Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guilty EDP
A lush, multifaceted floral that balances creamy lilac and powdery violet with a zesty citrus spark and a sensual, ambery base. Gucci Guilty Eau de Parfum is both assertive and romantic, perfect for women who want a bold yet refined signature.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.040 Guilty EDP
No.040 follows Gucci Guilty's spicy-floral formula - mandarin and pink pepper over lilac, geranium and peach, finishing on patchouli and amber. It's a consistent, recognisable take according to buyers, though it runs a shade sweeter and less complex than the original's sharper pink-pepper bite.

Season and Occasion Fit

Guilty

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Its lush florals and subtle citrus are ideal for spring and fall, but the amber and patchouli warmth also carry well into cooler months. Summer wear is possible thanks to the lively citrus and fresh spicy opening, though its powdery richness is not the best fit for extreme heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

The floral and powdery heart is inviting for dates and social occasions, while moderate projection and elegant freshness make it office-appropriate. Its sensual warmth is less suited to sporty or highly formal black-tie events.
