Kiss

A delectable gourmand bomb 😋 It's like crushed strawberry candy smothered in coconut condescend milk and caramel. A good blend of fruity and creamy. It smells more like a strawberry bundt cake rather than a milkshake if that's what people are only looking for 🤔 But this is definitely a gourmand lovers paradise. It was an instinctive blind buy when i saw this in my local trusted page. For some reason i had the fear that people are gonna attack on this and make this sell out so i had to book one for me. I had been seeing the rave about it on insta and all the notes sounded like what my dream perfume would be like. The condescend milk had me hooked & i can proudly say the note is shining through 😍. Ok on the opening you do detect the strawberry and raspberry instantly. It's a bit medicinal/syrupy which most of the artificial strawberry/berry fragrance tend to smell like. You can't detect both berries separately. The fruity sweetness is 50/50 from both side. I am not a fan of strawberry but love a good raspberry scent but the fruity opening is doable for me. I don't mind medicinal/syrupy smelling berries. Then within 2 minutes it warms up & turns into a strawberry candy. The opening used to push me off when i received it but i'm more in tuned with it now. You can gradually smell the coconut and praline note ( both creamy) soon after. it's almost like crushed strawberry candies in a bowl and you are pouring a whole can of condescend milk into it. Very lactonic. So the opening is absolutely true to its notes. It might come across as cloying to some but you have to be patient with it. Then the condescend milk, caramel note gets heavy with time and makes this fragrance smell like a strawberry bundt cake which is heavy on the condescend milk and maybe some toasted coconut flakes sprinkled on top. The condescend milk, coconut, praline and both berries note are prominent to my nose. I don't get any white floral notes but maybe it's incorporated in there and it's amplifying the sweetness even more. It's a heavy gourmand & definitely wearable. This is playful and sexy. But i must say because everything of something sweet was added in here some people might find it too cloying or just uninteresting. Now coming to the projection & longevity this fragrance has a power pack projection. Projects for a good few hours. It can be smelt from a good distance. The day i wore this the first time, the guy i went to meet with said he could smell me from a few feet away before i came face to face. Longevity is also super impressive. I get almost good 7-8+ hours on my skin with the smell turning more creamy and sweet with the passing hour 🩷

This is currently my favourite strawberry perfume. I honestly dont get what people who say it smells rotten are getting, it smells exactly like strawberry milk to me. The grocery store type, not like a whipped cream heavy milkshake but a sweet flavoured milk. Perhaps the condensed milk and the coconut together leans a little nutty which might be putting the idea onto some people, I actually love the condensed milk and coconut especially when it dries down, to me it gives accords of dulce de leche and coconut flakes in the midst of this sweet strawberry milk and think its so sad that people are giving such a bad rep to a lovely perfume. The strawberries are not even synthetic to me especially compared to the YBM/ Marshmallow Blush lie that is calling itself strawberry milkshake. It is very well done, very smooth, very strong, super photorealistic gourmand that is exactly what I have been looking for for a long long time, a super duper lactonic sweet strawberry milkshake! Its like the exact bottle of strawberry milk I drink, I am so happy to find this. Yes some of us want to smell like that. It is frothy, cozy and calming. I think it doesn't need to be oversprayed so maybe the oversprayers are the ones having the bad experience but in my opinion its exactly what it needs to be, a perfect strawberry milk. I once oversprayed and choked myself out so try spraying minimally and let it dry down, its lovely.Yara fans will love this, its like you isolated the strawberry milk scent in Yara and made it 5x stronger more lasting and more gourmand. I get no florals at all. This is not like Strawberry Poundcake its way way better. I literally have gotten so many backups because of you haters and hope they don't discontinue this. Strawberry girls give this a chance!

I had the hard decision of picking between Rayhaan ‘Kiss’ or Khadlaj’s ‘Nuha Bon Bon.’ Being that I’m yet to try a Rayhaan offering, I opted for miss ‘Kiss.’ I’m quite happy with my blind gamble. First sniff literally tossed me across the floor and left me in a twisted pile like a Family Guy character. This is SUCH a sweet delicious blast. I get a creamy Piña Colada slurpee doused with Strawberry syrup. I was unimpressed with the secret white floral bomb ‘Miami Shake’ and was afraid of this being similar. Very glad to report that dont get any relation, this doesnt remind me of any other releases to be honest; pretty unique DNA here. While I can understand peoples disdain for the synthetic-ness, I absolutely adore an artificial ultra synthetic moment, especially done as right as this. Impressive first showing Rayhaan, you now have my attention. I cannot wait to yank this beauty out this upcoming spring/summer ! 😇

soooooooo strawberry-y. comes off a bit synthetic. the condensed milk note is leaning into fenugreek territory, which i must admit i am not a big fan of... but for some reason, i cant put this down. i love it. its a weird love-hate relationship. i've had it for about a month and its only getting stronger and im only liking it more... this is sort of similar to nebras elixir - if it had a very strong strawberry note. they smell vvvv similar in the dry down. and nebras elixir is my favorite of all time. i actually love this. would purchase again.... im addicted. strawberry, coconut, sweet goodness, and smells a bit sour.. not in a bad sense? it's just interesting, lol. also lasts for-freaking-ever. rayhaan does not play when it comes to performance. ALSO SMELLS NOTHING LIKE YBM! THANK GOD! ive had enough of that DNA at this point!

im so happy this does well with my skin chemistry despite some bad reviews its giving strawberry milkshake topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle on me😍🤩 I love this so much! my husband said this is one of the best in my collection and I agree 100%.... on skin it turns into a sweet creamy slightly coconut vanilla after about 2hrs but on clothes im still getting the strawberry milkshake vibes 6+hrs and counting!! blind buy success!!! this will forever stay in my collection😁🍓🍰🥤 now i cant wait to try divine🤞🏾 update: on clothes this lasts foreverrrr😍🤩😁
