Escada Island Kiss 2011

I bought this on sale, and wasn't sure what to expect based upon the very mixed reviews. However, I love Island Kiss! This is not a "deep" perfume, more of a "fun" fragrance, but it does "fun" very well. The passion flower adds something different to what would otherwise be a pleasant but standard fruity floral, tropical style. The peach/mango blend does not smell synthetic to me, and is fairly light. I am not sure where the slight aquatic note comes from, perhaps there is driftwood in the woody notes? Longevity is decent, but this is more of a skin scent unless you spray heavily. This is a good choice when you want a warm weather sweet perfume.

I have passion flower vines growing among my backyard trees and that’s what this fragrance smells like to me. I don’t get much fruit except what the passion flower gives. It’s a clean, watery, shampoo floral that stays intimate but lasts several hours. Reminds me of Midnight Fantasy by Britney maybe plum and passion flower have something in common?

Delicious. One of my coworkers wears this one, and I love working by her. Mango is the most prominent note, while there is an orange and floral essence around it. It is sweet but not cloying in any way. Island Kiss is a soft, pleasant, and simple fragrance which seems to have the ability create a blithe ambience.

When I bought this it was the last bottle of Island Kiss in the store. This is definitely a summer fragrance, as what I smell whenever I wear this one is mango and citrus. It's not very strong and the lasting power isn't the best, but I still love it and I'm really glad I got it before they were all sold out.

It's very fruity and tropical. To me it smells like melon and a bit of papaya. Although is very fresh and summery, to me is very sweet...I would prefer it a little more watery and less sugary. I must also say that it has a good lasting power and it's my favourite one of the trio.
