the upcoming festive season.

If it's on the reflection man or darley angle sounds like a banger
Smells like pdm Pegasus exclusive or Pegasus itself not sure I don’t have it but from memories… what do you think?
Definitely
So far I've been pretty pleased with the elixirs I did choose to buy, I tend to wear them more than most of my other fragrances, so keep them elixirs coming

My “no more until I finish some up” ended when I bought Boss Bottled Elixir
@@MrMelonMan96 mine went out of the window before I finished the 2ml, and I had a full bottle a few days later 🤣
Smelled it for the first time at Macy's the other day. Was immediately reminded of The Most Wanted Parfum.
One thing you didn't describe that I really think comes through for me at least. I get a tiny bit of root beer or licorice in the opening/mid that I struck me very well even after having smelled 25-30 other scents beforehand in the store.

Fragrance review doesn't start till 4:27. Wow.
The day BDC Elixir comes out we will all collectively heare from the heavens a Bruce Buffer voice call out "And it's all over"
I just bought a bottle and has a very similar scent of pegasus parfum de marly!!!
Right? I’m surprised he didn’t say that
ADG Elixir please, and D&G The One Elixir, make them same smell but actually long lasting and done deal, same for YSL LaNuit l'homme.
They are working on a elixir for ADG the perfumer posted a teaser on Instagram 5 months ago
just picked it up at Macy's today and love it, thanks for the review
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

Eros elixir, Burberry hero elixir, L'homme and/or La nuit de l'homme elixir. At least one of these are on the way if not all of them lol.

@@thegreatneessI doubt Hermes and Chanel will have Elixir fragrances.
Bleu de chanel Exclusif, not elixir
The One Elixir
@@traneced1756 Stop with this comment under every video, and phrasing It in an ambiguous way like it's a thing
Niche quality but easy to wear. Amazing 😍
You know what would actually be hype? Encre Noir Elixir. But this Guilty looks really cool. I'd rather have a left turn in the line-up than an elixir being "the super dark and sweet version" of everything.
This thing rocks, but man is it expensive! Picked it up yesterday and it’s a beast.

Speaking of flankers, I'm so shocked Versace hasn't had a flanker of Dylan Blue.
For the last several years, I've been hoping for a Dylan Blue flanker.
I’m waiting for the day dolce & gabbana make a parfum version of The One!!!
Eros Elixir is the most likely choice. Shockingly enough, Eau Fraiche outsells Dylan Blue.
Wouldn't mind that either tbh@@phantomspaceman
Isn’t Dylan blue a flanker itself? Of the original pour homme
I love how you showed all the elixirs available for men when the market was not as large before as it is now beginning to expand among popularized scents.
Tried it at Macy’a today, thought it was really nice. Dry down definitely made it better, but still not worth the price for me
Macys *
They got a 15% off sale going on right now. Macy's
I just got and trust me guys it is fire 🔥 I’m usually not a Gucci fan at all but this one is fire 🔥
You are right bro, they killed it.
Great review..would love to see a Dolce gabbana the one or la nuit de lhomme elixir IF they have that original dna with better performance. I'm all for elixirs 😊
I lovvvvvvvvvve this fragrance but I haven’t been able to find it on any discounters ever since it released.
Is it just me? At first I smelled Davidoff Coolwater right off the top, but then like you got the vanilla tonka leather, almost like the old bvlgari black? Def one of the best, most unique Elixirs/releases of 2024
Dior started the elixir craze huh
You are wrong … Jean Claude Ellena made elixir de merveilles in 2006 for Hermes
@@MrJ-rw2swYeah, but this massive boom of elixir flankers didn’t start until Sauvage Elixir came out.
Just bought this Friday. I can pick it up from Macys today
Gucci Envy was one of the most incredible colognes ever.I cannot believe it was discontinued!
what would a "stronger with you elixir" smell like?
Considering how strong and sweet intensely is, it would be nuclear
Flexin with the Envy 😂😢 I want some more!
Don't forget Azzaro PH Elixir, which was one of the first (before Dior) 😀
Armani profundo vs gucci exlir?? What smells better
I think is similar to Rosendo Mateu No.5 and lattafa pride Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold and zimaya wujood those last two are every cheap
I'm liking the fact you have a bottle of YSL M7 next the Drakkar Noir 👌
What is an elixir, what’s the difference between an aftershave?
The One Punch reference made my heart happy 😂
I actually like you big bro. I’m subscribing right now
Great video Ash! 🤘
That studio looks awesome
Great review ash 🙌🏻
got a compliment from a chick at work 6 or so hours after applying. she ask me what it was and told me its better than the other one i wear (le male elixir/killian angelsshare)
How does it compare to Envy? 😊
Box is bashed up, but who cares the fragrance is awesome, bit expensive though. But longevity is 8 to 12 hours depending on your skin. It’s a mix of Amouage reflection mixed up with Valentino born in Roma Green bottle😮😮🎉🎉❤❤
Got it Sunday, and fell head over heels for it.
I want to smell this, I also want to wait however long for them to release it in a normal sized bottle so it doesn't look silly next to my others
it's a smoother vintage joop with white musks in the base
I think this stuff is fire 🔥
ash can u do ur top 10 elixirs tnx
How about everything Elixir 😮
Can’t find this on any websites 😢😢😢 only macy too expense brhahhh gents scent pls give meh Juan plz
All I want to know is when are we getting bleu de chanel elixir
Yeah, we all want that. Would blind buy it immediately at retail price
The battle of the elixirs…and I’m all for it
The way you say that just makes me imagine someone just grabbing their bottles and having them fight each other like a wrestling match
@@DarkHorseDanny look up ketchup and mustard battle.
My new pdm will be here tomorrow can't wait. I will order gucci guilty exlir when it's available. Okay Macy's has it Dam didn't see it. I will check again
Smells like Jacques Bogart Silver Scent INTENSE
I’ll have to give this one a try. Also, these intros are fire dude. Keep it up.😂💀👊🏽
So what does it smell like
So when are you and or Chelsea going to do a elixir rank video?
I get LeMale vibes, but from 1995. Super powerful and lasting. Just like the original LeMale.
The next Elixer is going to be Aqua de gio, Spice Bomb elixir, Dior homme elixir, and the most wanted elixir, and Guarlan elixer.
dior homme elixir is legit the only fragrance that I would straight up blind buy
@@Lubbic1considering the new ones dont have iris, maybe me too
i don't know anything abut colognes, but I like this one... for some reason it reminds me of root beer smell
This smells amazing!!!!
So is it only in 2oz bottles?

15% off right now at Macy's and if you apply for their credit card, I think you get something off on your statement
Where is this available?
I’m excited to try this
Idk. My gf came home with a decant from dillards. With me doing zero previous research. At first sniff I immediately told her this smells like a reflection man dupe. Then i jumped on fragrantica and sure enough the community agreed.
I have about 155 colognes lol. I’ve always liked a lot of colognes. It all started when I was like 11-12 around there.
I'd prefer an Eros Flame Elixir to an Eros Elixir.
No
Ashton is a wizard at this point with all these elixirs
Smelled this and I love it but I’m kind of on the fence on buying cause it’s like going back to a ex after a heart break *cough* *cough* gucci pour homme II
You know mister Quentin Bisch with the bangers .
The bottle is giving me Gucci Envy vibes. Not sure about the juice as I never smelt Envy
Just got a sample, and smelled it. It's okay I think nothing exciting. The sweetness leans forward to the feminine side and is still overly priced here in The UK.
When i can i shall be getting this one i think I've got more gucci fragrances than any other brand
Drakkar Noir Elixir, the day will come!
I bought it it's a dream
I have two kids and snd my 3rd is going to be an Elixir 😋🙃
Thanks Ash!
Reminds me a little of boadicea the victorious valiant
Guilty elixir smells like straight bubble gum to me when i smelled it in store. Like they poured a liquid form of bubble gum in the bottle lol i didnt get enough time with the drydown but initial was bubble gum to me.
If you guys like Amouage Reflection Man then you will like Guilty Elixir…very similar but I think it’s redundant to have it
Reminds me so much of Prada lhomme instense
