Loubikiss

This is GORGEOUS! I was torn between this and Loubicrown but am so happy I picked this. It is fresh and sparkling but not sharp. It dries down beautifully musky and powdery. A very classic, elegant scent. It is your classic ‘wear with white shirt’ work and life appropriate summery scent. Not good for date night or evenings though this is a day scent. It seems to lean a bit more to the Tuberrose side than the Jasmine and that gives it a little bit of a citrus kick in the opening. Not your usual ‘floral’ scent at all. This is a day-time scent. Perfect for fresh Spring morning and balmy summer days. This scent doesnt project on my sadly but it sits well on my skin and I can smell it hours later if I try to find it which is all that matters. I didnt know what to expect from the brand.. to be honest I think I was expecting some super sugary vulgar orientals. This is such a lovely perfume BUT so so mismatched to its packaging. The bottle is heavy and luxurious with a stunning sugar skull but this will make it impossible to travel with or throw in a handbag. I wish it was in a simple frosted vial!

I actually love this fragrance, but then it has all the sort of notes that I love as well! Anything that lasts a decent amount of time with decent sillage and realistic white floral notes is a lovely perfume in my book. I could smell the sweet and lush jasmine and the sweet and heady tuberose as soon as I sprayed this perfume onto my skin, which delighted me. I got some of the musk and the woods in the drydown, but it wasn't prominent, which I prefer. It kind of reminds me of Vert Malachite by Giorgio Armani, except less bubblegummy and more natural smelling. I had about 5 hours wear on my skin and a sillage that you could smell at about arm's length away. I like how feminine this fragrance is and how you can wear it for all seasons except winter, both day and night. It is very versatile. Altogether, I would give this fragrance an 8.6/10. I find it slightly expensive for what it is, but I still think that this fragrance is worth it. I could imagine a very sensual and confident woman wearing this scent for sure.

I finally finished sampling my gorgeous Louboutin discovery set, which, by the way, wins the prize for best discovery kit packaging. Loubikiss and my fave, Loubicroc are the best out of the bunch. All of them were quite nice, but these two stood out, to me. Loubikiss is a jasmine dominant floral scent that is very elegant, straight forward and well crafted. The projection is very good. I dabbled a small amount on my both wrists and it's projecting like crazy. I'll update this on the longevity and dry down. I suspect this is a safe blind buy if you love jasmine. Later - The projection starts to diminish after about an hour, although it's still stronger than a skin scent. You get about 4-5 hours out of it.

It is delicious! Tops my very long collection of tuberose/jasmine scents. I agree with @trillav below, Loubikiss is in between Carnal Flower and Malachite Rouge, although much more transparent / Chrystal light, less coconut heavy than MR. If you are familiar with Acqua di Parma Jasmine Nobile - it is just that but for a combo Jasmine Tuberose. It absolutely stunningly merges with the skin chemistry of the wearer without suffocating neither the wearer nor the people around. It stays for days on the clothes reminding about its existence with a coquette smile.

This is the fragrance that has solidified the fact that tuberose is one of my favorite floral notes out there. There's a very light, yet present greeness to this, almost like you're really standing in the middle of a garden while the flowers bloom. Once the green feeling disappears, you're left with a slight sweetness from the tuberose. It's one of those sexy florals. Mature , flirty but absolutely lady-like. Definitely one of the best spring/fall fragrances out there.
