Despite the Elixir tsunami that was 2023 I must admit that I’m quite excited to put my nose on this one. The notes in this one are straight up my alley! Unfortunately couldn’t find it in stores yet. Thanks for the review! :)
Did you pick this up at the airport in the UK? The Elixir Pour Homme is currently $156 with the 15% discount and $183 without at Macy's for the 60 ml, so your £80/$97 (using the current 9/27/2023 exchange rate) price less $15 discount was a bargain. While the website just lists a few notes, both Fragrantica and Basenotes list orange blossom. Fragrantica members currently give it a low overall rating but very good longevity and sillage numbers. Head:rose, chili pepper Heart: orange blossom, neroli, french lavender Base: patchouli, cedarwood
Both perfumes are very similar to other existing ones, the men's perfume is in line with Reflection man by Amouage and Le Male by Gaultier and the feminine one is an almost repetition of Gucci Guilty absolute by Femme.
I wasn't sure what to think about it. Quentin Bisch has a style and once you own one, you've tried them all. However, I finally gave it a shot and really was surprised by it. It's like Pegasus/Reflection Man/Le Male had a baby together. I love each of the aforementioned fragrances, and definitely love this one. The longevity is fantastic, and the overall DNA is impactful. Glad I gave it a chance.
I’m looking forward to trying this one, a lot of people smell a little bit of Reflection Man in it. Anything created by Bisch I definitely want to try, he usually has some pretty creative fragrances.
I bought that cologne and it smells for me like another cologne did I have is Valentino born of Roma I don't know if I'm saying it right but the date that I bought it I was wearing Valentina and it smells similar I do not know if I'm going crazy
I find Gucci Guilty Elixir Pour Homme to be sophisticated, highly polished powdery, slightly soapy fragrance that is well balanced ans smells fantastic ! Its bottle is... uhmmm... well... both in size, shape and colour !
To me the elixer pour femme smells similar to Angel elixer an Donna Born in Rome intense. Not a scentprofile that is pleasing to my nose. But it is well made
Only this week I could smell the Pour Homme version, and only now went through some video reviews. Indeed connected to the Le Male smell, which was surprising for me. But it's creamier, denser, and "soft-leatherier." To me very addictive. The most intriguing and best elixir of this year for me. I prefer this to Boss Elixir and Le Male Elixir, which were my top 2023 elixirs before. Tester for the female's version was already empty, haven't been able to smell that one yet.
I didn't know they were dropping fragrances. I have the GG absolu and I like it. It's like a sweet woody fragrances to me. I mixed it with YSL opium to sweeten it up. I normally like gourmand fragrances.
It’s Available at Macys and cost is 183 $ but now they have VIP promo with 15% discount which bring the price down to 155 $. To me it smelled like middle eastern perfume….. I may have to go back and smell it again to see if I like it.
I know you said you were not going to review anymore Zara reviews for awhile BUT, would you consider reviewing the new Vanilla collection they just released? Please!!! LoL. I just value your opinion so much and there are a lot of reviews already out..and they are very mixed. Thank you Sebastian!
I suspect you're getting 'Le Male' vibes because many people are comparing this fragrance to Reflection Man by Amouage, and that fragrance gets compared to 'Le Male' quite often.
What age range do you think the Gucci guilty elixir for woman would fall in? I used to like the original guilty but when they re-released it, the only thing going for it was the gorgeous bottle. The scent itself amped up the baby powder and was just way too mature/dated. I wish they had amped up the peach and violet instead.
@@joesmellsgood Oh really? I prefer this to Bleu Electrique but find it quite sickly. Might be the cardamom. Kenzo Homme EDP by Quentin Bisch is much better!

I became obsessed with this fragrance, I got for myself 3 days ago
I just got both as birthday gifts!! I’m very pleased with longevity and projection. I will say that I surprisingly prefer the “mens” version
I sprayed the purple one on my jacket two days ago in Macys and my jacket still smells like it. I'm in love!
There is a lot of orange blossom for sure (men's version). I like it a lot. For me it's an excellent release.
I've just tried Mancera Intense Red Tobacco and I like it more than the original because it smells more rounded, less sharp.🌹
Oooooh, this is good to know, as I really like the original.
I’ll stick with ARGOS TOB
Sebastien - you look flawless! 🤩

I smelled them in Italy. I completely loved the female version but the green men one was a no for me.

I believe this and Le Male are the only ones I want to try. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!

321 BGN in Bulgaria 164 euro on Notino for the Pour Homme
I knew you’d like it…
I loved it at first sniff & bought it at the Gucci Boutique in Saks 5th Ave Manhattan for $180
The men’s one is like Givenchy Pi and Balenciaga Cristobal Pour Homme
So odd, the Gucci website says they are both an eau de parfum.
It smells good, and yeah. Different from the other guilties
I sprayed it at the airport. Liked it so much and more and more specially when it gets dry on my skin.

Been 17 hours and still smell it of my skin. I like the pour homme. Does remind me of amouage reflection
I best get this type of performance
It also reminds me a lot of PDM Pegasus
I love the lady's version
I can see this being a favorite of many.
@@ThePerfumeGuy as a man i like the lady's version too, but im not sure if it will take my masculine vibe if i wear it! what do you think?
First snif reminds me of Guerlain Insolance....because of the violet i think...
I prefer to wear the men’s version.
Been very curious about these. I'll have to try them. 💫💞

Tester for the female's version was already empty, haven't been able to smell that one yet.
Ooh. Hmm. I love the This would be Top 3 with those other two. Let's see when I do my video! :)
A variation of reflection man
Question: have you reviewed Bond No. 9? I will not buy it unless you have reviewed it!
I didn't know they were dropping fragrances. I have the GG absolu and I like it. It's like a sweet woody fragrances to me. I mixed it with YSL opium to sweeten it up. I normally like gourmand fragrances.
I got the medicinal vibe too reminds me of a modern Joop.
It’s Available at Macys and cost is 183 $ but now they have VIP promo with 15% discount which bring the price down to 155 $. To me it smelled like middle eastern perfume….. I may have to go back and smell it again to see if I like it.
The price differential between his £80/$97 (using the current 9/27/2023 exchange rate) price less $15 discount is tremendous!
The homme smells very unisex to me as well
Smells like Jacques Bogart Silver Scent INTENSE

Is it just me or similar to amouage reflection ?
I’m a man but prefer pour femme better. Very nice for both. ❤
Quanto tempo de fixação cada um? Duração?
Very familiar ! YSL Manifesto
Hi Sebastian, Would you recommend Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour femme or Gucci Guilty Elixir Pour Femme? Thank you!
Reflection 45 … that’s how the elixer pour homme smells
Any names of the new Zara ones
I suspect you're getting 'Le Male' vibes because many people are comparing this fragrance to Reflection Man by Amouage, and that fragrance gets compared to 'Le Male' quite often.
so PH is not a re creation of the beloved Envy for Men??? oh 😥 i hoped for it
Best chanel les exclusive to boy 23age ???
Try Boy Chanel or Sycomore but the Chanel collection might be a bit mature!
@@ThePerfumeGuy thank you

Any age
It smells like gaultier 2 power of 2
GG Elixar smells like Reflection man to me
`yes', you DO look soo much better M I N U S you cap.
Can’t help but think of JPG Scandal smelling this.
Smells absolutely nothing like that at all
You're smelling Bleu Electrique from YSL
Naaaah
@@Cybertek52 all I get is Cardamom. I'd have to do em side by side, but both are overwhelming in that sense
@@joesmellsgood Oh really? I prefer this to Bleu Electrique but find it quite sickly. Might be the cardamom. Kenzo Homme EDP by Quentin Bisch is much better!
Bomb
It smells like Amouage Reflection
Gautier ²
Another perfume for soft wrists
Anybody else tired of flankers of flankers of flankers?
Gucci perfumes are so patchouli heavy to me. Suffocating
