    To my nose there is hardly anything woody nor green in Gucci Gulty Elixir. I can rarely stand those notes. I find it to be powdery, soapy and floral, but not too flowery ! Gucci Guilty Elixir is probably the most refined, most sophisticated and most polished fragrance I have ever tried.

    Great video.. I stumbled upon Gucci guilty elixir 3 weeks ago at an off duty.. Having no knowledge about its existence, I was shocked to be immediately reminded of Reflection Man which I also have. Living in a cooler climate, I appreciate the density, power and warmth behind the Elixir.. They definitely don't smell all alike but the similarities are there.. I even tried layering the two but it's safe to say, they work better separately than together 😂

    Gucci Elixir is Stronger than my Tabaco Vanille and we all know what Beast TV is . But honestly maybe this is a Con for people that use different perfumes on a day . Elixir Cost 110 euro for 60ml and Reflection 360 euro for 100ml in Greece and most Europe.

    I wish Gucci had given the option of buying a larger size for a moderately higher price like may fragrances do. I hat that so many are only selling 50 ml bottles which make you feel like it is half sed when you get it then multiply the shipping cost if applicable.

    The thing with Gucci Elixir is that it has an unbeatable performance, is heavy sweet floral - musky, opens with amber and leathery notes, and is sensual and enriched with vanilla-nutmeg, but it doesn’t change so much, which is annoying. It has nothing to do with Reflection Man, which is way more pleasant to wear.
    Gucci Elixir is not versatile, is a pure cold-weather scent for very specific occasions. The price, also considering the bottle and presentation, is too high. Finally, it doesn’t scream masculinity. I had to wash it off my hand..

    Can you answer this for me? I have watched many fragrance reviewers over the past year. How do you guys know what each note or ingredient smells like? Did you learn from another fragrance reviewer in person, or is it self taught? I know what I like but I couldn't tell you the ingredients other than reading the marketing material. Or is it like wine tasting, depends on what each person feels and tastes?

    • @ScentTrail
      @ScentTrail  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      The short answer is; I grew up on a farm in Europe. I was exposed to many fragrant flowers and grasses where I lived. I've always
      loved my sense of smell. Over time much like wine one can pick out some notes....or at least I'd like to think so. Of course having a collection of more then a 1000 fragrances and interacting with them daily helps to get to know the simpler notes. I also read books on fragrances, perfumes, Perfumers etc.
      I am sirtenly no professional but I enjoy fragrances very much. Thanks for asking and thank you for watching .

    I would say like this. If you can not find reflection man batch before 2020, when they watered it down completely just go for gucci guilty elixir. Reflection man is still great fragrance but performance of the new batches are not up to the price. Also, gucci guilty elixir leans more unisex as well with that vanilla opening. Also quentin bisch is way better parfumer than lucas siuezac will ever be, and gucci guilty elixir is way way more creative fragrance than reflection man in general, but reflection man is more versatile and better all year round. Up to you to choose
