What does Kiss smell like?

The top is bright and fruity, led by the two currants, apple and raspberry. Almond in the heart softens that fruit and pushes the scent towards a gourmand feel. In the base, vanilla, musk, cotton candy and sandalwood take over, and with the floral and powdery accords it settles into a sweet, synthetic-leaning, lightly oriental finish. Elizabeth Grant Graceful Angel and Rabanne Pure XS for Her have a close profile.
