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.

My favorite scent of the trio. Its so smooth and luscious. Perfect for cuddling with your partner on the beach:) My boyfriend was with me when I tried this perfume. He fell in love with this scent. I have it buy it. Perfect for summer! And bottle is super cute:)

This one is nice. Most prominent on me is orange, mango and magnolia. The scent is clean. But where ́s is the staying power? It stayed on me just 5 minutes and than everything is gone. Pity cuz it sounded so good. :-(

This one seems to have greater longevity than the other Escada summer scents I have. It's been 7 hours and I can still smell it. Very nice. There certainly is a time and place for these light, uncomplicated EDTs.

Just bought this on my holiday in Lanzarote. it smells peachy and tropical with a bit of musk. Its very sweet light fragrance but doesn't last very well on the skin but still love it i just apply it more often.

I love the Escadas and am happy they brought this one back. It starts off rather aquatic and fresh and then develops a tropical fruity base. Great choice for the summer...reminds me of hot caribbean nights.

I had very generous sample and before I noticed it was all gone! It's fresh, cooling and tropical. Perfect for hot, summer days. Very balanced on my skin, crisp, not too sweet. I really miss this perfume!

i absolutely love this it smells soo fruity and so fresh and its amazing. I do not find it to be too sweet though, it is just right. I savor my bottle because id use it all in a week if i let myself

This is the best out of 3, i can smell mango very intense, it's beautiful... close your eyes and take a sniff, then you're instantly brought to a wonderful summer island, i love love love this!!!

This fragrance was originally released around 2004. It is an AMAZING fragrance. Very fruity! So glad it is back!

Love this one. You can never go wrong with the Escadas.

This is perfect for summer.Fruity and fresh

Island Kiss (blue bottle) was released at the same time as Rockin' Rio (orange bottle) and Sexy Graffiti (pink bottle), and in my country a survey was conducted: boys were asked to choose their favourite among these three and the winner was Rockin' Rio. But that's just another story because Island Kiss is absolutely my favourite. This because I have an obsession with citrusy, watery fragrances. I think Island Kiss is very fresh and suitably sweet, not overpowering. I'd say that it has aquatic features to it too, but it's slightly more fruity and sweet than the average aquatic fragrance. I'd say Escada did a good job with this one. However, the sillage isn't big at all (soft), which maybe could be regarded as a good thing depending on what you like, and it's not as long-lasting as you'd want it to be. Love to you all xx

I love Island Kiss! I bought it this spring for my 21th birthday as a present for myself and have absolutely adored it since. I'm not a person to care about seasons in fragrances. I wear what I want to wear be it sunny or snowy, and so I wore Island Kiss on this grey, cold, rainy day. It really lifts my mood! How can someone be blue when there is something like this to sniff? Very sweet and fruity, just the way I mostly like my fragrances. I even get the tiniest hint of aquatics, though it might be just the overall freshness. On the other hand, it doesn't change much if at all. What you smell at first is pretty much what you get. Many of Escadas summer scents smell pretty much the same. When this is gone, I don't think I'll keep mourning for long. I just buy a bottle of some other Escada!

Island Kiss is a very sharp sour/sweet fruity scent,the first notes I get from this are lots of mango and some orange in the background. When it has dried down there is some muskiness to it and the fragrance becomes less sharp. The scent stays very close to the skin and only lasts for about 1-2 hours on me. Personally I don't particularly like this scent as it gives me a headache sometimes. I definitely prefer the other two perfumes which Escada re-released along with this one (Sexy Graffiti and Rockin' Rio).

I love the scent but the sillage as mentioned before and the longevity is just bad, i bought this for my wife and after a while i couldn't detect it at all, the quality sucks but the price isn't that high either, so i dunno, maybe it's fair, on the other hand, you need to spray a lot of it to make it work, so. Smells a LOT like Sexy Graffiti, but this one has a little sour touch to it wich makes me love it a little more. 9/10 for the scent. 5/10 for longevity. 4/10 for sillage, it's just bad.
