1981 For Women

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. ❤️✌️

I got this perfume for the “1981” name. As an 80s baby & an 80s fan. I couldn’t pass by this perfume and needed to add it to my collection. First impression, the box and bottle are both pretty. The scent it’s self is very pleasing. It’s very light. Flowery, but not too flowery. Powdery, but not too powdery. It’s a perfect balance. A note almost smells like the original ivory hand lotion. That familiar clean flowery aroma. It definitely reminds me of the 80s. As a child I was given a perfume for Christmas and this smells very similar. This would be a perfect scent to introduce young girls to perfume. It has a very sweet and innocent aroma. The longevity is neither amazing or short. About 3 hours, which seems typical for a middle tier eau de toilette. Probably not something I would reach for to wear often, as it’s just too light and youthful for me. Will definitely be spraying often, just to kick start the sun filled, powdery memories of playing with my little ponies, listening to the bangles & the pure fun of growing up in the 80s

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.

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...

This perfume was a surprising delight. As a woman who likes perfumes with musky, woody undertones, I don't own any overtly sweet, floral or fruity smells. 1981, however, is perfectly balanced in all its notes: violet, jasmine, and pear with a light mix of amber and musk. This is such a feminine and girly perfume, it's difficult for me to dislike it. It's youthful and fun without being too complex in its transition from the top notes to the base notes. The sillage and longevity are average, nothing too impressive, but for the price I paid, this was quite worth it. I definitely plan on wearing this on days when I want to feel extra cute or if I'm wearing a lot of pink!
