Alleged

The Finery line as a whole is a pretty good value. I bought like 6 at once because they were buy one get one during a huge sale at target. This is one of the best for sure. Damn near spot on from the few times I’ve smelled Guilty Black. Longevity is decent at best unless you spray quite a bit, then you can get some good performance and really good projection and sillage. I’m not a big fan of the aesthetics though. The bottle quality is nice but the look is just not great. Shallow I know.

I wasn’t expecting much from a $30 cologne, but Finery Alleged surprised me. It’s clean and fresh with a nice woody vibe that isn’t overpowering. Feels like something you can wear anytime without smelling like you tried too hard. The scent sticks around decently for the price, making it an easy grab if you want a solid everyday cologne without breaking the bank.

This smells just like Gucci guilty black. I bought it at target after smelling it on the shelf and being extremely pleased. I wet this a lot in the summer and in the office/gym. Very fresh smelling. I smelled guilty black after I wore this a handful of time and could tell no difference

Great deal for the price, very close dupe (a little better in my opinion) and actually lasts longer than Gucci Guilty Black

Absolutely great if you're on a budget. This was my signature scent for a while and even after I expanded my collection to other fragrances I still make a point to wear this one from time to time. I haven't smelled the original they're attempting to clone here, but on its own merits Alleged is a lightly sweet, delightfully green, inoffensive and decently long-lasting unisex perfume. To me it smells like fresh green plants you'd find close to the ground, a little wood, and patchouli. It's not the most complex formulation, but it's done well. And I really think you could wear this anywhere, any time of year, and any time of day. For $30 at your local Target I simply cannot complain!

This men's offering is both compelling, but rather simple. In all honesty, I don't even smell a true patchouli note within this. It's an impressively *clean* patchouli (if that is what it is), but it smells almost like a sort of evergreen. Fir or spruce needles can be gently astringent, clean and uplifting. There's a subtle sweetness underneath too (but a natural sweetness, not a contrived/sugary kind). This fragrance isn't exactly that, but it's somewhat adjacent to it. At any rate, it doesn't smell like a pungent patchouli (which I love sometimes, so that's not a negative). It's gentle greenery with mellow, indistinct herbs.

This is honestly a great cheap alternative to the Gucci Guilty scent. It’s difficult to describe any of the notes in this fragrance other than that it smells green. Longevity is decent at about 7 hours. Funnily enough I actually prefer this scent to Gucci Guilty Essence as I find that fragrance to be a bit too strong. Fine'ry Alleged is a perfect balance. Although the Gucci Guilty DNA isn’t my favorite, this fragrance made me reconsider for a bit, which is commendable. 8/10

I own both this and Gucci Guilty Parfum. This is not a bad scent, but there is a noticeable quality drop off compared to the Gucci alternative. My girlfriend and I love the Gucci Guilty, and this just smells like a low end clone. Don't get me wrong, it's a great deal at $30 compared to the high price of Gucci, but if you can afford the real deal, get it.

Safe scent nothing extraordinary, Budget friendly, stays on for about an hour or two, It's a good beginner smell

Smells very familiar, like a antiperspirant, shower gel or shaving gel you smelled before. I only smelled Gucci Guilty Black once a very long time ago, so I don't remember if it's similar. It kinda smells like chanel allure homme sport 2004, but without the orange and more greenish scent. It definitely smells like something from 20 years ago. It is a versatile scent for any weather. Smells mature though, definitely not a teenage scent. Performance pretty good the first hour and at about 4 hours you'd have to reapply.

I wanted desperately to like this on skin. The little scratch and sniff was glued to my nose in the store. I just cannot stand patchouli with my skin chemistry. It just sours somehow. If you like more tart notes this is amazing. Great sillage, lasts a long time. I’ll be seeing if it rocks on my girlfriend, if it does not then I might just keep it as an air freshener haha Although, it does make me think of axe a little. Like a more expensive version.
