Gucci Guilty Black Pour Homme Eau de Toilette vs 085 Plat. Egoist. Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper mixed bag. Some reckon it's a perfectly pleasant, easy-to-wear freshie, while others find it generic and sorely lacking in performance. If you want a green, soapy scent, it'll do the job for an hour or so.
085 rebuilds Chanel Platinum Égoïste's aromatic-woody frame - lavender-rosemary-neroli top, sage and jasmine heart, cedar-vetiver-oakmoss base - but flattens the original's cool, mineral edge into a warmer, more generic woody-aromatic scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, inoffensive nature makes it suitable for office and casual wear, especially given its weaker performance. The lack of projection means it won't overpower on dates, but it's not impactful enough for formal settings. It's a good gym scent, as performance limitations mean it fades with your workout, rather than lingering too long.
