Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Femme EDP
A lush, modern vanilla-floral that radiates confidence and sensuality. Not for the shy, this is a statement scent with creamy depth, vivid powdery florals, and a seductive, ambery undertone that lingers long after you leave the room.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 388 The Only One EDP
No. 388 follows Dolce & Gabbana's The Only One coffee-caramel-floral template closely, but the rose and iris heart is quieter and the vanilla-caramel base sweetens faster, giving a simpler, less powdery result that fades sooner than the original.
