THE WAY YOU KISS ME

The Way You Kiss Me is the extrait de parfum created by Sofia Bardelli for Devertere, launched in 2025: a unisex oriental vanilla fragrance that turns the comfort of a sweet breakfast into adult seduction.

The Fragrance

The Way You Kiss Me plays on a precise mechanism: notes of milk and sugar reassure you immediately, evoking something soft and childlike. Underneath that comforting surface, though, hides a dark, carnal base of musk and oud — the composition shifts toward a far more adult register than the first impression suggests. It's a fragrance built specifically to make you drop your guard.

How It Wears on Skin

In the first minutes it's all almond milk, oat cream and caramel — an opening that feels like it came out of breakfast, not a perfume boutique. After about half an hour, peach frappé and cotton candy arrive, the most indulgent moment in the whole evolution, with saffron and cashmere wood adding structure. From there, the base of amber, benzoin, vanilla, tonka bean, musk, patchouli, oud and sandalwood slowly takes over, and opinions split here: many describe it as a creamy sweetness that never tires, others find it more discreet and fleeting than you'd expect from an extrait.

Who We Recommend The Way You Kiss Me For

Suited to those who love creamy gourmands but want a darker, more grown-up base instead of straightforward sugar. Given its intimate, close-to-skin nature, it works well for everyday wear up close, more than for settings that call for a strong trail.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Take

Milk, oats, cotton candy. On paper it sounds like a fragrance for children. Then the base arrives. Musk, oud, patchouli — and it stops being breakfast. We're not sure if it's genius or just a well-played trick. Maybe both.
