Aurélien Guichard and the Gucci Guilty woman
Aurélien Guichard represents the 7th generation of perfumers in the Guichard family. One could say he was born in a perfume bottle! Aurélien Guichard works for the company Givaudan and is regarded as a sensitive and generous perfumer, who sees his craft as his life. On this subject, he states the perfumer's craft is a craft of expression, one works on the olfactory expression of a house, of a universe… The more freedom the perfumer has, the more he is able to express himself…. According to his father, Jean Guichard, also a perfumer, “Gucci Guilty” is the finest fragrance Aurélien has ever composed. He states Gucci Guilty is a complex and contemporary fragrance. Its fruity side makes it very recognizable. Aurélien Guichard is responsible for numerous fragrances, such as “For Her, l'Eau” by Narciso Rodriguez, “Just Rock pour Him” by Zadig & Voltaire, and “Pleats Please” by Issey Miyake.
Gucci Guilty and its seductive fragrant notes
“Gucci Guilty” opens with a contrast, the pairing of mandarin and pink pepper, thereby asserting its character. Also called “false pepper” or “rose berries,” pink pepper comes from Réunion Island, Madagascar, South America and Brazil. Pink pepper is the fruit of a large tree. Its berries hang in clusters, and when ripe, they turn a bright pink color. It is the distillation of the rose berries that yields an essential oil. Pink pepper gives off scents that are both sweet, sugary, spicy and warm. The heart of “Gucci Guilty” is both floral and fruity, combining lilac, geranium and peach. A flower that represents the eighth wedding anniversary and a symbol of the State of New Hampshire (United States), lilac heralds spring. There are about thirty varieties of lilac, which allows for different colors, white, purple, pink, or even blue. In perfumery, lilac is a mute flower, meaning that no essential oil can be extracted from it. Lilac is therefore recreated in the laboratory, mainly through the headspace technique, and gives off floral, balsamic tonalities, sometimes close to those of lily of the valley. Finally, the base of “Gucci Guilty” represents seduction in its purest form, pairing amber with patchouli. As for the bottle, it is equally magnetic, resulting from a blend of gold and glass, which lends a final touch of power to the whole fragrance.
