Guess Type 3: Tobacco & Amberwood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Type 3: Tobacco & Amberwood opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Tobacco, settles into a heart of Rose, Saffron, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Guess's Type 3: Tobacco & Amberwood carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a real marmite scent. Some find it a photorealistic, smoky tobacco dream at a bargain price, while others recoil at its 'pickle' or 'old books' aroma. Not for the faint of heart, or those hoping for a straightforward crowd-pleaser.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its strong tobacco character, make it less suitable for formal or office settings where subtlety is key. It's best reserved for cooler evenings and casual or date scenarios where its warmth and unique profile can be appreciated without being overwhelming.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Opens with a bold, almost pipe-like tobacco, backed by a hint of bright bergamot and mandarin that quickly recedes. The heart reveals a warm, spicy saffron and a subtle rose, softening the tobacco's edge, before settling into a rich, sweet base of creamy vanilla, tonka bean, and smooth sandalwood, grounded by a lingering musk.
