It’s lilac season, I’ve been outside and running around all day, I’m wearing this soapy lilac concoction called Gucci Guilty Pour Femme (edp). It opens with the smell of candied violets, evolves into a lilac bush, and ends with clean soapy musks that seem to project when mixed with body heat. The effect is somewhat old-world but surprisingly fresh. This is a polished, dressed up, work-safe scent, so ironically, I reach for it when I’m scrubby, running around, hair in a messy bun, eating Chinese take-out from the container, but it hits, and that’s all that counts.
