What does Kuru Kawa smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as strong, so a light hand may be enough. It is unisex and has a dense, earthy character that will appeal to oud lovers.

The top opens with cade juniper, black pepper and patchouli, while raspberry and blackcurrant soften that rough edge a little. In the heart, Turkish rose and Persian rose sit beside Papua oud and myrrh. The base of tonka bean, tobacco and cypriol settles into a dry, warm woodiness.
