Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
One of the most boring and soulless 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 love it and adore it, only that on my skin it lasts very little. It doesn’t have great sillage, but the smell is extremely satisfying: it smells clean yet elegant.
I absolutely love it. It doesn’t last long on my skin and leaves little of a trail, but it smells incredibly satisfying, clean, and elegant.
It lasts all day on my skin, though the projection is low, so I enjoy it for myself; it really relaxes me. Honestly, I don’t notice much of the citrus 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 smelled the jasmine, and it lasted two hours.
I couldn’t handle it. I liked it at first, but then it turned sweet, sweet—the sweetest thing ever. People complain it doesn’t last? I smelled it all day, and it clung to me so much I had to give it away; I just couldn’t deal with that sweet scent.
I’m surprised they say it doesn’t last long; on my wife’s skin, it lasts quite a few hours and smells sexy. On me, it smells like peach.
It’s very pretty but doesn’t seem high quality; it fades and doesn’t last two hours. What a pity because it smells delicious; I use it for staying at home.
It’s very pretty but doesn’t seem high quality: it fades 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 first moment. Musk and coconut dominate, leaving a subtle scent on the skin. Maybe the problem is that; the smell is too delicate, with almost no sillage and it evaporates quickly. What a pity because it smells excellent, intoxicating, and restrained; it makes you smell great without being overwhelming.

What a pity because it smells excellent, intoxicating, and refined; it makes you smell great without being overwhelming.
More of the same: a commercial daytime perfume with very little projection. It’s not ugly, but it feels strange with this Guess and the Gold Guess; in the end, their notes settle into a masculine scent. I think it’s just the skin type; I can’t pinpoint 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, but for such an austere scent, Guess Dare is disappointing. I hope an Eau de Parfum version comes out to do justice to the packaging.
Same old stuff: a commercial perfume for everyday wear with poor projection. It’s not bad, but it feels odd with this Guess and Guess Gold; they end up smelling masculine, maybe due to my skin, but I can’t identify the note. It’s a pity for my taste, though manageable for daily use.
This new ‘Guess’ is a bit conventional: it lasts very little and the sillage is weak. It smells sweet and commercial, nothing bad, but without character; it doesn’t spark controversy or praise. I didn’t notice the coconut, cactus, woods, or tangerine; it fell short. It’s fine for everyday wear, but lacks that sexy, bold touch the ad promised.
