Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dot EDP
This one's a divisive little thing; people either love its youthful, fruity floral charm or dismiss it as generic and fleeting. It's a sweet, clean, inoffensive vibe for those who want a light, easy reach, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.
Favourite
Our Verdict - by Gucci EDP
A modern chypre that's either 'sexy, dark, unique' or 'masculine, nauseating, old-fashioned' depending on your batch and skin chemistry. Prepare for batch variation woes and enjoy if you get a good one.

Season and Occasion Fit

Dot

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile, coupled with often-reported moderate to low longevity and sillage, makes it ideal for office, casual, and even gym wear. It's not assertive enough for formal events or a truly impactful date night scent.

by Gucci

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its musky, honeyed patchouli makes it ideal for dates and evening events, offering a sensual yet sophisticated appeal. While some find it wearable in the office when applied lightly, others report it's too strong for professional settings.
