What does Mini Kiss smell like?

As a whole it smells clean and flowery: wild rose, water jasmine and lily of the valley build the floral core, musk softens it, and teakwood adds a faint woody dryness at the edge. The green and powdery accords keep it from turning heavy.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it sits neither very close nor very assertive. Voters pick it most for leisure, daily wear and the office, with evening and night out far less common. It has been discontinued. Its profile is close to Bobbi Brown Almost Bare and Van Cleef & Arpels Muguet Blanc.
