Ungaro Love Kiss Emanuel Ungaro for women

25.januray 2013

OK, maybe i don´t do fair justice to this fragrance, since it is below zero outside and a lot of snow and this is a very summery fragrance, but i want to start by saying that it has literally no good staying power and sillage. Yes, it is EDT, but it is very weak. I can hardly smell it very close to my skin after 4 hrs already. For me this is a weak one.
It is quite syntetic and starts with a blast of carambola and soft notes of pineapple on the background. Carambola is actually most dominanting note here, not pineapple. Then there is a strong freesia with a soft (again) note of citrus. All is very much dissolved and very watery. No rose, no sandalwood, ok, maybe... MAYBE a almost non-existing musk note with a trace of orchid, but i wouldn´t guess them if i didn´t know they are present here.
Might be quite good for hot summer day, but today while i was testing it i was very dissaponted. I still will not rate it as a dislikable one, because i will give it another try during summertime and will definitly write an update review.
This is NOT a bad fragrance at all, it just has a bad quality.

UPDATE (few hours later): OK, so i have found a press release for this fragrance and it expalins all. (my personal translation into english, so be kind)
"Female floral fruity fragrance "Ungaro Love kiss" is created by the house Emanuel Ungaro in 2012. This fresh, moderatly sweet, slightly woody and citrusy, floral fruity fragrance by Ungaro is launched as an uplifting, refreshing, exotic perfume which reflect the multifaceted aromas of exotic beaches. This fragrance imporves your mood, gives you a sense of chill and relax on a hot summer day. Better is to be used as a day fragrance, fuly blooms during warm spring-summer period of the year".

Well, you see, probably i was dissapointed also because it is still a summer time fragrance and now it just doesn´t "blooms" like it should be. And yes, it indeed gives you chilling and refreshing feeling, so i better go back and buy one bottle while it is still on sale and try it during this summer, so i can give a fair justice to the juice. :)

UPDATE (30.january 2013). Ok, now i have purchased several botles of this fragrance and gifted some to my girls and they love it! And you know what? It does smell amazing on them, maybe my nose is just used to more potent fragrances, more heavy, more orienatl, but after sniffing it on them i alos degan to like it very much and bought ALL the bottles they had in the store. I remeber when recently visiting a friend of mine after entering her apartment the forst thing i asked: "My, what smells soooo good?" And the answer was: "Well, that´s your gifted Ungaro!" YUM! :))
