I have always had a special place in my nostrils for Escada brand perfumes. One of my favorites; hands down, goes to Escada Island Kiss.
This perfume not only smells fantastic, but it also comes in really sexy bottle. The bottle itself is shaped like a tear drop with a light pink bottom that fades into a light blue at the top.
To be honest the reasoning I even had an interest in the perfume was because of the bottle.
I came across it last winter at our local Smithaven Mall, and when I saw it sitting pretty on the glass counter in a pile of testers, I had to give it a try. My cousin who was also with me, told me the perfume was awesome (she works in Macy’s perfume department, so she knows her stuff). Her and I though have 2 different tastes when it comes to perfume. She seems to be drawn to more fruity day fragrances, where I prefer more musky light perfumes.
I picked up the bottle and gave its nozzle a tap. What came out of the nozzle though was eye opening, and gorgeous. My cousin was right, it was a damn good perfume.
Fruit is the main thought that comes to mind when I think of Escada Island Kiss. It smells like fruit punch, lovely juicy fruit punch. It is a scent that I had smelled before though from Bath and Body Works. Tuity Fruity to be precise. However that fragrance is no longer available in the store, and smelling it come from a perfume bottle brought back summer memories from my teens.
I had to have it! I had to have this scent! So I bought it.
Lasting Power:
The Tuity Fruity spray that I had as a teen never lasted long, but I would spray it in bulk almost every half hour just so I could smell it. I was hoping Escada Island Kiss would last longer…much longer.
Overall the scent lasted for half of the day. It did not last very long, but it was long enough compared to most perfumes I own. So it was all good.
Overall:
I love it. I love the fun teen like fruity scent, I love how it makes me feel (all happy and giddy inside), and I love how it has captured a favorite scent of mine from my earlier years.
Finding it:
Island Kiss can be found in most perfume stores. However at times they are sold out. You can also find it online by key wording Escada Island kiss on www.google.com. The price varies anywhere from $39.99 to $53.99 for large sized bottles. It truly is worth the splurge.
Recommendation:
Escada Island Kiss is really a girly girl scent. If you are not into fruity scents than pass this one up. However if you are…this one is a must.
