Don`t Miss a Kiss!

A kiss… Most of you have tried it and felt the warm, tingling feeling in your body when kissing a person you genuinely like. How to describe a kiss to someone who has not tasted other lips yet? Maybe as an act which will bring closer two people in love. Perhaps as an expression of passionate affection. Or maybe just as a passing touch of somebody’s lips on your hand, cheek or mouth.

Whichever definition you choose, it is inevitable that we all enjoy kisses and that they connect us with our beloved one. We feel warm, protected, and comfortable. But how does it taste? Like warm chocolate, tropical fruit, exotic flowers, or maybe just like strawberries with cream.

Even perfumers were inspired by kisses when creating some of their perfumes. They certainly wanted to transfer some of aromas of a kiss that make us feel butterflies in our stomachs.

Kisses feel like ripe fruit, red berries and the exotic fruit litchi for the house of Lalique. Their beautiful perfume Tendre Kiss makes you feel warm, comfortable and wrapped in velvety vanilla. After the first breeze of fruit, you enter a spicy floral heart which is full of contrasts. On one side you can feel romantic, gentle rose, while on the other side, nutmeg and pink pepper add a note of passion and a hot breath to the composition. A tingling feeling on your skin lingers just like after a kiss.


This house, a producer of glass objects, has put great effort into the flacon, which arrives in two different versions. The most beautiful flacon features an antique image of a kissing couple framed with tiny rose buds. The whole composition is coloured in pale pink, to symbolize romantic love. Another Lalique perfume, La Baiser ( Kiss in French) has the same flacon, but colored in orange nuances. As passionate as a real French kiss, it seduces with its floral composition of rose and jasmine placed on a woody base.

A hot kiss can most certainly warm you up during long, cold, snowy winter nights, so Naomi Campbell recommends her Winter Kiss sprinkled with small snowflakes. This perfume is as warm as hot chocolate and it will definitely make your day sweeter. The opening notes are refreshing but spiced up with anise and pink pepper. While the heart is blossoming with gentle flowers, such as Platanthera bifolia, the base is opulent like sandalwood, soft like vanilla and seductive like musk. It leaves a taste of sweet candies and chocolate on your skin.

A Little Kiss is placed on your cheek by the house of Salvador Dali. This beautiful fruity-floral composition is offered to you in a characteristic flacon in green and pink nuances with a little kiss painted in orange.

This perfume is as wild as its top notes, which encompass wild berries such as red currant and blueberry, as well as wild rose blossom. Pink flowers and gentle peach will embrace you just like the gentle hands of your lover. This is a kiss that will cheer you up and make you smile.

How do you feel when you are kissed? Heavenly, maybe?

If so, then Heavenly Kiss by lingerie house Victoria's Secret is the best choice for you! When using this perfume, you will feel sexy, just like when wearing their feminine lingerie.


Heavenly top notes are red, passionate and exciting, full of sun-kissed fruit. The heart of this perfume beats in an exotic rhythm of guava and jasmine, but the real treat comes last, in the base. The final notes are very sweet, almost edible, and they introduce soft vanilla, creamy notes of wood, English toffee, marshmallow and sensual musk.

In case you want to Be Kissable, try out the eponymous perfume by the house of Avon and you will attract the opposite sex! The fluid hiding behind a pink flacon covered with kisses is silky, seductive and flirty. Its opening is unusual, with ginger blossom and coriander leaves, while the heart is powdery, with accentuated exotic and voluptuous tuberose. This perfume will make you feel like a girl in love again.

A truly exotic kiss which will take you directly to summer days in Greece is Island Kiss by Escada. When wearing it, you will feel kissed by the sea and exotic aromas, such as heavenly mango, passion flower, orange, passion fruit and sweet raspberry. This modern and provocative note stands in contrast to the white peach, hibiscus and delicate flowers which can be found in the heart. The base of this perfume is strong but tame, with cedar and blond wood. This youthful and charming fragrance will make you feel joyful and breezy, leaving a warm kiss on your neck.

Other kissable perfumes full of pulsing, vibrant and playful aromas you might want to try are the following:

Sweet Kiss
by Bourjois, Perfect Kiss by Sarah Horowitz Parfums, Samba Kiss by Perfumer's Workshop, La Baiser du Dragon by Cartier, Halloween Kiss by Jesus del Pozo, HOTKISS Heart Breaker by Demeter fragrances, Varens Kiss By Ulric de Varens, El Beso by Agatha Ruiz and many other.

Remember to enjoy kisses just like you enjoy your favorite fragrances!
