About Guess 1981 for Men EDC
1981 for Men EDC comes from Guess. This one is the Eau de Cologne.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Dior Fahrenheit and Lattafa Velvet Oud spread further.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €45. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Lattafa Velvet Oud but less than Dior Fahrenheit and Roja Dove Roja Elysium Parfum.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Dior Fahrenheit and Lattafa Velvet Oud last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like incense and leather are the part that stays longest on the skin.
1981 for Men for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Dior Fahrenheit is a lighter match.
