Ah, the ’90s! A decade of grunge, boy bands, and those paper-thin eyebrows we’d rather forget. But amidst the questionable style choices were undeniable trends and scents that give us that good type of nostalgia. And now that the trends of the ’90s and early 2000s are back in full swing, Guess Double Dare Perfume is making waves all over again — especially at a $10 price point.
Inspired by “American beauty,” this fragrance captures the bold, free-spirited attitude so many people associate with the ’90s and early aughts. With fruity, floral, woodsy, and amber tones, Double Dare has been giving customers a trip down memory lane — and a ton of compliments.
One enthusiastic shopper shared how they had a similar fragrance from the beloved brand back in the ’90s, and how Double Dare compares, “So back in the ’90s I had gotten a bottle…it was red. And I have been on the lookout for the same one but have not found it. I stumbled upon this one and I ❤️ it! It’s a deeper scent but it’s good. And great price!”
The fragrance opens with a burst of tangelo, wild strawberry, and lychee – a fresh and fruity concoction that is light but inviting. As the scent develops, the heart notes of jasmine, muguet (aka lily of the valley), and violet leaf pop up, adding a floral burst that feels timeless and wild.
Fans love how long Guess Double Dare lasts, too. According to one satisfied customer, “It’s worth the price. Lasts all day. I get loads of compliments.”
As the fragrance settles, the base notes of vetiver, amber, and vanilla provide a warm, lingering finish. Another reviewer noted, “At first I didn’t know if I liked it, but then I sprayed it on a couple of days later and it stayed on all day. On top of that, I was getting compliments. It’s all the way outside of my normal scents, but I’m glad I bought it.”
Fans of the fragrance aren’t just obsessed with how the long-lasting perfume smells. The bottle itself is a work of art, as one customer pointed out: “The bottle is beautiful. I have many different scents from Guess and this is a keeper.”
So, as we revel in the return of scrunchies, flannel shirts, and chokers, why not add a spritz of Guess Double Dare perfume to your routine? For only $10, it’s an easy way to bring a modern twist to a fragrance from a beloved brand of the ’90s.
