Which Should You Buy?
A crisp, aromatic woody fougere that balances fresh lavender and florals with a backbone of patchouli and cedar. Modern, quietly assertive, and refined, it is a versatile daily driver for the stylish man.
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
Seasons
The aromatic green-floral and woody structure makes it versatile for spring and fall, with enough freshness for summer evenings. It is less suited to winter's cold, as the projection and warmth are moderate, not enveloping.
Occasions
Its fresh woody-aromatic profile and moderate projection make it ideal for office and daily wear, while the clean florals and subtle spice lend confidence on dates. Less suited to sports or highly formal events due to restrained boldness.
Seasons
Aromatic-violet-patchouli structure works spring through autumn with autumn strongest; winter softer.
Occasions
Modern aromatic-patchouli masculine fits office, date, casual, formal. Less suited to sport.
