Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Homme EDP
Gucci’s Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Homme is a decadent, modern vanilla-amber floral that wears its intensity proudly. Unapologetically bold and enveloping, this is a fragrance for making statements and lasting memories.

Our Verdict - Ultraviolet EDP
This Y2K classic is divisive by design. Ultraviolet is not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' swear by its unique violet-pepper-apricot blend for a truly unforgettable scent. Just watch out for that dodgy atomizer.

Season and Occasion Fit

Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Homme

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The warm, resinous vanilla-amber base and rich florals make this ideal for fall and winter, yet the citrus-floral top and powdery iris allow it to work in spring's milder weather. It may feel too heavy for hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

The bold projection and luxurious, sensual profile make this perfect for dates and dressed-up evening events, while its smoothness allows stylish daytime or casual wear. Too rich and assertive for sport or very discreet office settings.

Ultraviolet

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, but perfect for making a statement on a night out or during casual events. While some find it too strong for formal settings, its unique character works well for those wanting to stand out.
