Dark Kiss
Dark Kiss opens with a smoky sweetness—blackberry ripened to near-fermentation, cut by bergamot's brightness and shadowed by incense that gives the fruit an almost ceremonial quality.

By the editors · 2 min readDark Kiss opens with a smoky sweetness—blackberry ripened to near-fermentation, cut by bergamot's brightness and shadowed by incense that gives the fruit an almost ceremonial quality. It's heavier than most fruity florals, more midnight garden than daytime bouquet.
The heart brings rose and peony forward, soft but persistent, while amber begins to warm the composition from beneath. The florals never quite shake that initial smokiness; they feel dusted in something resinous. As it settles, musk takes over with a skin-close sweetness that's more approachable than the opening suggested.
This is Bath & Body Works reaching for something moodier than their usual fare—a fragrance for someone who wants darkness rendered wearable, gothic undertones without committing to full intensity. It stays closer to the skin than you'd expect from the name.
