Guess Dare for Men is a fresh spicy woody signature that opens with an energetic lift of bergamot sparked by juniper berries and white pepper, then eases into a textured heart where smooth cashmere wood meets geranium and a hint of jasmine, finally settling into a confident trail of cedar, musk, and patchouli that feels modern, clean, and effortlessly wearable from daytime to night.

Story and Positioning
Introduced as the masculine chapter of the Dare line that followed the 2014 and Double Dare women’s editions, Dare for Men frames crisp citrus and pepper with creamy woods for a versatile everyday style that reads easygoing yet assured. Wearers often compare its bright, spicy profile to contemporary fresh woods such as YSL Y and Burberry Brit Rhythm, making it a smart value choice for fans of that genre.
Bottle and Design
The bottle is compact and weighty in the hand with beveled sides that feature a row of pyramid facets. A brushed metal plaque stamped with GUESS anchors the front, while a textured metal cap adds a rugged, denim-inspired touch. The cool grey juice and denim print box complete the casual yet polished presentation.
