Kiss

Strawberry and coconut up front, condensed milk and praline once it warms up, Kiss smells like dessert rather than a bouquet.

This is a gourmand through and through. The fruit up top is bright and a little tart, raspberry alongside the strawberry, before it turns into something closer to a milky caramel candy with orange blossom threaded through the middle. Vanilla, tonka bean, and a soft musk hold the base down without turning cloying. If you want a rose or a classic floral, this isn't it. If you want something sweet enough to get noticed and complimented, it does that well.

It's a strawberry-coconut gourmand built around praline and condensed milk rather than a floral. We haven't found a consistent designer comparison for it. It reads as its own thing in the candy-gourmand category.
