042 Guilty

Name: 042 Guilty Eau de Parfum
Brand: Blossom Perfumery
Availability: InStock

Blossom Perfumery 042 Guilty is an Eau de Parfum. 042 Guilty opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, Lilac, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Blossom Perfumery's 042 Guilty carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

No. 042 follows Gucci Guilty's mandarin-pink pepper-peach-jasmine template closely on paper, delivering a bright, fruity-floral opening similar to the original, but with a simpler patchouli-amber base that lacks Guilty's smoother, more polished sillage and staying power.

About

Gucci Guilty's mix of mandarin, pink pepper and bergamot opening onto a peachy, black-currant-tinged floral heart and a patchouli-amber base is a fairly distinctive formula, and No. 042 tracks it closely. The top notes give a citrusy, spicy lift that echoes Guilty's confident opening reasonably well. The heart layers geranium, peach, lilac, black currant and jasmine for a fruity-floral bouquet that captures the mood of the original, if a little brasher and less seamlessly blended. The base settles into patchouli and amber with a touch of vanilla and musk, giving a warm, sensual finish that gets close to Guilty's signature without matching its smoothness. It is a reasonably faithful, budget take on the mandarin-peach-patchouli identity that made Guilty a bestseller, best suited to those wanting the general vibe for going out rather than an exact substitute, since projection fades from strong to soft within four hours or so.
