Scent of Kiss #PopLove
Armand Basi Scent of Kiss #PopLove Eau de Toilette 50ml is young, bright and over in seven materials, and it is none the worse for being exactly what it looks like.
The opening is juicy and cool. Pear gives it a pale, watery sweetness, watermelon adds that slightly green, almost rindy freshness that smells more like the fruit cut open than cooked, and bergamot brightens both with a bitter citrus lift. It is cheerful and it is instant, and nothing about it asks for any patience from the person wearing it.
The heart is clean rather than heavy. Jasmine supplies the floral weight, though it is used lightly here rather than at full strength, and white lily adds a cool green sweetness over the top of it. Two flowers, one of them deliberately restrained, so the fruit from the opening is still in the picture for most of the time the middle is playing out.
The base is where it gets its staying power. Musk holds it soft and low against the body and cashmeran adds a warm, fuzzy, faintly spicy depth underneath, and between them they carry the scent through the afternoon without changing its character. Seven materials, no second act, and the composition is honest about that.
Nathalie Lorson composed it. The eau de toilette concentration makes it an easy daily wear for spring and summer, for daylight and for anyone who does not want to be noticed from across a room. Fifty millilitres is the right size for something you will reapply after lunch rather than ration. Behind the name is a Barcelona fashion house that began in the Basi family's knitwear trade; it licenses fragrance, watches and eyewear, and its perfumes date from 1999.
