Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Promise EDP
Promise is a divisive, beast-mode rose and apple combo with an earthy, animalic kick that splits opinion. You'll either adore its bold, luxurious depth or find it overwhelmingly harsh and challenging.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Aqua Bacci EDP
Aqua Bacci matches Gucci Intense Oud's raspberry-saffron-rose-oud pairing well, capturing the fruity-floral lift that sets the original apart from more traditional, purely resinous oud fragrances.

Season and Occasion Fit

Promise

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Promise is a powerful scent with immense longevity and sillage, making it far too overwhelming for office environments but perfect for special occasions. Its luxurious, complex profile and beastly performance suit formal events and colder weather dates where it can truly shine.

Aqua Bacci

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Fruity-oud base with a resinous close is a cold-weather, evening fragrance more than a summer freshener.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

Sensual and distinctive character suits date nights and formal evenings over daytime casual wear.
