Seductive Red Homme

Sometimes seeing and reading things that I read, I think that I’m writing in a sea of broken noses. That's especially true for reviewers who sniff with their eyes and prejudices, rather than their sense of smell... even more so in US reviewers, where Guess must be a reviled brand; paradoxically in my country the opposite happens. The truth is that I usually find it funny as brands that are tacky here, are exalted there and vice versa. Anyway... Beyond social prejudices or the subjectivity of tastes, find out some facts of this release: This fragrance has an alcoholic opening in the first seconds, which soon fades: This is the only drawback that can be said, because from here, everything else only gets better and better... Subsequently, all that comes is a truly delicious smell and it’s precisely at that moment when you check the label and see that it clearly says “Guess”. When I tried it in store along with all the new releases from all the brands, I was unmistakably amazed at what was coming out of that red bottle's atomizer. So no, it's not a good fragrance for its price; what it is, is a good scent for any price range (of designers). The fragrance opens citrusy and fruity with a delicious fresh and creamy sweetness balanced with fig and cinnamon. Soon the kumquat, orange blossom and geranium come into play, keeping the composition vibrant and sparkling. When vanilla, sandalwood and amber gain presence gradually increasing their prominence, the piece is completed in an excellently composed and executed olfactory conjunction. It’s versatile, attractive, vibrant and seductive... but also addictive. That’s important! Because if a fragrance tires you, it doesn't matter how good an initial impression it makes, right? Average projection, +/- 8h, nice bottle, good atomizer... At Guess they have done all their homework. If you also find it cheap in your country, I don't know what you're doing wasting the time to go buy it.

Guess what? Seductive with a pretty good sillage and scent profile. Really like it's warm ambery, lemony, sandalwood profile with that smooth hint of vanilla. Not that delightful bourbon vanilla like in Azzarro TMW Parfum. But still a likable vanilla/vanillin. Slight smokiness amidst that vanilla. Someone mentioned that it reminds them of sauna. As a Finn I have to attest to this idea :-D I also get a hint of sauna. That fresh woody slightly smoky sauna scent that you get when you enter. Mind you this is a sauna with a woodstove. Not electric-"stove". AKA Kiuas. I have a feeling that the bitterness of the kumquat has something to do with this with the smooth woodiness of sandalwood. The fragrance itself has a nice fresh lemony start. But mellows quickly to it's smooth ambery woodsy notes reminiscent of sauna :-) As I continue to smell it on my skin it evolves more to this incense-y kind of scent. The sandalwood working it's magic most definitely :-P Kind and smooth and as the name says it. Seductive. Warm. Ambery smoothness. I would imagine a great date or time with a lady. I have a feeling a lady would like this fragrance. Have to say that I find this unisex. I would also be enchanted to smell this on a lady. :-) For it's price on Notino for example(around 25-30€ for 100ml) this is a good bargain.

Fine, gentle, not too extreme but a really fine, mild scent. Might be ideal for a girl who is really into boyish things and often enjoys "For men" stuff :} It actually reminds me of some of my alltime-favourite shower gels that are not in production any more! Oh okay, I know, I know, this might be one of the worst offenses to be said about a scent, but for me, it's comforting and more pleasant than I'd be able to describe it. I see some disappointed comments below and I will not argue against them, but having had no expectations, Seductive did not make me disappointed. The scent is fine, the strength of it is exactly what I'd expect from an EDT, so I guess we are going to be good pals. Seems... erm, smells to be appropriate for everyday use. Civilized enough, not provocative at all.

I honestly wrote this fragrance off when initially smelled this. It came off as light and basic, but eventually put it in rotation. Once I sprayed this on kind of got Dolce and Gabbana The One eau de parfum vibes. After this dried down I'm not sure, but all I know is I would get these fresh sweet drifts that would hit me all day. Confused on what it was I would smell myself and to my surprise, it was me! The beauty of this scent is definitely in the dry down. Without question a date night fragrance that will have her intrigued about you all night as the night goes on and she gets closer

This wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be. I really enjoyed it. For being such a cheapie it was splendid. And it has kumquat, fig and lemon zest, three notes you don't see a lot in men's perfumery. I never had to dig my nose into my arm to smell it, because I could literally smell it, like it would travel up to my nose. and the sillage was excellent. And on top of that, it would stay on my clothes all night into the next morning. AND you can wear it all year. For $15, this was an excellent deal and I will be getting another bottle.
