A Lychee-pepper-floral perfume reminscent of Lancôme Miracle--only better
Lalique TENDRE KISS reminds me a bit of Lancôme MIRACLE. Both feature pepper, flowers, and lychee, but TENDRE KISS offers a somewhat more subtle presentation of these notes to my nose. In addition, TENDRE KISS has a less musky base. The labdanum here imparts a smooth texture and viscosity apparent from the opening. It may also account for the good longevity of this low sillage edp.

I would call TENDRE KISS an oriental floral, since the spices are just as important as the rose. If I were in the market for a lychee pepper floral perfume, I'd choose TENDRE KISS over MIRACLE since the pepper is more measured in this composition and does not overwhelm the florals. But anyone who likes the Lancôme will surely like the Lalique as well.

Kiss from a Thorny Rose
Lalique fragrances were once characterized by particularly beautiful bottles, which is why I had always been enamored with this scent. In the meantime, Lalique has changed the bottle; it now has the rectangular shape of the classics and no longer excites me, but just in time, I managed to snag one in the prettier design:

The name and the romantic bottle suggest innocence. But even the first whiff speaks a different language: endless pink pepper. Are we at Maredo? Lychee, berries: no. The development is just as surprising: sweet, gourmand notes blend in my nose into a rosy fruit puree with a hint of spiciness.
A summer gourmand with a twist?
However, it is not light; it doesn't kiss but rather thumps.
Still, the sillage is wonderfully fresh-rosy-spicy. And it lasts and lasts.

I hope that the scent hasn’t been altered in the rectangular bottle, as is often done these days, because this one in the kitschy bottle is a great, sharp, modern rose scent for anyone who wants to make a statement.

More than just a kiss....
Tendre Kiss was recently a bargain and “blind purchase” for me. On one hand, the reviews here were so good and on the other hand, I like some of the Laliques.

The opening is fresh and slightly fruity, quickly followed by spicy pepper, accompanied by a bouquet of roses. The pepper gives the fragrance a nice, slightly bitter note; Tendre Kiss is not a soft, pleasing scent. I find it a bit cumbersome, which I actually like a lot. Towards the end, it becomes woody and warm; I can't smell the vanilla, and I have no idea what labdanum smells like. According to classification, many perfume enthusiasts (after all, 12%) perceive it as sweet, but my nose does not. However, if I've learned anything here, it's that the degree of sweetness is a topic for excellent debate. Tendre Kiss lasts surprisingly well on me, the sillage is rather subtle. In autumn and spring, it feels most comfortable; my bottle is rectangular, rosy, and the color matches the scent beautifully. The purchase was truly worth it; unfortunately, I don't have the aforementioned bottle, but you can't have everything; it's the content that matters, and that has class.

an underestimated...
..fragrance gem, in my opinion.
It is spicy, peppery, rosy, and somewhat leathery. It is not a smooth scent like Lalique Le Parfum, but it has edges and facets that make it a special and interesting little fragrance...
If you like spices in perfumes and also enjoy rose, then you will find pleasure in this scent.
I, for one, think it’s good :)

Light Breeze = Anticipation for Summer
I am - as you can probably tell - a true Lalique fan. My partner is also well-equipped with the fragrances from this perfume manufacturer.

Tendre Kiss was a "blind buy." The listed fragrance pyramid and the two positive comments about the scent inspired me. I am already looking forward to summer when the fragrance can fully justify its existence. Right now in winter, it doesn't quite dare to show itself with its "tenderness."

But as I said, I ordered it very, very cheaply without trying it first -> had some doubts about whether it would be good at such a great price -> fragrance arrived, unpacked, sprayed -> all doubts vanished, fragrance remained!!

On my skin, it starts very softly with the berry aroma, then briefly makes way for the pink pepper. It lingers with the rose and labdanum for quite a while. Sandalwood and vanilla are a bit shy and don't quite want to come forward on my skin with this scent. Perhaps they will lose their shyness in summer.

Conclusion: Longevity is very soft... it is indeed "Tendre" Kiss, with the pink pepper pleasantly boosting the rose in its dominance. A worthwhile purchase!

Bottle: The predecessor does more justice to the fragrance, beautifully romantic and playful. The new one is okay. Lalique can indeed create beautiful glass art and wonderful perfumes. And: They can finely combine the two.

A gentle, whispered kiss that you quickly forget, but it doesn’t bother or disturb you at all - it’s just too mild for that.

A glazed, rosy, spicy, finely crumbly vanilla cookie. Refined, but unfortunately too shy, I miss the elegant Laliquetwist.

A not-sweet, fresh summer rose, on a lychee and red berry base, with a hint of pepper.
