Kiss Me Tender

As an almond-vanilla-heliotrope lover,I've tried dozens of perfumes in this genre and "kiss me tender" is like none of them.it's like nothing else and I like it.I really really do.but when I first tried it I was not sure about loving it which is strange as I love about all of it's notes except cloves(which fortunately doesn't show up on me) "Kiss me tender"is sweet and gourmand but in a clean,powdery,smooth and unique way.it IS very almondy but it doesn't seem like almond's almondyness.it's heliotrope's..a sort of flowery almondyness if it makes sense Strongest notes on my skin are heliotrope,vanilla,hay and on the second stage anise,cinnamon and ylang-ylang.there's lots of hay here and they have to add it to it's pyramid as it's mentioned on it's sample too.I highly believe that hay and spices are what make" Kiss me tender " original and different with other vanilla-almond-heliotrope combos. this juice is really spicy but it somehow manages to stay soft and smooth.it's also very powdery,not a makeup,face powder type of powder.it's more like a cake powder with vanilla, almond,cinnamon and anise as ingredients and a lot of fresh hay.it is a gourmand but it's not 100% foody,there's a distinct flowery undertone in it and while being sweet and spicy it has some sort of freshness As it dries down,anise,cinnamon and other spices calm down and it comes closer to the point that I can call it tender Longevity is excellent.it follows me every where I go for hours and I can smell it myself all through this time,just like people around me This is not my most beloved one in this genre,still I love it and I'm very happy to have it. it is intresting,memorable and addictive,attractive and comforting the same time and the fact that it was a gift from a dear friend makes it even more sweet and pleasant for me I believe it deserves to be more popular عطرهای وانیلی-بادومی زیادی تو بازار هستن اما نیکولای کیس می تندر شبیه به هیچ کدوم نیست و رایحه خاص و فراموش نشدنی داره..درکنار وانیل و بادوم غالب که رایحه خوشمزه یه کیک یا کوکی بادومی رو تداعی میکنن مقدار زیادی روایح اسپایسی(مخصوصا دارچین و انیس)حضور دارن اما باوجود اسپایسی بودنش کماکان سافته و نمیشه گفت تنده،فقط بامزه ست..چیزی که باعث میشه رایحه خوراکی طور نگیره حضور محسوس روایح گلی،هلیوتروپ پودری و یلانگ یلانگ طلاییه و درنهایت چیزی که آنقدر اون رو به یاد موندنی و متفاوت و درعین شیرینی فرش میکنه یونجه ست که هرچند تو هرم نتی ذکر نشده عملا غالبترین نت هست کیس می تندر موندگاری و پخش بوی عالی داره،بااینکه شیرین و خوشمزه و پودریه بنظرم میتونست یونیسکس باشه..به دوستداران عطرهای وانیلی،هلیوتروپی، اسپایسی شدیدا توصیه میشه

I'll start by saying I love this. Out of over 30 samples it was the one that stood out immediately. I've been looking for almond and heliotrope that isn't cake exactly, and that isn't marzipan or play-doh. If you want that strange but somehow appealing play-doh smell you can't do better than Etro Heliotrope. Kiss me tender is not like that. It has a big opening, but calms quickly having both sillage and lasting power. It's sweet, that much is true, but somehow it manages to retain a floral element where others fail. It's rich creamy and unique. Some people have likened it to bubblegum and I can see why but to me it's more than pick and mix sweeties.. it was love at first sight. Not for the faint hearted, but then nor is Fracas. A wall of floral gourmand vanilla with a spicy twist.

I am sure only Patricia de Nicolai can make me swoon for a heliotrope almond vanilla perfume. By the look of the notes I did not expect to fall in love. I admire the sweetness that is clean and clear instead of cloying. The bakery is definitely there, that is maybe why it is so soothing. Kiss Me Tender is also playful and a bit outrageous as it is not a young girl perfume despite the style. It has a great staying power and I cannot stop sniffing my wrist. This is soothing, flirty and creates positive connotations. Sillage is moderate which is good as it would be less attractive to force this on others. The greatness of KMT is that it comes and goes during the longevity, sometimes it is quiet but then it suddenly wakes and starts pulsating on your skin. Happiness.

This fragrance is the answer to, "What perfume should I get my 16 year old daughter?" Don't get me wrong - any age or gender can wear this if they'd like (I'm happy enough to wear it, and I'm... Well, not 16, suffice to say). Kiss Me Tender is youthful but not stupid - a scent evocative of the innocence and promise of that age. The gentle, powdery sweetness of the heliotrope mingles with delicately with creamy vanilla and almond, making it dessert-like, but we're talking a nibble of marzipan, not a 1,000 calorie wedge of cheesecake. Simply, sweetly, effortlessly lovely.

Kiss Me Tender by Nicolai Parfumeur Createur is a bit of a mystery to me. This ‘floral-oriental’ is very quiet with a musky quality—a timid, yet slightly salty musk. A year ago I realized that I have trouble smelling some musk molecules and I believe that the musk molecules in KMT are just barely flickering in and out of my perception. It is fascinating how the entire perfume seems to fade in and out; I can smell it and then I think maybe I can’t—oh, there it is again! When I do smell it, however, I get gorgeous orange blossom floating over a dense layer of spiced almond cookie dough. One of the note lists included fresh hay—and isn’t it funny how we can suddenly pick up notes when they are listed—but, yes this pretty, delicate fragrance not only smells of hay, it makes me wish that Chergui smelled like this instead of drying down to diaper bag. As time passes, KMT develops into a ‘my skin but better’ situation. Rrrrrrrrrr. 4/5
