San Diego Magazine, 1999:

"LALIQUE. Le Baiser (The Kiss). Like the moment when lips first meet, Le Baiser's top notes - gardenia, violet and blackcurrant - are a thrilling hint of the pleasure to follow. The Scent unfolds with the heart of the fragrance, which features Moroccan Rose, Indian Jasmine and Jamaican Pimento. End notes of amber, Indian sandalwood and musk linger seductively, like the impression of a memorable kiss."

Officiel de la couture et de la mode de Paris, 1999:

"Le Baiser de Lalique is also gardenia (making this winter a comeback) with a hint of blackcurrant and violet, rose and jasmine has, amber and musk. As a romantic and tender kiss exchanged behind the veil of crystal bottle with a set of thorns recalls that it is perhaps not entirely innocent."

Bottle:

The bottle was designed by Marie-Claude Lalique. It was inspired by an image on a 1913 bottle designed by Rene Lalique for the Coty perfume l'Entraîment. One side portrays a Greek youth and his lover, on one side walking and on the other side, the lovers leaning in for a kiss. It was this beautiful kiss that was reproduced for the Le Baiser perfume flacon. The 1913 perfume bottle is directly inspired by the "Le Baiser" brooch , which Rene Lalique created around 1904.
