Guess 1981 for Men

The name of this would suggest something wholly other to anyone told this is a woody chypre. It's thoroughly modern but, as someone who usually says as much with a pejorative tone, I actually love it. I shouldn't. I don't like freshies. I'm no fan of aquatics. I love this. It's so much cozier than typical offerings in the backrooms short-nap, grey-carpeted NPC bazaar of freshies, aquatics, and other florescent hum, office safe liminal scents. It does, however, remain liminal. Part new car. Part new construction public restroom. Part laundry room. Part doctor's office. But all entirely in a very pleasant way that still somehow manages to smuggle the airy husk of a chypre skeleton through the liminality, like a dead body wrapped in hotel casino carpet. It opens pure gin and tonic, as if the cedar planted a face hugger egg in the violet leaf and produced a juniper chest burster. Regardless, the strong, but fleeting citrus of the bergamot, pairs with that strange juniper quality and becomes a beautiful gin and tonic to say hello with. It builds from there into a strong violet leaf and ambergris aromatic aquatic wrapped around the faint whisp of resin, mossy wood, and a leather reminiscent of a new handbag, not dissimilar to a TFOL dupe. Really beautiful and satisfying, even if it seems like more of a quotation of a chypre than a true chypre. I really, really like this and I expect I may wear it a lot in the summer, although I find it to be a man for all seasons without a doubt. Not the best performer, but affordable enough to bomb yourself and your clothes with. So why complain?

Performance is lacking a bit, but you can get it for a song, and this little guy is actually pretty frickin good! Skews a bit mature, reminds me a bit of the Lalique Pour Homme line. I hadn't seen any reviews so I wasn't expecting much when I bought it second-hand for 8 bucks, but was really surprised! I'm starting to appreciate Guess a bit more for their fragrances after this and Seductive Homme Noir. Considering they can be often found at Ross, TJ Maxx, and the like, definitely worth the 20 bucks they can be found for. I've bought a lot worse for a lot more money, that's for sure!

Smells like nettle garden under a few cedar trees , infused with very realistic church incense , calm, sober, manly and intelligent . Austere and introspective. Nothing unisex , according to some votes.Very unique smell, somehow hypnotic . On me lasts 12 hours easily with 4/5 spritz - multi season and classic , even slightly futuristic .The bottle is simple but well made and looks beautiful , resembling some niche frags or classic apotheke glasses. with band like label on them . For 18 euro /100 ml this is great.

A predominately amber and violet perfume. Some background leather and woods too. It's very smooth and well put together. Reminds me a lot of Bentley Infinite Intense. Performance overall is moderate, the dry down is a mellow and smooth amber. Definitely a love from me - this stuff is really nice. I've just bought a second bottle. The price is great and this stuff is a gem.

Got sample of Mojave Ghost. While I think they share a few notes, they are pretty different especially in the dry down, IMO, enough that someone could love one and not the other. I like them both.
