Guess by Marciano for Men

I stumbled across this scent when I bought a sampler set of Guess colognes. It was one of five and turned out to be the one I enjoyed most and have bought ever since. I am new to this scent reviewing deal but I do not smell any cheapness in this scent. Alas, I am new to the game so read the following with that in mind. I get the following at the first blast: A spiced orange scent that is reminiscent of the orange scent you may pick up in orange flavored black tea. An exact orange tea smell? No, but when I read orange in cologne reviews I think a citrus scent that is in summer scents and this is NOT that kind of orange. It pretty much stays orange spice until it begins to dry and that is when I pick up leather. I am sure the other notes are there but to me I can only believe they soften the leather. The result is a fragrance that is refined enough for the office because it is restrained in it's projection and sensual enough close to the skin for intimate maneuvers in the dark. It should be noted that I am 47 years old and it works very well for me. It may be too mature for members of the Millennial Generation. I would use this in any season but summer (too spicy and too much of a juxtaposition of summer citrus scents). Bottom line if you need an almost year round scent for work or play and you can remember when MTV was not all suck ass reality shows but a collage of music videos from anyone who had one well buy this scent. Oh if you remember yelling at your kids to turn the MTV down it will work for you too!

I blindly bought this full 100ml bottle off someone online and my bottle does not say, "For Men" or "For Women". I figured it must be unisex and since I loved the notes, bought it. I love it, though it does have a slightly manly smell, I'm trying it layered with True Religion Love Hope Denim, which is a very circus sweet scent. They only appear to share one note (musk) but pair so nicely so far though I just sprayed it about 30 mins ago, as the Guess spice keeps the sweet TR a little grounded and adds some earthiness and depth. When I saw here this Guess edt is for men, I briefly considered giving it to my brother for Christmas, but these two go very well together so I may just keep this. Ladies, don't be turned off by finding out this is a man's perfume. Try it first.. it may surprise you. I'd say for women this is more of a fall/winter scent and may be too much for spring and summer when I'd bet the more masculine notes would shine, but others may disagree. It's winter here in Canada now and I can't imagine wearing this in the dead heat of summer, it would be too much for me. On a man, it would likely be divine in summer. There's something really sexy about this perfume. Though that sexiness would be more vigilant on a man in my opinion, I'm quite enjoying it on me on this Christmas day. It's conjuring thoughts of a man's bare chest in my head. 😄 Delicious! 😉

Ignore the reviewer below me. This cologne is far from disgusting, or maybe he experienced what happened to me. I bought this about 5 years ago and sprayed it a few times and didn’t really like it too much. I put it in my cologne cabinet and moved on to more modern fragrances. Fast forward to a few years after my purchase and one day I was getting into my elevator and there was this middle aged man already in the elevator. I began to smell this beautiful scent and I remember thinking holy crap this guy is wearing a gods scent. It was mysterious and fresh all in one. I’ve never stopped a man and asked him what he was wearing “ever”, but I did that day. He told me he was wearing a guess cologne, he couldn’t remember the name of it so I asked him to describe the bottle. After hearing the description I went back up my elevator and rushed to my home and sure enough, it was the cologne I tucked away years prior. After putting on about 5 to 7 sprays I was treated to this underrated gem. I’m not sure where my head was at when I first sprayed this.. Maybe men are like women, we need to be in the right headspace and mood before we put on a scent, emotional mood can make all the difference in life. I will definitely be buy another bottle. 8/10.

I am suprised by this one. The presentation, the aroma, far exceeding my expectations. This is my first cologne from the Guess house. In the past, I considered Guess to be the cheapie king. Pretty low end. But the Seductive line has been getting good reviews. And that is what drew my attention to this cologne. The packaging really stood out, so at a price of $22 CDN, i thought, why not? SO glad I did. It's hard to describe the pleasant, warm smell this gives. So cozy. And to be honest, the longevity and sillage, though not powerful, are completely acceptable. Yes, you'll probably respray at lunch, but this smells so nice, who cares? This is a great product. Guess is now on my radar, and that's cool, because thier prices are so reasonable.

Smells fresh, clean and young. It's the kind of scent you smell in a young adult, making his way through seriousness, professionalism and responsibilities. It's for guys in their twenties and early thirties, shaking off all their insecurities and beautifuly blossing maturity. This scent is not intrusive in any way, nor disgusting. It's fresh, clean and young. I thought it would smell cheap and sticky in warm weather, but for my surprise it's really refreshing and pleasant.
