Two of the more popular inexpensive fragrance choices for men are made by Guess under the Seductive title. The original Seductive Homme has been one of my favorite cheap wears for the last couple of years or so and as such I was curious to see how its flanker fragrance, Seductive Homme Blue stacked up against it. Which of these two scents smelled better? Did they perform equally as well? Is one worth a buy or should they simply be bought as a package deal? In this post, I want to continue my cologne comparison series, by taking a look at the Guess Seductive line.
Which Guess Cologne is Better Seductive Home or Blue?

Opening
The opening of the original Seductive Homme is rich and warm with noticeable tones from the cardamom milk and pink pepper notes contained within. It is actually very nice and pleasant. Blue, on the other hand, is soft, aquatic, powdery, and slightly spicy.
I was really digging Blue from the initial spray, as it had such a unique quality to it. I like both but Blue really drew me in much more. I’ve had a bottle of Homme for years, but Blue took the cake.
It is much like La Nuit by YSL, but with an underlying aquatic aroma. The cardamom note here, gives it the similarities, but it has a powdery aquatic vibe. Blue is actually pretty unique, as a scent, not super oceanic but does have that marine touch.
Edge: Blue
Projection
Seductive Homme is pretty moderate projection wise, though, it can fall towards the heavy side when oversprayed. Blue is a very light fragrance, actually, too light in my opinion.
Seductive Homme is also more stable throughout the wear, while Blue starts to decline pretty rapidly with its sillage. Seductive Homme really wins this round easily.
Edge: Seductive Homme
Longevity
This is where the separation really becomes noticeable. I get a solid 6 hours or so of wear out of Seductive Homme, when I use it.
Blue just fails pretty miserably here, light sprays become a skin scent within 45 minutes or so, but it can do ok when more is applied. If you go heavy with the sprays, maybe 2-4 hours of wear.
It’s a shame that Seductive Blue has such bad longevity. Homme isn’t amazing, but for the price it is very good, and perfectly fine for most situations you’d have to wear it in.
Edge: Seductive Homme
Versatility
If Blue lasted longer, it’d probably be more versatile. Seductive Homme isn’t that great during the summer, as the humidity and heat does a number on its scent.
Blue is a soft, powdery, aquatic that seems to have a greater range of uses but its longevity holds it back. Seductive Homme, during the rest of the year is great. It works well for younger guys to wear casually or out on a date. It is attractive, just not superb during the hottest days.
Edge: Seductve Homme
Overall Scent
I honestly think that Seductive Homme Blue, smells better than the original. I really like both but Blue is just more appealing to me. That said, the longevity issues damage its case as the better fragrance.
If they had made Blue more intense and with even a few hours of better performance, I’d give it the win. Honestly, it’s really inexpensive, so getting a hold of a bottle wouldn’t be the worst thing.
Seductive Homme smells wonderful and it is a solid performer. When you can buy a bottle for under $20, it becomes a clear choice for those seeking an inexpensive casual scent.
Winner: Seductive Homme

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
