Lovely scent in a beautiful bottle!
I absolutely love the original Loverdose and this comes close to the original for me. It's notes are very different, but the powdery, sugary drydown of Red Kiss reminds me of Loverdose's dry down. The only difference is that Loverdose's dry down has more vanilla.
Red Kiss is a little gourmand, however it does not overpower and choke anyone out. The hazelnut and cacao are noticeable but they do not take center stage. Definitely a scent for the colder days. Longevity is amazing, 14 hours later and I can still smell it on my wrist. It projects nicely, and people close to you will be able to smell it on you. It's not a sillage beast though.
Upon first spray I smell the fresh fruits. Fresh green apple is the first thing I notice, mixed with some black currant. The sugar, bergamot and orange blossom are also there, but more muted. I really love smelling the fruits, especially in the morning when I just woke up. After the first hour Red Kiss starts to settle down into a comfy mixture of mostly sugar with hazelnut and a hint of cocoa and orange blossom still. I can't smell the apricot in this at all.
The dry down is my favorite stage. It's a mixture of sugar, hazelnut and amber. The combination of sugar and hazelnut strongly smells of vanilla. I'm actually surprised that there is no actual vanilla in this because I'd swear it's what I smell. The dry down is very cozy and comforting, a perfect scent for just laying around in bed or on the couch. That's why I love oriental vanilla scents, they're just so soft and give me comfy, relaxed and warm feelings. This is also my boyfriends favorite perfume on me, he complements me every time I wear it.
