Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fleur de Chine

A truly gorgeous, multifaceted floral that evokes classicism without feeling dated. Its unfortunate discontinuation makes it a sought-after gem for those who appreciate timeless elegance with a modern twist.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Gold

Guess Gold is a divisive scent - some find it a sexy, warm budget gem reminiscent of Chanel Chance, others reckon it's a cheap, synthetic mess, best suited for a bloke's deodorant. Definitely try before you buy, it's not for everyone.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office

Its elegant floral and amber accords make it perfect for formal events and date nights, where its moderate sillage won't overwhelm. While some perceive a "clean" aspect, it's a bit too complex and luxurious for everyday casual wear, and definitely not suited for sport.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

With its strong projection and warm, sweet accords, Guess Gold is a bit much for the office but shines on dates, attracting compliments. While some found it casual, its potent nature and amber-woody drydown make it ill-suited for sports or highly formal settings.
