Loverdose Red Kiss

A while back on my quest for the perfect perfume, mainly looking at the TXMaxx's online website because they have expensive perfumes on the cheap, I found the Loverdose and Loverdose Red Kiss on sale. I first looked at the original Loverdose and after reading a review saying that it's Licoricey, which I'm not a big fan of, I decided to have a look at Loverdose Red Kiss and as I was looking for a sweet, not deep perfume at the time, the chocolate put me off. Recently, I came back to the perfume and read the reviews on fragrantica, and after reading the reviews and seeing barely any negative reviews, and those which are negative say that the perfume is nice but not for them, half awake me decided to buy a 5ml for £5 off Ebay to see if it really was up my street. My boyfriend had the Only The Brave diesel aftershave which I really liked, and I knew that Diesel has unique scents, so I also bought it for that reason. It arrived yesterday and when I took it out of the packaging, I could already smell it. It smelt delicious. The main notes I can smell initially are sugary apples and as it dries down it becomes more apricot and has a nice deep background scent to compliment it, though I can't pin point it from the notes. Is it synthetic smelling? A bit. I love the sugariness of this perfume, as it's sweet, but not too sweet. Don't get me wrong, it's no Sweet Like Candy by Ariana Grande, but it still has a nice sweet scent to it. It reminds me of the classic sweet perfume mixed with Avon's Far Away for the base (Which I believe someone may have mentioned below and also enticed me to buy as I loved smelling Far Away on my mum). I'd say this perfume is quite sexy, not a deep musky sexy, but a sweet perfume with a sexy undertone which makes you feel grown up and powerful. As a 19 year old, I feel like this perfume is perfect for me. It's still sweet yet also has a mature tone to it. If I had to choose when it would be best to wear this perfume, I would say night time in winter and autumn, however I personally will wear it during the day. I'd like to specify, that I don't think this perfume is for specific for this age, but suitable for anyone above. There's no real age to it. I've ended up buying it online so it'll take a bit to get here, but I'll update my review when the actual bottle arrives. I would definitely say that this is a unique scent. It's special. I've never really smelt anything like it. The closest perfume I could describe it as is Avon's Far Away, as the dry down is both powdery and sexy besides the sweetness. I'd definitely recommend it. It's pretty cheap too! You can smell it on your clothes the next day too!

I bought this for the bottle, which is fantastic. To me, Diesel Loverdose Red Kiss reads as a vague, synthetic floral-fruity-gourmand. It is definitely pleasant and soft. It has a dash of tartness without being the excessive sourness seen in Angel Eau Sucree. I do not typically wear tart/sour perfumes, aside from maybe Very Good Girl by Carolina Herrera or Melrose Place by Ouai. Red Kiss reminds me of a celebrity scent or something else of that nature I wore in high school. Maybe this could compare to a Victoria's Secret mist, without the weird plasticky aftersmell I detect on those. I have not had more than 15 minutes Red Kiss on my arm. I will update later when it dries down. Update, about an hour later: this continues to hover close to the skin for me. I find Red Kiss even more pleasant as it dries to a sugary hazelnut. This scent is still not "me" but I can see it as an easy "dumb reach" everyday perfume for sweet tangy gourmand-floral lovers. ETA: 5/28/22 Now that my nose has recovered more from COVID back in December, I must say this fragrance is richer, fruitier, and more gourmand than I initially recognized. It's a like, bordering on love now. It's not overly sour to me anymore, and you can absolutely smell the chocolate-hazelnut. Imagine the bottle as a faceted rock of fruity hard candy with a synthetic yet delicious chocolate-hazelnut-amber spread inside. I cannot imagine this being offensive to anyone. It's like a red-fruit, chocolatey second cousin of Ariana Grande's Sweet Like Candy. If we were to compare Loverdose Red Kiss to Mugler Angel Muse, another popular chocolate-hazelnut fragrance, there are some huge differences. Muse is much more "realistic" and richly, deeply sweet chocolate-hazelnut fragrance (almost like literal Nutella), with a prominent dash of icy patchouli and green vetiver lingering throughout. The base notes keep the chocolate-hazelnut lingering pleasantly and smoothly for me. Muse is more "grown." Muse is spicy and not fruity at all to me. I agree with those who perceive forest nymph vibes from Angel Muse. Meanwhile, Red Kiss reads much less intense to me in sillage and lasting power. Red Kiss is a gourmand in terms of literal sugar, artificial colors and flavors, and sweet decadence. Red Kiss is much less chocolatey and nutty, as it seems really balanced like a typical designer fragrance pyramid blending into a general pleasant scent. Red Kiss would easily be a love potion for most men IMO, while Muse has a feminine, confident sexiness.

This a beautiful, sweet and crowd pleasing fragrance, no muss no fuss. I can see why it is a 'man magnet' for most reviewers. Having said that, you might not find it the same if you don't let it develop. It takes it a while to warm up but the dry down is absolutely beautiful. In the first minutes it smells like tropical fruit juice nectar (heavy on the peach, some mangoes, passion fruit, everything you could smell in a juice carton- albeit less sour - the nectar reference), with sugar (powdered, no Jimmy Choo screech here) patchouli and lipstick. Those early 90's cheap lipsticks with their unidentifiable scent that might be glazed berries, might be sweetened plastic, might be 'vanilla', might just be cupcakes or just 'something sweet'. I think it's tonka bean. It's FAR FAR FAR better in the dry down. The colder it is outside, the warmer and creamier this becomes. The fruit turns into aroma, with 0 sourness. Very subdued and only a youthful scent of sweetness. I can then smell flowery powderiness as well, like iris and jasmine 'oud', if such a thing existed (or maybe it does). Even slightly addictive, I sniff myself to no end trying to put my finger exactly on the note I like so much, but I can't. This performs better than a celebrity fragrance (Paris Hilton comes to mind), so this is what sets it apart for a non-super designer scent. Also, it is quite expensive for a Diesel fragrance, it costs almost as much as Stella McCartney in Belgium. I find its seductive notes (in the dry down) to be similar to I Am Juicy Couture, but far sweeter, less plasticky, much more refined and wearable. Btw that one is a highly raved perfume in reviews, allegedly a 'secret' man magnet. EDIT: Have been wearing this the entire day, from morning until now, 16:33 hrs. Wow. This just keeps transforming, it got even better. It smells so, SO expensive! Sexy sweet AND flowery elegant. The alchemy of perfume! EDIT 2: The drydown is similar to Far Away from Avon, but not as harsh on the patchouli and rose- creamier and more faint.

I blind bought Loverdose Red Kiss due to the fact that quite a few reviewers here have said that it is a "man magnet" !! It arrived in the mail yesterday and I was soo excited as I put it on (as you do with new perfumes). Once settled (2-3 minutes) I asked my husband to sniff and tell me what he thought, and he said "meh, this isn't a man magnet, Chanel no. 5 is" so LOL there you go. Pick your audience I'd say. I'd imagine this would be liked by young men and/or people who are not into or familiar with the classics like No. 5 and Shalimar etc. I'm also one of these people. I own Chanel no. 5 and use it often because my husband loves it and it is thought to be classy and sophisticated so I put it on whenever I want to project that certain image, but sadly I cannot say I've ever truly enjoyed no. 5. But I do enjoy Diesel Loverdose Red Kiss. I understand the appeal and can see how this is quite a crowd pleaser. I feel pretty and attractive when I have Red Kiss on, but for me I'd like more personality. To me this perfume smells like a pretty girl who fits perfectly into the conventional beauty standard, with massive following on social media where she posts photos of herself in sexy dresses, showing off her perfect figure. So yes, I feel it is a perfume for the mass market, but not necessarily a bad thing!! Some might say it's a weapon of mass seduction. So all in all, I like it but not love it as it doesn't speak to my true personality, plus it smells a tad artificial and simple, but I'll wear it when I want to seduce the mass LOL. Longevity is Great. On me it lasts all day at work (8+ hours). Projection is also GREAT, almost gives me a headache, just almost, so spray with caution.

I absolutely love the original Loverdose and this comes close to the original for me. It's notes are very different, but the powdery, sugary drydown of Red Kiss reminds me of Loverdose's dry down. The only difference is that Loverdose's dry down has more vanilla. Red Kiss is no gourmand, the hazelnut and cacao are noticeable but they do not take center stage. Definitely a scent for the colder days. Longevity is amazing, 14 hours later and I can still smell it on my wrist. It projects nicely, and people close to you will be able to smell it on you. It's not a sillage monster though. Upon first spray I smell the fresh fruits. Fresh green apple is the first thing I notice, mixed with some black currant. The sugar, bergamot and orange blossom are also there, but more muted. I really love smelling the fruits, especially in the morning when I just woke up. After the first hour Red Kiss starts to settle down into a comfy mixture of mostly sugar with hazelnut and a hint of cocoa and orange blossom still. I can't smell the apricot in this at all. The dry down is my favorite stage. Looking at the notes in Red Kiss, I know that it's a mixture of sugar, hazelnut and amber. The combination of sugar and hazelnut strongly smells of vanilla. I'm actually surprised that there is no actual vanilla in this because I'd swear it's what I smell. The dry down is very cozy and comforting, a perfect scent for just laying around in bed or on the couch. That's why I love oriental vanilla scents, they're just so soft and give me comfy, relaxed and warm feelings.

I was at TK Maxx yesterday and found both Loverdose EDP 50 ml and Loverdose Red Kiss EDP 50 ml on clearance for 18£ each. I wasn't familiar with either one, so I pulled out my phone and started scrolling down the reviews on Fragrantica and a few minutes later the decision was made to buy them, then and there. I stopped by the mall afterwards and smelled Loverdose and boy were the reviews spot on! Very very similar to Lolita Lempicka. Dry down is gorgeous. As for Red Kiss, again the reviewers weren't wrong. Looks like it's been discontinued because I wanted to sample it before opening mine, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I didn't know what to expect so the anticipation level was a bit high. I sprayed it on my forearm and I immediately understood the reason why it was compared to the likes of Black XS, Black Opium, Armani Sí, Bonbon Viktor&Rolf and so on. Initial blast felt loud, sensual and luxurious à la Poison by Dior but I wasn't able to put my hands on where this scent is taking me to. After it settled on my skin, it morphed into something divine with sweet chocolate-y hazelnut having primary control. Creamy goodness in a beautiful ruby red bottle. N.B: Dry down of Red kiss is reminiscent of Alexandrie mon Amour by Georges Rech.

Confession time: I "accidentally" bought this when I'd had a few too many. I was going after the original Loverdose but somehow this one found its way into my basket as well. I'd become curious about it after reading the notes and reviews but other than that it was a total blind buy. Well thankfully, it turns out Drunk Me knows what's good! On first sniff I immediately found myself liking this but it's really not what I was expecting. It's very sweet spicy, and initially I got a lot of hazelnut and cacao as described, but conversely to me it's mostly very, very fresh with an almost clean element to it! Straight away I though to myself, Shouldn't this be in a turquoise bottle?? I guess it's the apple and bergamot my skin amps up that give this scent its watery quality, which certainly sounds like it would be a disaster mixed with the Nutella-like base, but somehow it works so well. I find it to be a very nuanced and totally unique fragrance, there's nothing else I've ever smelt that is comparable to this. My like very quickly turned to a love and I fall for it harder each time I wear it. It's sexy and exciting, hugely long lasting, very unusual and deeply addictive. Highly recommend!

I found this underrated gem due to a YTuber Jeremy Fragrance. Diesel is missing out big time by not making this into a set. I LOVE the hints of Cacao, it's a playful, sexy fragrance one would think Victoria Secrets would have released. Sheer seduction is all I can think. I paid $54 from Macys when they had their sale + the 10% Reauken cash back. 💘💘💘💘 this scent. As far as the other perfumes made from this line, meh, this one is a stunner. I hope Diesel makes it into a set complete with bath bomb, lotion, leg oil, and a hair fragrance. It doesn't have the staying power of something like poison but if they wanted to up their game with this gem, just add more oil to the EDP version. I think Western companies could learn a lot by taking a page out of the alcohol free perfume market like UAE, Swiss Arabian, Rasasi, I would wear this as an oil. I hope this is never discontinued.

OH MY GOSHHH, THIS is SO SCRUMPTIOUS and a LITERAL MAN MAGNET (in my experience anyway) This is BY FAR my favourite loverdose. But why does it garner so many compliments from men?? Well it's the perfect concoction of fruits-cocoa-patchouli without being too buttery or heavy. It's got a freshness to it thanks to the bergamote, apple, apricots & blackcurrant. This is my only non-vanilla cold weather fragrance that gets so much attention!! First spray: Bergamote, green apple sugary sweetness..seconds later followed by the blackcurrant, orange blossom, cocoa and faint hazelnuts mixed with patchouli/amber. Not to mention it lasts a long time on my skin & the sillage is pretty good too! Basically Red Kiss is the lovechild of Mugler Angel Muse and Giorgio Armani Si Passione. Which I am both a fan of, but this one has won me over. I love it. I'll repurchase it forever.

SDM has had Loverdose, Red Kiss and Tattoo on the $20 shelf in the past month or so. Today I found Red Kiss. They still had the tester in cosmetics so I was able to try it before buying. I proceeded to buy two bottles. As a sweet perfume lover, this is my jam. As for a man-magnet, my husband's opinion was, "smells like perfume". It's the sugar note right away that caught me. Then all the other notes start mixing in and as it settles it's a delicious, smoldering, sweet scent. Not just linear sugar like some of the other uber-sweet scents, Pink Sugar for instance. This one has more going on. I catch the fruit, it's got the floral, the nutty notes and a nice base of amber. Everything is blended so well it comes together in a beautiful way. Projection is good, I could catch the scent as I moved. I'm so glad I bought the second backup bottle. I love it.

I am a huge Loverdose fan, the black bottle Tattoo is the fragrance that I think is closest to being my "personality" perfume. When I first tried RED KiSS I was a bit disappointed in the hazelnut note, it wasn't As full frontal as in GOLD ROBERTO CAVALLI and it was the promise of the hazelnut that had me excited about this and I was all 'meh'. Well me and RED KISS have had ourselves quiet a relationship now and I have to say with out a doubt this perfume has been commented on by men more than any perfume I own. I work with a high turn over of public and men from every category have made positive comments on this more than any of my fairly sizeable collection. Dudes love it! Can't argue with Statistics. Scent 10 (by opinion poll) / 10 bottle 10/10 ... cant wait for the next colour.

Wow, i really love this perfume!! Oriental vanillas/gourmands are my favourite and this doesn't disappoint! It's warm, inviting, creamy chocolatey heaven! I get a huge blast of nutty chocolate when first sprayed, then it settles into a pleasant creamy, almost edging on fruity scent with the orange blossom and blackcurrant peeking through, but the hazelnut and cacao shine most in this. I certainly don't get a 'nutella' vibe from it, which i thought i would, as the other notes stop that from happening, and the patchouli and amber come through just enough to turn it into more of a deeper, not overly sweet smell. It dries down to such a warm inviting addictive scent, which lasts absolutely ages! Perfect for the cooler weather that's fast approaching.

Hahah to all those who know a true choco scent this is definitely it!!!! It is there and it's loud , leaning skittle to the dusty side but all the juicy current keeps it tart and the hazelnut is creamy and almost oily , I adore this is extremely sweet , this is like so good I can't stop smelling my wrist ! Don't listen to anyone saying they can't smell the chocolate 🍫 hahaha 😅 so beautiful, this could be layered with a type of vanilla , maybe 7 virtues vanilla would be bomb and the scent goes on and on and I can smell it days after on my pillow and clothes Edit: This is truly a beautiful fragrance! It somehow reminds me a tad of alien crossed with Armani satin , this perfume red kiss is now sadly discontinued and you can’t find it anywhere

Just gorgeous, I think this is like D&G The One’s sexier and more rebellious younger sister! Some of you are going to think I’m crazy for even comparing the two but I have both & I personally think there’s a similarity. While The One is softer, quieter, creamier & more sophisticated (think more appropriate to wear for work & daytime) Red Kiss is punchier, sexier, nuttier with similar dna and loyalty in that she lasts ages, she just makes herself more noticeable than The One! She’s the louder one! Both are absolutely gorgeous scents and enjoyable to wear for any age. Im 38 and The One is a recent favourite since last Christmas as it was a gift but Red Kiss is just perfect for a night out or a night in 😼

Come for the bottle, stay for the scent! My daughter fell in love with this scent after the bottle attracted her eye. I've never seen it before in all my travels to various fragrance stores, drug stores, and makeup stores. After she smelled it I sprayed it on because she had already sprayed another fragrance on her arm. It's lovely! Definitely not overbearing. I'd hesitate to really call this a gourmand, however, the vanilla notes do dominate. If you love vanilla this one is a great blind buy - it's definitely got a unique twist to most vanilla fragrances, and it'll probably draw interest from others who are used to the typical bland vanillas out there. Price point is definitely worth it!

A while after owning it, I've stumbled across a sale and it had a crazy good price! I didn't hesitate and I bought it again both for myself and for my mom, and I've falled in love all over again with this fragrance! So sweet and sexy, nutty and chocolaty, very creamy and delicious. Good sillage and moderate to long lasting longevity. To me it has the almost the same DNA as Yes I am by Cacharel and Good Girl by Carolina Herrera, it's basically the same scent profile, which I really love and appreciate as it is an easy to wear, slightly but not overly gourmand DNA. The bottle is kinda dumb cause it doesn't really sit as it's supposed to but it makes up with its cuteness.

This perfume is Valentine’s Day in a bottle. All the lovely things you typically receive on Valentine’s is in here; delicious fruit, milky chocolate, even flowers. It starts zesty, juicy and fruity on me and I can smell a hint of white floral mixed in too, as it sits and develops it transforms into a decadent, sweet chocolate scent. It works great on my chemistry, not too sweet- just delicious. Performance wise, it lasts 6+ hours, I usually wear this when it’s cooler or at night, or even if I just want to feel good on a bad day. This is my most complimented perfume I own, people know I’m around when they smell this and have associated me with it. I love this perfume ❤️

This was on my radar since it was announced, and being a gourmand lover, I had to track it down. Well... ok. It's great. Sweet and smooth- just lovely. I love it. But... It doesn't last/project very well.... and it smells very very similar to Sweet by Lolita Lempicka. In fact, it smells like Sweet and Loverdose Tattoo mixed together. Also seems a little similar to Signorina Misteriosa. I don't get anything overly nutty/nutella. In fact, it's a very sweet APPLE on me. But it's just what I like and I'm not sorry I finally bought one... I mean two... ;) blindly... ;) update-- This is really like gourmand/hazelnut/Nutella apples. I dig it and enough sprays lasts all day!

The scent is subtly sweet with notes of cacao and hazelnut making it a little headier, then orange blossom that seems to come out on my skin more as the day goes on. The nutty scent to Diesel Loverdose Red Kiss is something I love and I think this is what has me applying it over other more expensive and sweeter scents. It’s definitely a more seductive grown up sister to the other fragrances in the range and certainly one that would turn a few heads (or noses) on a night out. It’s elegant but demands attention – if that makes sense. I have even had a few compliments on this and people asking what scent it is, which is always a good sign.

Ooooh! This one is dreamy. I ordered a 80% full bottle for just shy of £10 and I am extremely pleased with my blind buy. Very sexy, seductive... A come hither perfume for sure. It's so sweet and delicious, I am in love! Starts off with a burst of juicy blackcurrant, followed by sugared hazelnuts, then settles down into a deep wrist-sniffing patchouli/amber base. I will be walking like I'm 6ft tall today while wearing this! It makes me feel like a femme fatale. This might just be the sexiest non-vanilla perfume I own. It is definitely a crowd pleaser, but then I've never smelt this on anyone I know. I love it!
