1000 Kisses Deep by B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful

Any chypre floral that has heaps of praise catches my eye, and my eye has been on this one for a long time. Now that I'm wearing it, my first impression is...

It smells like bee pee.

I've found that Labdanum and myrrh need to be approached cautiously, as they can become too 'ooh hey' rather quickly (as in too much sweetness).

To be fair, I'm quite sure this is marketed towards the younger consumer, and in all honesty it's what I would have reached for when going to see Milli Vanilli in concert.

But Baby, you can forget my number with this one.

This smells like orange zest, clove and myrrh-not at all sweet, and not very fresh. Very oily smelling, but definitely orange and somewhat mossy. This is not quite my idea of a clean smell-a clean smell would be lighter, fresher-maybe more like citrus pulp than zest-but it doesn't smell very soapy to me-just orange, neither bitter, nor sweet-and the osmanthus and myrrh which smells almost like clove with the other notes, but neither spicy nor sweet. A nice natural scent-not irritating to the nose, and not heavy, for being a chypre floral. I guess this line really smells like essential oil mixes more than eau de parfum, but it lasts long enough to be worth it.

Love the name, and the bottle is interesting enough that I would buy it for the bottle.

Ouch!

This is by far the best of their perfumes in my opinion. ("Bscent" & "Keep It Fluffy" close second). The first time I sprayed this on my arm in the shop I fell in love. With my chemistry this perfume doesn't morph, it pretty muhc stays the same. I want to bathe in this scent it's so exotic and gorgeous. It reminds me of Arabian nights....magical lamps, and the musk is so sexy it makes me want to do the dance of the seven veils for my boyfriend. (Wow that would look shocking...retract that). There is an element of orange but..it's blended so well that it's not an overpowering citrus rush. It's the most sensuous of all the perfumes in the range and the one that sticks out the most to me as being different. I adore this and need to get more.

Hmm, a strange one '1000 Kisses Deep'. It's not really as 'orange' as people make out I dont think. It is nice, and I know this will sound strange, but it smells very soapy to me - not in a bad way, but yeah, soapy.

On opening the little bottle I briefly got a whiff of something a bit like 4711. I applied some to my wrist and got a thin sort of lemon smell. Very quickly a strange plasticy or burnt note emerged. Just as I was thinking that this is just another B Never too Busy clunky, clumsy mix, it matured into something very interesting - something sweet, beautiful, delicate and haunting. It made me think of peat fires and of my Granny and Grandad who were married for a very long time (looks like the perfumer's aim worked then, looking at the site). Ivy plants also came to mind for some reason (?). Once again, that B Never too Busy staple, jasmine, made a late appearance. Overall, I'd summarise this as an interesting and unique scent, just not one that I would want ON me.

I love this perfume on my skin! My body chemistry mixes with it so well! Sense it is pure oils it changes very much on different people it smells very sweet and musky on me. It is a deep strong smell but it is not overwhelming or offensive to other people because it stay strong only on the skin. It is super sexy! Even more so sense you have to be close to smell you lushesly smelling skin! X

1000 Kisses Deep has the smell of bitter orange peels on my skin, creating the illusion of a certain dryness. It's not a French kiss for sure! :)

I love orange notes in perfumes, but have had trouble finding one with just the right dose: most either smell like a basket of fresh oranges (very nice on the table but not on my clothes), or the orange takes a back seat in the blend. Not so in 1000 Kisses Deep.

1000 Kisses Deep, Eau des merveilles, and Elixir des Merveilles share a slightly bitter but very fresh, unsweetened orange note that I find scrumptious.

In Eau des Merveilles the wood notes , especially cedar, take over on my skin. Too dry!

In Elixir des Merveilles gooey vanilla and caramel end up candying the orange. Too sticky!

In 1000 Kisses deep, labdanum, myrrh and osmanthus give the blend all the depth promised in the name: Juuuuuuuuust right!

The orange is there, from beginning to end, but the wise selection of elegant complementary notes steers it in a warm, sophisticated, grown-up direction that takes 1000 Kisses Deep from daytime to evening. Modest sillage. Lasts at least 5 hours on my skin.

The homage to a Leonard Cohen song is for me a huge plus, as are the thoughtful attention to detail in the packaging.

Since I wear many different scents, I am disappointed that so many come in only 100 ml bottles. Again, B Never too Busy to Be Beautiful is the exception. The company seems to understand the financial, aesthetic, and practical needs of its many perfumista clients. You can choose a mini body spray for under 10 pounds, small atomizer, a small bottle, a large bottle, a pomander, or even a scented fan.

I am smitten with 1000 kisses deep, and am quickly falling in love with B Never too Busy.
