Our Verdict - Inspired by Guilty Black
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.

Its clean, fresh aromatic profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear. The moderate sillage and longevity prevent it from being overbearing, though stronger performance would make it less ideal for formal settings.
