What does Guess 1981 Indigo for Men smell like?
It opens fresh and fruity with sage, fig, Italian bergamot and lavender. In the heart, roasted tonka bean, iris and oakmoss add a floral, sweet and slightly gourmand tone. Cedarwood and amber leave a woody, creamy warmth at the base.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with business use also suiting it. Most see it as masculine, and some call it modern. Otto Kern Signature Extrême and Adamo Clifton have a close profile.
