Guilty Pour Homme is the newest award winning fragrance for men by Gucci. Being a huge fan of anything Gucci we were looking forward to testing out the newest scent from The House of Gucci.
Guilty Pour Homme is carefully designed for men who know what they want and who get what they want. Scene as a charismatic alpha male, a true magnet for ladies, is represented in this provocative and seductive composition. It is no wonder they picked Chris Evans (from Fantastic Four, and the highly-anticipated film Captain America: The First Avenger) to be the face of the fragrance.
Check out the Frank Miller (Dark Knight, 300, Sin City) directed Gucci video below:
The scent seizes hold of the senses with a heady cocktail of invigorating Italian lemon and mandarin with crushed green leaves – evocative of sap rising – and a defiant punch of pink pepper. Its middle motifs persuade like a whispered invitation. The herbal freshness of lavender coils around an aphrodisiac cardamom note – at once stimulating and entrancing – on an unexpectedly tender bed of orange flower and neroli. The patchouli that is the hallmark of all Gucci fragrances is married with cedar and sandal wood gleaming with amber to create a robustly earthy, yet suggestively exotic sensuality of a profound masculinity.
The bottle itself was crafted to have the look and feel of a flask with cold metal and heavy glass, making an impression of masculinity and luxury. Overall the Gucci Guilty was inspired by this classic Barbra Streisand album cover “A Star is Born” … I found to be very clever, see the ad resemblance!

Oh wow is it 5 o’clock already? Nope, it’s only 1pm and I’ve got more than a shadow all around my chin. It’s no question that my girlfriend prefers my clean-shaven face over sandpaper but it’s just tough to keep up sometimes. Now, I’m surely someone that likes to stay groomed but shaving almost every day can be annoying. I’ve even started using a woman’s Gillette Venus razor for some added smoothness because I’m just tired of all that friction . (Yes I’ve just admitted to using a woman’s razor on my face- the Venus team have already tweeted it anyways.) However, my eyes have been opened to a quick electric razor alternative when I received the Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D 1250.
I’ve never used an electric razor in my life because I was afraid of it irritating my skin. Sure you can use shaving gel, but I thought, why not just lather up and shave? Well the beautiful thing about the SensoTouch 3D is that you can get a close shave without the irritation because of its awesome features!
- GyroFlex 3D contour-following heads adjust seamlessly to every curve of your face, minimizing pressure and irritation on your skin.
- UltraTrack shaver heads catch every hair with just a few strokes because it has 3 specialized tracks: slots for normal hair; channels for long or flat laying hair; and holes for the shortest stubble on your face.
- Aquatec seal for comfortable dry & refreshing wet shaves
- Smooth, low-friction SkinGlide shaving surface to minimize irritation
I never knew my love for technology and gadgets would include electric razors. The SensoTouch is so simple to use with its easy grip handle, and a touch screen interface that displays remaining battery capacity and charging status! This is cooler than an iPhone and it even comes with a charger and a travel pouch!

Everyone loves those AXE “Boom-Chicka-Wah-Wah” commercials and even my girlfriend and her friends have always enjoyed the fragrances of AXE products. I’ve used AXE deodorant sprays before and have certainly received more compliments with the new Twist (though not exactly to the same effect as the commercials show). So it was exciting to do a review on the new AXE Twist and share with our readers a giveaway so their male significant others can try it too, or even use it themselves!
The great thing about AXE Twist is that you can’t really tell if it’s for HIM or for HER. It has a unisex feeling of a refreshing fragrance for the summer. The citrus and lime scent makes it great to use after a shower or for a quick pick-me-up during the day. The top note of fresh lime and citrus lasts about an hour, the middle note leaves a mild scent of the citrus, and it’s bottom earthy notes of cedar and sandalwood lasts after about 4 hours. It’s to no surprise that this new body spray is a hit because renowned fragrance designer, Ann Gottlieb (the nose behind popular fragrances such as OBSESSION, ETERNITY, and more), was involved in creating the new Twist. Oh and let’s not forget about the cool packaging! It has a twisty cap that easily swivels open and locks closed for a quick spray on the go!
AXE Twist is also available in Deodorant Bodyspray, Antiperspirant Stick, Deodorant Stick , and Shower Gel.
Here’s your chance to win your own set of AXE Twist for you or your man! The giveaway prize is a snazzy leather toiletry bag by Swiss Army that includes the AXE Twist Bodyspray and 2 AXE Twist Deodorants!
