Boring. Smells just like fifty other perfumes: wood, spices, and citrus. On top of that, the longevity is ridiculous. I sprayed it twenty times, and after 30 minutes, it’s gone. I wouldn’t recommend it or buy it again.
I tried it at Mall Zofri and found it pretty conventional. I think after a few missteps, especially with its female counterpart, Guess finally nailed it this time.
Dare Guess is a nice perfume—woody, floral, musky, with a spicy touch. The scent is common, but it smells rich; it’s that clean style like classic Eternity, some Tommy Hilfiger, or Polo Sport. It feels a bit more modern than the previous ones, but still in that family. It’s one of those safe bets, perfect for gifting or blind buying because it’s inoffensive and usually pleases almost everyone. Plus, Guess perfumes are affordable, and their longevity and projection are decent or even better than pricier options. Great for all seasons.
