Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gucci Guilty Black Pour Homme EDT
This one's a proper mixed bag. Some reckon it's a perfectly pleasant, easy-to-wear freshie, while others find it generic and sorely lacking in performance. If you want a green, soapy scent, it'll do the job for an hour or so.

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Gucci Guilty Black Pour Homme

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, inoffensive nature makes it suitable for office and casual wear, especially given its weaker performance. The lack of projection means it won't overpower on dates, but it's not impactful enough for formal settings. It's a good gym scent, as performance limitations mean it fades with your workout, rather than lingering too long.

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.
