Guess Seductive

JASMINE & ORANGE-BLOSSOM. Opens with a fruity-citrus burst of pear & black-currant supported by multi-faceted bergamot, that deepens into a white-floral heart of jasmine & orange-blossom with powdery, citrus, clean, honeyed, creamy, fruity & fresh facets, all resting on a floral support of musky vanilla-woods with faintly spicy touches from frankincense. Jasmine is the star of the show here, and is more forward than the notes would suggest, leaning fruity-citrus-honeyed. I don't get the faint grape kool-aid or licorice-y nuances that often accompany jasmine scents. In the air I get predominantly jasmine & orange blossom and on the skin it's clean & sweet, picking up honey-pear, pencil shavings & a faint but pleasant detergent. This takes a few weeks/months in dark storage after first sprays to smell great. The first few sprays were pungent and off-putting, but after some time this smells like it should based on the notes. Contrast to Armani Code For Women Giorgio Armani: These are different, but there are similarities with a fruity-leaning jasmine & orange-blossom. Armani Code is the most similar scent to Guess Seductive that i've smelt, but it's more honey forward and has superior performance. Contrast to Dior Addict EDT Dior: These are different, but there is a similarity with the forward jasmine over woody notes. Dior Addict EDT is more jasmine forward, while the jasmine in Guess Seductive leans fruity-pear. Dior Addict EDT outperforms. Contrast to Beauty Calvin Klein: These are different, but there is an overall similar vibe with forward jasmine over woody tones, and both have been compared to Alien Eau Extraordinaire. Guess Seductive is more fruity-citrus forward but has roughly equivalent performance. Contrast to Rise Beyonce: These are different, but there are some striking similarities, and both have been compared to Armani Code. The scent profile is quite similar, but Rise starts bolder and projects the fruity jasmine better at first, while Guess Seductive is more smoothly blended with slightly better longevity. Comparison to Jil Sander Sun 30th Anniv. Edition: Both are a burst of white florals and citrus including jasmine and orange blossom on a woody base, although I would say Guess Seductive is more well blended so I find it harder to pick out individual notes. Right out of the bottle, Jil Sander outperforms Guess Seductive, as it's very loud and sunny, and has the additional ylang. Guess Seductive is a little more understated and this could be an advantage for wearing year round. Overall: Affordable and a beautiful scent profile with above average performance, this smells like it's worth a lot more. This is the perfect scent to wear when you have champagne tastes but beer money. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Update 07/09/24: Really enjoying this today. The orange-blossom is more forward today with fluffy, creamy honey nuances than I remember. Overall a gorgeous jasmine & orange-blossom scent. Still a love.

Oh boy... this is SEXY! I absolutely love this one. I got it with the lotion and the shower gel and, if you get to use all of them, it is quite an experience. This perfume smells way more expensive than it actually is. It is a sexy vanilla perfume, but it's not like your typical vanilla scent, which is sweet, this is actually warm and sexy. It smells as if it had patchouli in there somewhere, so I was suprised when I read the notes and I found none... I'm guessing it's the olibanum, because you can tell there's something strong in the base that keeps this scent sexy and it gives it a lot of personality. I wouldn't say this is a fruity perfume at all, because I usually think of "fresh" when I think of "fruity", but you get some of the pear in the opening, which disappears after a while. It's not a strong floral either, at least on my skin, to me this is all about the vanilla and a really warm element, which comes from the resin and the woods. I really LOVE this. It's original and it smells expensive. Some people here say it doesn't last long, on me this lasts a long time and it projects really well. The shower gel and the lotion can be found in large size, and if you have the chance, try them all! It's a very sensual scent...

OH YES!! THIS IS ONE OF THOSE "little secrets"! the scent is classy & sophisticated yet has a touch sexy sweetness at the same time. I get allot of the Sweet & Tangy African Orange Flower!! You would never think that such an affordable perfume smells this good and has amazing staying power. I been seeing this all too often, Ill find a cheaper not too popular perfume opposed to many high-end brands and the cheaper one's are always the ones that have amazing lasting power. Many high end brands seem to water-down there perfumes so that you will have to keep spraying an buying and spraying and buying. They will make Gorgeous scents that you just can't seem to keep on your skin. I'm talking about Gucci, Prada, D&G, some Cahacharel & even some newer Guerlain perfumes. I love Guerlain, I'm not trying to knock them, they have those beautiful, amazing Classic, that last like l'huere Blue. Maybe its all those synthetic notes that don't have real staying power like the au naturele version. So we all just have to keep on the hunt to find those little gems or just invest in the pure perfume oils, which will probably save you money in the long run.

scarlett.angel got treasure right! I find this to be a very expensive scent. If I close my eyes, the mental image I get is riding in a limo with Gisele Bundchen. I must say, I like this ton-loads better than The One. This is The One...done right! I love the bottle also. The cap is a bit hard to get off but, if you put a foot on each side of the cap and pull, you'll get it! I'd never recommend this to anyone. I want to keep this to myself. It's just too good for too cheap! I don't imagine there's really a season just for this, but I choose to wear mine most often, in the brisk fall. It's just so complimentary to the fallen crunchy leaves!

Gorgeous! Very interesting and delightful! Changes a lot throughout the day, but I can smell very much the pear, the orange flower, the bergamot, the jasmine, the blackcurrant, the olibanum, the cashmere wood, the vanilla, and a lovely soapy smell quite often, as if all my clothes have been freshly washed in some very lovely smelling soap powder! Very sensual, and seductive for me. Really really nice; I'll definitely be adding this to my 'get a bottle whenever it's on special" list, and my favourites! Lovely bottle and box too. Also really lasts well on me - all day, and quite strong still - and excellent sillage, about 6 feet. Terrific.
