This is absolutely stunning! Must be one of the best MWFC scents. It behaves nicely in cp soap, but it discolors to a very, very dark brown. I used activated charcoal in my batter and it turned dark green for a couple of days, but then it went back to black. I did some unscented swirls for another color, but the fragrance is so strong it bleed into my unscented portion and made it darker. Well, it's called Dark Kiss for a reason ;-) The scent is very strong as soap cures. Amazing for any bath and body products. Need a bigger bottle of this one.
Perfect year round! I love how this one develops depending on the season. Perfect for spring and summer with the fruity top notes, then the warm and earthy take over in the fall and winter. One of my best sellers all around.
This one’s definitely dark and mysterious, but nice
These fragrances are awesome. I mixed it with my aroma beads last night and they are already close to curing. I love it and I will be ordering more
I make wax melts. It has a nice scent for valentines day, like a **** fruity smell but its not as strong as I would like.
Like it
My customers loves this fragrance! Hot throw is awesome. Will always be my go to fragrance
Divine!
I mix this with another fragrance and it is may best seller! Please don't ever stop selling this!
Love this scent, perfect for Valentine’s!
I opened this bottle and fell in LOVE! I can't even describe this fragrance other than alluring and deep and sensual!
A feminine fragrance that works well in wax and lotion.
This is one of my best sellers… it’s rich and deep. I love it 😍
I love this scent & will add it to my brand
It's nice, but not my favorite.
💯 nailed it. It has been one of favorites and has been a huge hit with coworkers and friends.
Not at all what I expected based on the notes. I understand this is a dupe but I have never smelled that before. It doesn't smell fruity at all to me, its a warm scent on the sweet side. I haven't used this in my CP Soap yet. I am prone to migraines triggered by scent and I fear this is going to trigger one if I work with it. I would exchange it for a different more fruity scent however that isn't an option.
My client asked for a "sexy and sensual scent" so I tried Dark Kiss in a candle for her & she loved it!!
This is amazing. Nice romantic scent. Not too fruity. Not too floral. BEAUTIFUL
Like everything they have the US true to being amazing. The daring fruit like small is amazing in shower gel and super strong in wax melts
My daughter’s favorite scent. It smells the whole room. This one is a keeper!
This fragrance is a great unisex scent. Touch of sweet and masculine
This is a great smell on its own and as a mixer!
Lovely. Simply, lovely OOB. Will come back for 2nd review after curing.
Wish I got this sooner!!
I love this fragrance in my 464 wax candles. It has a sexy and intoxicating cold throw. It's very subtle in my hot throw at 8%. I'm going to retry for a stronger hot throw.
Oh my goodness. Bought this on a recommendation from one of my groups. It's my daughter's favorite fragrance and her hubby thinks so too. I held the bottle up to them and they were in awe. The soap is now curing and every time they walk by, they take another moment with it. Thank you so much for hitting this out of the park! Performed perfecting in CP.
I make goat's milk CP soap and this fragrance is amazing! It soaps perfectly and does not accelerate or rice. I can stick blend the clay and scent in the batter with no issues. I love how strong and floral this scent is.
One of my favorite scents.. great hot and cold throw in my coconut- soy wax! A nice rich fragrance .. one of my better sellers.
So good. I mean... really good. I find it funny that men gravitate more towards this scent, but it's really deep and clean. Love it!
It smells amazing in a perfume roller and also with the MWFC room spray base!!
Love this! One of my best seller for both Men and Woman

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you! For candles, we recommend adding your fragrance to the melted wax when it’s at the correct temperature (usually around 185°F, but check your wax’s specs). Mix well, pour, and let the magic happen. For soap-making, our oils are perfect for melt-and-pour, cold process, or hot process soaps. Always follow recommended usage rates and do a small test batch to ensure everything works beautifully. Need more tips? Check out our resources—we love helping makers like you!
The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always checkIFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
