The review
On paper, Dark Guilt is a reasonable bet if you want Gucci Guilty for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gucci Guilty's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 it costs 65% less than Gucci Guilty.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on mandarin orange and pink pepper, turns to peach, lilac and geranium, and settles into patchouli and amber. That is the brief Dark Guilt is working from.

Juicy peach smeared over dark patchouli; the fragrance that turned Guilty into a whole aisle.
