Le Baiser (1999)
by Lalique

Published NOTES: black currant, gardenia and violet; middle notes are pepper, jasmine, pimento berries and rose; base notes are sandalwood, amber, musk and cedar

I'm surprised no one has mentioned how strong the violet is in the very sporadic reviewing Le Baiser has seen on Basenotes- that may be the uber sweetness to it. The cute little kissy face motif on the bottle certainly reinforces that "precious" concept.
I bought a 30 ml boxed bottle of EDP on eBay for $1 without any pre-purchase research, and hey, it's very wearable if you are a white floral fan. The drydown is really nice because the astringent violet mellows and blends with the pepper, musk and cedar on my skin. I'm not getting the fruit and am barely getting the rose which seems to dominate other reviews.
Thumbs up, for violet lovers.
For me because I already have apres l'ondee as a violet, actually more powdery than Le Baiser, it's a like not a love - a neutral leaning slightly up. I wish I hadn't given away my sample of TF Violet Blond because I'd like to compare that too.

Well, well, so unpopular, so undiscussed! I actually really like this. I couldn't say 'love', as it's a bit too simple, too sweet in the good-natured way, to be passionate about, but... This is really, really pleasant and sweet-natured and... just plain nice. I love me some weird and skanky in perfume, the more animalic the better, but hey, some days I just want to smell like a rose covered in non-acidic lemon powder! I really don't see what others dislike so powerfully. And the bottle is a pure Lalique charmer. You like rose or lemoney sweetness? Give it a whirl.

Sweet, cheap, nasty and flat as a fart. This wouldn't even be acceptable as a room fragrance, as it actually stinks.

I’m not much of a fan of this one. It’s a scent in the lines of Clarins’s Par Amour and I didn’t love that one either.
I found it to be too sweet, too grown up, too much.
It’s still more elegant than tons of stuff out there, but there was some strange note there that didn’t go well with me.
I expected more of this one.
Great, heavy, classy bottle
