What does Kisses Don't Lie smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer trailing behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also finds a place in daily wear. Most voters call it feminine and classic.

It opens with Calabrian bergamot and Madagascan pink pepper, bright and lightly spicy. In the heart, Parma violet, violet leaf absolute, rosebud and May rose build the powdery floral core. Raspberry brings sweetness to the base, while Somalian myrrh and Indian papyrus add a woody, oriental ground. Gucci Accenti and Gucci Guilty have a close profile.
