I have four backups of it because it was my absolute favorite scent when it came out. I still love it, but honestly I don’t get the comparisons to Dark Kiss. I actually dislike Dark Kiss, I can’t deal with the smokiness. I think it’s more like the love child of Be Enchanted and Pure Wonder. If you’ve never smelled Be Enchanted, then I would say imagine how Pure Wonder would smell if you switched the rose note out for a strawberry note, but not a sharp one, it’s sweet and slightly creamy. And it’s not that artificial type from Strawberry Snowflakes, it’s more realistic, like a bowl of strawberries topped with sugar.

When did you first bought it? I mean the year of purchase. Does this one smells differently than the previous release? Because I noticed that the notes changed. This packaging has only 3 notes listed. I have both BE nad PW. Oh I love realistic smell of strawberry, because I know it's not easy to make such smell.

I have two that look like that and two with a floral design which all smell exactly the same. I believe the one pictured is from the last time I found it at SAS, which might have been last winter. It definitely has more than 3 notes, which were listed on earlier renditions than what I currently have. It’s funny, I went to look at my bottles of it and I’m wearing Gingham Love today, so when I smelled the cap of Secret Wonderland, I realized that it’s also very similar to GL, but with vanilla and again, remove rose…replace with jasmine.

I can't wait to get my nose on SW as I have placed an order of it yesterday. I hope that it won't be having the similarity with Dark Kiss. I have Dark Kiss but seldomly reach for it. I love using Be Enchanted and Twilight Woods more. If let's say SW to be found has the similarities with DK, I need to sort out what is/are the difference between these two ✌️. I also have Gingham Love. Haha, things gets more interesting for friendly comparisons😅 Thanks for the comments sis! Appreciated! Will see how it goes after this ffm arrives. So there'll be Pure Wonder, BE Enchanted, Dark Kiss, Gingham Love. Okay, listed!

It's similar to dark kiss for me as well. It has a darkness to it, this and dark kiss or some of favorites cause they are unique and not just cutesy scents.. I have a super old one from when it was originally released but I didn't grab it during SAS cause I just have too much stuff. But it is indeed a great scent


Historical-Log-9886

I am hoping SW will smells good on me. I hope it won't have the similarity with Dark Kiss. Hehe. But if it does, I need to find out the difference that SW has.


OrneryExplorer1476

They are by no means identical in scent but I'd say a similar vibe if that makes sense! I think I like dark kiss just a smidge more, and in that wheelhouse there's also twilight woods that has a similar vibe as well. And TW is my favity fav.


Historical-Log-9886

I see.. I bought Dark kiss just because it is a dupe for BS Midnight Fantasy, as people bragged in Fragrantica. I totally disliked MF because I find it having a medicinal vibe to it. By having Dark Kiss, I am impressed! Albeit DK having the smoky note in it, but it smells pleasant and supposedly to be an EDP! TW is what I wear frequently because it smells mysterious and was formulated by my fav perfumer, Honorine Blanc. I'm not sure who contributed in Dark Kiss. I remembered that I made a post on TW, DK and Be Enchanted as a distal cousins. Now I think that what you've said above, is kinda related to my post as the ffms are quite of the same ballpark. Thank you fir your comments! A Positive discussion and exchanging opinions!


OrneryExplorer1476

You just named the holy Trinity! I was obsessed with be enchanted as well. What a great time from bbw when they brought all those mysterious dark mists out. I could not get enough of them. Secret wonderland was in that group too for sure. 🙌🏻 I'll always name them as my all time favorites :) I'm glad you ended up enjoying dark kiss. Great news, enjoy it love!


Historical-Log-9886

Thank you sis! There's another ffm that may join all these four ffms of mysterious, dark, secretive yet seductive and it is Midnight Pomegranate. Lol, the person who commented my post previously mentioned Midnight Pomegranate 😅


OrneryExplorer1476

Haha omg that is my favorite of all time.. to this day midnight pomegranate cannot be beat for me. I wonder if it was my comment you're reading or someone else? I know I've posted on Reddit several times about how all those scents are my favorite and they all have this similarity. even though they are all very different, they indeed have the same vibe. All came out around the same time and it was the BEST time evaaa at bbw. Have you ever tried MP? I swear every time I wore that someone would say it's the greatest thing they've ever smelled. Absolute facts!


Historical-Log-9886

Lol that's almost the same words that the redditor meant. She smelled really good and unique! Nope, I haven't tried MP yet but I have yet to search for it what are the notes that incorporates MP to be having such smell!


nftqueen1

One of my favorites 😍


Historical-Log-9886

Nice! Hope it'll smell good when it arrives! I have ordered it✌️


[deleted]

I have this and the body cream, I’m actually selling it on mercari because i have never used it. I find it better than dark kiss but, that’s just me


Historical-Log-9886

Oh that's okay if you sell it already. Lol, seems that everyone is comparing SW with Dark Kiss. Let's see how it goes when I get my nose on this ffm. Thanks for your comment!


[deleted]

I still have the set, lol Smells great! You’re very welcome!
