Scent Of Kiss
by Armand Basi
Scent of Kiss by Armand Basi is a bright, youthful gourmand with a core of lush fruit and soft vanilla. The opening bursts with ripe apple, grapefruit, pear, and strawberry, creating a cheerful, lip-smacking effect. As it settles, the floral notes of jasmine, orange blossom, and peach blossom meld into the creamy vanilla base, enhanced by subtle cedar and sandalwood. There’s a faint, artificial patchouli presence that adds a spicy twist, though it’s not dominant. The scent is smooth and well-blended, with a light, airy feel rather than heavy sweetness, making it feel more natural than many modern fruity gourmands. Despite moderate longevity and modest sillage, it comfortably fits casual daytime use, and its intimate, sweet charm makes it ideal for spring and summer occasions. The bottle design, reminiscent of Cacharel's Yes I Am, adds to its appeal, evoking a whimsical, flirtatious mood.
