Guess 1981 Indigo for Men

This has been the fruity fig masculine fragrance I've been searching for since 2017. The blue color is extremely misleading. Indigo opens with abrasive green fig leaf with the fig fruit representing a faint coconut flesh accord. The cedar and musk are most noticeable after the fig note. Fig is unique in that its leaf smells extremely green - almost harsh. And the fig fruit flesh smells like coconut. This fragrance is entirely linear. What you get in the beginning has very little transition with the fig slightly bowing out to the cedar and musk. I don't get the coconut sun-tan vibe that are echoed through the reviews. I think it's cuz fig leaf and fresh fig fruit in their natural forms aren't common enough in the USA. The harshness of the green fig leaf is probably what recalls the chemical nature "suntan lotion" with the fig fruit hitting the "coconut" portion of suntan lotion. Five years ago in 2017, this was the fragrance I was looking for - a green tinged fig fruit dominated fragrance with a masculine slant . I was on a fig addiction as I had discovered Womanity 2 years prior and that was the fragrance that changed this fragrance game for me. Unfortunately, I wasn't successful ( blind buying Avon Aromadisiac, Demeter Fig, CK One Gold, even as recent as FCUK Friction Night Her... then sampling Philosykos, Sea Salt & Fig Old Navy, etc, ), I moved on. Coincidentally, Guess Indigo was released in 2017. I'm not sure why it never hit my radar considering Guess fragrances end up at my favorite bargain stores like Gordman's, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, etc. I'm glad to own it... I have a sneaking suspicion I will go through the entire 100ml bottle of this summer. I bought a gift set... I wear the deo spray to the gym... and the real thing elsewhere.

I find this intoxicating, but I didn't fall in love with it immediately. I've had this for about a year and while I would spray it once in a while, it never really felt like me until I put it on my skin on a hot summer's day. I think the reason why this perfume is hard to like is the opening - there is a bit of a 'dusty' quality to it and I can see why people quote 'wet concrete' or 'wet soil'. While there is an appeal to those smells to some, it's not something most people want to walk around smelling like (including me). The mistake I made was to spray this on clothes which made the opening last and last...But when I sprayed this on my skin and let it sit for 10 minutes, the dry down really started to shine. I could smell something herbaceous and very pleasant and fresh mixed with ripe fig (but not sweet!), perfectly supported by a pulpy coconut. On me however, the coconut is barely detectible, while the fig is very dominant along with the green notes. What radiates from the skin is a smooth herby fig and it has an intoxicating quality that makes me sniff myself again and again. This is marketed to men but I don't detect anything distinctly masculine that would make this hard to wear for a woman. If anything, I think perfumes that are marketed to the opposite gender usually reveal a slightly different faucets when interacting with a woman's or a man's skin chemistry. Not a safe blind for everyone, but if you like fig and don't mind a bit of greeness, I'd say that chances are you would enjoy it, but do yourself a service and test this on your skin!

Impressive release from Guess. Oh man.. this smells so good. I had a small sample given to me after buying a pair of jeans and i honestly wasnt expecting anything from a brand like guess given that their fragrances are often unimpressive. That sample was enough to convince me to order a full bottle. This smells incredibly fresh and addicting. I have over 150 bottles (including several niches) and i have never really smelled anything quite like it, so it is pretty unique i'll give it that. One of the rare scent that got my girlfriend asking what it was and I cant really see anyone not liking this. To me, I get a fresh, out of tue shower almost barbershop kind of sent, but with a unique twist. I think its the coconut mixing with the lavender, i definitely get those two notes at first spray. I would describe this as a all season, any situation versatile kind of scent since it does start smelling warmer at the base with the amber, musk, moss and tonka all present and giving it a sweeter vibe on the dry down, but it is still undeniably fresh so it would be a good summer scent too. I would say this has more of a mature vibe, but i could still see any age rocking this because of the unique elements (coconut, fig) i do not get much iris though. I cant comment yet on performance, but it seemed decent enough from the 3 wearings i had. Probably something you will have to respray after 4-5 hours if you want projection. I will update on performance when i grt my bottle and do some testing. So far i would definitely recommend to check it out.

I'm blown away by the Guess 1981 line so far. I bought Los Angeles first and loved it, but this one is breath-taking In two ways. By it's uniqueness. Nothing in my collection smells like this. This is a gem. One of a kind. Also by how well blended it is. I mean that as in the androgyny. A guy or a girl can rock this but I do think this requires a certain persona to pull off. It doesn't smell anything like Versace Blue Jeans but it's kind of in the same lane to me because it's so fresh and... Pure lol The coconut shines beautifully in this fragrance. I can see this being worn by someone in casual attire, light colors in the summer. It really smells good. I get a visual of an astrological event. Moon and Venus intertwined in an early fall morning. Everything is right, harmonious, sea salt baths, teenage hearts... Not that this can't be worn by an older gentleman, but because it's so light hearted, passionate, charmingly naive, and gentle. I love love love this. Will be buying a few more bottles just in case they want to discontinue this beautiful jewel in the future. I'm enamored by it But... I can see how alot of collectors and enthusiasts might not like this release. This fragrance is not for everyone. If you're drawn to this, and want to wear it, you may be just a little eccentric lol a bit of a floating gender, open minded or artistic. Regardless I think every collectir should own this for the sheer novelty

Cedar, Fig & Coconut an odd mixture SOTD: Guess 1981 Indigo for Men: As of 01/20/19 It was blind buy via Fragrancenet.com, It was recommended by Chad from A Gentleman's Journey YouTube channel, he mentioned that it was he's best blind buy bought for 2018, and I would agree. To my nose is a fresh and woody scent, I detect the fig, coconut, iris, lavender and musk. The fig, coconut and cedar is front and center, it can be sharp in the opening, but it tones down on the dry down. A solid release from Guess. Is a must have and a hidden gem Rating Scent: 8/10 Design/Presentation: 8/10 Value: 9/10 Longevity/Performance: 8/10: Lasted on my skin/skin scent around 10+ hrs Overall: 8/10 My SOTD (Scent of the Day): Guess 1981 Indigo for Men: As of 02/24/19 Revisiting this fragrance again as my SOTD as of 02/24/19, I just love the way the Fig, Coconut and Iris were well blended and as well the lavender and musk are connected in the background. And the Fig note is beginning to be one of my favorite note(s). My nose detects more of the Fig, Coconut and Iris from start to finish. Longevity/Performance is beastly on my skin 8-11 sprays, lasted on my skin as a skin scent around 12+ hrs. Overall rating it will be a tad bit bumped up from 8 out of 10 to 8.25 out of 10. Is a must have to any collection to me is a hidden gem from Guess.

Fig and Coconut?? First off, I have to say this is one of my favorite blind buys ever! This is summertime in a bottle.. Very similar to a DS Durga fragrance, Debaser.. Sure, Debaser is higher quality and should be for a 150 dollar price tag.. Other than that, this juice is really nice and for under 25 dollars this is a must have in any collection.. Fig is one of my favorite notes.. To me this starts with a green fig with unsweetened coconut.. I also love coconut but sometimes it can get too sweet and cloying.. the coconut here is well balanced and very nice.. It will remind prople of sun screen.. Logevity and projection aren’t all that great but for 20 bucks you can spray as much as you want.. Very Unisex... I’m glad I have this in my collection.. A must own in my opinion Rating 9.1 out of 10

If you're looking for a unique summer scent, this is a VERY good deal when you can find it at discounters. The main top note as many have said is Coconut and it can be quite strong, almost cloying in the first few minutes. This was a blind buy and my initial impression was this was going to end up in the reject drawer for re-gifting. But after about 30 minutes, it dries down into a wonderfully tropical and intoxicating scent that surprisingly complex and long lasting. The coconut stays with it through the Middle, but tones down fairly quickly as it dries and becomes creamy and melds well with the cedar and spices in the base. Reminds me of an evening burning driftwood on the beach after a hot day. Definitely a Hidden Gem

This is by far one of my favorite fragrances I've bought in a long time.Me and my girlfriend was in the guess store in Washington D.C. Yesterday and I so happen to pick it up and smell it.i put it back because I have so many fragrances but she surprised me and bought it without me knowing.I rate this as a top 20 cologne all time because it's very very out the shower like type fragrance.An18 year old can wear it when you first but it on.After about 45 minutes to a hour it becomes very fresh and mature.I actually wore it today for the first time and got a few comments from a few mature women.Icsay but this and you will definitely be a happy guy!!!!

Want to add to my review. I will give the scent a 9/10. This is fast becoming one of my favorites - top 10 (I have more than 100) Wonderfuldry coconut that does not become gourmand but stays slightly sweet and creamy. Not a suntan oil coconut either as many reviewers have pointed out. The concrete smell reviewers refer to in my opinion smells more like the dusty smell when rain falls on a dirt road- for those of us who grew up in arid areas that is a wonderful smell. For the price a steal- I may get a backup bottle because I would never want to be without it in my collection!

It’s crazy to read some of the reviews on this one. Easily one of the best “cheapie” juices I have ever purchased. You get a huge blast of coconut, fig, and iris...but mostly coconut. I get almost beast mode longevity on my skin and good projection. Yes it’s slightly “synthetic” if you smell it up close, but everyone around you will appreciate it and what can you really expect from a $20 fragrance. In my opinion, absolute steal for the price. Will be rockin it heavy in the summer!

As mentioned, the scent is really wierd, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. I like the smell, the coconut is different than i expected but you won't have anything like this. It gets you attention and makes you stick out from the crowd and for that i admire this one for it. Fresh, interesting and not to sweet. It gives you compliments cuz no one really have come acrossed the DNA. Tumbs up.

A coconut tropical vacation type cologne/fragrance. I get a complete coconut /Iris feel for a scent which I love5☆. Value for me was under $20 on discount websites 5☆. Longevity is 7 hours which is a push. I wear this particular fragrance during daytime during the spring,summer season. Overall it's a 5☆. I would definitely buy this fragrance/Cologne again.

This is a cheapie and I love it and so does my daughter. This was also a blind buy after watching a youtube video, but really glad i got it. I get a fig/coconut scent blended with a dash of vanilla. I also find it to be a barely kind of sweet scent. Beautiful to wear by the pool or the beach, but I would where it anywhere. Unisex.

I can't get enough of this fragrance and have gotten many compliments from both men and women. At first I wasn't sure about how often I'd reach for this one out of my collection as it's a bit sweeter with the coconut and fig but it's quickly become a top choice in my rotation.

Coconut is polarizing. Half the population can't stand it. This is an Almond Joy in a bottle. It’s beautiful. Because it’s so unique it took several wears to understand. Average performance. I’ve never received a compliment wearing it but still a 10/10.

Imagine if they made a fresher spring/summer version of Nishane-Fan your flames The coconut is more of a savory toasted coconut it’s not a candy/suntan lotion coconut I got it for $12.99 it’s worth every penny I love it

I really love this one. It’s quite a woody fig for me with only a little coconut. This is my preferred fig fragrance, as it is dry; I find the likes of debaser too wet(?) I think. And it’s cheap to boot. Win win.

Wow is this juice amazing. A tropical, green, natural smelling wonder of a perfume. And with the price I can just bathe in this stuff. Phenomenal. Don’t pass on this.

Opening is perfect, just like phylosikos. If only it stayed that way! But it becomes rather faint on first wear. Hoping my nose will pick it up more as I wear it.

Love it. It does remind me a lot of Unforgivable Black Sean John. I have worn the two on different hands to compare and they are very similar

WOW, I am in love with this fragrance! I will definitely be buying a back up bottle. Not sure I detect any bergamot, though.

very good cologne, smells like coconut + iris with masculine edge. Performace 8 hours

My girlfriend really enjoys this one. She says she wanna eat me when she smells it.

Blind buy and super price , such a lovely scent, perfect for everyday :)

(Review of 100ml Bottle) I was given this bottle by my brother, who said he'd wore it barely at all after buying it. He let me try it real fast to see how I felt about it since he simply described it as "weird." One spray and immediately my mind went to Issey Miyake's Fusion D'Issey fragrances, as they share a similar weird DNA and that coconut/fig combo with some strange accords in the mix. So I went home with this fragrance in hand (and several others, thank you bro lol) to give it a shot on my own time. Reading the reviews for this one had me very intrigued, and on top of seeing other lackluster or disappointed reviews for Guess' other fragrances, I was quite curious as to how I'd feel about this one. But honestly? I think I got lucky here, this one's alright. To start, I can see why people think this one is odd or strange because it's definitely got a synthetic opener. Some find that harsh, but I found that it opens smoothly with little screechiness on my skin - the fig is nice and ripe, but not very sweet to me... which is how I prefer my fig, so that's a plus! There's some well balanced lavender there as well that compliments that fig really nicely, almost as though you got a whiff of some sort of stem. The big question mark for me is that strange mystery note in the middle that I seriously can't wrap my head around. There's ALMOST an odd, sort of green-aquatic nature to this fragrance, and I swear that I'm not tweaking over the color of the juice. I can't tell, but it shows up right after the coconut settles in, which is quite potent on my skin. This tracks, given my previous encounter with Fusion D'Issey Extreme. But again, it's well balanced with those green herbal bits and that mysterious accord. What I found interesting about the drydown on this fragrance is that is it by FAR one of the most divisive parts of this scent for the reviewers here, and yet for me it just ended up being a very smooth, slightly powdery musk. Accompanied by that creamy coconut, of course. I didn't find myself likening it to any sort of sunscreen or lotion, which was nice. The strange quality I described earlier does linger deep into the drydown of this as well. Indigo remained pleasant - and somewhat linear - throughout the entirety of my experience with it. I like this. I think for the price point (I've seen this get as low as 14 bucks) this is an astoundingly good deal. It lasts a solid amount of time (about 4-5 hours for me, drydown lasts a bit longer), and the projection off of my skin is on the lighter side of moderate but still plenty palpable. A super pleasing coconut/fig scent with a strange quality to it. You can risk the blind buy on this, at least to my nose. But even if you don't like it, you probably spent no more than twenty dollars on this... so I'd say it wasn't too much of a waste.

I got this because let's be honest, it was cheap, and the notes of it got my attention. don't let the colour of the juice mislead you, this is by no mean a fresh perfume. i sprayed it 10 minutes ago in my arm, so first impressions. Opening: after sprayed, it was a coconut punch to the face, it lasted (I'm not lying here) 30 seconds. After that it's an earthy, dirty fig that I'm smelling, the coconut is barely noticeable and there is a touch of sweetness on the back that it's really well balanced. i will update once it develops to the heart and dry drown. but for now, I'm really happy with the acquisition. Update 1: After 45 minutes the earthy, dirty smell receded a lot, and it was overpowered by the sweetness. after 2 hours, it's more of a sweet than anything else fragrance. But the sweetness is not overpowering, it's well balanced. it's still projecting, as i get reminded that I have it on me every now and then. I should say that the smell is kind of addictive. I don't think this will last more than 4 hours on my skin. Update 2: it lasted around 5 hours, after that couldn't smell it anymore For 18 usd that i paid for it on frangrancex, this is an amazing acquisition.

As a person who lives in a country where the fig trees are common thing, I can say with all my due respect to previous reviewers that there is no coconut note in this fragrance 😎 It is how the fresh green fig's leaves smell. In the frag this note is refined and combined with the rape figs note in a way that make impression of very natural (3D, I may say) feeling of fig's tree. I was pleasantly surprised when I tested it and bought a bottle with no regrets. The frag itself has some sunny vibe and is very suitable for summer days (even in hot summer days). It is not sweet aroma, although there is a rape figs note but the green leaves note is more dominant. The frag gives feeling of freshness rather than a gourmand. From the other hand "Indigo" is a linear frag -- the fig is all around you until the smell fades from your skin. In warm summer day longevity on me is about 4 hours with a moderate sillage. IMHO it feels like unisex but tends a bit more to masculine. Recommendation for buying: YES! ✌

I have the original 1981 and don't care for it, but this one threw me for a loop! I was curious to try this based off the notes and comparison to Philosykos with the fig/coconut combo. But this is not a dupe of Philosykos by any means. This one is less green and the coconut in Indigo is amped way up making it sweet and pleasant. Will test better for performance in several months because this undoubtedly is suited for warmer temperatures. EDIT - After trying this for a few days, I get the same "metallic" quality from the original 1981 For, although the coconut is quite strong, making it not as bad for me. EDIT 2 - Now it's summer, the heat is in full force and this lasts impressively long. I prefer the drydown because the metallic quality fades away, and I find the lavender in the opening to be too biting. When it settles, it's more pleasant, sweet coconut with vanilla nuances. Now on 8 hours of wear and still smelling it on myself, very nice!

If you are wondering what this smells like, it is simply coconut and cedar. As a matter of fact, that would be its name if it were a Jo Malone fragrance. I wish the tonka bean and musk would be more prominent to smooth out the sharpness of the cedar wood and greeness of the fig. The cedar really dries out the sweetness of the coconut and fig notes, so much so that it can smell as if Vetiver was included somewhere in the base. That being said it is a good/unique fragrance that is not without its charms. The cedar/Vetiver notes fade a bit in the dry down leaving a creamier coconut than what is present in the opening. Performance is good- it doesn’t project far, however you will have an arms length sillage for around 3 hours. I continue to catch wafts of the scent coming off me for 3-5 hours. Longevity is 6-8 hours. Not a bad grab if you are looking to introduce a coconut frag to your collection. Scent: 7.5/10 Performance: 8/10

This frag smells more expensive than it is, and performance is moderate to good. On my skin, the profile stayed quite green for a long time (1-3 hours) with a lot of fougère traits. The leafy smell was quite lifelike as well, this scent is not very synthetic, despite being fresh (and inexpensive). The coconut was also prominent, but it smelled more of the shell and hair of the coconut, as opposed to the meat and milk inside. Perhaps it was just the mixing of notes that made the coconut woody and fibrous. The important takeaway is that the coconut here is not sweet or mixed with vanilla to make a sunscreen lotion, or gourmand profile. Throughout the life of this frag, it remains fairly linear on me. The green leafy note dies down, but that takes hours. For the price you pay, this frag is a steal.

This is ok perfume. I can see why some people might actually hate it but you have to give time. The fig note is there for the 1st 5-10 mins strong. Then it slowly goes to the heart of the scent which is the coconut. Mixed with the other mid notes it becomes a musky fresh coconut scent. Which smells very nice and unique. It smells sweet but not syrup/sugar/candy sweet, more of a musky/fresh sweet . This can be easily unisex , the longevity is around 4 hours which isn’t bad. One perfume it does remind me of is Hermes sur le Mediterranean, but a lot more coconut. Overall if you’re looking for a change of the usual summer time freshy this can be for you. Scent : 7/10 Uniqueness: 7/10 Longevity:6/10 Overall:6/10

I bind bought this at Burlington, I was afraid it was going to smell light suntan lotion. Well I’m grateful that it doesn’t. This for me has a very interesting scent path. It is constantly changing in the fist hour, at least on me. The coconut is there but not to dominate. This is more of a mature scent and that is due to the fig, iris, and lavender. This one never gets real sweet which makes it probably a more evening scent. But with that said I think you could wear this to a more crowded area, (if they still exist) like the office, church or just out and about. This is unique and I would say anyone under 30 should test it before buying it.

Top note coconut and fig in the heart? I'd say just the opposite. As soon as you spray it, the coconut comes out first and for a minute or two doesn't even let anything else come through. Then, when the coconut calms down, the fig comes forward and takes the scene. It's definitely a different scent. It isn't overly complicated or overly strong (not great performance) but for a summer no-brainer frag for $20 for 100ml it's an alternative worth picking up. In a vast sea of summer citruses, this is a different vibe that not many have smelled and most likely nobody around you is wearing.

Very pleasant smelling cheap frag. Not the best longevity, silage is close range (I prefer this for short-lived perfumes since reapplying doesnt come with drowning it out for 30m), its solid, soft and welcoming. I believe it leans more on the work/everyday side rather than dates. Very nice bottle, mature but not serious. 1891 Indigo seems mostly unisex with a male bias to me, it’s just weird having coconut in a scent and it not being from shampoo or lotion. You will probably attract people with this nice fresh coconut, fig, and amber cheapie. Not groundbreaking but eh. It’s okay!

I found a 30 ml bottle at my local burlington for 8 bucks. It was a blind buy and trust me when I say never do what I did. The first time I smelt it, I couldn’t believe how bad it smelt, but the dry down on the other hand was heavenly. It smells like figs and creamy coconut. That’s about it. The fig note is really bitter and hard to like but once you wait about 15 minutes, you’ll be glad you got the fragrance. The coconut drydown lasts a long time over 6 hrs. This is a really nice one to wear during summer when you’re at the beach, just be aware of the really harsh fig opening

At first I sprayed this fragrance and hated it with a passion but then about 20 minutes after when it dried down I was extremely please with how I was smelling. I would rate the opening a 3.5/10 And dry down a 7.5/10 Longevity about 4-6 hours Projection is about a 5/10 for about 1.5 - 2 hours The price was $13.99 ( Really happy with my purchase) I'm pretty sure I can get better performance if I apply on top of lotion. Overall I would give this fragrance a 7/10 *I just have to get through the opening notes🤢

I've worn Indigo a few times now in the high AZ heat and even though it is overly synthetic I enjoy it enough to go back to it once or twice a month. Really it is all about sweet synthetic coconut here and not much else. Don't over spray or it can be an assault on the senses. I wouldn't recommend to anyone who keeps a small collection but if you like to switch it up alot it could be a good addition for the price.

Considering this is aimed at men, this is a pretty unisex fragrance - mostly due to the coconut I guess. If that's your thing then maybe this is worth a blind buy, but I understand some people will not be a huge fan of this. With all that said I think its a solid frag but its still a little too cold out for me to be wearing this. Will 100% revisit this in a few months when its warmer. 7/10

i blind bought this purely because i saw coconut in the notes and its dirt cheap... it did not disappoint. fresh and smooth with a woody coconut undertone all for a mere 20 bucks ? awesome freshy for the collection in my opinion, only bad thing ? she lasts a max of 5-6 hours but for this price range count me in. verdict- 8/10 wish she lasted longer

A pleasant fresh blue fragrance. Yes, it does smell "blue", maybe it's the Indigo name influencing me. Longevity and silage are both good for an EDT. An unusual aroma but I can tell this is going to grow on me. I have several Guess perfumes and so far, they are all nice in their different ways. *Update* I can smell fig here but no coconut.

This is nice... I get the coconut, lavender, and woods for sure and maybe even a little amber. The fig is there but not nearly on the level of Zegna Milan. This isn’t a fragrance that you burry your nose is!! Give it a few sprays and wait for the magic to happen. The aroma is somewhat addicting.

It's not a bad scent. Just lasts very little on my skin, 2 hrs at most, on clothes i get about 3.5-4hrs, but the projection is very weak regardless. Have to overspray if I want anyone to notice it in the first 30 minutes, and after that, regardless of amount of sprays, It becomes a skin scent.

It is a different blue type fragrance for sure, the coconut note is pretty unique in this, but other than that it's a typical and solid blue fragrance. Sadly it doesn't last more than 4-5 hours on my skin and bearly projects for more than an hour.

The combination of notes makes for an interesting blend. the coconut and iris form an almost modeling clay undercurrent that is not unpleasant but does take a little getting used to. An all-around nice scent with good sillage and longevity.

Lovely, lovely, lovely! Unfortunately the longevity, projection and sillage are very sad. Haih. How i wish they make it Parfum or Extrait version.

05OCT21 Wow...This is NOT what I was expecting! This is definitely a coconut frag...but it's like...gothic coconut. I mean, my "Authenticity - Silver Luxe" is like "Spongebob amped up on Krabby Patties" kinda coconut...super sweet, powerful, knock-your-socks-off level coconut. This "Guess - 1981 Indigo" is like "Daria Morgendorfer" staring you down and you dont know whether to approach and ask for her number or turn and run for your life"...sexy, dark, slightly homocidal, gothic and mysterious level coconut. I like it...but I may have to brighten it up a bit by wearing both at the same time...they will balance each other out...lol. I'll report back with projection/longevity stats after I wear it fully for the first time tomorrow. =] 06OCT21 Welp...that didn't work. This fragrance definitely has to be worn ALONE! I layered it on my body with my "Silver Luxe" coconut frag (one shot chest and back) and also sprayed my shirt with the 1981 and I basically couldn't smell it over the 2 sprays of "Silver Luxe" by the time I left the house. I can't really count this since I never actually smelled the 1981 for more than 15 minutes. *shrug* Will try again...after the next 3-4 frags I just received. 24OCT21 UPDATE: Nah...this isn't it...this ain't gonna work. I have real coconut frags and this isn't it. This is a Fig frag...lol. Putting this one in the donation bin.

A powdery, sort of metallic coconut main spring-summertime frag. The fig is also evident, but the coconut steals the show. Be aware that this is not a suncreen or sweet coconut scent. I paid 27 € for the gift set with shower gel and deo spray. I already had Eternity Now, which I deem warmer and sweeter, maybe also more nocturnal and a better representation of the coconut nectar, while Indigo could be the bark. It has also similarities with JPG Le Beau but this is more unique and thus less mass pleasing. Indigo is very fresh and sharp and just right for a beach day. It is long lasting (6-8hs) and has decent projection. Even the deo-spray projects! This could be what a surfer would wear on a warm summer night out. Like some said there's something acrimonious in the juxtaposition of lactonic, powdery and citric notes that won't work for those expecting tropical balmy calm, this is tangy, sharp and loud, 3-4 sprays all you need. I am quite surprised by this as all the other Guess I've had had poor performance but this rocks your socks.

Coconut. It’s not a sunscreen or a pina colada coconut. There’s something more unique, almost funky about this coconut. Is it the nectar? Maybe it’s the fig? Truthfully, Indigo actually has me somewhat stumped. I’ve had a 30ml bottle for over a month, and I’m still not quite sure exactly what I’m smelling. Pros: Very different, almost challenging if that’s your thing. Something you rarely find with these affordable designer fragrances. It evolves a lot as you wear it and dries down nicely. It’s also very affordable. Cons: I wouldn’t call Indigo a smooth, well blended fragrance. There’s also one facet in the opening that does smell a little off. Funky or pungent as I mentioned; which does eventually fade. Ultimately, Guess 1981 Indigo is an affordable, unique wearing that differs some from the standard fresh, blue, or aquatic designer offerings most of us have. If this is your thing, it wouldn’t hurt picking up a bottle for about $12-$15 to try. Rating: 6.5/10

So this one is a bit weird for a designer fragrance. If it was from a niche brand I’d chalk it up to trying to be different. Take those notes and forget them. Sure there’s coconut, but I’m not even sure what else I’m getting. There’s an odd aroma I can’t quite attribute to anything in that note breakdown. I’m not saying I don’t like it, but I will say I really can’t decide. And again, when it comes to designer fragrances you’d think their goal is to be somewhat mass appealing. This definitely is NOT. My wife said it smells “plasticee”. But to me there’s like an odd on the verge of going bad fruit smell. If you’re looking for something very different and odd I guess grab it, it’s almost addictive on that level of continuing to smell your hand trying to get it. However this is not going to draw compliments.

I got this cause I seen on YouTube that this is a unique fragrance and YES it is and that's the far as that goes. I first tested it on paper and it was horrible. Smelled straight synthetic with the earthy fig smell. Turned me off for about a month then I thought I haven't tried it on my skin. Did that and the synthetic smell went away moments after spraying. The fig can be pulled off but only in a certain occasion. I'm a traveler and I'd only wear this when I'm deep in nature, that's it lol. At a preserve, national park, mountains, an island or beach. Settings like that I feel this scent will flourish. In the city just walking about, no. You will 100% smell different than everybody else no matter how cheap this is guaranteed
