Does this smell similar to the men's version of Guilty Absolute?+−
While they share a bold, unconventional DNA and a focus on woody notes, the pour Femme version introduces blackberry and rose to soften the medicinal leather qualities found in the pour Homme. They are thematic siblings rather than clones.
Is this a very sweet, "girly" fruity fragrance?+−
No. Unlike many fruity florals, this is tart and woody. The blackberry provides a dark fruitiness, but the lack of heavy sugar and the addition of cypress and patchouli make it feel sophisticated and gender-neutral.
For what occasions should I wear this?+−
It is most at home during the evening or for casual leisure wear in cool weather. Because of its "chunky sweater" vibe and depth, it excels in fall and winter.
How does the fragrance change over time after I spray it?+−
This scent is known for being linear. You will not experience a drastic shift from top notes to base notes; instead, the blackberry, rose, and woody notes emerge together and simply soften and become more "golden" as the day progresses.
