What does Besos smell like?

Madagascar pepper and Italian mandarin orange give it a bright, lively start. At the heart, orris absolute and Indian jasmine sambac absolute bring a powdery floral note. Musk, Siam benzoin and vanilla leave the base creamy and gently sweet, while the synthetic accord adds a clean, smooth feel.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by summer and fall, with winter chosen least. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is sold as unisex. Philly & Phill Boudoir Belle / Rosa and Coreterno Punk Motel have a close profile.
