Guess 1981

I've had this for the last two plus years. Yesterday I noticed that it was getting low and I'm moving and trying to get my collection smaller in order to not have to pack so much glass with only a little juice left. I had originally gotten it in spring of 2020 and really liked it, I used it very often when I first bought it. As most fragrances something happens that moves it out of my general rotation and I end up rediscovering it. I must say I really thought that 1981 LA was my favorite out of the 1981 line, until yesterday and this very moment. Maybe it's that it's the coolest temp I've ever worn it in or maybe the fact that I'm wearing a large over sized knit sweater, I'm not sure. One thing I am sure of though is that it's longevity and sillage is way better than I first experienced. It got my attention so much that I felt I should jump on here and say if you see this at a Ross or Marshalls any of those places it's worth grabbing. It isn't generic imo. Just felt like I needed to come rep this frag because I didn't realize just how much I actually love it. ❤️✌️

This has been my signature during the last year. I love its freshness and violets are my favorite when it comes to flowery fragrances. Can't get enough of it! The longevity is typical of an EDT, which means it's not huge, but perfect for everyday wear. I also like Guess Girl Belle, which is perhaps a more complex fragrance. Guess 1981 doesn't develop too much on my skin and this is convenient for me when I want to smell good but I don't want my perfume to be noticed by everyone that passes me by. I think I can call myself a Guess fan thanks to this fragrance. As much as I love sensual, heavy, spicy perfumes as Dior Addict or D&G Sicily, I turn to Guess 1981 when I wear a summer dress or even an office suit in springtime. I'll keep the vanilla and spicy fragrances for fall-winter and nightwear. Guess 1981 makes me feel young, happy and feminine. Try this fragrance, it may be the beginning of a lifelong love story.

This was a quasi blind buy for me. I tested the strip in a magazine and was intrigued...so when I received an Amazon gift card for Christmas this year, I figured I purchase it and try it out. I am in love with this fragrance! To me it's a breath of fresh air in a bottle :) I find it to be light, airy, and the dry down on me is a floral sweetness in the most feminine and romantic way I have experienced from a fragrance! I feel it is great for use at the office/school, and I can really see this as a day into night one too... It's like that kind of scent that can go from being a professional woman to a romantic and seductive woman in the same day :) With the price being pretty decent (I bought for $19.99 U.S. dollars on Amazon for the big bottle!) I would suggest it to be a pretty safe purchase if you want to give it a try :) Enjoy!

Guess 1981 is cool, fresh, clean violet musk -- quite unisex -- with a touch of pear for sweetness. It has the freshness of almost a celery or parsley note -- must be the violets! -- and they and the musk dominate. It's beautiful when I don't feel like anything super-sweet, strong, or floral. It's a soft scent that lasts, with minimal projection, for about 3 hours; I still need to try layering it over iso e super to see if that improves the longevity. It's classy, clean, and cozy, perfect after an evening shower or at any time you don't want to overwhelm yourself or anyone else with your perfume. It's reminiscent, to my nose, of a lower-key, simpler version Guerlain Apres L'Ondee, with its cool, damp violets. Very pretty...

Rather than comparing this to Mojave ghost I’d rather compare it to glossier you, (even bbw if you musk which is very sharp) this is a bit less sharp, But this is very faint smell lovely in my opinion. Violet, MUSK something faintly sweet maybe pear or if cut pear and put it in water that’s the smell I get. It has that water quality to it. It’s smooth, and musky and clean and sweet. If it only had sillage and longevity but I don’t think it’s supposed to be enjoyed like that. It won’t smell good if it were cloying. This is a clean crisp white shirt type of fragrance. It’s a thought. That’s it. It’s not supposed to last. I miss it and keep reapplying it.
