Allinug

Oh I thought that I would like this but I don´t. I want it to smell more soft and vanilla than it does on me.

Sissi

The Transistion Fragrance I'm Not a Girl but this is a Very Youthfull Frangrance Way Better when the Original
Formula. it's a Blast of Pears Necterine
i can also smell Musk Plumelia And waternotes Great for Summertime.
the drydown has too much Vanilla
this perfume is one of the ones i like
but not i love because i think it's a little girly girl for me but. it's ok
i give it a 4

Minnija

it is really the same as Britney Fantasy! :))) I don't see differences

Oh no Jillzilla! Try it again! I loved this bottle and found it intriguing enough to buy without smelling it. It is a fabulous burst of sweetness in the beginning that fades quickly and yes, goes through an awkward adolescent chemical like phase. I think that phase is most awkward because it's a transition between the strong sweetness and the spices coming forth and at first they are not a graceful pair. Thankfully that part is short and it comes back around to a softer version of the sweetness it began with. Much like spicy cotton candy. Warm dessert spices, not Middle Eastern dinner fair style. An impulse buy I'm very happy with, not like anything else in my collection.

I should add, lasting power is phenomenal. I put it on almost 8 hours ago and it still smells great!

The top is just slightly off and medicinal probably because of the cardamom. I've found this note is not one of my favorites. Thankfully, it quickly rolls into the sweet floral heart and a boozily seductive caramel cream which is addictive to my nose. The color of this jus matches the scent perfectly. I think it's more of an oriental gourmand than floral fruity. It reminds me a little of With Love, but less powdery.
Definately a winter scent, too heavy for hot weather.
I'll enjoy wearing it for the next few months and then move on....so fickle. C'est la vie.

As someone who loves very sweet fragrances, I was anxious to try this when I saw a tester in Macy's. When it made contact with my skin, I was enveloped in a cloud of sugary caramel and got wafts of a fruity cocktail. My first thought was "When's Happy Hour?". I could never have anticipated how fleeting that thought would be. Suddenly the fragrance made a rapid decent into sharp, synthetic sweetness, and left behind all hope of being able to represent any particular note, let alone group of notes, and all I could think about was finding the nearest restroom to scrub it off. I definitely felt like I needed a cocktail after that experience!

This is one I want to try,.. but have been intimidated to. Yes I don't know why they would catagorize it as fruity floral? When I was in the perfume store and talking to the salesgirl about it, she pulled it up in her computer while looking for things with amber in them. It seems like it's a bit warm for fruity floral?

I might get a sample of it soon. The warmer fragrances are hard to do right. It seems like this might be a bit strong.

As soon as I sprayed this one on all I could smell was chocolate/caramel. I am surprised that it is classified as a floral/fruity fragrance. I could have sworn that it was a soft oriental perfume, hence the vanilla, only a very soft oriental. Not intrusive, not sickenly sweet, good for the office. When I smell my wrist, I can pick up on the vanilla clearly and it has been almost two hours. It does not break the bank and perhaps I would purchase it but there is really nothing special about Guess that would make me purchase it. I would much rather spend my money on D&G The One or Versace's Crystral Noir, their sillage is so much more powerful (and more expensive they are too). But if you are racking your brains for a trendy,sweet but not-in-your-face perfume to buy your 19-year-old niece/girlfriend/sister that would be a good bet. I do not think a perfume really has an age limit but in my opinion, this one would appeal to girls aged 25 and under.

guest_Bechovic

This has been compared to fantasy by Britney. I think they have similar features, but fantasy is heavier and the sweetness in fantasy is more like candy or cupcakes, where this one has a more sofisticated sweetness.
It is also more transparent than fantasy, and has a spicyness about it.. but they do share the same gourmand sweet smell with a fruity edge

Bouquet

This to me is more of a gourmand than a floral-fruity scent. I usually don't ike gourmands, but this is not as in your face and more balanced than some. Good for fall and winter days; very warm and comforting, very good longevity. The caramel (dulce de leche) note is prominent in the drydown. (Men seem to like it, too.) It's on my B-List, not my A-List,as I would classify it as more "homey" than elegant, but that's all right. I bought a bottle for $19.99 at Marshall's, and I'm fine with that.

rainydays

Definitely for somebody who loves sweet smells... fortunately I'm open to that. This evokes thoughts of warm honey and caramel, with something spicy in the background... the cardamom, perhaps? This doesn't blow me out of the water (I don't know if I would have purchased it if it weren't significantly marked down to $20), but I like that it's comforting and feminine. A good choice for cool weather.
PS. My boyfriend LOVES this on me... he went on and on about how great I smell and how I should wear this more often. So I suppose guys must like it.

nanji

"The top notes smell a bit like caramel but then the drydown has something awful that turns it into a bad smell !"

Dina: I get the very same thing - it's the musk that reeks and ruins this. The dry-down reminds me a lot of Bath and Body Works' Brown Sugar & Fig - almost gives me a headache and makes me feel nauseated.

However, when I sprayed this on my wrist, I was wearing my winter coat and it hit the cuff of the sleeve. Surprisingly, there's virtually no trace of the heavy, nasty musk scent on my coat- it's very subdued. So it has to be that musk and my skin just don't work well together. I wonder if it's the type of musk that's used or the volume of it in the composition, because Insolence, Miss Dior Cherie, Rose Essentielle, etc.., have musk in them and they smell great on me. Weird.

The good news about Guess by Marciano is that it gets an A+ for longevity -I can STILL smell the fragrance on the cuff of my coat even after having sprayed it over a week ago. And it does last a long time on your skin - whether you want it to or not! :)

On the whole, this fragrance is nice if you like very sweet fragrances. The top and middle notes are the nicest and most interesting things about this perfume. The base notes are sweet (gourmand), yet common - and, there's the problem of the musk....

danimcneil

I do like this one, but i dont love it. Guess by Marciano smells like 2 of my LOVES mixed. It really does smell like Britney Spears Fantasy and Guerlain My Insolence. So Guess is sweet and ends powdery. Yet its not the more tart sweetness and Fantasy, and not the absolute beaut of My Insolence. I like it. It does last a long long time and the sillage is great. My boyfriend loves it, but i just like it...

Leyla

Guess by Marciano are so stunning. Absolutely beautiful.

But i cannot smell it on myself for more than two or three hours. I hope it`s just fooling my nose to believe it`s gone. I really hope this is the case, as I still have 3.4 oz left of it to spend...

soniamcalear

I adore this perfume!!! One of my top signature scents. My only "Beef" with this scent is it only lasts a couple hours. Ive been told when I ware this that they know im in the room by this scent although I can't smell it on me so in all fairness its probably my nose getting acclimated to this scent and not smelling it anymore. Its a gorgous fruity, creamy smell that is intoxicating to me. One the very best scents ever!

edlina

Very Sexy,Elegant,Bold,Warm and Sweet.. Smell Perfectly Seductive for cold weather. I dont prefer on hot day cause the smell turn so heavy and overpowering... Definitely my Favourite for Cold Weather as its turn few head when u pass by :) ..

mandashell

This perfume is sweet, spicy and sexy! Don't get any of the fruits listed. Just comes across to me as spicy, vanilla-y, creme brulee. This wears well in both hot and cold temps. Lasting power is very good. This isn't the most remarkable scent of it it's kind but it is very nice and deserves to be tried at least once. ;')

Trvevil

Hmm this one smells almost one in one like CH 212 Sexy.

I find that Guess is more sweet and somehow more sultry. Maybe even too sweet. Anyway, I think I prefer CH 212 to this one. But I still don't know which is better. xD

Lasting power and sillage is very good.

tangledvines

Tried this perfume today and really liked it. I had a difficult time choosing just one perfume from a shelf of 40+. It's a very feminine and classy scent, but in the end I went with a different perfume I liked a bit more. Perhaps next time I will snag a bottle of this.

dina

The top notes smell a bit like caramel but then the drydown has something awful that turns it into a bad smell !

simonac

I try it a few days ago, and I'm in love from the first smell :).
It is spicy and sweet, fashionable for this autumn and winter.I really want it.

scenturian

Starts with melon accord. And then dries down into a sweet watermelon which is quite similar to Carolina Herrera Chic For Men.
It is delicious, i like woman smelling like this.

taydev

ok i tried this again and i finally caught on to the fruity grape scents. smells ok but i especially like the drydown where it takes on a warm & powdery vanilla, honey, & caramel smell. to be honest i cant see wearing this in hot weather as it would nauseat my stomach but perfect for days and nights in cold weather fall/winter!

guest_

Mmm... smelled this in a magazine and it smelled like warm spices and sweet honey! Really sexy and different. Can't wait to try this on me.

mmizy

forgot to mention that it reminds me faintly of Amor Amor. They both have jasmine,vanilla, grapefruit and musk

mmizy

I purchased this fragrance unsniffed. to me this smells like suntan lotion and not in a bad way. i definitely smell the citrus note. And then it mixes with caramel, powder and spice. Its interesting. Its is growing one me. A bit synthetic but nice none the less. Best for spring and fall.

guest_

I love it! Sweet and warm... But the body lotion and shower gel aren't good. They smell kinda cheap. But I really like the match with Amber Romance of Victoria's Secret body lotion and shower gel ;)

taydev

wow everyones noses are so different because im not getting anything that resembles citrus. its sweet like caramel and vanilla to me.

taydev

i love it. great for cuddly winters. i like vanilla but this can be a little too sweet for me at times, other times it smells just right. Definetly for wear in the colder months in my opinion.

Adriana_87

Very sexy,i like it a lot.Guess makes very good frags.Warm and exotic with a pretty touch.Will have it sometime!

markRep

Wow I love this one and am very surprised that it is not more popular around here which makes me so happy because may be the the best thing to settle my sweet tooth. Really is hard to offend people with this glowing amber gem of a perfume. My mother who hates perfume even begrudged a compliment.
Others are dead on with words like delectable, confident and sexy.
It is comfort food for the perfume lover. A good level of sweetness and aromas that make you think of favored notes that aren't even there. Yet there is a seamless bridge of depth and lightness. I am crazy for this perfume.

ruxxy

"Guess by Marciano" - a very pleasant surprise! The top notes are a bit fresher than the middle ones, which consist of a nice, sweet and spicy mix. It makes me think of almonds mixed with caramel - sounds overwhelming, but it really isn't; a warm, rich, creamy, a bit woody, but totally delicious and sexy.

This fragrance is amazing from all points of view: VERY long lasting ( after 6 hours of traveling, a shower and an 8 hour sleep, I could still smell the musky base in the morning!), can be worn during both summer or winter, I don't think that someone could find it unpleasant, it is a great value for the money.... and all these come in a beautifully decorated caramel bottle!

guest_ala2739

The perfume is great at first, but by the end of the day it smelled too powdery.

kay_li13

This perfume smells delicious! I'm wearing it right now after spraying it on at a Perfumania store. The sweetness is not nauseating and is balanced well, like a caramel vanilla square candy, however, it isn't very distinguishable and reminds me of several other scents that I have had before, so I probably wouldn't spend the money to buy it.

BluDreamer7806

To describe it simply: this is a deliciously warm, exotic drink. The opening notes are really, really pungent. I definitely smell alot of orange liqueur which is so yummy in the fragrance. There's also a hint of bitterness from the grapefruit. The peonies, sweet jasmine and honeysuckle of the middle notes wraps around your senses as the scent settles. Then the dry-down of the musk and vanilla envelopes you in an intimate embrace. This scent is so exotic and there's some elements of it that are reminiscent of Paris Hitlton's first fragrance, but Guess is much sweeter. This is definitely a keeper. If I could describe this perfume in one word, I'd say "ECSTASY", because that's the feeling it invokes in me. Ideal for Autumn, but bold enough to be worn in the Summer. People, you won't be disappointed with this fragrance.

Mozzygurl

This isn't a review for the fragrance but rather a request for the developers of the site to please, please please add the original guess from the 90s on here? It is my holy grail of perfumes. And in my opinion the best Guess fragrance ever made. Why they would discontinue it is beyond me.

smachica

This perfume starts out very sweet; more floral at the beginning. The drydown leaves a warm carmely, powdery almost musky scent. Wonderful! For a mainstream perfume people always ask what it is.

Amanda79

Theres no denying this perfume has caramel!! The notes for this perfume are a little different than listed..

Star fruit, grapefruit, orange curaçao, cardamom, peonies, pink honeysuckle, jasmine, raw woods, vanilla and dulce de leche (caramel)

On me this is all spicy orange, sweet caramel with a musky jasmine and warm vanilla. Very rich and exotic. I love it! Its tropical enough for summer but warm and deep enough for winter.

Update: I was wearing this today and my mom said mmmm your perfume smells good like chocolate and grapes. haha

sharyssa

I bought a 3.4 oz again and I am giving it another try and so far it smells good! Maybe because I am a cigarette smoker I have trouble smelling perfumes correctly,I don't know but so far so good! Also, I had a 1.7 oz before and now I have the big bottle so I like that better already because I like the biggest size bottle.But it does smell green and I can smell something sweet maybe caramel and a little bit of woodsiness!

tenten

This perfume is ideal for every day wear. It is fresh yet warm and subtle although with enough staying power to carry on through the day. The scent is very caramelly, like the bottle. I will admit it is not the most unique scent out there and something in the heart of the fragrance reminds me of guess gold, but it is still nice and sweet and flirty. If you want to get a perfume that will not offend your co-workers/school mates or give them headaches, or one that you dont want to feel bad about ODing when you're getting ready this is a nice scent. And the price is not bad i paid a lil over $30 for a 50 ml bottle in Canada.

Perfumaniac

The GUESS by MARCIANO fragrance celebrates the power of the fashion-forward woman and was created to inspire glamour and sensuality. This delectable fragrance is united by zesty, invigorating fruits and vibrant florals and then balanced by warm, rounded, woody notes.

ineedavktion

This scent is really warm and comforting. Kind of like a good hot winter drink drizzled with caramel. Not really super sweet, but really enticing.

PolarBear2

I wear it the gym and is okay for summer. Havent tried during winter. But definitely wearable and refreshing, nice mix of floral and citrus leaning more on the floral side, but nothing extraordinary, yet still wonderful and refreshing. The new Cheap and Chic Moschino Hippy Fiz smells so like it, but leaning towards citrusy. Guess is better.

Sterling Maiden

I'm wearing it right now, and it is perfect on a cold winter night. It's extremely rich and warm, and the caramel just makes me want to lick my wrists...just yummy. I also have the shower gel and body lotion, and find that layering adds depth and longevity.

Since it's perfect as a winter fragrance, I wonder what it's going to be like in the summer. Maybe too rich, too warm, too...gooey.

Doesn't matter, it's a long time between now and the heat of summer, and in the meantime, this is going to be visiting my skin quite often.

sjanira

This is such a warm comforting scent. For those who like sweet, warm scents but done right. I love that it smells like caramel without having that actual note. I don't really get the grapefruit at all. The body butter and Lotion are wonderful too, great for layering.

coco76

this is a great perfume for a confident, sexy woman who does not need your approval or attention! a very heady and full perfume that is not for a wallflower but rather a woman who does not mind being the centre of attention. the curacao lends a slight 'booziness' to it, but it is not offputting at all; rather it is like a night of adventure in a city you barely know. i cannot put my finger on it, but something in this perfume reminds me of the 90s...

sham_1983

scent quite related to laura mercier the caramel type (i forgot) .and i love this guess marciano as a collection.

Jeanette

I think this perfume is my signature.
I wear it more and more and feel very sexy and confident while wearing it!
I am really in love with this one and the compliments never stop! A real head turner.
It's a long lasting, warm, sweet and spicy perfume. On my skin, the heart is much like the base and i love that! It's just the musk that breaks througt from the base, not much vanilla on my skin...
I don't know how i better can describe it..? Devine, maby? ;)

Kiwichick_NZ

This is a wonderful scent. Playful and sweet and subtle. A slight citrus/spice at first but the drydown is remarkable. Very pleased. A purchase that will not disappoint.

royallprincess

A warm, girly, creamy vanilla scent. I wore this all summer. It's subtle on me, I forget I have it on after a few hours but it's still there if I catch a whiff of my wrists. I never get comments since it's not unusual enough to be attention grabbing, it just makes me smell nice for my own enjoyment.

Jeanette

I love it. It has depth in it and smells sweet - but not too much, you know? Very, very female.
I think men will fall for it like cats for catnip.

Leukothea

Never tried the fragrance, just the girl on this commercial add looks really stunning. THAT would make me try it definately!

Mado Haddad

It's nice smelling, but not so remarkable for me.. I love Guees gold the most

guest_Pageant girl~!

Guess by marciano is fabulous...I get a plethora of commetns from both Men and women when I wear this fragrance.....A definite repeat!!!!!
