1981 Los Angeles Eau De Toilette Cologne Spray for Men, 3.4 Fl. Oz.

I bought this cologne for my son, and he absolutely loves it. He’s very athletic and runs cross-country, so he likes a scent that’s fresh and not too heavy. Guess 1981 Los Angeles has a clean, masculine fragrance that’s perfect for everyday wear—light enough for school or practice, but still noticeable and long-lasting. The spray works smoothly and evenly, with no leaks or mess, which makes it easy to use and keeps things clean. The bottle looks great, and the price makes it an excellent value. Highly recommend for young, active men who want to smell good without it being overpowering.

Let's cut to the chase, this is simply a remixed version of Versace Eros. This isn't a bad thing. It feels like every single fragrance has come out with a clone of Eros. This clone however is unique because it removes the Vanilla and replaces it with Tobacco. This is important because it gives it a more "refined" sweetness that doesn't feel immature nor cloying. Very smooth to the nose, in fact. Los Angeles 1981 also goes heavy on plum in the opening and pepper plus notes of ginger. I dare say this is basically a more perfected version of Eros The spray nozzle is very good and allows for quick, full body sprays. Unfortunately, you will need them because the reason this is a budget fragrance is that it's juice potency is low. What I mean is it's close to being an EDC on terms of potency instead of a more potent EDT. Therefore, instead of getting away with two sprays of Eros, you'll likely need 4-6 sprays of Los Angeles 1981. You can expect 6-10 hours with this fragrance as long as your clothes don't get too humid. Projection is about half of arm length, but sillage is surprisingly good. Trust, people will smell you long after tou leave a room (for better or worse.) Because this is an improvement on Eros, I would say only buy it if you're tired/ran out of Eros. If you have another clone of Eros (like Diesel's Sound of the Brave) you can skip this one. If you want to give Eros to a boyfriend or nephew but don't want to spend the money, this is a cheaper and smell-improved solution.

I’ve been using Guess 1981 Los Angeles for a few weeks now. As a fan of amber and oriental fragrances, I find the scent profile itself to be sophisticated and warm, though there are some practical trade-offs to consider regarding its performance. The opening is pleasant, with a nice blend of plum and black pepper that feels modern and masculine. It has a high-end vibe that punches above its price point. It’s not an aggressive "clubbing" scent; rather, it’s inviting and smooth. This is where the 4-star rating comes in. On my skin, the fragrance lasts about 4 hours before becoming a very subtle skin scent. Its projection is quite intimate; in open or windy environments, it can become almost imperceptible quickly. However, in close-quarter settings like an office, a small meeting room, or a dinner date, this "softness" is actually an advantage as it won't overwhelm the people around you. The 3.4 Fl. Oz. bottle is sturdy and looks great on a dresser. The cap fits securely, and the atomizer provides a fine, even mist. Pros: Very pleasant, non-offensive scent; excellent value for the price; great for office wear or gym use. Cons: Limited longevity (approx. 4 hours); low sillage (doesn't project far); requires re-application for all-day wear. A solid, budget-friendly addition to any collection. It's a "safe" fragrance that smells expensive but performs like a typical Eau de Toilette. I enjoy the scent enough to overlook the short lifespan, though I usually carry a small decant to refresh it midday. I recommend it for men who prefer subtle fragrances that stay close to the skin, or those looking for a versatile "dumb reach" for errands and indoor professional settings.

In the grand tapestry of scents, GUESS 1981 Los Angeles Eau de Toilette for Men stands as a bold chapter worthy of its own epic. From the first inhale, one is transported to sunlit streets and the daring pulse of a city that never sleeps, where ambition and charm intertwine. The fragrance unveils itself with a confident flourish—vibrant yet refined, daring yet undeniably sophisticated. Each note strikes with the precision of a well-planned duel, commanding attention without arrogance. It is the olfactory equivalent of a finely tailored coat and a swift horse, carrying one through the world with poise and audacity. This eau de toilette does not merely linger; it asserts presence, leaving an indelible impression upon all fortunate enough to encounter it. A masterpiece of masculine allure, it is as adventurous as it is elegant, deserving of the highest praise.

Smells great ...Best perfume I have ever bought at an avegare price. It is fresh and smelly. What a fragance

It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a cologne like this. I'm usually a lighter scent guy, but this is a perfect night time winter cologne. It's long lasting, sexy & notiçable, but not too heavy.

Nice and fresh, with a masculine musk that makes it more of a manly choice, over similar scents. Nice bottle size assures there will be plenty to last for quite a while. I enjoy Versace Eros, but it leans to near a feminine scent, whereas the Guess 1981 Los Angeles has that same sweetness, but has more of a manly vibe. I enjoy the look of the bottle and the weight is nice and hefty, but just fits well in the hand for spraying. Atomizer is nice and the wooden cap is a nice touch. Honestly, I wore this the past couple of days and it worked well in the heat, without becoming sour or pungent smelling. I can't wait to wear it again, once the weather cools down, as I do think it is a cold weather scent. This is such a wonderful fragrance at such an incredible price. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy a sweeter scent, but not making you smell like a woman. BUY IT!

Smells feminine mostly and doesn't last very long. The smell is okay though

Prima

Guess 1981 is fresh, smells exactly like Versace Eros. Sweet, pleasant and sexy. Would recommend. Also the bottle is full unlike the Eros. Great product for a great price.

nice fragrance

Va bè, la qualità non si discute. Il TOP x il mio compagno. A brevissimo lo acquisterò nuovamente. Mai più senza 🥰🥰

Ben şansımı denedim hoşuma giden bir koku çıktı. Sıcak ve keyifli bir parfüm, sanki tatildeymiş gibi güneş yağlarının hoş bir kokusu olur, onu hissettiriyor.
