SpicyWhat does Guess Man smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter trails far behind. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most voted occasions. It reads as masculine, followed by modern.
It opens with vermouth, and the heart brings white pepper, nutmeg, ginger and lavender for a spicy, floral touch. The base leans on sandalwood, fir and amber, softened by suede and musk. Aquatic and green shades run through the accords as well. Carolina Herrera 212 Men and Montblanc Starwalker have a close profile.
