Inspired by Gucci Guilty - 572 (Oil Perfume)
Suitable For: Men
Format: Oil Perfume
Lavender and Patchouli, Modern and Not Fussy
Lavender opens it clean and aromatic, orange blossom softens the middle, and patchouli grounds the whole thing with a dry earthiness. It's a simple structure, and that's the point. Nothing competing, nothing shouting.
Confident everyday wear. Good for the office, good for a casual evening, and one of the more versatile things here.
Built to be worn at close range
This one isn't trying to fill a room, which is exactly why it works Monday to Friday. Somebody sitting across a desk from you gets it. The rest of the floor doesn't. If your workplace has ever had a conversation about someone's aftershave, this is the answer to that problem.
Why the oil outlasts the spray
Lavender is volatile and alcohol carries it off fast, which is why aromatic fragrances are usually the first to disappear by mid-morning. Oil releases slowly from the skin instead, so the lavender and patchouli are still there after lunch rather than being a memory of the drive in.
No alcohol also means nothing sharp on a freshly shaved neck.
Why 10ml is not a small bottle
Concentrated oil is a dab at the wrists and the base of the neck, not three or four sprays into the air. A 3ml gives around sixty wearings. The 10ml runs to roughly two hundred.
Never worn an oil before?
Start with the 3ml at £5.99. Dab it on, don't rub it in, and give it ten minutes before you decide. Oils open on the skin rather than in the air, so the first thirty seconds tell you almost nothing.
Alcohol-free and concentrated.
Want the spray anyway? The same blend is available as a parfum in 30ml and 50ml, from £9.99. See 572 Parfum →
