A Safe Fruity Floral
Guess for Women is a really pleasant fragrance, and quite a popular one too. I can certainly understand its appeal.

It's a crisp and feminine fruity floral, that thankfully doesn't smell cheap despite its affordability. I wore this fragrance today, and I must say I was super impressed. It would make a fantastic casual Spring/Summer fragrance.

The fruit notes, (such as, green apple, peach, strawberry and tangerine), are subdued, refreshing and clean on the skin. I had initial fears that Guess for Women would resemble a fruity Escada release, however this was not so. It smelt like a quality shampoo.

I actually tossed up the idea of purchasing a bottle for my own collection, but unfortunately the peony was too dominant when mixed with my chemistry. On other people's skin the magnolia, strawberry and apple are the main notes.

Guess for Women is a really safe fragrance, one that could work well as a blind buy or even as a gift. As it is also quite clean, I'm certain that it'd be quite a compliment getter. Some reviewers have complained of poor longevity, however I got a good eight hours wear out of Guess for Women. I recommend.

Pleasant and soft modern floral
Pleasant, soft, lovely and safe perfume. Guess by Guess is one of those scents that are like an elegant but comfortable outfit in my wardrobe that I love wearing on those days when I want to feel good and relaxed at the same time. The fragrance has a soft and delicate texture that I find soothing but at the same time the scent has style and nice modern ambience. It is discreet, non-intrusive and not aggressive, which makes it an ideal office and daily scent.

The scent opens with a fresh and pleasant combination of crispy apple, citrus and just a hint of strawberry. The composition is not overly sweet but rather invigorating and light. The combination of magnolia and peony is refreshing and enjoyable in the heart notes. The other flowers are not that noticeable on my skin. The scent transforms into a floral musk in the base. The sillage and longevity are medium. I re-apply the scent throughout a day.

The words ‘pleasant’ and ‘safe’ are often used in a negative way for saying that the scent is generic and boring but this is not the case with Guess by Guess. The composition works well. And though the scent is a bit synthetic, it does not ruin it for me. On a contrary, I think it works fine with creating a safe and modern fragrance, which is soft, feminine and pleasant to wear.

So Mainstream
Well, I thought that with such a beautiful bottle, the scent would be something special. But unfortunately, I was mistaken... it resembles those DM fragrances, it is so mainstream, so unobtrusive, so unremarkable, so bland.
I bought it because I am a fan of amber, musk, and cedarwood. But I don't think I'll even get to that point. The magnolia with a hint of ylang-ylang is the dominant note here.
Well, trying makes one wise... and not everything that glitters is gold.

Guess - An Unknown Name in the World of Fragrance
I suddenly find myself the owner of a fragrance I never expected.
Yes, that can happen sometimes.

Thank you, Lile, for this classic scent. I really like it; when I smell it, I just feel good.

I only had a wristwatch from Guess before, and I didn't know they also made perfumes.

However, I don't use Guess because of my silk flower bouquets, as I don't have any, but I enjoy using it myself. I find this fresh-floral-fruity scent very pleasant as an everyday fragrance, rather light, yet still lasting, not too sweet and not too sticky-fruity. Very nicely mild and slightly woody in the dry down.

A very nice perfume for little money and still not a cheap scent. I absolutely have to share the fragrance notes with you so you can imagine what it's like.

Top notes: Green Apple, Bergamot, Wild Strawberry, Mandarin
Heart notes: Peony, Magnolia, Freesia, Peach, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang,
Lily of the Valley, Red Berries
Base: Amber, Musk, Vanilla, Cedarwood

Doesn't sound bad and smells like it too!

I guess perfume didn't work with my body's chemistry, because it was nothing like I've heard it described. It smelled to me like hand soap.

By the look of the bottle ( contemporary ) I wasn’t expecting such a light fruity scent. I like it… not the bottle tho.

If you like Tommy Girl, you might also enjoy this one. However, it's a bit softer and sweeter. Still, a pleasant scent.

This is a lovely scent for mainstream girls like me. Delicious-fresh and irresistible, especially when everyone on the train smells bad in 30-degree heat!!!

To me, this perfume simply smells like a high-quality body lotion. Over time, you notice certain fruity notes in the scent.

Reminds me of Tommy Girl in terms of freshness, just much softer. Delicate spring scent, very suitable for everyday wear, no headache potential.

After a fruity-sour start, sweet, rich floral notes follow, until the scent fades sweet-woody. A good summer mainstream fragrance!

Deliciously fruity, floral, fresh... Initially a strong apple scent, but very natural, not synthetic at all...

A very pleasant floral scent, perfect for spring. The longevity is also very good for this price range.
