Bargain alert! Velvety vanilla with a herbal touch
Oooh, I can't believe I waited so long to try this marvelous cheapie! Out of all fragrances I know, this might have the best ratio of price, scent and easy accessibility. It's in every drug store (at least in Germany), smells like a better Mon Guerlain and costs a whopping 15 € for a small bottle (less when it's on sale!).

Even though this has sage instead of lavender, it's really similar to Mon Guerlain and other lavender-vanilla blends, especially at first glance. When you know that it's supposed to be sage, you can actually identify it, it smells a bit more herbal and less clean than lavender.
The vanilla in here is creamy and warm with a good amount of depth. It turns sweeter and more gourmand towards the finale. I always liked the Mon Guerlain lind, but thought the drydown of the original EDP was a little too perfumey and could be a little warmer. In Seductive Noir, it's definitely warm enough with all that vanilla.
A subtle creamy jasmine and a powdery iris round it out. The light suede note is another really nice touch, it gives the fragrance a velvety-smooth texture.

This is just so pretty! I wouldn't really categorize it as a "Noir" scent, but it does lean a little darker than others from this family. Not dark enough to be a nighttime only scent though, this would be prefect for a cold winter day.
I don't really need another vanilla with lavender or lavender-esque sage, but I'm afraid I might not be able to resist this temptation forever. It won't drain my account after all.

Seductive indeed
Guess Seductive OG has been in my collection for 5 years now: opened, but barely touched. It's too bland and any seductiveness is hard to find. I've kept it, because not that long ago I barely had any perfume on my dresser (and I don't chuck things that fast anyway).

I'd been eyeing the Noir for years now and when I saw it offered under €20 I pulled the trigger. And... I'm pleasantly surprised. Seductive Noir has, imho, absolutely nothing of the OG DNA, besides the same bottle (in black though).

The opening is almost black liquorice like, but I know its a deep, fragrantic freshly plucked sage that says hello with very obvious moving hands. The bergamot and peony in the top are simply overpowered though peony manages to say a quick hi before the flapping hands of Sage are back again. This is no queenly wave, but a beefy blacksmith's shake. Despite the Sage bomb with a teensy peony Seductive Noir intrigues from the start.

When the heart shows up to compliment the herby, aromatic top the scent gets a bit more complexity with jasmine as greatest supporter and lily as its understudy. For me no powderiness and nothing else that reminds me of iris before the vetiver shows up.
One could say Seductive Noir has a masculine side with the prominent Sage and Vetiver, and that might have been true if the suede had pushed through most. But beside the blossoming jasmine of the heart it is vanilla that wins the race for attention.

Guess marketed the entire Seductive line to a younger woman - 20 something -, but when it comes to the Noir flanker I think age is but a number (I actually always think that, but society loves its boxes). Any person of any age could wear this fragrance and enjoy her. While I don't consider this flanker a dupe of Mon Guerlain - something I've heard say on YT - I do think that the same person wears both. Or could, if they had Guerlain money and/or no snobbery for the perfume you can find in a drugstore. I also think Alien Mugler enthusiasts might enjoy Seductive Noir when they want a lighter jasmine perfume that still has some "balls".

When it comes to sillage and longevity Seductive Noir is almost as big a disappointment as the OG. I needed to spray twice to let her shine in the beginning (NB. My skin is very dry and eats perfume, so don't think this'll be the case for everyone) and then it lasted about 4hours tops. But...I also think she'll be better suited in temperatures about 17+ degrees Celsius lower than when I wore GSN the first few times. My skin will be different then.

I'll edit a PS once I've tested a Fall & Winter wear.

Alltogether Seductive Noir is a nice find that does have a Seductive twist, making this fragrance a great date night + going out perfume. But, I also think it could very well be a daily AW scent for a woman who knows what she wants and who she is. Seductive Noir is a bit sensual, a bit sexy, but also a warm, aromatic blanket. I should've pulled that trigger ages ago!

Herbs, vanilla, and peace of mind.
This always gets compared to Mon Guerlain, and I can understand why after trying it. It's an endearing vanillic herbaceous blend of a fragrance.

The herbs are turned up a little in this compared with MG, and have a scratchier texture to them. Indeed, they feel more classically masculine, whereas MG's lavender feels more rounded off. Mon Guerlain is as pretty uptown girl with a boyish grin who can comfortably talk with men when necessary, but Seductive Noir is an actual tomboy.

As this dries, the herbs actually chill out more, and it does become more feminine, mellow, plush and soothing, but there's an earthiness that gives off a deeper resonance too.

Ultimately, this is commendable fragrance, especially for the price! It makes me feel more sleepy than "seductive" though, it's quite calming.

Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis Top!!
Ich finde den Duft richtig schön. Er ist süß, warm und ein bisschen verführerisch. Perfekt für den Abend oder kältere Tage. Die blumigen Noten sind perfekt mit der vanillgen Süße ausgeglichen. Ich persönlich bin kein Fan von blumigen Noten aber hier riecht es ganz anders als ich es gewöhnt bin. Für den Preis echt top!

A Diamond Among Pebbles
This is the best drugstore scent I have tested this year. Leather-cream vanilla that reminds me somewhat of Cuir Beluga by Guerlain. A soft, gentle cuddle scent. Very sensual, noble, balanced, round, and full.

Where do I start? I sprayed pure enthusiasm on my arm yesterday. This fragrance is of better quality than much of what is sold at Türkisen for over €60. Seductive Noir is a cousin of Armani Code Cashmere, Code Satin, Hypnotic Poison, or Mon Guerlain. Please don't stone me, yes, they are all not twins... they just all have this cuddly, non-piercing, unfruity, base sweetness and jasmine in the heart note.

The scent:
The top note is very restrained with bergamot, peony, and sage.
The heart note has wonderful jasmine sambac, powdery iris, and lily of the valley.
The base has a dominant, strong vanilla, light suede, velvet, and soft vetiver.

The beauty is that the vetiver in this perfume has been used sparingly. An overdose of it quickly and mercilessly catapults many fragrances into oblivion for me. The sage, though an unusual note, does not push itself to the forefront but is artfully woven into this wonderful composition. It makes this scent unique. It gives a very subtle herbaceousness that reminds me of Angelique Noir.
Even though many say it smells like a cheap Mon Guerlain, pardon me, but no. I must disagree. I had Mon Guerlain on my right arm yesterday, Seductive Noir on the left, and could calmly compare the progression. The lavender makes Mon Guerlain more of a scent sister than a twin. MG somehow also seems brighter and has a stronger top note.

The longevity:
is on my skin - oh joy - at a remarkable 12 hours. I can still smell the scent from yesterday. That is quite rare for an EdT.

The sillage:
I estimate as average to good. Not a standout, since it is an Eau de Toilette anyway. So the marketing is honest here. This makes it quite wearable as a daytime scent.

The bottle:
seems a bit cheap to me. There are uneven edges on the plastic cap. A crocodile-like relief adorns the bottom. The label is applied crookedly. It is a shame to bottle such a noble scent in such an ugly bottle. It deserves something better.

Price-performance:
Unbeatable. At Rossmann, 15ml for €7.95 on sale. I know no scent that smells so rounded and balanced for so little money and still has depth.

Seductive Noir is the first drugstore scent I have sprayed on myself for sleeping. This vanilla smells familiar and calms me. All in all, a successful fragrance.
I hope that my description has been a small help in deciding whether Guess Seductive Noir EdT is worth a test for you.

The perfumer Laurent Le Guernec has already created fragrances for the brand Bond No. 9 that are sold for over €200 per bottle. I think it is no coincidence that this scent has a quality that is otherwise hard to find in the drugstore.

This elegant and mysterious black bottle hides a very good aromatic potion, warm and sexy as the name suggests. Discrete sillage.I love it!

A lovely evening floral fragrance that is not overwhelming, and hits above the price tag.

I’m a sucker for this intense vanilla and vetiver combination happening here. Anyone else catching fresh pipe tobacco vibes?

Less cloying than Mon Guerlain yet very close to it. Smells way more expensive than the bargain price you pay for it. Worth it!

Dark, rich creamy vanilla seduction with all kinds of floral sweetness, a hint of wild leather & a touch of sage. A wonderful evening delight.

Lush, soft, warm scent with a pleasant vibe. Very similar to "Oriental Essence Poème d'Azar" by Rituals. A highlight for the price.

WOW! This one really delivers - at first it reminds me of Mon Guerlain, but it has a different vanilla. Absolute hidden gem, could be a flanker of MG!
