Il Bacio is a very sweet,feminine floral,sweet aroma.First comes an idyllic fresh-cut bouquet of flowers(lily-rose-honeysucle).Then
sweety melon and fruits.Ends with the soft smell of amber and musk.Sweety and soft.Very special aroma.

Very sweet, equally "fruity" and "floral". Not very juicy, creamy or steamy-for me, all of those descriptions might mean a satisfying scent. This is quite satisfying, but in a particular, imperfect way. The lack of citrus notes sets this apart from the usual crowd of floral fruity perfumes. The honeysuckle
and freesia stand out for me. Having such a sticky sweet fragrance satisfies my desire to be unabashedly, unashamedly pretty-girly....But people who don't care for perfume will probably especially hate this one, in all of its strength and hyperbole. I also would have hated this just a few years ago!
This is neither a day fragrance, nor a night fragrance-and you won't smell this on me every day, or every night--I will often need respite fragrances with more complex characters.

Update: My opinion of this fragrance hasn't changed. I should point out that I thought this was a bit much, causing a taste in the mouth during the summer. It is better in autumn, tastier fruit without being a perfume that sits in my mouth. But the staying power is not so great-it fades in leaps.

This smells lovely and feminine. It is quite strong after the initial spray with its all floral top notes but takes just a few minutes to dry down to a truly sweet and alluring scent that lingers on for hours. To me, this is an inoffensive white floral scent with a hint of fruits and mint(?) swimming underneath, very charming and poised.

It reminds me of Diorissimo a little, probably is the lily of valley they both have, definitely the more confident one of the two sisters.

I adore this perfume and I wish the marketing people at Borghese would give the packaging a makeover - it's kind of Marie Antoinette-esqe at the moment, isn't necessarily unattractive but it certainly looks too 'old school' to appeal to its possibly new perhaps younger target market. The scent its self is a jewel that has passed the test of time, a little polishing would surely make it shine.

I found this in 1993 and have been hoarding it ever since. If I could only pick one fragrance it would be this one. It is addicting and I get countless compliments whenever I wear it.

a bit vintage gave a most accurate review. Sweet, warm and creamy is the perfect description.

a bit vintage

I wore this in the 90's and loved it's sweet, warm, creamy aroma w/ just a bit of spice. I enjoyed the creamy honeysuckle and plum that lingered with me throughout the day. Sadly, I have not been able to find this in a really long time.
