Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - BLK EDP
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Gucci's Guilty Black Pour Homme (2013) - the Aurelien Guichard violet leaf-lavender-patchouli masculine flanker to Guilty, here translated into a coriander-lavender opening over violet leaf and a patchouli-cedar close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime and evening masculine wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Our Verdict - Cedre Blanc EDP
Cedre Blanc is a beautiful, understated scent that's often overlooked. It's clean, fresh, and exceptionally natural, but don't expect a powerhouse; its subtlety means you'll need to spray generously to catch its full, fleeting beauty.

Season and Occasion Fit

BLK

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Aromatic-violet-patchouli structure works spring through autumn with autumn strongest; winter softer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Formal

Modern aromatic-patchouli masculine fits office, date, casual, formal. Less suited to sport.

Cedre Blanc

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its light, clean, and inoffensive profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear, though its subtle projection means it's not the best for making a grand statement. The fresh woody and floral accords lend themselves well to everyday scenarios, even if its performance is often noted as mild.
