One of the most boring and graceless perfumes I’ve ever tried, period.
There must be something I like about it; I don’t know what it is, but I’m hooked.
I absolutely adore it and love it, although it doesn’t last long on my skin; it leaves no great trail but smells hugely satisfying, clean and elegant.
I love it and am thrilled with it, only that on my skin it lasts very little. It has no great trail, but the scent is immensely satisfying: it smells clean yet elegant.
It lasts all day on my skin, although its projection is low, so I enjoy wearing it for myself; it relaxes me greatly. To be honest, I don’t notice much of the citrus note they mention; it’s a staple in my collection.
It’s not a bad perfume, but it doesn’t last long; ideal for spring or summer days. On me, I only sensed the jasmine and it lasted two hours.
I couldn’t stand it; I liked it at first, then it became sweet, sweet, the sweetest thing that exists. People complain that it doesn’t last long? I could smell it all day and it clung to me so much; I had to give it away because I couldn’t handle that sweet scent.
I’m surprised they say it doesn’t last long; on my wife’s skin it lasts several hours and smells very sexy, whereas on me it smells like peach.
It’s very pretty but doesn’t seem to be of good quality; it vanishes and doesn’t last two hours. What a pity because it smells lovely; I use it for being at home.
It’s very pretty but doesn’t seem up to the quality: it disappears and doesn’t last even two hours. What a shame because it’s a rich scent. I use it for staying at home.
I loved it from the very first moment. The musk and coconut dominate, leaving a subtle scent on the skin. Perhaps the issue is that delicacy: it has almost no longevity and evaporates quickly. What a pity because it smells excellent, intoxicating yet restrained; it makes you smell very good without being overpowering.
I loved it from the very first moment. Musk and coconut predominate, leaving a subtle scent on the skin. Perhaps the problem is that; the smell is too delicate, has little fixation and evaporates quickly. What a pity because it smells excellent, intoxicating and prudent; it makes you smell very well without being overwhelming.
More of the same: a commercial perfume for everyday wear, with very little projection. It’s not ugly, but it seems odd to me with this Guess and the Gold Guess; in the end, its notes settle into a masculine scent. I think it’s a matter of skin type; I can’t detect which note creates that masculinity. It’s a pity for my taste, but it’s wearable for daily use.
Totally agree with Haruna: the bottle is gorgeous and grand, yet for such an austere scent, Guess Dare is disappointing. I really hope an Eau de Parfum version arrives to do justice to the packaging.
This new ‘Guess’ is a bit conventional: it lasts very little and the trail is weak. It smells sweet and commercial, nothing awful, but without character; it neither sparks controversy nor praise. I didn’t detect the coconut, cactus, woods, or tangerine; it fell short. It’s fine for everyday wear, but lacks that sexy, daring touch the advert promised.
More of the same: a commercial perfume for everyday wear with poor projection. It’s not unpleasant, but it feels odd with this Guess and the Gold Guess; they end up smelling masculine, perhaps due to my skin, but I can’t quite identify the note. It’s a pity for my taste, though bearable for daily use.
