Kiss me! Really, really tight!
*sigh*
My title, yes yes. That's exactly what I keep telling you ladies, especially you perfume lovers here! But no, no one listens to me (as always…), so here I sit disappointed and write another comment to still bring you all some joy… do you see what I do for you? But no, no one listens to me… as always…

Shame on you…!

*sigh*

:DD

Anyway, the name of this fragrance means "Kiss me really tight!", which is already an interesting name. Hm,… does the scent taste like lipstick,… uh, smell like it? Well, we’ll find out shortly!

The scent:
The fragrance starts off powdery with iris, is also slightly sweet, and I can already smell the first, still faint leather notes. However, the background of the top note is also citrusy; to me, it smells like the juicy flesh of a (sweet) mandarin, although this scent becomes slightly bitter shortly after and then smells like that white skin between the flesh and the peel, which I also find great here.
However, the citrus fruit doesn't last too long and soon fades away. Then you can smell the iris and the leather even better. Since the iris has a sweet scent, it indeed has a lipstick-like character or reminds one a bit of makeup, and thus the fragrance occasionally reminds me a little of Dior Homme (the EDT), only that here in Besame Mucho the leather note is significantly stronger than in DH.
In the base, the scent remains as described, only that the leather now radiates a bit more strongly.

The sillage and longevity:
The sillage is rather weak, and the scent is, in my opinion, only perceivable from close up.
The longevity is unfortunately not very long and lasts just four to five hours.

The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and has a thick base. It is filled with light yellow fragrance liquid, the label on the front simply displays the name of the fragrance, and the black cap is T-shaped. Quite nice, even if it appears a bit simple.

Hm, does the fragrance smell like wild kissing? Well, how should I know, lacking "test material," mu ha ha ha :D
The only thing I could kiss right now is my cat. Apart from the fact that he’s a guy, it would be quite hairy… yes… sometimes, when I give him a smooch on the head, I still get one or two hairs on me… yes yes… no comment without "hair-raising cat stories" :DD

No, but it does have something of lips and such, at least when it comes to lipstick, because as mentioned, the scent reminded me a bit of Dior Homme, which also has a rather lipstick-like quality. The scent itself isn’t bad, but you always have the feeling that it wants to pick up speed, which it ultimately does not, and thus comes across as a bit… well, I don’t know… a little unfinished.

A bit more strength would have done the fragrance good; as it is, it’s a nice scent, but it will probably get lost in the sea of many other nice fragrances. It would be quite wearable in spring and summer, as it is rather light despite the powdery-sweet notes. And since it is indeed weaker, it is not really suitable for going out, but rather serves as a nice, somewhat harmless daytime scent that unfortunately fades a bit too quickly.

The Leather - Clutch
Besame Mucho starts off fine - powdery, but also quite subtly fruity.

Our dear perfumer "Elbchen" sent me her sample, giving me the opportunity to test this fragrance, for which I would like to express my sincere thanks.

A delicate, bright, and very beautiful powdery iris can be detected, accompanied by subtle orangey-citrus nuances derived from the tangerine.

The tangerine is used in such a way that it does not stand out; rather, it is responsible for lifting the iris into the air and giving it a little more volume.

Besame Mucho does not have a real progression - it merely transforms over time.

As time goes on, the tangerine completely disappears, making way for the fine - shiny black leather.

The black leather blends very pleasantly with the iris, giving the iris a slightly creamy aura.

I see Besame Mucho more suited for a perfumer than a perfumier, as the scent has very fine feminine traits, but that should not deter our perfumers from trying this fragrance as well.

Thus, Besame Mucho is a black leather - clutch, whose wearer carries an iris scent.

Overall, the fragrance can be detected on my skin for 8 hours.

The sillage is designed from the start to be perceived at about half an arm's length, and this is maintained for 3 hours before it gradually diminishes until the scent finally fades away completely.

Nice, not very adventurous scent featuring frankincense, iris, and cedar. All natural brand. Poor performance, both projection and longevity

The leather is way too hesitant: not a great seducer, but the shy boy next door. Which can be totally fine too.

I wanted hot kisses/tongue games!
This is schoolyard giggles with suede shoes in the iris field.
The scent lacks soul
nothing exciting.

Leather-herb scent ...
between it, powdery iris with a touch of aftershave!
Can be worn by women .. but it's more masculine!
Not really blowing me away :)

An elegant scent for the mature man over 50. It reminds me more of a classic aftershave: soapy, herbal, subtle sweetness, aromatic.

Quite synthetic, leathery, herbaceous, not sweet.
Rather masculine
Citrusy, bitter, dark.
However, it becomes a bit softer over time.

A pretty nice leather scent, in the style of Blood Concept Black Series 0 or Helmut Lang Cuiron.
The performance is also decent.
Worth trying.
