Guess Cologne: Here’s What You Can Expect

Guess is known as a luxury brand for clothes and accessories. Their perfumes and colognes are luxurious too. You may love the clothes division of the brand and want to expand on it but aren’t sure where to start.

As with any new cologne, we recommend trying a travel bottle size or tester if you can get your hands on one. You might already have a signature scent and know what you like. There’s no harm in trying out a new scent that’s similar or even one that’s completely different. However, you want to make sure you’re doing it without wasting money and product.

One great aspect about Guess is their price point. Despite being a luxury brand, their fragrances are reasonably priced. You can purchase travel sizes for around $9 for 2.7oz and spray vials for around $2. A 3.4oz bottle costs anywhere between $25 and $65 depending on the collection and site you purchase it from. Compared to other luxury brands, they’re on the cheaper side.

When it comes to the design of the bottles, they do stand out on their own. However, when compared to each other, they’re all basically the same. They do exude masculinity with their choices. Most resemble a lighter, while others look like a grenade or resemble a bottle of whiskey. The only true difference in design is with Guess Night. It has a deep to light blue bottle that’s square and tall in shape. It looks almost like a mirror with a crack in it.

Their men’s cologne line doesn’t vary much in terms of season and day or night use. Most of the scents you can wear regardless of the season and time of day except for a few. For example, Guess Man makes a great fragrance choice for summer and springtime months. It’s also ideal for daytime use. Guess Seductive Noir Homme is an option for cooler months and is a stronger scent, so it’s better to use at night events or the club.

My impression is that, the sillage for most of the scents ranges from moderate to strong, with a few having a sillage range. Seductive Homme, Seductive Homme Blue, 1981, and 1981 Los Angeles are more intimate to moderate in sillage. The longevity of the colognes has moderate staying power. However, Seductive Noir Homme and Dare are reported to have long-lasting longevity.

I believe the colognes are great value for money. Especially Suede, Dare, Marciano, and Seductive Homme offer great value for the price.

The Guess Story

Guess started in 1981 as a stylebook. It was founded by four French brothers Maurice, Armand, Paul, and Georges Marciano. In the 1980s, Guess was the first company to make designer jeans. You might remember their debut in the movie Back to the Future.

Guess soon rose to fame. Guess created various other clothing divisions, but it wasn’t until 2005 they started to create perfume.

Guess for Women launched in the spring of 2005 with Guess for Men launching in the spring of 2006. Guess has been known for its celebrity backing and ad campaigns. Some of the world’s biggest celebrities swear by Guess. The most famous faces include Claudia Schiffer, Drew Barrymore, Gigi Hadid, Michele Morrone, and Werner Schreyer.

One of their more notable ads was Guess Seductive Noir, a flanker to their #1 selling fragrance Guess Seductive. It featured models Charlie Matthews and Kelsie Smeby, who was handpicked by Paul Marciano. The campaign featured the duo in sexy and sultry poses to represent how irresistible a woman becomes when she uses it and how magnetic and masculine a man becomes.

Another notable campaign for their Guess Night cologne included Portuguese’s Golden Globe winner, Goncalo Teixeira. The ad showcases Goncalo and other male models at a nightclub. The women models are intrigued and mesmerized by their presence and scent.
