I have the body mist of this scent and it lasts 12h on my skin. Impressive since it is not an edt or an edp.
Smells a bit like Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy, but not totally. I had Midnight Fantasy, but got tired of it. Now i can´t stand the scent. And im not so interested in Dark Kiss eigher. So if anyone wants to swap it, let me know. It is an 88ml bottle, 2cm is gone of it.
I was so sad that B&BW is not carrying this is the store anymore. This scent is so sexy, musky and dark juicy berries. I've been layering the EDT with my Pacifica Island Vanilla lotion and absolutely love the combo. Unlike other B&BW scents this one stays on forever and its definitely a compliment-getter, males seem to really like it. Great everyday affordable scent for fall/winter, is very similar to Britney's Midnight Fantasy (which I also love). Hope they continue to carry this one online.
I am so in love with this. I got it as a x-mas gift from my grandma, who's obsessed with anything that has lotion. Now I know where I get it. haha. I got it in the body butter form, and I literally can not stop using it. I put it on after showers, and it stays on my skin until the next day. Which is crazy. I can't describe what it smells like. I mean, it's really sweet, and the packaging says it's flowers, but I don't really think that's what it is. haha. Insanity is happening. Anyways. Everyone who smells it on me is instantly in love with it. They're always like. Where'd you get that? What are you wearing, you smell awesome! :D So yeah. I'm loving it.
I like this and started wearing it in 2010, my friend liked it so much she started buying it, don't know if she still does. I usually only wear this during summer. My nurse flat out asked me if I was wear "Ciara", so maybe to her they smell a like.
This fragrance smells like someone dumped a vanilla and berry smoothie in the middle of a witch's supply-shop. It's lovely and sweet, luscious, mesmerizing, sexy, and a little bit mysterious. I LOVE IT!!! Incense remains a top note when I wear it, and it lasts for several hours. This scent is my go-to whenever I go dancing. It's more of a night-time fragrance, but I love it so much that I sometimes wear it during the day as well.
My mother who gave this lotion to me as a regift from someone else. I can understand why a woman in her 60's would not like this. This was not overpowering juvenile berry but more sophisticated on my skin as defnitly picked up the incense notes and will buy again if I happen to be shopping at B&BW
I have ALWAYS hated this scent, but a few weeks ago at Bath and Body Works during their Semi Annual Sale, I had a coupon that was Take 10$ off any purchase of 30$ or more. I picked out everything I wanted but needed about 8 more dollars to reach 30 and get the deal. I saw that the Dark Kiss EDT was only about 7$ (75% off)& I knew I didnt like the scent but I decided to get it anyway and try it out. I still am not crazy about the scent because it it a little bit too unique for me but I will wear it occasionaly. I would describe it as a deep berry/plum scent
My mother bought this for me and she must have had a cold...This is not me at all.
I talked to Bath and Body Works...the scent will still be available online according to them. :)
THIS IS GETTING DISCONTINUED!! I'm mad at BBW now :( This scent was one of the best ones there!
I don't like this fragarance. This is too strong and sweet. This is just like a cheap soapbar. No mystery that you seek in it. It's more appropriate when you wear it at night.
I love this stuff! One of my new favorites. I have the fragrance spray, and it's such a lovely mixture of berries, vanilla and musk. I don't have anything like it, even though I have many similar scents.
I really don't think this is a masculine scent at all. But yes, it is a more seductive scent. The image it invokes is wrapping myself up in yummy cashmere! On me, the berries dominate but in a very subtle way.
I think this fragrance is especially nice in the winter, for day or night, or for night in summer. I wear it to work too, although I'm not using an EDT so it's less concentrated.
The mist lasts about 6-7 hours without being overpowering (I'm one of those people who wants my perfume to be noticeable only to me or someone really close to me, not from 6 feet away). I have a bottle of the EDT as well that I haven't tried yet, but got on clearance. When I work out after work, the scent re-generates and it's lovely.
I'm probably not the best at describing "notes", but I think this is a grown-up way to wear berries and vanilla...BBW somehow is able to take something that could smell super sweet and juvenile and make it sexy.
I could never wear it at work, the fragrance police used to tell me it was too strong, so I keep it for home!
I just discovered that Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears smells almost identical to this, and can be layered together, if you want to go all-out dark and plummy delicious!
I heard that BBW Black Amethyste is seductive to men but I love Dark Kiss more. I love them both much. So, I bought 2 body cream tubes of BA and 2 body cream tubes of DK, mixed them this way : 3 of DK and 1 of BA and the smell is much much more seductive and more attractive to men !. My bf could really Not resist when I applied the mix of those two lotions !
I don't understand all the reviews saying this is how they think a vampire would smell. I get how this is thought of as a night scent, but I think the name and description of this are really coloring how people are perceiving it. On me, I have been told that I smell like delicious mint chocolate chip cookies, so I also wear it as a day scent. The key for getting away with it during the day is to use sparingly. One or two squirts to my neck, and I am good to go. It lasts a pretty decent amount of time, and the projection isn't bad. While I can see this as either a day or a night scent, I think it is most definitely a winter/ fall/ cold weather scent.
I agree with flyingfish below that this is how a vampire would smell like.
Don't get me wrong. I like it. I think it's sexy in a slightly morbid kind of way. Kinda like a bottle straight out of Morticia Adams' wardrobe. I think the people who like this scent might be best friends with people who like Demeter Funeral Home. :)
I want to but I don't think I'm brave enough to use this. This honestly scares the bejesus out of me whenever I smell it. I always feel like there's a vampire coming or the ghost of my dead relative is just right behind me. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that my heart races when I smell this. I watch too many movies.
I won't throw away mine, though. I'll keep it for when I need to channel my inner Morticia.
Well, since it's Halloween, it's in season I guess :)
Love it!! Why did they get rid of this one and kept Country Chic?
I honestly think this is how a vampire would smell. The Christopher Lee and Tom Cruise kind. The scent scares me, I don't know why. It's too strong and overpowering, and not in a good way. Gives me headaches whenever I smell it on someone. And it's so easily recognizable.
Dark kiss is a sophisticated scent which I adore. Its feminine and sexy. The initial spray smells fruity, and light, but 1-2 spritz is good enough. The sweet and fruity scent mellows down when the 'dark' note steps in. This really lives up to its name; dark:sensual, sweet:kiss. This will definitely be the best choice for a date with your love ones at night. I wouldn't recommend others to wear this scent to work or in the day though, this just fits perfectly at night. Will repurchase this scent for sure.
I had this for a little while and I ended up giving it away. It smells exactly like Love Spell Midnight (not listed on this site). LSM was a temporary scent at Victoria's Secret and I didn't like that one either.
It smells like Amber Romance from VS and slightly like Love Spell...which you'd think would be nice but it was so overpowering and it gave me a headache, allergies, and nausea.
I wanted to like this scent, but it gave me a bad reaction. I'm glad most of you seem to enjoy it though! :)
This scent is so amazing!! It is so fruity, I can definetly smell the plum and dark berries. The musk in this makes it even more amazing! I love fruity scents but not too fruity. This is great!!! I have it in the lotion and shower gel, i really want it in EDT form!!!! I just wish bath and body works would consider releasing EDP's instead.
smells amazing i sprayed some dark kiss on one hand and jimmy choo on the other and asked my hubby which was what he couldnt tell the difference i think they smell so alike as well ! love it!!
This is a sexy berry scent...very seductive....this one should have been named twilight woods cuz I get a dark vampy vibe off of this one. I'm with the reviewer who wrote that all the products together are too strong.....I like to use the body creamy all over during the day....it has a perfume effect to it....at night I spray the body mist on too....I think this is very sexy. Love it.
Back before Weight Watchers limited my frequent trips to local restaurants, I used to go to Perkins for delicious, calorie-laden breakfasts. My very favorite of all the giant muffin flavors at Perkins is raspberry creme. This perfume smells just like a raspberry creme muffin! It's absolutely delicious, a strong, sexy berry best for date nights or winter wear. The blackberry and plum give it a dark juiciness, and the amber and vanilla mix into a sugary cake scent. When this scent first came out, I found it too strong. Now I love it. I just wish I could stop wanting to lick my wrist. :P
This is so weird, but the lotion is definitely stronger than the EDT. I bought the latter a few weeks ago when I wanted something very girly and sweet for when I need a break from my heavy orientals, and although I enjoyed it, it seemed to fade immediately from my skin. Today, I popped back into the store and picked up 6 body lotions (6 for the price of 3? Insane sale)--2 of them were Dark Kiss. As a lotion, the scent lingers for hours. I've never preferred a lotion to an EDT in terms of longevity, but it's definitely the case with these two products.
Too strong, but my mother in law loves it! To each their own!
I got the body spray for Christmas one year and hated it thinking it smelled like sex in a bottle. Months later, I found it in the back of my bathroom while moving and I sprayed it once and fell in love with it. I still think it smells sexy, but in a good way. I started wearing it when I went to Italy and my guy room mate looked at me curiously as I left the bathroom and goes, "It always smells so good in there when you come out". I figure if that guy in particular thought it smelled good, then it must be true (he doesn't generally notice that kind of thing). I went on a buying spree and got the lotion, another body spray, and the EDT bottle. I only wear it on occasion, but I feel sexy as hell when I do. It's not too sweet (see my review of Be Enchanted) and lasts a while.
Oddly enough musks and incense dissappear on my skin, my skin seems to draw out what is sweetest in every scent. Here i get deep berries, almost a plum-like scent. sweet amber and creamy vanilla with a hint of roses.. Really weird and nothing like the bottle!! but i love it :)
Simply Amazing. so much so that it does not smell like bath and body works at all! they really did a great job with this one. It smells like getting a passionate knee shaking kiss during a full moon when all the night blooming plants open up! Cant go wrong!
I rarely if ever love anything BBW makes. However, I adore this. It is so unlike the other scents I own. It's smokey with rich plum and berry undertones and as the time wears on it evolves in a rose musk fashion into a truly sensual creation. Bravo to BBW.
Dark Kiss is an exquisite, rich, and very sweet fragrance that has always been one of Bath & Body Works' best. It is not typical of floral or fruity scents; it is muskier, full of sugar, and as the name implies, darker, thanks to the incense and rose. It contains no chocolate, but the combination mimics chocolate with the same consuming power. A mature and distinct sweet scent; one of my favorites, perhaps too strong to wear every day, and likely a lot sweeter than many people expect, but one that's easy to keep coming back to because the blend is so addictive
Dark Kiss is the only berry scent which I have ever liked; usually they are much too sweet and artificial-smelling on me. This one is definitely still really sweet, but the incense and vanilla deepen it into what I can only describe as a "sexy berry fragrance." I still don't wear this as often as my non-berry scents, but for cooler weather and casual to semi-formal days when I want to smell yummy and feminine, but not too floral, this is what I pick.
I gave this to my mom a few Christmases ago, and I love it! It is very sweet, but it still smells mature. Sometimes, I "borrow" a few sprays when I'm in her bathroom.
I got this in my Christmas sock, and immediately got the whiff of strong alcohol. It mellowed out into a sharp berry smell after a few minutes, but the staying power isn't great on my skin. There was more vanilla and sugar than I expected (dark for me= musky/dusky/night smell) but I got the blueberry poundcake with powdered sugar frosting from Walmart. Not a bad scent, just not for me.
I absolutely love this!! I wear it all the time because it makes me feel sexy and as my maid of honor says i smell feisty when I wear it. And My fiancé practically trips over his own feet whe he smells it, it's a total man magnet. Like it says on the back it really does bring out the primal instincts. The best way to describe it is mature. I absolutely love it, my man loves it, and so do all my friends. What more can I ask for?
Every single time I wear this I get compliments, I love it! <3
I think this fragrance is great but I've learned from trial and error to just stick with the body lotion. The mist spray is potent and the dry down to this is very cough syrup like.
I have this in the fragrance mist, and I just can't stop smelling myself. It's delicious! Scent lasts for days on my clothes too, but recently I went to a friends house and she asked if I came from a Hookah Bar? LOL! I was like WHAT??? The Incense really takes over after awhile, but I don't mind.
Very similar to Midnight Fantasy, but Dark Kiss is less sweet and more mature.
While I like MF, it was much too sweet for me, and so I thought I found my answer in DK.
BUT sadly, DK took a turn for the worse. First it was yummy dark berries, then it turned into an exotic and sensual scent. But at the end the incense made it smell like, as one reviewer mentioned, medicinal vapor rub on me :(
it really resembles midnight fantasy, but this much smells even better. it is more creamy, like someone said before, like a blueberry-cheesecake. so yummy. the lasting power is average but on clothes not bad. i think if you do not overspray it this one can be worn all year round. really irresistible !
For my body chemistry here... Dark Kiss just simply turned sour on my skin. I didn't like it. Too much fruit.
This really is a lot like Midnight Fantasy but even more gourmand. It's tart and sweet on first application with the juicy blackberries, it stays like this for a little while but when it dries down it becomes much creamier with the amber and vanilla rounding it off. Here it smells like a sweet blackberry cheescake and this is where it starts to differ from Midnight Fantasy.
Lasting power is around 5 hours and the sillage is pretty decent too. It's sweet and ffruity enough for Spring, creamy enough for Autumn/ Winter but maybe a little bit too creamy for Summer.
Dark Kiss is a very strong but also sweet scent. I love the vanilla in it as well as the amber and the fruity hints. I love the way it's strong so that it lasts. It's one of those fragrances that you can tell if someone is wearing it when they walk by.
One of my best guy friends left for basic training and I gave him a big hug the last time I saw him. He called me later that night to tell me that he couldn't stop smelling my Dark Kiss perfume on his shirt and he didn't want to wash it off! Dark Kiss has been my sexiest go-to fragrance over the past few months. Dark mysterious berry scent with lovely amber and vanilla undertones. Now I have one more reason to love it. If Dark Kiss is still around after he gets out of the military, I'll be there to welcome him home in it.lol
How do they get it so creamy?! I put this one off for such a long time because I assumed it was your typical candied berry scent but it's just... Yum. There is something so alluring & addicting about this one... I like to call it a "smell-gasm".
The first time I smelled Dark Kiss I said, "this smells like sex and candy" lol. Seriously though, this is a very sexy scent. It can get a little strong so use sparingly. This is one of my favorites!
So I didn't expect to like this, but it's really delicious! It's like a decadent chocolate raspberry cheesecake. I can see it becoming a touch heavy, and it's not for those who don't like sweet(ish) gourmands, but I think it's really nice for winter, it's rich, creamy and tart, much different from most BBW products I've tried. Definitely give it a try.
I wanted to like this so bad...well I like it, but not as much as I had hoped.
It's just so heavy on me and even with the body spray, it's still so heavy and sweet on me that the smell becomes unbearable after awhile.
The lasting power is pretty good on me I'll admit. My body spray of this lasted at least 3 hours on my skin. But I really don't think that I'll buy this again.
EDIT 6/1/2012: Wow I love this now! This is perfect for the night time or when the weather is cold! It's sexy and sweet at the same time! I might even buy the perfume when I'm done with the body spray.
I have this in the Fragrance Mist. It was a blind buy and I was very pleasantly surprised! Actually, more like ecstatic! It smells so much like Britney Spears Midnight Fantasty but is smoother, creamier and muskier. Also not as sweet on me. So happy, because Midnight Fantasty is lovely but far too sugary. I definitely would choose Dark Kiss over Midnight Fantasy.
It is suprisingly strong for a Fragrance Mist and is just a good as an EDT on me. This fragrance of dark berries and vanilla is delicious. I would be happy to purchase this again!
Dark Kiss is my absolute favorite B&BW scent. On my skin, it smells mostly like berries and vanilla, with a little musk. Just enough irresistibility to keep you coming back time and time again. My boyfriend is so obsessed with Dark Kiss on me that I now use the body wash, lotion and mist. Not for everyone though - the employee at the store told me she hated it because it smelled like Vick's Vapor rub on her. She let me smell her wrist 5 minutes after she sprayed it on herself... really didn't smell like the same fragrance! Definitely try it before you commit. But I loveee it for myself!! :)
*should never be bought blind*
This scent requires an acquired taste. It's heavy and powdery and the name isn't lying when it says "Dark". There's a sultry smokiness to this and I only wear it to formals and parties. It's a bit too unique for daily use and should be bought "blind". It's definitely not a crowd pleaser but it's a treasure to have.
This product is one of the best things I ever purchased. Not once did I regret buying it. I get compliments from everyone about the fragrance. It lasts long and leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturized. People all the time ask me about it. Someone once told me they could smell the perfume from across the room! I absolutely love this product!
one of my new favs. very sweet but dark at the same time/
This is similar to but does not last as long as Midnight Fantasy. It also has a smokier scent to it that Midnight Fantasy lacks, and has more vanilla. In some ways it is a more complex scent, but it does not have the staying power of Britney's. But if you like Midnight Fantasy you will also probably like this.
very seductive scent....
This is one of my favorite smells ever. I have the spray and the lotion and the shower gel, and used to cover my bed in the spray to help me sleep. But for some reason all I can smell in the perfume is rubbing alcohol. BBW "musks" are usually very sweet and feminine to me and i really wish the perfume held the same scent I love in the other products.
The first fragrance I have "really loved" (not that there aren't other nice scents, but ones that just grab you!) from BBW in a really long time. I hold musk really well, and on those who also do you will sense that aspect more heavily. On my skin it initially vibes as a super sweet mixture, then quickly settles into a seductively delicious mix of candy berries and creamy vanilla, while still remaining smoky enough to eliminate the Teen Sweetness.
*If fragrances bearing "sweet"-ness do not work for you, you may not enjoy this* < Can't repeat that enough. While mysteriously cloaking you in musky vanilla, I still find the sweet berries to be the overwhelming scent! It works for me when normally that wouldn't though, so I speak highly. It is DEFINITELY an attractive scent. Inexpensive for the size of the bottle, as usual for BBW.
Dark Kiss is a heavy and very sultry scent, it is appropriately named. It is not often that I snatch up something as quick as I did this, my husband likes it too. Great for a special evening, a little to sexually heady for anything less.
If you enjoy Philosophy's Falling in Love, I think you will LOVE this. It is longer lasting, sexier, deeper and has more depth than the a fore mentioned. I am impressed, Bath and Body Works! Bravo! I am from WA state in the USA, and I can tell you that this smells like fresh blackberry cobbler that is being eaten outside next to the fire pit on a fall evening! It is sensual, ripe, soft, cozy and yet charismatic all at once. Love it!
I received the lotion as a gift from a friend along with the spray, and used it for a couple of months. Dark Kiss is a berry scent that is very strong and a bit overly sweet for my tastes when first applied, and after a while only a sweet candy-like scent remains - a male friend of mine said I smelled like caramel. The scent in lotion form has a surprisingly long lasting power as well. Despite how overpowering it is initially, I rather enjoyed Dark Kiss, but not to the point that I would purchase it myself.
Most sexy perfumes I smelt havn't been THIS strong. But i can take it lol. I luv wearing it in the evening and of course I LOVE the name fo this fragrance! So perfect and i love using my imagination with it. Mytical and sensual (but strong...works for me though)
Ohhhhhhh!!! I really like this one! I think it's name is perfect. It is dark and warm and cozy, though just a tad too sweet for me to seriously love it. I may get a small bottle of the body spray just to have it on hand if the mood strikes.
*just to add...my 9 year old son picked up the paper tester strip of Dark Kiss this morning sniffed it and said "niiiiiiice!" he totally loved it!
I got it this weekend and still love it, I used the body spray and lotion and love being able to layer it all!
I don't get the musk in it at all, which I love, to me it's dark and sweet and sexy, edible lovely darkness! I think it's gorgeous and reasonably priced for everyday wear!
This is a very nice scent. Its sexy, and dark kiss fits it well. Every man i know likes it :). It can be a little heavy, but the smell is very nice. It smells like deep berries, and warm vanilla. A very good choice for older teens and women in their twenties and thirties. A very good dating perfume. You wont have to worry about smelling good wearing this perfume, its one of my favs.
At first spray, this is berries and vanilla, just like the sign in the store says. Let it develop a bit more, and the incense starts to come out. I don't detect any florals. It starts off feeling a bit young because it's quite sweet, but the incense gives it a slightly darker vibe. The name fits this well.
To me, this smells like Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy, except the lasting power with MF is much better. If any of you have read other reviews of mine, you know I prefer just the body lotions of frags. Midnight Fantasy's body care line is extremely hard to find, so Dark Kiss will replace it for me. It's very nicely done and sexy too. :D
I sampled the body spray today. It is pleasant. I can smell vanilla and spices, but honestly it is nothing really special and I doubt I woul ever purchase this. However if someone were to give this to me as a gift I would wear it, because like I said, it is pleasant. There is something that reminds me of sunscreen. Coconut maybe?
I've had the body cream for some time now and love wearing it. Like divaluxe said, it makes one feel "sultry". The body cream is so strong you almost don't need to use another product from the line, but I decided to invest in the body mist to really insure longevity on this scent. Alone, the body mist seems to be a skin scent, although maybe others can smell it. In any case, I like this scent a lot, it reminds me of fall and winter nights.
Smells too... Peppery for me. It smells exactly what it's named as, Dark. I definitely prefer the lighter, prettier scents.
To me, and this is a compliment, I smell fresh blackberries and wet earth. I adore this scent. It's definitely a winter fragrance for me for cooler weather and I feel sultry when I wear it at night.
I love it! It's very unique-ish(except when it's compared to Midnight Fantasy). I can't describe the scent, besides that it's sweet.
this stuff smells so good, one of my favorites by far. i find that the bath and body works body mists are really nice and not as strong.
I was thinking this would smell like BS Midnight Fantasy(which is nice but is pretty much just blueberry on me).This is much more complex-I do get the berry notes but there is a warmth behind them-mostly amber,balsam and musk.I tried this,Forever Sunshine and Carried Away and this was my favorite by far.I will say there is more of a berry note in the shower gel.Both the lotion and the body butter are much lighter scented than the body spray which is good-otherwise it might be a bit overwhelming.
Edit-After wearing this tonight I'm kinda disappointed as it has no lasting power-maybe I need to check out the Edt...still love the scent however fleeting it may be!
I only have the body mist but I find this scent odd and I cant make up my mind about it. If I only use one spray it smells good but that doesn't last so I spray more and then I get this gross I don't even know how to describe it smell. But then I will smell it on my friend and it will smell good. My sister absolutely loves this so I guess it's just me because everybody else seems to love this.
totally random review, but i really love this as a room spray! on me, it turns kind of weird. really i can just detect the "cheapness" of it, therefore refuse to wear it...but sprayed on my sofa antique chair and bedding, it fills my whole house with a seductive elegance. very sweet, but dark and romantic. gives a "come hither" feel to my room.
Vanilla, flowery, berry... this is an amazing scent! I own the lotion, the body spray, the perfume, the scent oil, the candle, and the glitter mist. I love this to death<3
I only have the body mist in this and I loved this when it first came out, but for some reason now when I spray on it turns to an almost dusty offensive smell on my arm after awhile. Even the next morning I could smell that weird smell on my wrist still and didn't like it. It does smell alot like Brittney Spears Midnight Fantasy, which I like better.
At first I liked it. But after a little while it started smelling like stale cigar smoke or dirty smell. YUK
I love this and was surprised at the similarity between this and Vera Wang's "Rock Princess".
Smells like cigar smoke & cotton candy. Not for me.
I thought I liked this scent at first but after wearing the lotion and body spray, I started disliking it. The scent is way too strong and the incense is overpowering.
This is my absolute favorite scent I think I've ever had. As soon as I walked into BBW when they first released it, I knew it was going to be my new love. Before this, Love Spell was my favorite. I think the two are slightly similar, but Dark Kiss is just completely ME.
I bought a spray, lotion and a body wash. My friend took the body wash from me, and I made the mistake of taking the lotion to work. All my coworkers loved it too, and now I need to buy a new bottle. Even male coworkers said that they liked the scent.
I really hope they never discontinue this scent, I will be heartbroken.
Im South African and was in Canada a few months ago when I tried this perfume...Oh my word, its lovely! Im back in S.A now and all the women are asking me where I got it from!
I do see how this is an oriental floral because it seems to smell like that to me right after the perfume is initially sprayed (I think it's what you called depth and darkness) and the cotton candy smell wears off. I think that makes it smell a little less like a teenager scent. I even like this better than warm vanilla sugar, so it's a definite good one for me. :)
I love this scent.
Very sweet and this is my current favorite,I only bought the lotion and it smells divine.
I can really smell the plum in it and the darkness.
I get a lot of compliments when I wear this, mostly from women. It smells like chocolate raspberries on me.
I love this scent in the slatkin candles oh my gosh it makes my bedroom smell so sexy and warm LOVE IT!!!!! I also have the perfume and i will say i love it to but my mother said i smell strong so i have kinda quit wearing it im afraid im smelling to loud, but it is very nice it smells like berries, cotton candy and musk or vanilla mixed together really neat and it last all day into the next day!!!
LOVE this fragrance! It is a bit strong when you first spary it, but it fades to such a soft, sexy scent. This scent last on me when other B&B products tend to fade. My husband finds the scent pleasing also, and he is not one to comment on most of the fragrances I wear. This one catches his attention.
A very berry playful and fun sent to wear anytime!
THis fragrance is sweet and sexy girlfriend bought me the body mist for christmas I really like this one
The berry and dark vanilla are VERY PROMINENT in this fragrance... It's a softer scent for casual wear. I like it but it's definitely not an oriental floral by any chance... more a vanilla fruity.
I'm using this body mist at home and when going shopping because of its refreshing scent. It's quite strong on the first spray but not repugnant to the nose. The base is as mysterious as its name, Dark Kiss. I really like this a lot. Can be worn in any season.
this smells like fruity pebbles to me for some reason and the lotion smells better than the spary. i think the name of this and secret wonderland should be switched though.
While it's been awhile since I've smelled Britney's Midnight Fantasy, I have to say that's exactly what I thought of when I smelled it. So I totally agree with that reference. It has good staying power and sillage. Other than that I'm not sure how to describe it. It's not the sweet dark berry I tend to go for, a bit sour almost. No incense for me.
This is a LOT of berries. Very very sweet for my taste. I think it's good for teenagers, it's very casual and a little bit cloying. The touch of spice is nice but the berries overpower it in my opinion.
I bought the candle and I like it very much, smells like Starburst Berries N Cream, dont know about using this as a fragrance...
EDIT: I got the body spray, lotion and shower gel... The combo is waaay 2 strong together, almost nauseating...Will be returning the lotion and shower gel...
I have never bought a BBW perfume before, and I actually boycotted the whole store a few years ago because they would not let my 3 year old use their bathroom. Anyway, they were handing out this "Dark Kiss" for a free sample of little lotion maybe 2 ounces, and I put it in my bag. I used it a few times and the scent stayed with me, so I bought the gift box and perfume, and I like it a lot. It does not smell like vanilla, I hate anything remotely connected to vanilla!! I think it does smell berry-ish, but not like bubblegum to me. I got a larger sample of their Twilight woods, which to me smelled lots of sandalwood, but this one is different and more tame. Its BBW not some high end designer, so for me its good when I get out of the shower at night I'm not going anywhere!
I recently bought a few of the small sample-sized lotions from B&BW and this was one of them. I decided I liked it the best of the scents I had picked out, so I pretty much covered myself in it after I showered, before a party last night. Every single guy I hugged when I got there was just entranced by it. They all said it smelled like chocolate, even though thats not even in the notes. Regardless, I got so many compliments! I'm definitely going to buy the perfume version!
I tested the lotion in this fragrance and it's, well, I guess the best word is "okay". It's pretty sweet, nothing in it to make me think of anything "dark", as the name would imply. There's no incense, no berries, nothing but vanilla sweetness. Dark Kiss smells very much like Britney Spears Fantasy, it has that sweet, bubblegummy youthful quality about it. It's cute, but not for me.
Nice! I have this in the shower gel and love it! It is sweet and fruity, yet it has a complex scent to it that I really enjoy. Very long-lasting on my skin hours after my shower, and that's just the shower gel.
THIS SMELLS EXACTLY THE SAME AS MIDNIGHT FANTASY BY BRITNEY SPEARS!!!
And if you get a huge bottle of midnight fantasy online its way better than bath and body works version (which is 30 dollars for a smaller bottle). Really this stuff smells exactly the same. What a rip!
A little too sweet when first applied, but after a minute of settling on the skin, it turns into ripe, sweet, smooth berries and mild, subtle spices. When I smell Dark Kiss, I immediate think of a fragrance that suits autumn... comforting and warm, but still has a hint of summer's vibrancy.
I appreciate the reviews on here and it helps to know what other perfume it smells like. I just purchased this and after a full day I smell like the Strawberry Shortcake doll named "Cherry Cuddler". The good news is, that I love it!
I have not worn this myself, but I have a co-worker who has worn it for a week. I thought she was wearing a cotton candy lotion, because that's what I smelled on her.
It's good lasting power, good sillage, because I can smell her in the lobby of our building when I come in after her.
Standing next to her, I don't smell any musk, any berries or any floral. It smells like candy.
It smells really nice, but the fact that it smells like candy is making me not want to purchase it. I figure I'm a little to old to go around smelling like cotton candy. LOL.
Creamy, Fruity, Yogurty! Deep, but not Dark.
On of my favorite fragrances. The perfume does last longer then you might expect. One of the better newer ones in my opinion. My bf loves it too. Not too strong or offensive. I have had many compliments on this one. If you like vanilla and sweet berries you will like this one. I am not a citrus fragrance gal but I do love vanilla and BBW did well on this one.
The first thing I smelled was vanilla, berries and I don't know why, but I got chocolate too. At any rate, within a few moments I realized what it reminded me of...Angel by Thierry Muegler. It's too rich and deep for me.
The reviewer below is spot on. This is a more tart Midnight Fantasy that isn't as strong. Midnight Fantasy already has a lighter summer doppleganger and that would be Hanae Mori No.1.
Dark Kiss smells good, just like berries and vanilla but for the price you might as well buy Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy or Hanae Mori No. 1. Also, the scent is anything but "dark" unless you are referring to the color of the berries used. LOL!
Overall, it is simply a nice, light, tart and inoffensive berry fragrance. Would keep it if received as a gift but that's about it. ;')
Just checked it out today. From a guy's perspective, it smells like a mixed berries "yogurt" smoothie. Not very sweet. Not dark. It does have some floral'ness with a bit of oriental vanilla character in the scent. It's nice addition but not all that special. A typical B&BW we can expect.
I can't believe I bought this. It smells good and all, very sweet, berries, vanilla, but oh my. It smells like a watered down version of BS Midnight Fantasy. I sprayed Midnight Fantasy on one arm and Dark Kiss on the other and they are almost identical. The notes are not the same, but the scents are very close. This one does not last long though and the BS one does.
Dark Kiss is a smooth berrie Scent, which pleases me with it´s warm, but not too sweet base. Normally I´m not into berry scents at all, but this one has a nice berry side, and is not annoying my nose.
I guess all the other ingredients in this composition make the berries fade to an amount that most people will find very appealing, as well as suitable and wearable.
Not really a "dark" fragrance to me, but a great composition in the BBW section of Low-Price Fragrances!
If you like Twilight Woods you should definetely try this one!
Well done, BBW!
I tested this in lotion form and have no idea how this is an oriental floral. At least in lotion form, this smells like a floral fruity gourmand. The most present note is sweet and very purple berries. There is a whisper of depth and darkness, but only a whisper. Dark kiss is definitle pleasing, but much sweeter than I had anticipated.
