Which Should You Buy?
A gorgeous, resonant elixir that's a true hidden gem. It's a shame it's so hard to find, because this twist on 1872 is a unique, characterful stunner that leaves a lasting impression.
This one's a bit of an odd duck - some reckon it's a 'more clinical' take on the original Guilty, others find it a 'cozy' scent, but with poor projection. It's divisive, but for those who love it, it's a signature, almost 'grey and lace-y' experience.

Occasions
Its impressive persistence and sillage make it better suited for evenings or formal events, though its unique character allows it to shine in more casual settings too. The floral and woody accords prevent it from being overwhelming in an office, but it truly excels when making a statement.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'clean' feel make it suitable for office wear, while its 'cozy' subtle nature lends itself well to casual settings. The 'clinical' undertone some detect might make it less ideal for formal occasions where a richer scent is often preferred.
