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😍🤩😁

I LOVE Rayhaan kiss! Now, I do agree that this is not a safe blind buy I highly suggest trying it out first. As a gourmand, lover this is amazing. The initial spray is very fruity and juicy thanks to the strawberry and raspberry. That first impression quickly dries down to this sweet creamy vibe. I can definitely pick up on the coconut and sandalwood for sure! Also, I don't know if it's just me, but I also get a coffee note somewhere. I would rate it a solid 8.5/10, this to me is a summer gourmand.

Okay OMG THIS IS MY FAVORITE RAYHAAN Now this is absolutely delicious and beautiful it’s like a strawberry cake with raspberry jam dipped in coconut condensed milk she’s so creamy & sexy it smells incredible the longer you wear it. I’m obsessed with this one and she is STRONG I smelt it without even spraying it 🍓🍓 if you like fruity creamy gourmands you are going to love this!

First sniff and I was disappointed. I found it very synthetic. I decided to let it rest for 3 weeks. I'm wearing it back again today and I can't stop sniffing myself. All the sharpness and synthetic notes disappeared and it is now more blended together. Wow! What a delicious, comforting scent! Here's my suggestion, if you don't like it at first, let it sit and develop.

Yes, it's sweet, but not vulgar. It opens fruity and dries down to beautiful creamy coconut. It reminds me of piña coladas on the beach on the breezy afternoon somewhere tropical. I received few compliments wearing this fragrance.

I love this! Its very sweet and fruity. You do get the raspberry and coconut at the same time which smells delicious! I also get notes of white chocolate which isnt listed. It is very strong so a little goes a long way!

I love this fragrance. There’s nothing NOT to like. It’s not insulting or offensive no matter how much you overspray. Lots of complements. Layers perfectly with any gourmands.

I really like this one. It’s different than what I already have in my collection. Sweet and creamy strawberry.

I really want to hate it I really like it. I tell you, the dry down induces hunger every time I get a whiff.

Edit: I've noticed that people with drier skin don't develop that sour milk smell, whereas those with naturally more hydrated skin that's prone to acidity tend to develop this sour milk scent on their skin. I have a drier skin, which naturally amplifies woody, spicy, porous notes, so I need extra creaminess in a perfume to balance that. Maybe this can be a reason why this perfume is quite polarizing. OK, there's nothing groundbreaking here, but if I have to choose a strawberry perfume from the market currently, I choose this. At least something that's not trying to copy Kayali YBM. I love coconut, and it's quite prominent, probably this is why I feel this is a better match for me. After the strawberry hit (which is like a strawberry gelly) coconut, and smooth lactones takes over, with silent white florals. Longevity and performance is meh...respray needed in every 3 hours.

I am not surprised that this fragrance has such mixed reviews. It’s not blind buy safe and is meant for hardcore gourmand lovers and even then you might not like it. Personally I do like it a lot, mostly because it reminds me of a candy from my childhood. It’s VERY sweet and smells like condensed milk mixed with crushed red berries and coconut flakes. Lasts VERY long on clothes. If you don’t like coconut- don’t buy it. If you don’t like the combination of milk and berries- don’t bother. Some people claim it smells like rotten milk, I wouldn’t say that. Condensed milk smells different from regular milk and the berries add a tart fruity touch which may create a confusing impression. I advise to buy a small sample first

It opens up with a synthetic strawberry that smells of strawberry cake topped with raspberry that quickly goes away. I don’t smell the raspberry after the juice dries. Reminds me of bath and body works strawberry pound cake. Initially I didn’t get any coconut but the dry down is where that coconut shined through. Several notes I never smelled at all including condensed milk, praline, and especially orange blossom. Orange blossom is non-existent in this fragrance. It dried down to a sweet, musky, caramel, vanilla strawberry with hints of coconut. It’s actually quite nice on the dry down but I don’t think this is a fragrance I would reach for. I do believe it would make a great gift though.

When I initially got this, I immediately smelled the strawberry, raspberry, condensed milk, and heavy floral. It was sweet but slightly floral, it unfortunately gave me a migraine. I let it sit, as mail shock definitely had something to do with it. And the next time I tried it, it smelled much better. I no longer detected any florals but I did smell all the sweetness. To me it's a strawberry and condensed milk perfume. Really nice, but I was still iffy about it. Ultimately I decided to return it just because it became a skin scent and didn't last much on me. First couple sprays it is strong but within a few hours it fades fairly quickly. Perhaps it's just my skin though.

This is very SYRUPY sweet fragrance! This is also STRICTLY feminine/gourmand. If you like the way that strawberry Swiss rolls smells like, then you will probably just adore this. It has the very same artificial strawberry/extra sweet quality. Looots of strawberry and coconut here. I get almost no florals here. I think the main focus of this fragrance is the condensed milk, the coconut, and the berries. But keep in mind, this fragrance smells VERY artificially sweet. Like a, not so expensive - processed snack cake, rather than some luxury dessert. This stuff lasts amazingly on clothing. I'm talking several days.....If not weeks.

This was an instant hit- followed by total disappointment and influencer resentment....followed by a change of heart. A bright amazing fruity opening quickly turned into sickly cream on hot skin - fortunately it didn’t last very long at all. Gaaa waste of money....but then... Time passed - it improved both in scent and longevity. But I only use it to top off other fragrances. It’s not something I’d wear on its own. Love the packaging and the sprayer. No regrets now, but wouldn’t repurchase as I have a few similar things that do the same thing although they don’t smell exactly alike (milk drops, etc) .

Let me start with saying I was gifted this perfume. This perfume is extremely sweet. It smells great on the dry down, but when I first sprayed it I was hit with a strong syrupy sweetness. On occasion I prefer to layer it, with another perfume that has a more musky or woody note to tone down the sweetness. I was about to find this perfume for about $35 USD. Which isn’t bad for the price point; I personally wouldn’t pay over $40 USD for this. If you do not like fruity/gourmand/sweet smells you probably will not like this.

I’m not sure why the negative reviews. This is an amazing fragrance!! It starts with a syrupy sweet strawberry (I typically loathe strawberry in perfume) and the dry down is a deep praline. It kind of reminds me of those red foil chocolate covered cherries with the yummy juice inside. I can’t believe this mega up there in price cause it sure seems like it. It’s not linear, it truly as a top, mid, and base in its wear. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So just open and sprayed this on my arm. As i waved my arm in the air it was coconut condensed praline, caramel mmm then the dry down was a syrup strawberry raspberry with the condensed milk... kinda like a cough syrup 😒 I think the silage is the best because actually smelling it on skin its kinda sickening.. This is my first time getting this one of this Perfumer. its was a combo with Sawaar vanille blanc..

This is really good! I’m talking it’s amazing that this sells for such an amazingly low price! All the notes together reminds me of a chocolate covered strawberry but when you really break it down you can smell the coconut and praline deep down but on initial spray you get a blast of strawberry. This is the very first strawberry I’ve ever enjoyed in a perfume.

I really like it! A lot better than Divine. That has too much patchouli for me. Too mature. This is youthful, playful and sweet. I really like the coconut and berry cream opening. It’s original too. I don’t recall smelling a perfume like it.

are we serious 😭😭 this is LITERALLY Chupa Chups Strawberry & Cream Lollipop... its so exact.. just turns more musky when it dries down

Gourmand type of feminine fragrance

Smells like strawberry pencils

Im not sure where everyone is getting the strawberry or raspberry notes from since there are not. The rayhaan website lists the notes as hazelnut, coconut, almond and coffee at the top. Jasmine orange blossom lily of the valley and milk in the middle And vanilla, tonka, sandalwood and musk at the base. I would say this description is ACCURATE of the scent. No berry notes in this, think of this scent as a hazelnut coconut caramel frappocino drink. Very sweet coffee like. Which I do like but only in cold weather during the holidays, it can be overwhelming in warmish weather. Many described this scent as a strawberry milkshake, not sure where they get that from cause theres none of that. Its more of a caramel hazelnut chocolate scent throughout and the dry down. Very sweet and warm scent but not fruity at all. More milk chocolate fudge scent if thats what your looking for.

It's definitely a sweet candy scent and thankfully I don't get any weird notes like burnt rubber tires but I also don't think this is for me. It reminds me of a strawberry starburst, with hints of bubblegum (But it's not like the bubblegum you get in Kayali VCRS) and caramel. I also get some of that lactonic condensed milk note in the dry down. I don't think I'll be buying a full bottle but I'm not opposed to using up my 5ml decant.

At the beginning, I really liked the fragrance. I tried it in the shop and waited a few days before deciding to buy it. I have now used the fragrance for about a week, and it only lasts maybe 1–2 hours. About 10 minutes after spraying the perfume, I notice a really unpleasant smell that reminds me of benzene or gasoline. It has a strong chemical scent that lasts for about an hour. I'm really disappointed.

VERY torn on this fragrance. There are times where I have worn it, particularly when it was a little bit cooler out, even though the notes do not 'scream' cooler daytime... it is quite lovely. Then as the weather has gotten warmer and warmer, it becomes way too cloying and frankly smells a bit cheap to me. It is not a very complex scent so there can be some wearability if it layered properly imo.

Somewhat dissappointed, I get a little strawberry & raspberry on initial spray and then only condensed milk. It becomes a skin scent on me almost immediately and all I can smell is the condensed milk. I couldn't smell it on myself unless I went in close to my skin, however the sillage & projection was there, I was stopped twice and asked what was I wearing, just wish I could smell it more.

To me smells like liquid strawberry yogurt basically. It's too synthetic for my liking but actually the drydown is quite nice, you can smell the vanilla and ends up being quite a conforting smell. I found it's longevity quite outstanding specially on clothes.

It lasts a fair amount, but projection is more on the soft side like people close to you will notice it, not the whole room.

I just got it. Photorealistic strawberry shake. Have to test sillage and projection as i think i need to maturate this 1st.

Okay when I first smelled this I didn't like it simply bc it leans too juvenile for my liking - heavy strawberry bubblegum and candy vibes. But there are days when idk why I keep reaching to its bottle to sniff it one more time. The candy note stays throughout the scent journey for sure, but once the base notes of milk, praline, coconut (not too much) kick in it just starts smelling super unique. I'll just say I have a love-hate relation with this one. Edit - okay I hate it. Idk why its dry down smells rotten to me.

This is a sweatier version of Katy Perry's Mad Love: creamy strawberry coconut candy, but amped up to the point where it's not cute anymore. My skin tends to crank up lactonic notes to the point where they overpower everything and smell like feet, and this is the case here. I'll let it rest in hopes that the condensed milk will mellow out and recede a bit, but for the meantime it smells like Barbie after a hot yoga class at the town dump.

Ok ok, I think have found potentially the most vile fragrance on planet earth. This is absolutely rotten. It smells like sour strawberry yogurt left in the sun and is in the process of curdling. And it’s strong so anyone wearing this fyi - you’re leaving a trail of gone off milk. Imagine walking around with your new fragrance thinking you smell like hot stuff - meanwhile everyone thinks you haven’t showered in weeks

If you’re considering blind buying Kiss, please don’t. I highly recommend testing it on skin first. For me—and for many others—the scent comes across as spoiled strawberry yogurt/milk. It’s such a disappointment because I really wanted to love this one. The bottle is stunning, and the notes sound so promising, especially if you love coconut and gourmand fragrances. Sadly, this was a total scrubber for me. 😭😭😭

I tried, certain influencers have been hyping this perfume like crazy, so I bought it and I tried but I'm not a coconut lover and I don't want to smell like one and that's all I get from this is coconut. Is a little bit of strawberry in the background but the coconut is too strong for me. I gave it away

I don't get the hype with this fragrance. This smells like straight up pen ink with a hint of sour strawberry to me, similar vibe I get from RAVE NOW by Lattafa. Anyone interested in this fragrance feel free to hit me up, I've only used 2 sprits from this

I smelled it today at a fragrance store, literally couldn’t pick any smell or note that i thought something was wrong with my nose .. so i asked the seller to smell it as well and he made the same observation .. i don’t understand what the hype is about!

I hate this so much. There is a sour milk smell in the dry down that I can’t get over, a bit like fruity baby sick. Prefer Divine, but this is just a no from me. I’m selling.....

Unfortunately, I'm one of the ones who get the spoiled milk smell. If not for that, I'm sure it would be great :/

I own many perfumes, but this is the only one I can't tolerate. I hate it so much that I can't even use it as a toilet spray. Every time I spray it, I feel like I'm going to vomit. Last time I sprayed in the bathroom, the rotten smell lingered for hours. 🤮🤮🤮 It's utterly disgusting.

Smells like burnt rubber and sour yoghurt. Gross!

uuuhhh no, just no. Screeching mess. Sadly cause the bottle is so so beautiful , much more beautiful then in this fragrantica photo even. More gold and more fucsia- pink. It's a weird candy gone wrong in the recipe. Rancid almost ( guess it's the condensed milk quality ? ). I guess this wanted to be a dupe for Buontalenti by Profumo di Firenze . They are 90% close both on paper and skin. Literally probably 95% ( not by official notes but what they actually smell like ). But sadly Kiss is everything that can wrong with an already hyper sweet very difficult fragrance , especially in terms of wearing. I have both in full size, and regret both . Buontalenti does change significantly after a whole year ( the tester i tried confirmed it vs to mine ), so i still have hope but it's a 3/10. Kiss i'm afraid has no hope as of now... sweet messy chemical screechy strawberry wine. 1/10 :( So far Vanilla, Tonka, Musk , Sandalwood or orange blossom are not found at all. The strawberry and condensed milk screech hard with each other and what's worse it's the fight of these two with a sour tangy raspberry that just doesn't wanna comply. I really don't know how they could release this ? or anyone like this ? Will update in 3 months. Possibly ( hoping ) that is what people are smelling. will leave in a dark spot and to macerate.

Rayhaan Kiss is incredibly unique. It smells familiar in a way that’s hard to describe—like something warm and comforting from your past—but at the same time, it doesn’t remind me of any specific perfume. It has its own identity. ❤️It’s cozy, soft, and inviting. Not sexy, not seductive, not overly feminine—just pleasant in the best possible way. The kind of scent that makes people want to be around you. I’ve received quite a few compliments while wearing it, and interestingly, people often mention a sweet coconut note. I can see that—it adds a creamy, gentle sweetness without ever becoming too sugary or overwhelming. It doesn’t smell cheap, but it also doesn’t try to come across as overly luxurious or heavy. It sits perfectly in the middle: approachable, friendly, and easy to wear. What I appreciate most is its complexity. Even though it feels effortless, there’s enough going on that I don’t feel the need to layer it with anything else. It stands beautifully on its own. This isn’t a statement fragrance. It’s not here to impress in a loud way. But if you’re looking for something comforting, likable, and quietly addictive—this might surprise you.

I dont know if its because I just received it but the middle notes are weird. The rest is deliciously girlish. Opening: a giant spoon of strawberry flavored Nesquick powder being blown to your face Dry down: VS Bare Vanilla body mist (skin to skin batch version) softened by a tiny bit via amplifying the creaminess o if the sandalwood. But the journey from the opening to the dry down (which takes surprisingly long for a cheapie) is confusing, tiring, nauseating and scarry. Some moments, you cant smell anything and you briefly smell dust and burnt plastic for a few seconds BUT as I’ve said in the beginning, this may all be due to cargo shock so I’ll update in 3 days to see if it settles a bit

First impression, omg, sweet, too sweet, unfinished, but for those who like sweet perfumes, this is not bad at all. Cheerful perfume, great price, why not try it. The most important thing is that it doesn't have that ending like most Middle Eastern perfumes, I don't know what it is but it's in almost every perfume. (I spray the house when I go out and when I come back I don't find perfume but that scent that is so cheap, masculine and sharp)
