Sugar Kisses

Oh my... Got a sample of this and what a wonderful scent. Opens as a rich photorealistic warm caramel butter. the depth of the smell is incredible it has a lot of nuance as it develops. Looking at the perfume pyramid it could be hard to imagine the DNA of this scent as there is so much in this but to my nose this is a sweet chocolatey cocoa butter with a bitter booziness that cuts through the sugar resulting in a sensual, warm, adult gourmand. With all that's going on here the fragrance isn't overwhelming, I have found it hard to gauge the performance as in moments it seems to have disappeared but then moments later I catch the smell of it strongly. I see reviews comparing this to Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion, I grew up with that lotion and it is true once this fully dries down there's proximity but this is richer and perhaps darker. It's similarity certainly doesn't make this less worth the price as I've seen suggested. I also think this smell is super unisex. The fantasy/story/inspiration written by the brand is interesting to me for anyone who hasn't put their nose on this as it might create an expectation of a jovial, simplistic fragrance but it is not that! I wouldn't describe this as sugary either! There is an essence of burnt sugar but it isn't sugary in a fluffy narrow sense. This is rich, refined and sophisticated! Definitely on my to purchase list now. Highly recommend getting your nose on this if you want a less typical gourmand!! (later update: I did buy a full bottle and all of my thoughts hold true - definitely a perfume to spray sparingly as it can overwhelm with more than 3-4 sprays so do handle with care but for the price I want that saturation of smell that this offers!)

Sugar Kisses by Lorenzo Pazzaglia is a powerhouse of a gourmand, perfect for those with an insatiable sweet tooth! So sick'ningly sweet, it might just rot your teeth. I can absolutely see how some might say this teeters on cloying. Being pure extrait, Sugar Kisses boasts a powerful projection and impressive staying power, with no chemical blast or synthetic afterscent whatsoever. Upon first spray, immediately you're greeted with chewy toffee and powdery heliotrope, held together by cacao butter. Fragrant frangipani and coconut milk meet your nose as well, and stay ever present throughout the entirety of this perfume-giving it a Summery charm. After a few minutes, Sugar Kisses hugs you with it's decadent base of rich chocolate, chopped hazlenuts, vanilla bean, and sticky dates. Given even more time to settle, she kisses you with burnt sugar, a surprising splash of rum, and a light dusting of white musk. Sugar Kisses is unique in that I find it hits every single one of it's (extensive) listed notes! There is also something very nostalgic about this scent.. Perhaps the frangipani calls us back the 90's? Or maybe, the hazelnut chocolate harkens to the 80's launch of Ferrero Rocher? Regardless, Sugar Kisses conjures up the image of a cool older sister figure. An It-girl with a belly button ring and sparkling eyelids. There is nothing subtle about her, Sugar Kisses proudly turns heads. Ferociously feminine, she is trashy and tasty in the best way possible. So I begrudgingly say, this one's worth the steep price tag. For the girls and the gays looking for a Hot Girl Summer scent, Sugar Kisses gets my praise!

They might as well have added whipped cream in Sugar Kisses, since it has all the gourmand notes lol. Vanilla, chocolate, caramel, toffee, brown/sugar, coconut, milk, butter (cacao), and nutty notes. Anyways, this smells like milky chocolate, brown sugar, and cocoa butter oil mixed together. A slight coconut essence but more of a coconut oil with no prominent nuttiness. I can pick up toffee biscuits in the background as if they are waiting to be dipped in the chocolate. This is creamy, gourmand, and delicious. After the 30 min opening, caramel, toffee, and a coconut-vanilla note show up more to balance out and blend with the chocolatey note, eventually overtaking it. The coconut sort of like the Softee coconut grease that I also got in Omnia Profumi Madera. Here the performance is better, stronger, and not intimate but lasts 5-6 hours on me. The brand symbol engraved in the cap and bottles are nice, except the ugly graphic and logo in the front center. Love the smell because it's the non-popcorn and non-toasted caramel vanilla I've been looking for, so I just turn the bottle around so I can just see the black back and cap engraving in peace lol.

Sugar Kisses completely surprised me, Before investing into a full bottle I was 100% sure that this would be a ultra-sugary super synthetic waxy mess... Can report that Sugar Kisses is NONE of that. Actually it's quite sophisticated, especially in the dry-down. Sugar kisses opens with a blast of sweet, lactonic cacao butter, but it's not waxy or buttery. The lactonic facet is also well-balanced. This develops immediately less sweet on the skin...much less sweet! The dry down is not gourmand on my skin: Sugar kisses develops into a vanillery, musky, slightly soapy caramel / floral. I can still sniff the cacao butter facets, but it's slightly powdery as well. . Overall this is very classy and pleasant, also Sugar Kisses is more original than other gourmands on the market such as its brother Van Exstasyx and Bianco Latte. P.S. I am SICK and TIRED of influencers claiming this is BEAST MODE!!! It is NOT, This is very much a skin scent and doesn't last over 5-6 hours just like Van Exstasyx!

I cannot express how much I love this perfume. This is everything I wanted from a vanilla fragrance. Everything about it is perfect - the top notes, the dry down, the longevity.... Some people say it’s too sweet, and that might be your first impression when you try it, but the second time you understand why it’s so good, if you like vanilla scents, of course. I bought many other vanilla perfumes, hoping I would find a better one than Sugar Kisses, but I couldn’t. For me, second place goes to Silky Woods, and third to Bianco Latte (along with all the dupes, like Eclaire by Lattafa). I wish I had all the bottles of this perfume in the world for myself - that’s how much I like it. If you like this one, Van Py Rhum and Van Exstasyx are similar, but Sugar Kisses is by far the best one from Lorenzo Pazzaglia.

I get a dark chocolate cupcake with some rum and vanilla and some tonka with a little hazelnut. I have NO idea how some people are getting basic vanilla with Sugar kisses!! This perfume is anything but basic! The chocolate note stays the whole wear of the fragrance for me and it's sweet but not vanilla sweet if that makes sense. It does get more vanillic on the dry down but retains that chocolate note throughout the whole wear for me. This is definitely a more sensual, dark gourmand for sure!! I would say this perfume is closer to Jousset's Le Gourmand if I HAD to compare it something, but still different for sure. Lasting power was great the first time I wore it and seems to be getting better the more I wear it. HIGHLY recommend if you are into chocolate gourmand scents!

Many times to understand a fragrance you need to know where its idea comes from. This is one of those cases. Sugar Kisses was born as a gift. A gift to Sveva, a wonderful little girl, for her eighth birthday. In my opinion, in this gourmand creation there are all those elements that take us back to childhood, full of love and beautiful things, or at least that's how it should be. Notes of caramel, milk cream, chocolate, dates and hazelnut on a vanilla veil make it soft, sweet but not cloying, a source of well-being and which brings a smile. A sweet kiss sent with the hand of this little girl, which melts our hearts and at the same time envelops us in a comforting cloud of tenderness. “Girl with a Balloon” by Banksy.

Unbelievable fragrance. Yes I agree it’s a bit linear but holy fuck what a delicious creamy sweet cakes vanilla. I feel like I am literally pulling out freshly baked vanilla cookies with caramel all over them. This is unbelievable, sweet, delicious and magnificent. I just bought a sample and I have to say it may be my favourite scent of all time. Vanilla has a tendency to be less long-lasting than fragrances paired with, say, oud or woody bases, but THIS vanilla holy shit it lasted 12+ hours and it is still radiating strong as ever I can smell it all around me. This performance is incredible and the scent is so delicious. I wish it wasn’t $330 MOTHER EFFING DOLLARS

I absolutely do lower the AC in my house so I can wear this now in the near tropical heat & humidity of Georgia. If smell were simply taste, I'd say white chocolate Mounds bar with caramel & chocolate swirls. Served on a plate of musk with floral garnishes. A couple of those waffle & butter cream cookies on the plate. The aromatic whiff of caramel, tonka & rum at the opening are very heady, but they go to the back & re-emerge in the dry down with decidedly gourmand leanings. It's heavanly. As soon as I finish my 5ml sample I will have saved for the full bottle. Seriously, tho... this is a beast & more than one spray in the heat of summer could hurt someone

This is one of my favourite creations by this perfumer. It’s a gourmand fragrance that draws attention with its sweet, caramel vanilla character, yet does so in a remarkably elegant way. The opening is sweet and alluring, with notes of cocoa butter, velvety chocolate, vanilla, nuts, dates and tonka bean. As it develops, the scent softens to reveal rich, milky caramel, sugar and a touch of rum. The overall impression is reminiscent of a creamy dessert served alongside a cup of your favourite cappuccino. The fragrance offers good longevity with moderate projection, gently enveloping the wearer and those nearby.

Today, I had the pleasure of trying out my sample, and I must say, I'm absolutely enamored with this fragrance! It's a luscious blend of sugary sweetness and warm vanilla, and what's remarkable is how natural it smells, completely avoiding any hint of synthetic notes. It's reminiscent of luxurious scents like Madera and Escapade Gourmande. If you haven't experienced those yet, then Sugar Kisses is a must-have. This perfume boasts the performance of an extrait concentration: powerful and long-lasting, ensuring you'll be wrapped in its alluring scent throughout the day.

It's the white chocolate bark candy we make at Christmas, with the nuts, dried fruits, dark chocolate chips. It's the feeling of biting the ears off of a white chocolate Easter bunny. Don't judge it til you get in the drydown. Not all fragrances are designed to be classy, vacation worthy, or make you smell like a rich diva. If there was ever a perfume designed to be worn while wallowing in your pajamas on the couch, watching B movies with your lover on a rainy afternoon, this is it.

I am in LOVE with this! It smells too much like chocolate chip cookies upon first application but then once it mingles with my chemistry it is the best gourmand I have ever smelled❤️❤️❤️. The notes blend so well I can’t pin point any in particular. It’s not for hot weather or tropical climates. It’s perfect for fall cool crisp weather. Anyone looking for this in an oil version go to Etsy and type in the search Sugar Cookie Kisses for a perfect dupe at a way more affordable price!

Love at first sniff I instantly thought it smelt like Nutella - I got the chocolate and nuts on initial spray, then the floral notes which balance the fragrance out. It’s sweet but not cloying, interestingly enough I think this smells so differently to everyone... the people around me seem pick up different notes, but we agree it’s delicious. Totally mouth watering but I’ll need to test the longevity out - for now I’ll rate it 9/10

This was a blindbuy for me. When I first got it, It wasn't quite what I expected. Then I grew to love it a lot. At first, it's STRONG. And a little too sweet yet heavy for my liking. But on the drydown, it's not as linear as I expected. First, I get a chocolate milkshake with a cacaobutter dish next to it. But after a few hours, it somehow starts to smell like cookies to me. Much more airy than at first.

This is the sugar gourmand final boss. While others are hyper specific, this is everything in the back of the bakery in regards to sugar scents. I get the dates and the caramel, but also the gorgeous cacao blossom and orange peel. This is date night. This is walking around an autumn festival. This is walking to Starbucks with a book just because you put this on and it made you hungry.

Something about this scent makes me miss summer. Most gourmands don’t cut through the heat that well but this one does. It reminds me of tanned skin, likely due to the cocoa butter and the coconut notes. It can be cloying, but I feel there is a beauty to that. This is the ultimate vanilla and one of my favorites to wear during the summer time. My scent of the day.

Sugar Kisses Lorenzo Pazzaglia – 8/10 The opening is a bit harsh since the sweetness really hits you right away, but once it settles, it turns into an amazing gourmand. Super sweet, very cozy, and on skin it goes through a bunch of phases that keep it interesting. On clothes it lasts forever, and the final drydown is honestly so good.

Yes, I can wear this all year round. On my skin chemistry, these scents work in hot weather (to me; being uplifted is why I wear scent) I also layer it with Oriana, Sintra, Silky Woods and others and love to experiment. IF you love sweet scents, this is perfect and the floral notes stop it from being too cloying, IMHO.

This is gorgeous - it's what I wanted (overhyped) bianco latte to be. The more you smell it the better it gets - delicious! Don't understand how this only gets a 3.91. Perfect sweet sweet cakey vanilla for gourmand lovers. I wish it came in a bigger size as I want to bathe in it....might be my new signature...
