A soft peck on the cheek
This is mainly a clean white musk. I can clearly smell the cooling powdery iris here, and especially in the opening the scent doesn't show a lot of warmth. It feels soapy, laundry-like and almost aldehydic.
That changes in the drydown. Vanilla and benzoin aren't really prominent, but they make the whole composition warmer, sweeter and quite cozy. I wish I got more of the black pepper and mandarin, I can barely sense these notes and I think they could have added some interest.
The way it is, Besos is nice and extremely wearable, but it also feels very familiar. Even though can't name any specific perfumes it reminds me of, I have definitely smelled similar scent profiles elsewhere, even in lower price brackets. For my taste, this is a little too dry, I prefer my clean musks a tad creamier. These little details are always very personal though, it could be just right for someone else.
Carner's official websites describes this perfume as a "sultry ballad that beckons with fervor". That couldn't be further from my impression. It's office friendly. A sweet, harmless little kiss on the cheek or the forehead, nothing too passionate.
