What do reviewers say about Au The Noir and Gucci Guilty Absolute?
Starts as smoky black tea. Ends as dark leather, rose, and oud. Not many smoky fragrances pull this off, Au Thé Noir wears it close and refined. For those who like their depth with a pulse.Au The Noir
Gucci Guilty Absolute is not interested in subtlety. The leather note hits immediately and stays, linearly, without apology. Alberto Morillas built something that challenges conventional fragrance.Gucci Guilty Absolute
