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.

Sweet, fruity, vanilla, warm/amber, smoky, rose, balsamic, powdery, musky, Feminine, chic, Sensual, seductive, sexy, sophisticated, deep, dark, rich, luscious, Sultry, mysterious, enchanting, alluring, tempting, addictive, intriguing, inviting, cozy, comforting, unique On me this opens with sweet and juicy black raspberry, jammy and dark plum, smoky incense, and a whisper of bright bergamot. 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.

A true GEM 💎 from BBW. I’m addicted to Dark Kiss. I love it more than many designer and niche perfumes, and I have a LOT. DK is not the run of the mill berry vanilla scent. (Watch out for the coming running sentence 😂) DK is deep, dark, resinous, mature, luscious, seductive, juicy, unique, bewitching, edgy, alluring...... I can go all day long really. I love it so much. I have the wash, lotion, FFM, EDT and EDP! Yes it’s full of very sweet dark berries and vanilla but the resins, incense and labdanum elevate it to just another level, so mysterious and intriguing. It starts with passionately strong resinous plummy berries and ends with warmly seductive, edgy but still smooth and creamy musk and vetiver. I think the plum here is more dark and juicy than the tangy and yellow mirabelle variety. I wear it for date nights at home and spray my clothes with it whenever I’m wearing La Nuit Tresor, Euphoria or even good old Poison. The name and color are spot on. The performance is amazing; the lotion and mist will last 6-8 hours (especially the older narrow waisted bottles). I keep smiling all day whenever I catch a whiff of it, which makes me sometimes wonder why I keep bothering with hundreds other perfumes. This is so me 💕💕💕💕

I have never been excited about a B&BW scent. Okay, I like Twilight Woods shower gel, but that's it. I got the Dark Kiss shower gel last year when they had their big sale. I bought two bottles of this along with maybe 8 other shower gels. (They were so inexpensive!) I went through several before I came to Dark Kiss. WOW. I was shocked. I don't know what it is but the smell is intoxicating. I immediately went on the hunt for more, but to my dismay, I found it was discontinued in store. Luckily, I found the shower gel, lotion, and body splash on their website and I snatched up a big load of it. Unfortunately, I have had to resort to eBay for the EDT, as the body spray (although yummy!) does not last. Overall, I have fallen in love with this scent even though it is cheap smelling, very sweet, and kind of "lame" in comparison to all my VERY expensive Guerlains, etc. But who cares? There are times when this is what I am in the mood for, and I find myself craving it! It's sweet, juicy, rich, warm, and the incense doesn't really smell like incense, but I think it's what makes the scent so mmmmmmm good! And as a random side note, this is the only shower gel I own that can remove the rank smell of self tanner!

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!

Currently I own it in the fragrance, body mist, lotion, and body wash. I get really great longevity with Dark Kiss, it lasts the entire 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.

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.

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 an exquisite, rich, and very sweet fragrance that has always been one of Bath & Body Works' best. It is dark, yes, thanks to the rose and incense, but also very, very fruity. If you're not prepared for a highly fruity scent, you may not enjoy it. The vanilla is also very nice but the berries and plum dominate. It contains no chocolate, but the combination mimics chocolate with the same consuming power. This strength makes it last longer than the other light florals in the same line. I think it's very sexy and best for cold, nighttime wear, certainly not on a muggy day. A mature (for B&BW) 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.

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.

Oh Dark Kiss, you are a special one. When this came out, I was in high school and I HATED it. I thought it smelled too spicy, too much patchouli and I just couldn't wrap my head around it because I was used to the likes of Cucumber Melon, Warm Vanilla Sugar, and Japanese Cherry Blossom. Fast forward and of course my tastes have evolved over time and I love this fragrance! Patchouli is not a listed note but it's definitely there. I love scents with patchouli or anything that kind of mimics it. The magic isn't hard to feel when you spray this on, it's sweet, dark, and deep. Blackberry, vanilla, the incense... it lasts forever on clothes and it projects nicely. I'm not a fan of putting genders to scents, so I'd say that a man could wear this and it would be just as sexy.

I layered the fragrance mist over the body lotion and the scent lasted over 9 hours on me (a definite 1st for any BBW fragrance I've bought over the years). For the first 2-3 hrs, the scent was strong sweet berries & vanilla (my co-workers told me I smelled like a candy shop and i wasn't sure if they meant it to be complimentary). After that initial sweet burst, the scent quieted down a little and reminded me of Sweet Tarts candy. Later in the afternoon towards the end of my work day the scent changed again to a kind of smokey incense with faint hints of vanilla (which I did not enjoy). I'm enjoying wearing Dark Kiss during the Summer and think that it'll also work during the Fall on me because of the dry from sweet berries to smoky vanilla.

Maybe I'm biased, as I wear the body mist just about every day, but this...really doesn't seem as seductive or sultry as a lot of people make it out to be? To me, I pick up blackberry, plum, vanilla, and a little rose. It's sweet and fruity with touches of floral—like ice cream made out of Strongbow Dark Fruit. Definitely a bit flirty, but it doesn't scream "Bond girl" or anything. For a B&BW mist though? Absolutely gorgeous. Even for a fragrance, it's addictive. It lasts a good 7-8 hours on me, which is crazy for a fragrance mist. I never expect it to last that long, so I'm ALWAYS guilty of being near other women and thinking "wow, she smells SO good," only to sniff myself and realize it's me like 15 seconds later.

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 just got the mist together with BBW Sensual Amber. Was so curious as to how this smells based on the reviews, some comparing it to Midnight Fantasy and Philosophy's Falling in Love. While I haven't smelled MF I used to own FiL and adored it. At first spray I got a little sour note which made me think of detergent (must have been the bergamot, looking at the notes here). But that disappears after a few minutes and what's left is a dark berry vanilla amber scent that's an instant love for me. The incense and musk adds to the scent some depth, something which I believe is lacking in some Philosophy scents. Comparing it to Falling in Love I'd choose Dark Kiss.

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 just started my body mist collection a few months ago and got this last week at the recent SAS in body mist and it is my first time to smell this scent. I immediately fell in love with it. It is different from most of my sweet, candy like body mists I own. It smells deep, rich and yummy in a fruity way. I immediately searched for similar fragrances like this and midnight fantasy seems to high rank. I haven’t tried that perfume yet so I might blind buy it soon to satisfy my craving for this dark kiss scent I like. If anyone has any suggestions or more dupes for dark kiss pls comment up above and I will be very grateful.

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!! :)
