Pleasing everyday fragrance for a small budget!
Was a blind buy - as the ratings for such a new perfume launched on the market were pretty good.
I also like GUESS very much as a fashion brand (especially the Retro-Line), which is why I dared to try to order it this way.
For 24€/100ML you cannot complain.
The fragrance was very much marked by mint and pepper - which is why it was very intense and pointed in the nose. After this concentrated initial cloud has settled,
the fragrance pyramid came out better. One smells some vetiver like also the ginger - however no molecule of tobacco got into my nose.
There is some similarity to EROS, but the pepper is too strong, so the sweetness of an Eros never really gets through (which some people will like).
The Sillage is OK - but it does not take up space, which is of course a plus point.
In the drydown I like the fragrance the best, because here all the fragrances function very harmoniously and produce a well "stirred" cocktail, which will not touch and please everyone.
Shelf life was 5 hours with me (before I showered). So actually OK - would have given the smell perhaps still so 1-2 hours, before it would be then only completely skin near perceptible.
However, in my opinion the special, the class is missing here, which makes the fragrance appear high quality. According to its "brand" GUESS, the fragrance also ranks among the usual mainstream suspects.
A helper, Burberry, and his ilk could have brought out a scent like that.
My blind buy rating here would be a 7.5/10. price-performance but a 9/10.

At the Faber-Castell flagship store!
When I was in Frankfurt with my girlfriend before the Corona crisis, we literally sniffed around in the Faber-Castell store on the Zeil. For those who do not know: Faber-Castell is a stationery manufacturer, from pencils to crayons,...
