Taste of Kiss

LA RIVE Taste of Kiss is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Taste of Kiss opens with Pear, Bergamot, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose, Orchid, Passionfruit, and Strawberry, and dries down to a base of Coffee, Caramel, Litchi, and Licorice. LA RIVE's Taste of Kiss carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive dupe that punches well above its weight for the price. Some call it an absolute gem and even prefer it to the original, while others find it cheap, synthetic, and headache-inducing. It's a low-risk blind buy, so if you're curious, give it a go.

This perfume is quite potent and sweet, making it less suitable for office environments where strong fragrances can be distracting. However, its dark, sensual, and gourmand character makes it perfect for date nights or formal events, especially in cooler weather.

About

Opens with a burst of sweet, juicy pear and tangerine, quickly transitioning to a heart of rich strawberry and exotic passionfruit, softened by elegant rose and orchid. The dry down is a complex gourmand fantasy, blending creamy praline and caramel with a hint of coffee, warm vanilla, and a mysterious, smoky touch of incense and patchouli. A unique sweet and spicy profile.
