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 - 084 Guilty EDP
Captures Guilty's pink-pepper-to-patchouli arc reasonably well, though the floral heart reads simpler and the patchouli-amber base less refined than the original.

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.

084 Guilty

Seasons

Spring Autumn

A versatile floral-fruity amber that works across most of the year, strongest in spring and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Suits dates and casual outings well, with enough polish to stretch to smart occasions.
