Pink tulle dress with (imitation) leather jacket
If "Taste of Kiss" was an outfit, it would look like this to me:
In my closet hangs my beloved pink tulle dress with flounces. The upper layer of tulle has dots integrated into the fabric and a light print, which is mainly made of flowers and is not too conspicuous in colour I usually wear it only in summer because of the bandeau cutout and even then much too rarely for my taste, because I see myself standing in front of it and facing a big problem at the same time:
How do I combine this piece without looking like a wannabe fairy princess?
That's why I usually choose fishnet-look pantyhose and somewhat coarser boots, for evenings I wear the (artificial) leather jacket over my arm.

In terms of colour alone, "Taste of Kiss" would make a very good outfit for me.
The bottle is appropriately angular, with the pink part at the bottom merging seamlessly into the black.
For me as a fan of angular (I prefer the bottle to be a cuboid), simple and plainly held bottles, I like the presentation. The cardboard looks cheap, but what the heck, you just throw it directly into the waste paper.
As with all LaRives, I think it is better to pinch your nose together for the first few seconds, at least until the minimal pungent alcohol smell has disappeared.
It is worth it, because underneath there is a little treasure.
The strawberry note makes me think of chemical fruit gum flavour that has been added to the cream (which is the reason why it doesn't corrode your nose), but synthetic is not always bad for me, moreover the fruits harmonize perfectly with the sweets that are still in "Taste of Kiss".
"Taste of Kiss" - the taste of kiss. Hmmm... The lady with the pink tulle dress, the boots and the leather jacket probably smoked, but that must have been yesterday, because you can only smell it very slightly on her jacket and although I as a militant non-smoker really don't like smoke, I would probably still kiss her, the rocking fairy princess.
She did everything right, especially considering that you can find her for 6-7€ at the drugstore of your choice.
Durability is reasonable, I myself perceive the smell on my skin for a few hours (but would have to look at the watch first and pay close attention to it).
The Sillage is also good, at the beginning you notice a small cloud around you, but the scent gets quite close to your skin very quickly, which I personally like much better.
When there are large clouds of scent around people, I feel reminded of an obscurus from time to time - everyone who has seen "Fantastic animal creatures and where to find them" knows that this creature is not a good thing - because in my humble opinion, you wear a perfume for yourself and ideally you should keep it with you as best you can.
After all, you can't please everyone, and certainly not everyone's nose.
Just like "Taste of Kiss" certainly doesn't like the smell of everyone.
I do. I like gourmands the most and it can't be sweet enough for me, but the strength of "Taste of Kiss" is that it doesn't exaggerate, but scores with a subtle restraint and sugar reduction
All in all an 8 out of 10

But you look very familiar to me!!!:))))
Today I have been with my mother in the perfumery, this time we were not looking for a perfume for me but for her:))). Let's just say that her favourite fragrance is the la vie e belle florale from Lancome and the fragrance is LEIDER! from the range. My mother asked me if I knew a fragrance that smells 1 to 1 like that... And there came to me the scent of la rive in the sense of queen of life. While she was testing and sniffing other fragrances, I was also sniffing through myself as I was looking for a good fruity, gourmand fragrance that is not so strong but still nice and sweet. The saleswoman already knew about my scent taste and recommended me to test this scent here from la rive, which she apparently also likes very much. I looked at the bottle and I thought about if I had heard anything about this fragrance... Nevertheless no one really came to my mind so I thought I'd come and test it out:))) When I sprayed on I was like bound by this fragrance because I remembered very, very strongly at la nuit Tresor...*-*

The saleswoman grinned at me and said: Naaaaaa.... does that smell look familiar to you? I looked at her with a smile and big eyes and was somehow speechless... ( Yes you can think what you want but this scent is just mega! It is so far the best dupe to the la nuit safe!) Many here also know the la nuit safe... Also with this fragrance here it is like with any other either you love it like I do or you can't bear it because it's too sweet and too strong.
When I sprayed it on I smelled the fruity notes at the beginning, which is not really different with the la nuit tresor, everything here is always lighter and not so strong and sweet. After a short time about 1min. you can already smell the gourmand notes out, with the LNT there is again extremely this tasty sticky sweet pre-programmed this here is nice sweet but not sticky sweet rather airy I would say. Personally I can smell the vanilla note much more at the Tast of kiss but also a certain coffee note is there from time to time present ( No it's not the coffee note from the Black Opium) I smell caramel and praline especially very strongly in the base note but also there not too much but also not too little it actually just right:))) H+S is very good for a la rive fragrance as I find so around the 5.hours on the skin but on the clothes keeping me to 90% always the very sweet fragrances up to 2.days on the clothes.
My conclusion... Who likes very sweet Gourmand scents should have a closer look at the La nuit safe and try it out:)))) But who says I would like a fragrance that is sweet, but not too sweet means that can also be worn perfectly in everyday life and no one disturbs should take a closer look here and test. I personally think both mega are very good but my favourite is the La nuit safe:)))))) I just hope very much that I could compare the two scents well with each other;))
