I use this one to layer with my light Blue. without it, light Blue smells like lemon pledge. Together its delightful!

This smells really pretty… unfortunately it only lasts an hour or two before the scent is completely gone so it’s not even worth buying.
qyc576speagoessenda – :
I purchased this already several times. This is a very pretty smell , if you don’t like florals then this won’t be ideal for you. This blends well with my skin & projects well on myself. It has a very soft alluring essence to it which I do like a lot. I love having this one in my collection & do reach for it once in a while , although I do have to be in the mood for it. This isn’t my ultimate fave or anything but smells very youthful & lovely. I receive compliments on this fragrance, it is everyday casual safe, don’t overspray this tho. My fave out of all the guess fragrances it has a peachy undertone aswell would make a pretty summer perfume.

Fresh out of the shower and I chose to put this one on and I am pleasantly surprised! It smells so fruity, floral and fun and I keep sniffing my wrist to get another whiff of it. I sit here thinking “This smells familiar…what is it??” Then it hits me! This could be the beautiful love child of Curious by Britney Spears and Paris Hilton by Paris Hilton. Both of which I proudly own and wear often. Maybe this is just me and my crazy scent perception but to me this is soooo good.
SheendBypenna – :
I love raspberry notes and this one has that. I really enjoy wearing it on a sunny outing.
myzoska – :
Very plain…nothing special.

This is one of my favourite smelling perfumes as soon as i smelt it i instantly loved the smell of it… its not to badly priced a negative for me at least anyway as it does not last on my skin so i need to use alot of it so which would end up in spending alot of money to keep up using it…
Ratings out of 10

The top notes were nice and I’m usually a sucker for white floral but the drydown was sharp, unsubtle and incredibly cheap smelling. I got it half off and it was cheap to begin with so…I don’t know what I was expecting…
Something in a similar price range would be Pacifica. I feel like Pacifica scents are cheap but have a touch of class and complexity that this perfume misses by miles.

I got a sample with some purchase months ago. I opened the sample today and I liked it a lot. A girly cute unpretensious scent (slightly sweet, non gourmand).
seokasergas – :
This perfume is a prime example of why I can’t always listen to the majority of the reviews who rated it forgettable lol
I personally really like it bordering on loving it & I’ve never been the one for lighter, floral, fruity scents. I myself usually prefer warmer, deeper scents. Guess Girl to me would’ve been better named Guess Lady. It’s got that scent that if you smell it downwind from someone you instantly turn around & smile & have to ask what they’re wearing. To me it has something very Clinique Happy-esque about it. It’s a charming, sparkly, luminous & clean perfume. Don’t let the inexpensive price tag or name fool you 🙂
Meajc330bedyWelty – :
This is a powdery, fruity floral and sweet inoffensive/safe perfume . Is very light and easy to wear . Not a smell to be remembered by but is definitely a casual smell . And being so cheap you don’t regret buying it and spay it on to give the more expensive perfumes a break :))
emercom83 – :
i love this, its so powdery, floral and sweet not to mention affordable. i love it when you can layer a perfume easily with other bath products i layered this with passion struck by victoria’s secret,,,it may seem like a weird combination but it worked!
louidor – :
I’d describe it as fruity floral, inoffensive/safe, light, and easy to wear as an everyday scent. It’s very fresh smelling, so I like to put it on straight after a shower, and it’s refreshing on hotter days too.
Only problem? It smells and wears more like a body mist. It’s very watery and weak. Pretty fragrance, but the lasting power is rubbish. Luckily it was only cheap, because I am getting through my 100ml bottle very fast from having to re-apply it so much. Further to this, it’s only the top notes that really smell any good. The dry down is pretty plain (if you can even still smell it by that point). 4/10 will not be repurchasing.
Lapockaxxx – :
Because it is cheap, I am not gonna blame its dry down smells really plastic.
4ba9lta3zar – :
There are certain perfumes that I consider as “fad fragrances” You know, its from a known brand like “Guess” or possibly “Bebe” and when you take a whiff of it, definitely its not for you. This one is just that.
Its a pretty frag, that is sure, but everything is ensconced in that high alcohol/water. None of the notes really get to me. It is for a young girl, someone in their teens.I am mystified sometimes because “Bebe” and “Guess” have these gorgeous bottles for these sub par perfumes.
To those that love “Guess Girl” and its for you, there is something for everyone. But, I’m with the ones which say “Guess Girl is not my something” I’ll risk not having a popular review for telling the truth.
GlultDattmawl – :
Makes good chemistry with my skin and I like it a lot. For the first sniff I just got raspberry with a hint of a melon. After few hours it left just lily and orchid. Fortunately, no vanilla. I was suprised, because I was expecting something more “girly”. And it lasts really long on my skin.
seaflanker – :
Very nice office appropriate for everyday wear. It’s a nice scent, fruity, floral n sweet but agree it’s not too sweet. I don’t see it as girlish bubblegummy which i would expect but more of a office/school appropriateness.
Andriadel – :
Smells so much like the Delicious Hot Pink that I already have, I don’t need this one.
Update: This is like a Disney Princess perfume in the start, fresh violety floral. The drydown is the all too familiar fizzie, harsh perfume. Almost masculine.
kks532speagoessenda – :
Fades away quickly on me….nothing special to me,I will buy expensive Italian or France made perfume, they usually smell better and stay longer!
grizliTagil – :
This scent is perfect for the office , omg I love it . It sorta reminds me of oh Lola by Marc Jacobs even though it’s totally different. If you can’t afford oh Lola you might be happy with this until you can afford it lol. It smells floral and fruity to me, not to sweet, I’m coating it to pink sugar so off course it won’t be sweet to me. Reminds me of spring. Dammit I’m running through this fragrance like water. Love it.
miladka – :
I smelled this fragrance at sears and it didn’t leave an impression on me. It’s not a bad fragrance, just nothing I’d buy. It’s a pretty blah, fruity floral scent. I much prefer Guess Girl Belle to the original.
zero_502 – :
I got this one as a gift about a year ago with the body lotion and, I must say, it is really lovely. I wouldn’t say this is a very unique scent at all, but it’s a very girly fresh fragance.
It opens really fresh and fruity, obviously from the raspberry and the melon; I also get something almost citrussy, which I’m guessing is the bergamot. Then I get some of the floral notes, but this is not a heavy floral at all, it’s actually like a soft fuity floral. I don’t know if I get the orchid though, since it’s a note that usually smells quite “creamy” to me and there’s nothing creamy about this one. I would also almost ignore the vanilla, since the base is not a really sweet vanilla base either. It projects pretty well, but it doesn’t last for a very long time.
Overall, this is a really pleasant fragance that you could wear to work, etc. without offending anyone. It’s fresh and fun, but I could see a more grown woman wearing this daily as well. I like it!
VentBotogor – :
i like this but not love it. it is a girly smell. i think of the adjective is… gentle. so i wear it to my office everyday but it lasts short and disaapear before lunch.
the bottle is lovely, in pink, floral, girly, the smell is a bit powdery actually.. good to wear to work coz i think it can be easy acceptable.
and i bought it cheap, just spent US$20 with 100ml and a body lotion.
yamakasiz – :
Mmmm not sure, I ended up taking this back its not me, kinda has a sharp sweet smell I’m no expert by any means but this perfume is just too sweet, edit I ended up purchasing it again! And it is pleasantly nice and girly not my favourite but different from the others I own.
Demon2010 – :
My signature will never change but i usually wear this to work and choral practice. Its light enough to not offend anyone. basically i wear this as a go to smell.
silage is heavy on me but the lasting power is moderate.
my signature is actually kim kardashian’s first perfume (don’t judge me..I didn’t want it to happen but it did unintentionally.smh)
lk7777 – :
I adore guess girl so juicy sexy feminine !!!!! One of my faves :)))))
delpher2008 – :
I’m halfway through a bottle and still don’t know how I feel about this one. The fragrance itself is nice – however theres just one note in there somewhere that cheapens/waters it down, and the staying power isn’t exactly amazing.
Nightdweller – :
I agree with Shoshii’s review below.
Just because a mass coperation decides to make a frag, uses ridiculous marketing terms like “sexappeal and youthful spirit of the brand” doen’t mean the juice has to be so….forgettable.
Honestly that is the best word to describe this EDT….along with “inoffensive”, “watery melon”, and “blah.”
Seriously, I know that not everyone wants to wear a strong statement perfume every time of the day. But why oh why did so many big brands apparently decide to put their heads together and go “the girl/woman in our target demographic wants to smell like a watered down melon! ”
Honestly, I thought that all the sugary fruity florals floating around were bad (not awful, just in the sense of the sheer number of them versus creative perfumes where actual plants were sacrificed.) But at least my Polly Sweet Treats by Ted Baker smells like a yummy juicy peach, if still to “sugary” for my tastes. Better than this watered down sad excuse for a frag.
I used to steer clear of EDT, preferring the stronger staying power of a good perfume, but this site has changed my views somewhat. I have discovered some lovely EDT’s, Celine Dion’s Sensational being among them. But Guess Girl does not even deserve the title of an EDT. I’ve owned Victoria’s Secret body sprays that smelled much better and lasted longer!
1 star from me, which is only for the bottle alone, which is gorgeous but obvious a rip off of Marc Jacob’s perfumes. Oh well, at least I only sprayed this from a store tester, nothing ventured nothing gained. My fragrance journey continues…
viktor11130 – :
I get why Guess promotes this as a younger girls’ perfume, but I don’t believe an older woman cannot wear it. But it “fits” better to a playful kind of woman-girl. In my skin, I can only smell the flowers and not the fruits (with the eception of the bergamont), and although I don’t like that much flower perfumes (with some exceptions) this one is a good one. It smells something between J’adore and Escada Joyful and after 7-8 it smells as 1881 does. It shares some common notes after all. The sillage is moderate and the duration is about 8-9 hours. I find a good hit if you find it on offer. Here it costs something close to 40 euros. :S
Melanie_fromAF – :
my bf got me this about a year ago. didnt like it at first since i found it too sweet and floral. but when it dies down i find it feminine and pleasant. not for ppl who dislike strong sweet scents.
asid78 – :
Extremely light slightly sweet inoffensive fruity floral. It was so light I could barely smell it. Pass.
sanike – :
I find it very simple and girly. It somehow reminds me of disney princesses.
I find it suitable for girls who wear a lot of pink and enjoy to be in the center of attention. But in a girly way, not in a grown up way.
The scent is okay, not very delicious and amazing, but just fine. Fortunately the raspberry is not very sweet.
I think it’s lacking sophistication and elegance.
It’s preppy and trendy, it ain’t classic or luxurious.
maximusaltai – :
I think Guess Girl is a suitable perfume for work. It smells fresh, aquatic, fruity and a little bit sweet. Great perfume for spring, but I can see me wearing this perfume all year round.
The notes are perfect together. I’m a big fan of the base notes, obviously – vanille and sandalwood combine great together. But the top and middle notes are fine too. Very fruity, soft and fresh. Definitely one of my favorites for a work day, or just on a sunny spring day.
kulikov_evgen – :
This would be a nice scent if it lasted longer on the skin. I see notes of melon and raspberry listed, however, I don’t detect them in the fragrance. Perhaps because the floral notes, orchid and lily are more dominant in this fragrance. Maybe this scent is better suited for the summer, I’ll give it a another try during the warmer months, to see if the scent lingers. It’s a nice scent, but nothing really special. Just another floral fragrance. I don’t think I’d plan on re-purchasing again. Luckily I only paid 40 bucks at TJMaxx.
WrigoromDam – :
This fragrance is really fresh and fruity. I definitely get the “aquatic” vibe in this, as this perfume reminds me of hot summer days by the pool. It’s girly and sweet and it also makes a great “fresh out of the shower” scent. Being an Eau de Toilette, lasting power isn’t that great, but that’s alright because this fragrance is quite affordable. Overall, Guess Girl is a pretty, light scent that can be worn daily, especially in the warmer months.
ForameryWar – :
Also one of my fav fruity sweet girly guess style . I can wear it each day so light and fresh
Owersmalls – :
If you like fresh, fruity, candy like perfumes then this is a great deal. It’s flirty smelling and really good for everyday wear. I consider this more for a sweet and sexy WOMEN than for a girl.
Good for spring/ summer and for that price I will definitely consider buying another one when my bottle is empty.
jekas1 – :
I just wanted a simple fun flirty raspberry scent so when I saw this on sale for $30 for 100ml, I couldn’t pass it up! It’s nothing unique but it’s fun, girly and fruity and sweet. The raspberry is definitely prominent but I also get the melon and orchid. But it also definitely has a ‘shampoo’ vibe going on.
It’s a great casual every day scent.
kovalyov_me – :
Pleasant perfume. I bought a gift set to give as a Xmas present, when I saw it for a good price.
My friends is a fan of these fruity florals , so I hope she is happy with it and will wear it! She seemed happy enough with it. We all had a sniff and agreed that the scent was familiar , we think it smells like Marc Jacobs “Daisy”. Light , fruity , clean and uplifting smell.
In fact I really like the scent , and I am going to see if the shop has any more of these sets left so I can get one for myself. . . If so I will put it away and use it when we get some milder spring weather.
Quite a good buy if you want something thats a “designer name ” but cant afford to spend too much. ( MJ Daisy is 4 times the price !!)
PS – not just girls!! My friend is in her 30s same as me and she wears a lot of these type of ‘fumes , as do i in summer .
vovik82 – :
This scent is not something I would usually gravitate towards to, but it reminds me of /something/ in my childhood I can’t quite put my finger on. That’s why I had to actually go and buy the perfume, to wear it on those lazy summer days when I can be nostalgic.
It’s a light fruity floral, so I doubt it will offend anyone’s nose. If you’re into those kinds of scents you might just fall in love!
link31390 – :
I tried this once at the store and was very tempted to buy it, the top note is a lovely peach smell, very promising I said to my self, however it dries down to a complete different note, it becomes sweet and too familiar to my nose, like I’ve smelled it before but can’t point out the exact perfume. It’s disappointing how the peachy note fades so quickly, I’d buy it if it was peachy all the way.
35stalker35 – :
Nice and pretty, light. Fruity and a bit exotic. I like it.
life8 – :
It’s nice. That’s pretty much all I can say about it. I could wear it, definitely. I’m almost 40 but then again, I do not believe in perfumes & age limits :>
Деня – :
I like this one to me it smells similar to escada sexy graffiti that i dont like because i find it to sour. This one is light but sweet fruitcandy+flowers. Im 34 and i like this so i dont think that it only fits with women in their twenties.
igor8063 – :
The initial spray gives off a citrusy, floral smell with a touch of powder. After a period of time, the powder scent overshadows the citrusy notes. The scent is light, and fades rather quickly. Lovely fragrance, but I don’t think I will purchase again in the future.

Alexanna 7: I am so glad I read your review! Normally, when I read some such nonsense as: “Guess is launching a new fragrance named Guess Girl which arrives on the market in February 2013. The fragrance aims at young woman in her twenties and is inspired by 30th anniversary of Guess brand. ‘We wanted to create something that will preserve sexappeal…'” well, my mind turns off and I think to myself – ad exec making perfume, meh.
The fact that you mentioned the words “mature” and “maturity” and “sexy” in your review somewhat negates the idiocy of the Guess B.S. and makes me a bit more curious about the fragrance itself.
I got a sample today, and it’s not at all what I expected, which was a “Pink Sugar” type clone. It’s has a lot more going on, and it’s a shame that Guess chose to link it with the concept of a young girl, and typically, yes, they can be sexy, but are usually not sure yet what to do with it. This scent is not so much for them. JMHO.

Nice sweet simple……something tells me oh lola by marc jacobs inspired this one even if it starts at the bottle
everest77 – :
This is something Martine McCheon would wear. It’s sexy & very girly & clean. I tried it in a hurry last night but I’ll give this another chance as soon as I can.
note:
This fragrance reminds me of Martine cause she’s such adorable singer & she’s so funny & flirty & so beautiful too. I was listening to her songs when I arrived home & typed some posts at my facebook page. I think it matches her personality although I tested it in a hurry, next time I’ll make sure it’s the first fragrance I’m testing & I’ll come back with an update.
Taniken – :
I was flipping through a magazine and came across a sample insert of this. Opened it out of curiosity and was surprised to find myself wanting to try it on. Got a hold of a tester and was disappointed. Didn’t smell half as nice as the sample. Seemed like many other scents in it’s target market with nothing new to add. Not a bad frag at all but very forgettable with average life and silage. Meh. Bottle is pretty though!
Alexisznl – :
I am obsessed with sweet perfumes… which is why my personal favorites are My Insolence by Guerlain and Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture. This perfumes screams CITRIC to me, I asked for this perfume because it has a full bar of sweet, quite disappointing :/ The bottle is nice and the pump is okay. If anyone would like to know what perfume this one is similar to, I must say, it reminds me of Flora by Gucci.
khn759Bessinepome – :
This one is modern fruity (not really sweet I must say) done in the style of Marc Jacobs Daisy, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, Versace Yellow Diamond etc., but more girly of course. The bottle is cheaper in real life than on photo. A normal fragrance for its price.
Arradasok – :
I like this more than I thought I would. I wasn’t too impressed with this from the bottle or on paper, but every scent needs to be tried on the skin. This opens sweet and mildly floral. The raspberry is the most noticeable, and there is a floral note here that smells like mimosa to me. Maybe its the combination of the melon, with the orchid and/or lily. The drydown is a mildly sweet woody vanilla, and still maintains that sweet raspberry note.
myveres – :
i tried it. i liked it. i think i will buy it 🙂
Mevyh608Unlogrere – :
I just smelled a sample of this today- it’s extremely fresh and yummy. If you like Escada, but are looking for a more “mature” floral fruity scent… then this is it!
The bottle is beautiful too!
kpab – :
Maybe just a little too sweet for my taste. Not much different from all the other sweet florals IMO. The top is somewhat refreshing for a few seconds but the dry dlwn is disappointing.
fcm654InsuffBooni – :
I got to smell this and what a nice summer scent this will be! It’s very flirty and fun smelling and I know it’s not listed in the notes, but I smell grapefruit in this. Perhaps it’s the melon mixed with the other fruits? Anyway, this is for those who are young at heart and just want to have fun, just like the Cyndi Lauper song “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”. Fruity and fresh, this would be an awesome scent for the beach or just lounging by the pool!
Apostol777 – :
This is a mature floral-fruity!It’s starts with some raspberry,that makes a short duo with the melon,but the melon stays on through the all fragrance devellopement.Then it becomes more floral,with the acacia,the orchid,the lilies.The bergamot stays throught the all fragrance.Then the lillies fades slowly to become a nice blend of orchid and acacia.The maturity of that fragrance comes from the sandal wood.We barely smell the vanilla.It’s fresh,sweet,floral and sexy! Love it!
man88 – :
You can find it at macy’s ! it smells soooo good
Dearartyerype – :
I bought it but I think I regret it, it is kind of nice, kind of fruity, and the base is nice but overall it is more suited to teenagers in my views. I thought the base would be warmer, but it is pretty much a fruity scent from start to finish. I expected maybe a more complex scent. This is in the line of the Justin Bieber scents, nice, but not great. I like the Taylor Swifts perfumes way better.
Alternative_28 – :
I went to Macy’s tonight and they had a tester of this. This was a nice strong scent. I didn’t seem like anything special at first spray, but after a bit of a dry down, I was re-visting my hand. I tried a lot of frangrances tonight so I don’t think I could accurately describe how the notes hit initially, but what I can say is that it is fragrance that is well balanced, with the heart notes and base notes being very consistent as noted above in coming through. And would get lots of compliments. It seems to have an oily base shine on my skin, so It is long lasting. I plan on going back to get it.
