Love Passion Kiss Fragrance Mist

Guess sell this as the rush of a first kiss, which is marketing, but the composition underneath is a perfectly sensible fruity floral. Grapefruit and orange open it with a sharp citrus bite, and raspberry arrives almost immediately to soften that into something jammy and pink. The heart is the best part: jasmine and plumeria give a proper white-floral creaminess and nectarine keeps the fruit going, so it reads as tropical without tipping into suncream. Vanilla, violet and musk finish it, the violet adding a powdery lipstick quality that is very much this brand's house style. It is a 250ml alcohol fragrance mist, so it is light, sits close to the skin and will be gone in an hour or two, and it is intended as a daytime top-up over the matching eau de toilette rather than a standalone perfume. Guess themselves suggest wearing the stronger fragrance in the morning and refreshing with the mist later. On its own it is a good spring and summer scent, cheerful rather than serious, and easy to wear anywhere. At around fifteen pounds for a bottle this size, generous application is the point.
