Hawaii Passionfruit Kiss

I wish people could understand my fascination with fragrance, ANY fragrance, and not just the usual, and often expensive, colognes and perfumes. If they did, they would understand why I am happy to review anything from Tom Ford and Jo Malone to Nautica and Bath & Body Works! But back to my review, when Hawaii Passionfruit Kiss became available as a mini perfume, I had to try it (I already use the lotion, but wanted more fragrance). It's very light and fruity, and reminds me of a fruit smoothie. I can’t imagine this offending anyone around you, if they can smell anything at all. It’s been compared to Lush Pink Dragonfruit, but Lush Pink is slightly more tart, more fruity, although both are weak. It SHOULD have been called, "Rainy Day in Hawaii" because it's so weak and watery. You might as well fill a little spray bottle with water and spray yourself! UPDATE: This fragrance isn't bad at all, but should have been named Coral Sands (not to be confused with Yankee Candles PINK Sands) because it smells more sandy than fruity. I thought this "perfume" was PARFUM strength, but too weak, so I don't know why it is called perfume.

I have such strong memories of a certain summer that this spray evokes. I know that scent is very closely associated with memory, and I can definitely tell with this scent. It's perfectly summery, fruity, fresh, and girly. It is fitting for a teenage girl's summer break. The tropical fruits are so happy and make me feel like I'm on a beach somewhere warm. It is a pretty weak perfume, but that is expected of B&BW.

My coworker commented that I smelled good today so I guess this one's a winner!

The notes on this one are so well blended, that it just smells like all things fruity-tropical. I would say it smells like a fruit smoothie (as mentioned below), but it's not quite as "juicy" or "vibrant" for me to say that. The first thing I thought of when spraying was that it smelled similar to a few Escada perfumes from the 2000s, if you rolled them all into one - a non-descript blend, but still very pleasant tropical fruit mix. Longevity + projection are both weak - I think it's actually poorer than the mists, as it disappeared from my wrists not long after 30 minutes. Given the price/how hard this one is to find, you're probably better off investing in something like BBW's "Tiki Bay Island Margarita" mist instead (delicious tropical fruity blend that projects well and has decent lasting power!).

I received this as a gift and I really like it. I usually do not like fruit based cologne/perfume at all. But, this one is so light and airy that it works very well for me. It is a fruity, but very clean scent. Reminds me a little of a fragrance Avon had in the late 1960's, Hawaiian White Ginger, because it is light and tropical smelling. Not as spicy, but everything else is there. It is worth a try for those of us who do not like heavy scents. It is subtle and pleasant. It is good for both day and evening wear.
