Escada Island Kiss is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Philippe Romano. Island Kiss opens with Passion Flower, Orange, Jasmine, and Magnolia, settles into a heart of Red Fruits, Rose Hip, Hibiscus, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Sandalwood. Escada's Island Kiss carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Island Kiss is pure bottled sunshine, a vibrant throwback to carefree summers. It's a sweet, fruity cocktail that's sparked adoration and nostalgia for years, despite a few finding it a bit too much or too similar to other summer limited editions.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With its strong fruity and sweet accords, plus a reputation for being quite potent (even if longevity varies), Island Kiss is too bold for a typical office and not formal enough. It shines in casual settings and on dates where its playful charm can be appreciated.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Dive into a delicious tropical punch, bursting with juicy mango, passionfruit, and sweet raspberry. Magnolia and jasmine add a bright, fresh floral lift, while a heart of peach and red berries keeps the sweetness dancing. It finishes with a soft, warm embrace of sandalwood and musk, leaving you with the memory of endless summer days.
