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 - Special Evening EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable answer to Delicious Night, trading the original's plush, resinous depth for a lighter, skin-close version of the same fruity-floral-to-smoky-amber arc. The bones are all here - blackberry and freesia up top, an iris-jasmine heart, incense and patchouli below - just rendered flatter and softer.

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.

Special Evening

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The smoky amber and incense base is built for cooler autumn and winter wear, where its resinous warmth blooms; summer heat would flatten it.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Named for the evening and built like it - the dark, sensual drydown suits dates, formal nights out and after-dark occasions over daytime wear.
