Island Kiss (2004)
by Escada

notes de tête mango, orange, passion fruit
note de cœur magnolia, white peach, transparent flowers
notes de fond hibiscus, red fruits, blond woods, musks

Lots of mango and orange in the opening: the white peach from the middle also makes itself known. The accord is tropical and not very sophisticated. I wouldn’t even say it’s pretty – just boringly tropical. It pretty much stays the same for the remainder of the fragrance because the fragrance really doesn’t develop with much variety. The base is not very different from the top – it’s fruity – even though there is a discernable spicy hibiscus and a light musky base. I don’t pick up the woods that are supposed to be there. Escada Island Kiss is cute and young and that’s about as far as it goes.

I liked Island Kiss- until I tried it on. It lasts for about 30 minutes. It also smells almost exactly like Rockin ' Rio and Sunset Heat. Is Escada just repackaging this fragrance annually? It's sweet and fruity, and if it lasted, it would be a real summertime treat. What a shame.

very fruity and fresh scent. It is a Floral - Fruity type of perfume. It kinda smells like candy as well.
It reminds me of the peach and its fresh air, like in Hawaii.
I enjoy smelling it every now and then. so I guess its ok.

Unbearably fruity and juvenile.
The passionfruit-esque note and the mango makes me want to gag.

sickly sweet but dries to a bearable super fruity scent. almost teenager-ish.

Tropical fruit, sweet and juicy! (Not a personal fave but I can certainly appreciate the fine skills used to devise such a scent.) Top notes are bright and fresh. Authentic fruit aroma. The drydown brings a soapiness that sends this fragrance into the "shampoo" category. If this one comes in a shower gel it would be wonderful! I would love it as a body wash. As for a personal fragrance - I'll pass.
