Just A Kiss

Just a Kiss is a decent, upbeat fragrance. On my skin, it reads more along the lines of an eau Fraiche or a body mist, perhaps what some folks call a “lean in” or “skin” scent. As far as the “lipstick” notes, I don’t really detect that in this fragrance, although the mind wants to say you subconsciously know exactly what they intended by it. It’s mostly a straightforward peony scent with a hint of spice. I do love the pink pepper, though. I find it always enhances florals without making them overly sweet, and it adds a little bit of zing. There are no fruits listed, but there is a “juicy” quality to Just a Kiss. This is a good fragrance to carry as a midday refresher. I also like to use this as a layer over more robust fragrances, especially to tone down an overly citrusy product. You can tell from the shape of the bottle it’s an outlier of VS’s Bombshell line, and it has some at that same vibe. Youthful and flirtatious, pretty without being offensive or intrusive. It was a limited run for VS’s 2019 Valentine’s Day promotion, but they almost always have something in stock that’s close enough to this. I like to wear it because I already have it, but you’re not really missing anything if you don’t. It’s a nice fragrance; it’s just not particularly unique.

This is perfume is a revamping of the Victoria's Secret Crush perfume. The packaging is more efficient because it doesn't have the atomizer that Crush did, and it describes it as having "peonies, lip gloss, and peppercorn" instead of the having "peonies, Ashoka flower, and peppercorn". However, for me the smell is almost identical. The perfume is suitable to wear for any situation, although it gives off more daytime vibes. It is a very floral and fresh scent, with a hint of spiciness from the peppercorn which makes it an overall soft feminine scent. It is a youthful and intoxicating scent that emulates a rush of sweetness when you smell it. It is a perfume that stays close to the skin, meaning it isn't strong in the sense that it will leave a trail in a room, but it is very apparent to people who are within arm's distance to you. I actually prefer that the sillage is closer to the body because it plays to the intoxicating nature of the perfume.

For me this is just okay, a nice sweet feminine fragrance that is perfect for casual chores. It is a skin scent where only those really close to you can smell and enjoy it. I find the bottle cute though. This is also nice for those days when you don’t want to think about what perfume to wear. Just a kiss is cute, girly and feminine.

Got this gifted as roll on and ran to buy the full bottle because I loved it so much despite this being fruity (The number of fruity parfums I like and have beside this is zero. And that's ok) Staying power is meh but oh well...I don't really care for that either way.

my favorite scent at the moment. it is fruity with the notes of pink pepper. reminds me of spring/summertime!
