Guess Double Dare opens strongly of cedar to me, combined with a sugary sweetness. Within 15 minutes, vanilla emerges. A powdery element follows after the vanilla, veering a bit towards baby powder.
I don’t understand violet leaf being listed, which is supposed to smell like freshly mowed grass or cucumber. I get none of that. If violet *flower* was listed as a note, that would make more sense to me, because I find this woody/powdery, not fresh/melon/green. The only green I can imagine might be from a snapped green twig.
I’m getting a lot of creamy vanilla, sweetness, and woods. I think if you like White Woods by Clean you might like this, or maybe even Hanae Mori by Hanae Mori, but I find Double Dare less fruity than the latter, and the fruit seems more apricot than berries.
Although Double Dare isn’t really my cup of tea, it’s an interesting combination of notes, and it feels well blended and balanced. If it reaches the right audience, I think it might be very popular. Super affordable too.

I like this, it’s a light refreshing fragrance. It reminds me of a cheapie I bought called Wild Heart by Pink Cookie, in fact it’s identical, and similarities to Halston Woman. It has a lovely spiciness to it but it’s not heavy, quite the opposite. Nice to spray on to refresh but not strong enough to wear all day or evenings out without having to reapply every hour! Nothing offensive about this at all, sweet, spicy and warm, all in all nice 🙂

Double Dare is a warm, sweet, ambery scent, suitable for cooler weather. There is also a sweet fruity element underlying this fragrance, which would make me classify this a fruity oriental. There is nothing sharp or screechy in this, nothing woody or spicy. I agree with the poster who said this smells golden. This is smooth, soft and sweet. If scent had a color, this indeed would smell gold.

Rusty smell at first, golden in the middle, and disturbing later on. Not my thing.

Guess Double Dare does smell golden! Great description aqua76239, one which lead me to try (and buy) this underrated gem by Guess. I was completely seduced by “warm cooked fruit in sugar”!
I feel softly spoken vetiver, lightly peppered lychee, rich amber and thick French vanilla custard in Double Dare on my skin. I don’t get the strawberry here, and the white flowers are quiet flowers.
In fact Double Dare on me is reminiscent of a lighter and fruitier (citrus rind) Let It Rock without the weight of the heavy wooden spice rack.
Immensely desirable for the upcoming warmer weather.

I smelled it in Guess store, fell in love with it and bought a gift set with lotion on the spot. Several weeks later, I seen same thing at TJ Maxx for half price! Grrr, I was not happy lol
however, I do like this scent a lot. Its “golden” smelling-to me it smells kind of like warm cooked fruit in sugar, but it then it has warm ambery note and vanilla but it has almost chypre feel to it. Its not your typical fruity vanilla. Warm spicy fruit dipped in vanilla with some citrus peel lol
I think that’s the best I can describe it

Sparkling, girly, cheerful. Intense and pretty. Very fruity but the amber radiates warmth and depth.

This doesn’t smell like fruit at all it smells like musk and patchouli and suprisingly is similar to Britney Spears believe
