Guess Night
by Guess
Guess Night presents a synthetic, fresh-spicy woody vanilla fragrance with a pronounced pepper opening that settles into a powdery, slightly sweet vanilla drydown. It has a linear progression, with most of the attention focused on the initial burst of spicy citrus and elemi, which many users find harsh or overly synthetic. The scent lingers moderately, lasting about 4 hours, but with minimal projection—sillage remains intimate to moderate. The overall impression is that of a clean, youthful, wearable scent for casual outings or night-time wear, particularly in warmer seasons. It evokes comparisons to D&G The One and Kenzo Jungle Homme, with similar tonalities of synthetic musk, citrus-amber warmth, and a vanilla-woody base. Some users find it surprisingly effective in garnering compliments, despite its generic quality and lack of depth. It shines more as a budget-friendly starter fragrance, especially for those exploring perfumery or seeking a light, refreshing scent for limited wear.
