Guilty- Gucci

On my recent trip to England, I stopped by Lilly's (my cousin's on my father's side) house in Bristol. I practically travelled from Newcastle (North-near Edinburgh) all the way to Bristol (South- near Wales) on a train in a bad snowy weather. Lilly bought me the Gucci Guilty (£47 ish) perfume along with PapaRoach's Dunhill London (£30+) perfume with a 15% discount from Debenhams on my last day in Bristol.

I actually wanted the DKNY Be Delicious perfume but Lilly kept saying in her English slang "No, no, take the Gucci, take the Gucci". So, I got the Gucci.

Figure 1: Guilty by Gucci

Here goes. The locally "approved" version of the perfume ad shown on our local tv channel left me all confused and thinks "What a crappy commercial for Gucci standard". With Evan Rachel Wood driving a car in Paris and getting out off the car and staring lustily and daydreaming at something and CUT! That's it!


"?? That's it?? What the..??"


I finally get it after watching the complete commercial while I was there. And since I like True Blood so much, I really tried hard to make me love or at least like the scent. I even sprayed it on me before I went to bed to unconsciously hypnotize myself to liking the perfume. I don't want to seem ungrateful. I tried. "My Women Stuff" said that it is better suited for a night out. So I tried it again on Valentine's Night dinner with the Pangs wearing my oversize t-shirt with huge red heart in front. I don't mean to be dramatic but I almost threw up in the car on the way over. No help with the car being so bouncy (double cabin). I just wanted to roll the window down and I think that Pangko even developed runny nose due to the strong smell. Even cousin Una commented on the scent and not in a good way. Maybe I didn't wear a sexier outfit but that is it. Enough of my experiments. It has to go!!


I don't know how to describe the scent. Is it musky? All I know is that it is too strong and I'm already thinking of posting it to MamaRoach. I've mentioned the perfume to her during Chinese New Year and she said that she'll take it off of my hands. Problem solved and befitting that both MamaRoach and PapaRoach got a perfume each from cousin Lilly.


The bottle itself is a shocking gold. It might look elegant and expensive, but I left a lot of unsightly fingerprints all over the gold colored bottle. If I ever was going to be framed as a murderer, the bottle will be an excellent evidence to be planted in the crime scene to convict me. And the bottle will point at me and scream "GUILTY!!!" I had to remember to wipe off all the prints before posting it over to MamaRoach.
