    Real talk

    This is Bath & Body Works with teeth. Fruity-sweet, yes, but underneath it, incense smoke curls through like a dare. It offers gothic depth without losing its sweetness.Dark Kiss
    If you want a fragrance that smells like a berry-stained morning on a tropical river, this delivers. The raspberry note is genuine, not candy-like, and the vanilla drydown keeps it grounded rather.Il Bosco e la Riva
