Kiss

"He dreams about you now, you are his everything, he know youll go away, but he dreams he dreams for you" This perfume is this song in my mind, "my dreams miss you" by Edward Maya, so refreshing, summery, and why does this scent and the song are both light blue in my mind. So I never write reviews on the perfumes that feel like "so me", that I fall for without knowing why and I feel so connected to instantly. Lately Ive been writing some reviews on my beloved ones. I always have a hard time explaining what these amazing perfumes smell like, and I describe the feeling they give me and maybe try to detect the notes but I dont wanna dissect them. I just wanna let them be, as a whole, as a mystery ya know and I dont use them too often. Its like the feeling of falling in love with someone and you forget what he looks like and cant figure out what's so attractive about them. This is more than a signature scent, this is special. It has a lovely modern 90s twist, something almost my mom was wearing but so elevated. Summer is coming and I go back to Kiss. She is a floral breeze at the beach in the beginning of summer, so fresh and cold, the cold white sheets, the sparkling calm-like-oil sea and Im starring at it out the window while the white flowers from the garden under the bedroom fill the air. That was indeed a moment I recall at my grampa's yellow brick house on the beach where I spent all my summers, facing the sea in Antirrio (Greece). Its a sunny calm fragrance, such a gorgeous blend of orange blossom, neroli, freesia, do I even care to know what it is, no its just amazing and there is nothing like it..just a touch of plum to make it "cold" and breezy. The Ambergris here adds to that marine, cold feeling, no wonder it stems from the ocean. Alien Mugler? Viva La Juicy? Justin Bieber someday? no no no no! hell no. I see no similarity. I get it ppl are trying to figure out where she comes from, who she is, well shes a mystery!! let her be! And I dont wanna hear about others right now lol. This stands alone excuse moi! I dont think theres an actual dupe for it, but possibly a long lost 90s perfume my mom rocked but totally renewed, nothing dated about this, but so nostalgic. Rihanna, I love her for giving us this gem. Update: So i got Rogue Love just to see how it compares. Initial spray gives quite a similar vibe due to the orange blossom in Kiss, mandarin orange in Rogue Love, but then Rogue Love is more like a Victoria's Secret wannabe, nothing like Kiss as a composition - typical light sparkling fruity scent and within 15 mins it fades. I dont get the intense gorgeous borderline 90s vibe or the strong white florals of Kiss. Its a very faint lollipop smell and all I get is peach and some honeysuckle. I sprayed 5 times and it was gone. I smelled it out in clean air too and all I was thinking was peach. A bit stronger and itd be nice, but still nothing like Kiss. Kiss is so intense and powerful with bold identity. Rogue Love is her shy sister in a peach dress hiding behind her big sister's blue dress. Update: I noticed that Escada's Celebrate N.O.W has a note reminiscent of Kiss in the opening and the drydown, even tho Celebrate N.O.W is all cinnamon magnolia, and much weaker and plain, so very different than Kiss (like I said, there is nothing like Kiss!!). Escada's creation follows Kiss's 90's vein.

I love Rihanna so I was partial to this but I thought it was a risk - seeing the reviews - and also - come on celebrity scents alert. But I did it. I'm always assured when I spray the first spray and my eyes light up. So maybe it was my low expectations - but I chose well I think. I bought a tester bottle and kind of wish I had bought one with a lid - because the juice is lovely. After initial spray is there some mint in here? It's floral and pretty but there is an amber like base to this scent and I appreciate the levels, the layers of this scent. It's always a bonus, for me at least, when a perfume takes you on a journey and this one does. I get now why people compare this to alien (which is a masterpiece imo) but if you love alien - get it. Don't mess about. But if you love Viva La Juicy (I do) and if you love Alien by Mugler (I do) then this is a no brainer, you'll love this too. KiSs it KiSs it better BABY. These are all sexy scents. Feminine, gorgeous, hot, spicy, confident, sexy. Like Rihanna. Kiss by Rihanna 7.6/10 After wearing for a few days/nights I love this more. It's awesome 8.1/10 wish it lasted longer! Hopefully it will with time.

When this fragrance was released, i was hesitant to buy it because i wasn't very pleased with the first fragrance of this line(Riri). Crush was okay. It's a likeable fruity summer scent, but no wow factor. When i finally decided to buy kiss, i was immediately blown away by how beautiful this smelt. Kiss opens up with plum and white florals and dries down with cashmere, vanilla and musk. I can't really detect peony or any of the other notes, but the scent overall is intoxicating. I became obsessed and started buying this fragrance in every form it came in(lotion, rollerball, mist, ect.) As you can see a few reviews below, i inquired about the body mist because i wanted to drown myself in this fragrance lol. This scent has decent projection and last about 5 hours on my skin. This is one of those fragrances that i will never get tired of💙💙 Scent: 10/10 Packaging: 9/10 Performance: 7/10

I got myself a 30 ml bottle, and it's a beautiful bottle! I love the design and the soft blue color. Strongest note is definitely gardenia. I bought it because I like plum and love freesia, but the gardenia - even that it is strong - is well blended and does not become overpowering. Sounds maybe strange, but it reminds me of Light di Gioia of Armani, but I like Kiss even more, because the white florals are not too heavy for me, there is a fresh element in Kiss. The dry down brings more neroli or orange blossom on the surface. This is much more elegant than I thought. It's is sweet, but not in any lollipop way. The picture with Rihanna wearing a very beautiful, conventional make up and hair describes the scent well. I think Kiss deserves more attention, it's a well made floral, perfect for spring time. Longevity is excellent on my skin, lasts the whole day.

What a pretty perfume! I bought the gift set from fragrancenet, and tested the roller ball only. like a few reviews all I could smell was an icy plum and it was bordering on headche inducing, and does kind of have a dryer sheet smell. Than I decided to layer it with my peony body wash and the kiss lotion, then I sprayed on the perfume from the bottle. NOW it transforms, into a pretty plum floral scent and it's not as icy now. I like riri more, but I am biased because I love tropical, beachy perfumes, however I am really pleased with this purchase and will be wearing at least once a week throughout spring. I still need to get crush which I am excited for. All in all, great job on Kiss, Rihanna! Edit: was just complimented upon walking into my office, we have a winner!!

A love at first sniff😄~~ It's a total different mood from Riri and Crush. Compared to those, this one is a lighter, sparkly floral. it reminds me of my current signature scent - HOLLISTER Canyon Escape, due to the bright notes that you'd also find in Bright Crystal by Versace. Kiss is not so sweet or juvenile to me. But maybe its just my scent profile that's so wide-ranging that i don't mind this kind of scent🤷🏻 To me, Riri is more sweet than this one? So it's amazing how people can smell different things from others. It's suitable for spring and summer days because its so bubbly and light, it reminds me of breezy sunny days🙂 10/10 for meeeee!!

This perfume is lovely, and perfect for those who want a light, inoffensive and generic perfume. I say this is generic in the sense that it’s basic - I’ve never smelt anything like it but it’s definitely unremarkable and forgettable. But saying that, i started wearing this the week before I got a new car and after a week of driving and wearing the perfume, I realised it smelt EXACTLY the same as the air freshener that had been put in the car! I compared the two and it is uncanny!! For anyone interested - it smells like the blue raindrop shaped “coveva” sun air freshener. If you like this perfume and want the scent to fill the room!

Fresh and Sweet white floral perfume with a sexy, warm, inviting dry down. Beautiful just like Rihanna! I wouldn't say at all that this smells like Alien but it absolutely reminds me of it. It definitely could've been a flanker. I am an Alien lover but I can not wear it in the summer, early autumn days where I live. It is just too thick. Riri Kiss is my go to when I want that type vibe. Idk why all the hate. To me it's beautifully blended and smells very nice. The fragrances by Rihanna that I have and love are Riri kiss, Riri crush, Rogue love, Rebelle Nude and I think they are all easy reaches.

This is such a warm and cozy floral, I’m absolutely in love with this fragrance! The scent is just intoxicating and I can never get enough. 100% pure happiness! EDIT: Just bought myselt a back up bottle cause this gem is discontinued... EDIT: I just bought myself ANOTHER back up bottle the second I got the other one because this could honestly be my signature scent! EDIT: Just got hold of a 100ml bottle so now I have three bottles and can finally call this my signature scent for the time being... I could bath in it. I could drink it. I could die in it. This is my one true love!

Just got this as a gift from my boyfriend. The first thing that struck me is that the bottle itself is gorgeous! Love the vintage design. The fragrance is very wearable but it isn't too generic; I love that it has its own character. I smell a very slight similarity to Midnight Fantasy, probably because of the plum note but it isn't a strong connection, it definitely is a perfume of its own. I think you could wear this daytime or nighttime; the plum gives it a bit of sweet darkness, but the florals make it quite diverse. Projects well and longevity is ok.

I don't know why this fragrance doesn't get more love! Sure, it's not a powerhouse or anything. But with a name like Kiss, what do you expect? It's soft, sweet, very alluring with prominent notes of plum, freesia, and cashmere. It starts out with a fruity blast, but dries down into a very sexy, woodsy-musky-vanilla smell. I love it. My boyfriend adores it on me. He said it smells the way a good kiss feels.

Its refreshing and smells blue if that makes any sense. Its not boring, and i really adore the amber gris in the development middle and base notes. It has some sort of licqorice/ bitter orange/ tonka note, but its not in the list above. It smells expensive, and it kinda remind me of obsession Night by Calvin Klein. Longevity aprox 5-6 h on me. Sillage is moderate. Im buying this soon.

Mom loves the smell of fruits especially plums so she secretly bought it and I and Kianna smell it almost everyday. The smell of the plums with hints of vanilla, peony, gardrenia and cashmere wood is so beautiful I and Kianna even share and wear it!

This is a great perfume for the price y'all. It is like a lighter version of Alien, but very similar vibes. I like it because it has a zestiness that is so sparkling and rich in its floral beauty. It is really an awesome scent, good job Rihanna!!!

I really like this perfume. For me this blind buy was a win. I also love Rihanna's perfumes she brings out. It's a lovely white floral. There is something else I detected, but I don't know what it is right now.

It simply smells like dreamy clouds with hints of berries and caramel and muskiness. Beautiful. Soft yet strong in character, sweet yet lightweight 😍 oh it's so so pretty! A lilac coloured cotton candy.

Just to let everyone know, this perfume is now on Macy's search " Rihanna " and you should be able to find it. Free gifts you won't get, because I called, and asked customer service about it.

I love it. It doesn't smell like a celebrity scent at all. Reminds me of a Jo Malone cologne. It's unique, fresh, delicate, clean, cozy and innocent. Amazing silage and longevity.

The scent smells absolutely gorgeous.Quite similar to Crush yet more musky in comparison.Beautiful bottle and packaging.A stunning addition to her superb fragrance collection.❤❤❤

Anyone know if this fragrance comes in the 8oz body mist? I HAVE to have it!!! P.s. i have the edp version. I just want the mist as well for my collection.

Just got this. As soon as I sprayed it, my daughter said, “Viva La Juicy! Spray it all over me!” It’s much sweeter than the description implies.

This is beautiful..sweet, woodsy, romantic. I can see they Alien dna there but this is more quiet and lasts about 2 seconds lol

This scent is a vary lovely white floral.I was happy to get a hold of this one and I'm happy with it!

Picture a fairy with long and curly blonde hair, bright blue eyes, rosy cheeks and lips, wearing a long white gown and sparkly jewelry, elegantly leaning against a low hanging branch of a 100-year-old tree, proudly rooted in the middle of an enchanted garden. She is watching dragonflies gracefully circling the calm surface of a lake to lay eggs, hummingbirds flitting from flower to flower in search of nectar, and colourful butterflies resting on a boulder inscribed with mysterious symbols. The most beautiful song is coming from her lips, a melody never heard by humans. What does she smell like? Let me tell you: She smells like Kiss. This is a mesmerizing and whimsical fragrance, warm, feminine, flirtatious and lighthearted. It opens with enchanting freesia, plum and neroli. The freesia is sweet, airy, and a little nose-tingling fresh, the plum is lush, juicy and gourmand, and the neroli is airy, citrussy, green, honey-orange. Then the heart emerges with feminine peony, gardenia and orange blossom. The gardenia, which can be very rich and heavy, is softened by the peony with its uplifting freshness and delicate sensuality, and the orange blossom adds a floral sweetness with an aura of innocence. The cedar grounds the fragrance by its woody freshness with hints of resin, adding depth and balance in collaboration with a somewhat carnal musk, very pleasing. The cashmere wood, which is a ‘fantasy’ accord, melts in and adds a soft, cozy and comforting feeling. The ambergris brings a hint of marine earthiness, a little woody and a little sweet, and it enhances the fragrance’s staying power. Ambergris can come across animalic, but my nose does not pick that up. The vanilla spreads a light haze of flirty, creamy smoothness - it is a lovely vanilla, not overpowering at all. On me it lasted about 4 hours before becoming a skin scent. The projection is heavy at first but quiets down to moderate after about half an hour. My boyfriend is crazy about this one, more than one time has he come over with the bottle and sprayed more of it on me :D I would wear this for any occasion year-round. PS: I adore the baby-blue-tinted bottle, which is made of heavy glass and has a golden cap, and reportedly designed by Rihanna herself.

I was so intrigued with this perfume for the longest time. How can so many perfumes that seem to doesn’t smell like each other be the “it reminds me of” of Kiss?? I mean Alien? Aqua Kiss? Rogue Love? It has always been in my cart but for some reason i buy another perfume instead. So last week i finally bought this. It arrived today and i was so giddy with excitement. I was totally expecting it to be sort of aquatic. But lo and behold, this wasn’t what i totally had in mind. At first spray i could smell that soda grapey smell that reminded me of heat rush and queen of the game. I was like bummer! I don’t need another similar scent. 😒 but after it settled in i could now smell VLJ and Rogue Love...even Rrrr by Carmen Electra. Then sometimes Alien and tiny bit of Aqua kiss. It’s like this scent transitions. It is so funny how our “nosebuds” lol thats my version of tastebuds perceive scents so differently. I also do not get much the sparkling or icy notes. I am still trying to figure out this scent. So far its on my like and not love yet. But so far im enjoying it. The blue bottle looks gorgeous too. A few spritz is enough because i can totally see how it can get cloying or too much. Update: I mixed this with BBW Perfect Peony and we have a winner! ☺️

Rihanna never stops to amaze me with her perfumes. (Reb'l Fleur is the best). Now, Kiss is a very affordable, simple fragrance, which smells almost the same as viva la juicy, but is less harsh and more fresh & creamy (we are talking about subtle differences) It's soft, discreet and easy to wear, we have definitely smelled it again everywhere, but I consider it one of the categories that should not be missing from a complete perfume collection. It has no age, it is ideal for any occasion, but personally it reminds me mostly of summer. In fact it makes me want to combine it with Coconut Passion. Daring maybe, I do not know how it will turn out. In any case, if you are looking for a fragrance of such a philosophy, I prefer it to viva la juicy.

Okay, I am so confused by this scent. The first time I tried it I got pure JuicyCouture/RogueLove very sweet super girly, but now wearing it for a second time, it smells like a watered down version of Alien. It’s nice sure, super wearable, very affordable, safe blind buy, the only downside of it is the lasting power isn’t great, it’s very faint from the start and on my skin it lasts no longer than 3-4 hours but very light. I just don’t understand how one time I smelt like JuicyCouture/RogueLove and how now it smells like a very light Alien Clone?

This fragrance is a light and much pleasant version of the ohh so very potent just cavalli. I just received my bottle. Sprayed it on my wrist about 3 hours ago and is still going strong. RiRi on the other wrist seems to be fading. Kiss might be okay for a 40 yr old me. For now, I have no idea how I'm gonna go through this 100ml blind buy. RiRi on the other hand makes the girl in me smile and has surprisingly gotten me complements 7 hours in. It is not a like from me, it is tolerable and doesn't give me headaches like just cavalli would.

Tested it on paper and on skin. Im actually quite surprise with this and coming from rihanna(i've smell all the reb line before) This is pure floral power with plum juice,soft and feminine,might get it but i want to try riri first and compare. (EDIT:ok.. done.. i get this instead of riri,because this smells different (riri smell like some perfume that i smells before)the white floral really makes it smells like a designer perfume,very feminine... plus i dont have to deal with half clear half coloured bottle when i use half of it)

I like this. Probably the perfume I got complimented on the most, I think it can be a hit or miss to people. To me it's very woody, almosttttt bordering on headache inducing pine-y car air freshener, but everything is blended to just the right amount, you're bound to get reactions with it. I think this is good for every season. It kind of has the warmth and spiciness for fall/winter and the floral-y musky creaminess for a spring/summer night out. Smells a lot like Rogue Love, but sharper, creamier because of the plum.

Kiss is fresh and clean. That plum lends a wonderful sweetness but the white florals are the main attraction. This is a really good choice for daily wear when you want something elegant and classic in a fragrance, nothing too bold. It makes you feel pretty. Doesn't last long on me, or maybe its just because the sillage is so light I think it's gone. I'm not mad at it because I got a 100ml off the $20 shelf but other than scent free places, I'd prefer it to perform better. Otherwise, the scent itself is lovely.

I alo don't understand why this perfume doesn't get more love! I first smelled this when it came out. I was on a trip then, I think in Mexico City. This is the best of the line, RiRi and Crush are not really good imho. Kiss smells very similar to Viva la Juicy Glacé, it is indeed frosty, wintery, it reminds me of a kiss under the mistletoe. Very pretty fragrance, I really enjoy this! Projection, sillage and longevity are oretty good imho :)

I thought I might like this from the notes alone even though I haven’t been a big fan of Rihanna’s fragrances. This is probably my favorite so far of her offerings and it’s a decent fragrance if you can find it on sale worth grabbing. I like the plum note which makes it more unique than the others.

Simple, easy and versatile fruity floral. This perfume has a beautiful bottle and is very easy to wear. Suitable for spring/summer. I don't get much musk from this. Need to reapply after a few hours but I don't mind.

It's one of the more unique celeb perfumes I smelled. It has a nice scent but it is hard to describe the notes so I really don't recommend blind buying it. Even after i bought it it took me a bit to get used to.

I bought the set that comes with a 100 ml bottle, lotion and travel spray. I am enjoying wearing this. The plum note is a star on my skin which makes it more fruity than floral which works for me.

I like it, DONT LOVE IT. Its very edgy and smells like plum. I thought it would be a lot more floral since there are many florals in it but nope, it reminds me of cough medicine.

I’m enjoying these florals! It reminds me of some Ariana Grande perfume notes. Underneath the florals and woods is a light cigarette smell and a bit of plastic. I still like it!

I actually really liked this It's aquatic/fruity with a little saltiness and creaminess underneath Basic but nice for carefree summer days

This isn’t my favorite perfume, but I do really like it and would repurchase it. I also get a lot of compliments when I wear this

Pretty, youthful, fresh summer perfume, too bad it's so weak, have to drown myself in it to sense anything.

Now, this one was very mediocre to me, but it was a favorite among everyone else! Lol Don't you all hate that?! When everyone loves a perfume that is just meh to you! I love the House of Rihanna. To me, this one is bland with very little excitement. The notes looked great, especially the gardenia and peony, but my nose did not pick them up. I layered the fragrance with the body mist--I became nose blind to it after a few hours, but I still received compliments. I reapplied this several times throughout the day. This is appropriate for running errands and doing chores around the house. Not a safe blind buy.

As far as celebrity perfumes go, this is nice. It's floral, fruity and slightly aquatic. It lasts a moderate amount of time but the sillage is quite low. I have the Pure Wonder fragrance mist by BBW and this smells almost exactly the same - but the Pure Wonder spray has better longevity and projection. The negatives of this perfume: - Terrible bottle. The glass is so thick and heavy on the bottom you could use it as a doorstop on a windy day and have no dramas. - The base notes (when they come through) remind me of the inside of rubber gloves. Synthetic and unpleasant.

I wish... I WISH.... I could get into this perfume. It's sweet plum and peony in a headache-y way, and I wish it had more of a citrus or an amber or a spice in the opening to even out the sweetness. I'm trying to layer this one with a citrus-y or spicy fragrance. My husband has some 1 Million laying around, and so far it's giving the contrast that I wish this had with the grapefruit and cinnamon. This is probably the only way I can wear Kiss, but the bottle was $20 on amazon, so I'm not completely at a loss if I have to toss it.

There is always something in Rihanna’s perfumes that doesn’t fit there and it’s bothering me. A note or two. I wanted to love it, but I was disappointed. It is ok of course, good to use from time to time, but I did not like it very much. There was something very strong in it killing the rest of the notes.

This smells young.. Big like! Something different than all the other perfumes.. The peony is dominant :) I love peony..It also smells sweet.. but not a cheap sweet ;) but after a while..u get a nice headace :D

This reminds me of Alien, which I rehomed. I think if you like Alien this may be a good everyday, it’s a little less thick.

Kiss was a blind buy that I purchased because I loved the smell of Rihanna's Reb'l fleur and Reb'l Fleur Love Always. After testing Kiss, I determined it was just screechy, sweet, and awful. I gave this away to my friend recently and after smelling it she asked was I sure if I wanted to give this away. I told her I was definitely sure because it didn't match my scent profile. She sprayed it on herself and the scent took over the room. Normally this is a good thing, however, she's been gone for about 20 minutes, the scent is still lingering. My windows are open to rid my space of this horrid smell, in that short amount of time I got an instant headache and a strong wave of nausea. It's going to remain a No for me.

This is nice, but not something I would wear. It reminds me quite a bit of Nude by Rihanna, which I like better, and a bit of Heat Wild Orchid by Beyonce, which I do not like. I picture no fairies flittering around with dragonflies and butterflies 🦋, when I smell this. And I don’t hear beautiful singing in my mind when I smell this. (Unless I’m literally just thinking about Rihanna singing, and remember her name is attached to this stuff). I just get synthetic cheap shampoo. Now, I began this by saying it was nice, and it really isn’t bad. My sister sprayed this on her wrist, and an hour later, it was really pretty on her. It’s just not my magical fairy juice.

Like Isobela said, I should like this one based on the notes, and Rihanna has a nice line of perfumes, but Kiss does not work for me neither. It's nice enough although too sweet for my taste, but I think it's the ambergris combined with that sweetness that makes me feel queasy for the first hour. The dry down is nicer, but the slight nausea getting there is not worth it. That's too bad...
