The GUESS bottle is lovely. It has an interesting shape with a climbing vine and blossom on it. Pretty. I liked the fragrance more than my daughters did, but I think they were blinded by thoughts of smelling like Jessica Simpson. What do those kids know anyway?  It’s a sweet scent, but not too sweet. It has a nice spiciness to it and a spicy scent is what I enjoy best.

Here’s the note breakdown………

Top Note: Star Fruit, Curacao Orange, Cardamon, and Grapefruit

Heart Note: Pink Honeysuckle, Peony, Crystal Jasmine

Base Note: Musk, Vanilla, Dulce de Leche, Blonde Wood

Paul Marciano, CEO of GUESS?, Inc, explains the intention behind the fragrance, “This new fragrance represents the company’s pioneering history by preserving the traditional feminine persona and then combining it with the unexpected.”

Fragrance Review: GUESS by Marciano

Wow, remember Guess? Jeans?  I would have figured that there were already 10 scents launched somewhere between 1982 and 1987.  But the surprise is that this spicy-floral is actually quite nice!  The floral isn’t too sweet or heady, it’s spiked with tropical/citrus, and there’s quite a cardamom vibe going on in the base.  I also love the fishnet-wrapped bottle with the sassy, tattoo-inspired floral design.  It’s supposed to be available at Macys.com, but the website must be sold out.  If it’s popular, that bodes well, no?  It is still available at the Guess website, $65 for 3.7 oz edp or $49 for the smaller 1.7 oz.
