Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

The creamy floral green character and moderate sweetness make this ideal for spring and fall, where its soft, uplifting tones shine. It is less suited to winter's density or summer's heat due to its lactonic and mossy undertones.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its gentle projection, creamy-musk base, and fresh green heart suit work, casual, and daytime romantic settings without overwhelming. It's less suited to sports or high-glamour formal events due to its subtly intimate, soft presence.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

A Kiss of Bliss opens with a sparkling green freshness from clover and bergamot, quickly enveloped by a creamy, almost milky floral heart of jasmine and heliotrope, underscored by a gentle matcha nuance. The composition settles into a plush base of musk, moss, and patchouli, lending a clean yet velvety finish. Neither overly sweet nor sharp, the fragrance radiates a serene, luminous elegance, balancing modern freshness with a subtle, enveloping softness.
