Sometime in the mid 90's,I remember having tested Guess before I approached the cashier, a young male. His eyes got big as I approached and he asked me what I was wearing adding, "I LIKE it." My husband standing next to me hadn't said a word except, "Buy it." I'd almost forgotten how it smelled until I saw how Spark reminded some reviewers of it. I'd seen a 3.4 oz. bottle of Spark EDP selling at flea market for $40, but vendor offered to come down to $25 (slow day, rough economy). Read Fragrantica notes and reviews, went back and bought it. Does it remind me of Guess? I can't remember, but I'm crazy about Spark and so is my husband. Thanks, Fragranticans.
This stuff was really nice. If I can recall properly, it was ambery, syrupy and fruity. However it was balanced with some dryer notes, unlike a lot of syrupy fruity fumes of today. In early fall it would cause yellowjackets to relentlessly pursue me.
Just got a mini of the parfum and it smells spicy, warm, and rich. It has that Obsession 'vibe' without being too cloying. If you can find a mini on the cheap, I'd say it's a must-try!
my aunt had this..i always wished to smell like her..i must have been like..9 yrs old...the bottle was sooo pretty to me..and that smell...ahhh..heaven
I really wish they still made this,
It one of my favorite perfumes of all time to date ,
and I wish I would have considered the fact they may dis-continue it - so I cuuld have hoarded bottles of it ;-) but really it is a shame they seem to do this with all the most wondeful perfumes
This was the perfume I wore as a young bride. I love it. Where has it gone? It is a perfume of love, romance, beauty, sensuality, sexiness and promise.
I miss it:(. Please bring it back, Guess!!!
I'll be the first in line to buy it!!! Hehe.
If it's true it was discontinued because it stained clothes, that is a pity..I mean Givenchy Organza is still being made. What's the problem here? Just don't spray it on clothing then and roll up your sleeves like when spraying any other fume! I didn't have any problems with staining with the Guess. Perfume is supposed to be applied to the skin, not on clothing anyway. Too bad people complained about that. Relaunch this fume please:D.
I also had this one in the 90's. In my opinion, it was very different from others in that decade, but similar to an 80's beauty called Daydreams (by Maybelline). The oakmoss/chypre was the magic in both fragrances. I received tons of compliments. Guess was so desireable, infact, that a girl who babysat for me (not for long) stole it. The fragrance was so distinct that another girl in the neighborhood smelled it on her during gym class and told me. I called the junior high gym teacher, and got it back! Sadly, there was less than a quarter of the bottle left. Please bring it back, Guess!
sexy
I adore this fragrance, I have a tiny version of it which I keep boxed & tightly sealed, in a dark cool cupboard, and I indulge myself occasionally with a stolen sniff!
Please, please, please bring this back guess, you are nearly getting there on the packaging alone on the latest offering (seductive??)...
One can but hope....
This one is surely missed! By many I see,including me.
Come on Guess! Stop bringing out mundane repeats of stuff we've smelled before. This little gem was a knockout and deserves to be revived. She deserves to be appreciated by a new generation.
UPDATE: I just scored me a vintage bottle of this at an unbelievable price!!!!! So happy! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. She's mine. All mine. My precious!
I sure miss this one. I remember getting a lot of compliments on it. I remember the scent being a little bit powdery but also spicy. I think I started wearing Guess when I ran out of Opium.
One of the fun things about Guess was when someone would ask, What are you "wearing?" and you would reply Guess-lol It was like that old "Who's on First" joke.
The last time I could find it in a store was 1998 and I paid 9.99 at T.J. Maxx. I wish I had known this would be discontinued and stocked up. I think I would be happier to have a case of this than a bar of gold. I actually think it would be worth more.
IT WAS MY FIRTS PERFUME!!! I loved it :)
My all time favorite. I've never been able to find a fragrance that even comes close to this sexy delicious scent. It does bring me back to the 90's. To me, it's synonymous with the glamorous aspect of that era. It's sweet and powdery and fruity and sexy and edible, and so much more, all at the same time! If I could wish only one discontinued fragrance back, it would be this one. I love it that much.
Ohh, I remember this one. I think this was the first perfume I ever owned. I used to bathe in it to go to the roller-skating rink in middle school. Memories...
I would like to buy this perfume. My older sister sent this to my mother when she worked at Macy's and about 15 other perfumes. I hid this one and used it until it was nothing but a corner of it by the time she found it, it was a corner left. Does anyone have this at a good price. Certainly I miss this scent, but $425.00 is out of the queestion.
Very powerfull scent like all the 90`s scents.Very good for lovers of the classics scents,not quite my type.Yes it smells a bit like ck obssession but i think its more elegant not that animalistic.So it isnt that unique but a nice choice if you like that type of scents.It is very rare to find so if anyone is interested in it,i am selling my bottle of it.Just pm me:)
My mom had this when I was younger... Never could tell the difference between this one and Obsession...Now that I'm older and wiser, I notice that they share many of the same components...
Oh yes, the 90's! Thanks Fragrantica for adding this truly beautiful and now very rare beauty!:-)
I'm just walking down memory lane…..
Picture this: 1990, summer, 11 pm around 28 c (but nicely windy coming from the beach) me and my friends having some nice "Margarita's on the rocks" at the "Clevelander" at Ocean Drive, South Beach!
Just one sniff brings me right back to these wonderful times in my early 20this. Back then, I was an "au-pair" living in Key Biscayne (another beautiful place) and live could not get any better….. ;-)
It was the time of the "super models" and South Beach just started to get a name in Fashion shootings. Claudia Schiffer was "the face" of Guess, all made up like the beautiful Brigitte Bardot, and the fragrance just smelled like her: veeeeeeery sexy!
The fragrance starts at first very spicy and strong, I do not get much of the citrus top notes, but shortly settles into a gorgeous, jasmine, orange flower with vanilla middle note. The base is adding a touch of sandalwood, amber and musk. I can smell some civet too, but it seems not be listed. To me it is more spicy than floral …thus, makes this perfect "Spicy Oriental" fragrance!
Rumour has it, that the fragrance got discontinued because it stained clothes….what a pity this is!
Just a couple of month ago I was lucky enough to get my hands on a new 3.4 oz bottle here in Switzerland for a very cheap price! On the internet you still can find this fragrance if you are willing to pay $ 425.00 for a 3.4 oz bottle.
If you happen to find this one for a reasonable price, go get it! It is truly a beautiful fragrance for all of you who love strong and spicy fragrances like "Fendi" or "Obsession"….
