Which Should You Buy?
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.
A budget interpretation of Gucci Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Homme, built on the same sweet orange-blossom-and-vanilla heart. It captures the warm, powdery oriental signature but renders the iris-and-benzoin drydown flatter and a touch more synthetic than the designer original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The sweet vanilla, benzoin and orange-blossom warmth bloom in cooler autumn and winter weather rather than summer heat.
Occasions
Its warm, sensual oriental character suits evenings, dates and formal occasions over office routine or sport.
