Il Bacio by Princess Marcella Borghèse: launched in 1993. The name means "The Kiss" in Italian. Created by Givaudan Roure.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a fresh fruity-floral fragrance for women. The heady anticipation of citrus, freesia, sweet honeysuckle, jasmine and exotic orchid meet in a fruity floral profusion of juicy melon, plum, orchid and succulent peach against soft woodsy notes. Capturing that moment when two lips are poised on the brink of change. Made with natural essences, Il Bacio caresses the skin...lingers on the senses.
The bottle was designed by Marc Rosen.
From Marc Rosen & Associates:
Unfortunately, Il Bacio has suffered from reformulation and many of the ingredients present in the original are now lost to time and no longer appear in the new formula - most notably: bergamot, lemon, mandarin, cassis, osmanthus, pear, cyclamen, cattleya orchid, orris, and violet leaves.

From Marc Rosen & Associates:
"Creative Challenge: How do you capture the spirit of a ‘kiss’? Metaphorically, of course. In our research we came across an ancient piece of Etruscan jewelry — a love-knot — which became the symbol (stopper) of this uniquely Italian fragrance. All design elements link back to Italy, and it’s rich design heritage. Special attention was paid to glass distribution to create a truly premium experience."
