Description
In the spring of 2017, the fashion house of Guess presents their new pillar fragrance Guess 1981, announced as the most alluring and the most sensual scent from their collection. Described as sophisticated, elegant and graceful, Guess 1981 promises a strong aroma with crisp and clean top notes, fruity-floral heart and woody-musky base.
The top notes of ambrette seed and violet open the composition and make an introduction to the floral-fruity heart of pear, jasmine petals and sandalwood. The base features accord of cedar wood, musk and amber.
Model Emma Stern Nielsen is the face of the campaign shot by David Bellemare. The fragrance is available as a 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

Love this musky pick me up, it’s a nice and refreshing edt.
On me it stays for like 2/3 hours with a bit of a after wiff.
My sister also has it and on her it smells very different, amazing what the ph in skin can do with fragrances ^^

I love the feminine scent of this, it’s not overbearingly flowery, in my opinion. I can smell the Musk which must help make me love this more.

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.

A very light,slightly sweet and clean floral fragrance,this reminds me of Elizabeth Arden pretty but a little bit more on the fresher side,I can see this fragrance being a good everyday fragrance or even a summer one,while I do like this fragrance it’s not my favourite one from guess and that title goes to guess dare which I love but still guess 1981 is a lovely fragrance that I can see myself wearing often.

I recently purchased this perfume. I like it, I don’t love it but it makes for a nice everyday, to the office perfume. Sometime you just want a nice subtle perfume and this fits the bill, without being boring.

This is a light fresh young scent, typical of guess. I don’t understand the 1981 association, but I guess I wouldnt. It reminds me a bit of Abercrombie 8 which was my signature 10 yrs ago, but not as good.

Guess 1981 opens beautifully as a fresh, clean musky floral and brings to mind a number of scents from the 1970’s. The opening reminded me of Coty Muguet du Bois, some soaps of that era, and a shampoo called “Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific!”
Oddly, in the second phase I became a bit anosmic: it seemed to have disappeared. So after only about 15 to 20 minutes, I applied 2 sprays more.
In phase 3, after about an hour, the violet came out. Not a powdery violet, but rather a subtle, slightly tarry violet, as in Pharrell Girl, which happens to be the sort of violet I like!
That was the end of its evolution… Unfortunately, for me the longevity and projection are terrible. I’d love it if 1981 continued as in the opening. Perhaps this will be better-performing in the summer.

I like this scent. I have been trying different Jo Malone perfumes for a few years now. But, I tested this in Allure magazine:) and thought the model was stunning and the scent was interesting. My husband bought it for me yesterday. I was 13 in 1981:and was immediately transported back to my adolescence(think Love’s Baby Soft), lol. Today, though it’s light and pretty. It’s wearing off a bit. I think their marketing people are trying make us middle-aged women fell better about turning 50.

Guess had this fragrance in a silver/purple bottle (I think it was just called Guess?) that this smells almost exactly like (except toned down) It’s just an average clean, fruity floral. Nothing interesting or unique but really beautiful, nice and feminine. I also love the minimalistic bottle :).

This smells good. Smells like a female version of Sean Johns Unforgivable for men. I am surprised no one has commented on that.

Very nice, light, non-offensive, calm, balanced scent. No shrieky notes. Reminds me of another scent, but not sure which. which means it is not groundbreaking. Very pretty though, can’t imagine anyone hating it. This would be a good perfume to buy someone as a gift. Like others have said, this would be a good work perfume.
edit: The more I wear, this could skew as a younger consumer’s perfume.
I would welcome a lotion to accompany this.

I assumed this was a reissue of something from the 90s. It has that vibe from those days. Really youthful and watery floral with a hint of vanilla. Reminds me of Soul Curve, Tommy Girl. My boyfriend sprayed this on himself at Sears and I had to sit through dinner with it on him. It’s pretty bad.

Another new Guess perfume ? I wish they would just relaunch original Guess from 1990.

This is my first guess perfume. I’ve never liked any of the other ones because I found them sweet . Most of them have to much patch or vanilla. This is a balanced scent. Light, airy and fresh. The pear is especially nice, it’s not overly sweet, it’s a bit tart, but the ambrette seed and violet pull it into a creamy powder

I tested it out an hour ago with a single spritz on my wrist. It’s nice, but nothing special. I mainly get violet, musk and pear. It’s very soft and unoffensive. I’d call it a good office scent. As for the description given by Guess of it being alluring and sensual… I don’t get that from the scent but each to their own. And as for ‘sophisticated, elegant and graceful’- yeah, sure, that description kind of fits. I won’t buy it, unless I find it dirt cheap.
tldr; soft, gentle, and simple powdery pear musk for office wear 🙂

BORING! Nothing exciting, unique or special about this. It’s your everyday run of the mill usual scent, Yawn!

I tested it out in a Guess store. Its pretty nice, woodsy floral. What I guess is crisper opening notes and then it unfolds into sweeter floral heart with definite woods base. Its nothing earth shattering but nice if you like that kind of thing

This is already on Guess’s website and on sale for a limited time if anyone is interested. It is an EDT; I didn’t see an EDP concentration.
