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.
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.
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.
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
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
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 !!!
I LOVE the Guilty collection. It doesn't have great silliage or projection, but it's been my favorite for the last 10 years or so. Just ordered this. Hope I like it.
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.
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
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
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!!
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 🙃
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
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!
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 😊
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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)
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
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
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.
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.
Ash has so many elixirs, he is a wizard at this point.
Haha a scent wizard

An Elixir a day, keeps the doctor away.

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
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
You know he liked it when it’s obvious how much fun he had describing how it smells lol
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.
Now lets get a Top 10 Elixir list. Jokes aside I'm interested in seeing how this smells.

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
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
Fragrance review doesn't start till 4:27. Wow.
It's so annoying, he should put time stamps
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 !!!
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
This is absolutely in my top 5 now. I love it!!
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
I LOVE the Guilty collection. It doesn't have great silliage or projection, but it's been my favorite for the last 10 years or so. Just ordered this. Hope I like it.
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
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
Smelled it for the first time at Macy's the other day. Was immediately reminded of The Most Wanted Parfum.
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.
If it's on the reflection man or darley angle sounds like a banger

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"
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.
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
@@thegreatneessI doubt Hermes and Chanel will have Elixir fragrances.
Bleu de chanel Exclusif, not elixir
The One Elixir

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 🤣

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.

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
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 😊
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
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
I lovvvvvvvvvve this fragrance but I haven’t been able to find it on any discounters ever since it released.
just picked it up at Macy's today and love it, thanks for the review
This thing rocks, but man is it expensive! Picked it up yesterday and it’s a beast.
Smells like pdm Pegasus exclusive or Pegasus itself not sure I don’t have it but from memories… what do you think?
Definitely
Just bought this Friday. I can pick it up from Macys today
what would a "stronger with you elixir" smell like?
Considering how strong and sweet intensely is, it would be nuclear
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
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.
Niche quality but easy to wear. Amazing 😍
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
Don't forget Azzaro PH Elixir, which was one of the first (before Dior) 😀
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
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.
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.
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.
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 🎉🎉
Flexin with the Envy 😂😢 I want some more!
Armani profundo vs gucci exlir?? What smells better
ash can u do ur top 10 elixirs tnx
it's a smoother vintage joop with white musks in the base
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
It’s got that Joop vibe to me.
Better newer but something about it Bengay kinda cough syrup smell but addicting.
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.
I'm liking the fact you have a bottle of YSL M7 next the Drakkar Noir 👌
How about everything Elixir 😮
Can’t find this on any websites 😢😢😢 only macy too expense brhahhh gents scent pls give meh Juan plz
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 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)
That studio looks awesome
Got it Sunday, and fell head over heels for it.
I like this one. Sweet and warm.
How close is it to Altamir from Ted Lapidus??
The One Punch reference made my heart happy 😂
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.
Gucci Envy was one of the most incredible colognes ever.I cannot believe it was discontinued!
I actually like you big bro. I’m subscribing right now
I'd prefer an Eros Flame Elixir to an Eros Elixir.
No
What is an elixir, what’s the difference between an aftershave?
I think this stuff is fire 🔥
So when are you and or Chelsea going to do a elixir rank video?
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
How does it compare to Envy? 😊
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
i don't know anything abut colognes, but I like this one... for some reason it reminds me of root beer smell
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
The bottle is giving me Gucci Envy vibes. Not sure about the juice as I never smelt Envy
Wait. There is a CDNIM elixir?
Hmm there's CDNIM Urban Man Elixir
@@MahadiHasan005 right. Didn't recognize the bottle. Thanks.
CDN Urban Man Elixir
I was wondering the same thing, but that was the regular intense man bottle (I think) which isn't an Elixar
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.
Reminds me a little of boadicea the victorious valiant
If you guys like Amouage Reflection Man then you will like Guilty Elixir…very similar but I think it’s redundant to have it
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.
Where is this available?
Smells like Jacques Bogart Silver Scent INTENSE
Great video Ash! 🤘
Tested amouge reflection man yesterday at Bloomingdale. Didn't like it at all.
Amouage are very hit and miss in terms of their reception, though I am a fan of Reflection Man, got some samples a while back and wore it consistently
@qualichor1222 yeah mostly. I have interlude black iris and I love it. Def different
Reflection man is a feminine leaning, strange smelling fragrance. I don't like it either.
I love it
Me neither. Havent liked Interlude either
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
15% off right now at Macy's and if you apply for their credit card, I think you get something off on your statement
This smells amazing!!!!
Great review ash 🙌🏻
Does anyone of you guys know a dupe for this Gucci?
Reminds me so much of Prada lhomme instense
I get LeMale vibes, but from 1995. Super powerful and lasting. Just like the original LeMale.
When is Silver Scent coming out with an Elixir....lol
Saw this at Dillards in August but I failed to ask for a sniff 😢
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.
When i can i shall be getting this one i think I've got more gucci fragrances than any other brand
