Dark Kiss

Sexy, sweet, warm, smoky, deep, sensual, tempting, fruity, juicy, musky, inviting, seductive, addictive, enchanting Damn, this is sexy! Especially for a B&BW fragrance. I love it! The black raspberry, incense, plum, amber, and dark vanilla bean are the most prominent notes to me. I do get a bit of the vetiver, geranium, rose, and musk as well, but they’re more subtle. The black raspberry and plum add a really pretty, sweet yet tart, juicy fruity scent. The incense adds this really sexy, dark, and smoky scent that’s elevated by the vetiver. The amber adds a gorgeous golden resinous warmth that goes perfectly with the sensual dark vanilla bean that together swirls throughout the fragrance adding it’s sensuality and golden warmth Sexy, sweet, dark, smoky, warm, tempting, and really beautiful! I absolutely love it! Dark Kiss is a well balanced and rather unique fragrance, especially from B&BW! I’ve always thought this scent works exceptionally well during the fall and winter. I really love the unique incense note in this, and how it adds a sexy smokiness! It works so well with the other notes, keeps the fragrance from being too sweet or overly rosy floral, and all without being overpowering itself. The incense note also really helps with the whole sexy and dark feel of this scent. Dark Kiss has always reminded me of B&BW Black Amethyst and VS Seduction Dark Orchid. Even somewhat of VS Tease Candy Noir too. This is one of my all time favorites of the B&BW fragrances from over the years, and I hope to always have it in my collection! Currently I own it in the fragrance, body mist, lotion, and body wash. I get very good performance with Dark Kiss, especially when I use the lotion and mist together. The longevity is great for a body mist, it lasts throughout the majority of the day on me. The projection is nice too, it radiates out at least an arm’s length from me. The performance gets even better whenever I use the body care products with it too.

As it begins drying down the top notes are joined by warm golden amber, velvety rose, lush peony, and a touch of sweet geranium. Once it’s dried down it gains sensual vanilla, soft musk, and rich balsamic resin. The deep dry down reads sort of like juicy berry sweet tarts which just very vaguely reminds me of GdT Celeste (one of my top favorites) as to me Celeste reads like violet and vanilla sweet tarts, it’s very fairy dust-y and fairy-like imo. This is quite complex and sophisticated, especially for BBW. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge BBW fan, and really enjoy their fragrances. However, this is something that’s on the more unique side, which I also love. Dark Kiss has a good bit of depth to it, which is nice in tis sort of a scent. Definitely a fall and winter fragrance, but works during the cooler/colder weather of early spring too. For reference, some of my other favorite mists and BBW fragrances include Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Sand, Phlur Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, Beach Skin, Cashmere Skin, SDJ Summer è Amor, 62, 39, 40, VS Vanilla Lace, Glitter Hustle, BBW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Fireside Flurries, Frosted Snowdrop, Frosted Wonderland, Vanilla Bean Noel, Coco Paradise, Oahu Coconut Sunset, At the Beach *I also wanted to mention that my bottle is from at least a few years back if it matters. I also own the body care products, and get the best performance when using them together.

Seriously one of the best scents from BBW besides Vanilla Berry Sorbet, and both are discontinued! Gah! I wore this all through middle school and partially through highschool, it's a sultry, warm, and floral scent, a beautiful violet growing in a gloomy English forest. This would be a great inexpensive date night perfume. About a month ago I was thinking of old BBW scents and this one instantly came to my mind, luckily you can still easily find the body sprays for a reasonable price; so I bought one. Some are saying it reminds them of BBW's Into The Night, I agree. That's the exact reason why I got the body lotion because it reminded me of Dark Kiss so much, I'm excited to layer the Dark Kiss body spray with ITN lotion because they will blend so well together and make the scent last longer. I wouldn't say ITN is an exact dupe for Dark Kiss but I would say they're similar and would compliment eachother beautifully worn together as a lotion/perfume set. I don't think I'll set out to spend $50-80 on a EPD (that's what I found based of eBay) when I remember the body spray being just as good, the only thing is that it just doesn't last long at all, putting it on top of lotion helps, but its also like $12, and it last a good while on clothes. UPDATE: I went into BBW about a month ago and saw they had this back! Literally a week after I got one off eBay, lol, that's how it always plays out huh? I got another bottle as a back up, so I guess this is a scent BBW brings back every now and then, wish they did that with vanilla berry sorbet!! They have dark kiss lotion/body wash always available on their online store, but not always the body spray, so if you love this and see it available, grab it!!!

This is not a typical B&BW fragrance at all. This (even moreso than In The Stars) is the most atypical thing to come out of this house, I honestly can't even believe they released this. It's extremely dark and sensual, almost gothic. It opens with some stunning smoky incense notes, accompanied by rich blackberries. The bergamot is the only note to help lighten it at all. The body of dark rose and peony is very noticable, and it's a fragrance that is relatively easy to discern; if someone passed me wearing this I would instantly know Some from B&BW don't seem to match the note descriptions, but this does. Even though rose and peony are listed as middle notes, they seem to linger all day with the base notes of vanilla, musk and vetiver. The vetiver is VERY easy to detect, so I would avoid this one if you aren't appreciative of it. This is a beautiful, and highly evocative (and dare I say it, erotic) fragrance. I had a backup bottle at one point, but it was stolen with my purse. I rarely have extra FFMs because they last me years, but I'm relieved that I actually had a spare (some punk had a nice gift for someone who is probably gross, and it bothers me to think about 😑). I also have extra lotion, and sometimes I skip the mist altogether and use just the lotion around my neck and shirt collar, because it's sufficient and very dense. This is a gem and shouldn't be overlooked if you like dark, sexy things that work in the wintertime (or autumn, but I chalked it up to winter) It's not super high-end smelling, but it's pretty awesome.

I used to wear this when I was 11! Smelling it now, ten years later, is quite the nostalgia trip. When I was little, I had the actual bottle of perfume. Now, I only have the body mist. The perfume of course was much stronger, lasted longer. I thought it was an attractive grown-up scent. This smells soooo good.. I get musky, plummy rich fruit, velvety florals, light amber wrapped in vanilla. It is so complex and luxurious to my nose. I can see why everyone deemed it a night time scent- even though I wore it any time of day, and for some reason, especially in the warm weather. Because of that, I get a sort of warm tropical feeling when I smell it? It’s delicious, and now that I’ve read the reviews, I can see the berry yogurt they’re talking about! I can smell lactonic blackberry, but it’s somewhat overtaken by the rich vanilla, amber and musk, which makes it heavier in the best way. Hot and heavy. I get a similar smokiness of the incense that I got from Lady Gaga’s Fame perfume. My younger nose liked mostly fresh, floral, and fruity scents. Now I lean towards gourmand, with fresh/floral/fruit as accents. So a long time ago I smelled more of a warm, ambery, tropical floral, and now I can get that blackberry frozen yogurt undertone. This is an especially unique and sensual scent. Super sexy, mysterious, feminine. Dark purple vibes and dark, sparkling eyes. Vanillic amber, velvety floral, rich blackberry and plum, a relaxing, warm tropical night.
