Guilty
This Guilty Eau de Parfum Gift Set is 117.10 euro, the more substantial of the two Guilty sets on the shop, and the version we hold here dates from 2019. At that price it is a main present rather than a stocking filler, and it suits someone who already wears Guilty and would be glad to be properly restocked.
The scent is built in three clear stages. It starts with mandarin orange and bergamot together, one sweet and one sharp, and pink pepper over the top of them, dry and slightly prickly. That lasts a quarter of an hour at most. The middle is the heart of the thing: lilac first, cool and clean and faintly soapy, then rose with real body to it and violet adding a powdery sweetness, with geranium threading through and giving the whole middle a green bite that keeps it crisp. The end is simpler and lasts longest, patchouli dark and earthy with amber glowing warm behind it, settling into something smooth and resinous that stays close rather than filling a room.
Two sprays is the right amount at this strength. It carries well through long days and does not fall apart in the heat, so it is not a winter only buy. Being the larger of the two sets, it is the better choice when you want the gift to look generous when it is opened, and the better value per millilitre if the person is going to get through it.
Gucci was founded in Florence in 1921 by Guccio Gucci, first as a maker of leather goods and luggage, then of the equestrian inspired pieces that still define its look, the loafer, and eventually clothing. It belongs to Kering. The beauty and fragrance business has always sat with outside licensees rather than being made by Gucci itself.
