House of Matriarch Kazimi is a unisex scent that darkens rose with resin, oud and smoke, keeping floral and animal facets side by side; it suits autumn and winter evenings.

What does Kazimi smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also gets worn for leisure. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads open to either.

It opens with white gingerlily, Bourbon rose and rose attar. The heart is led by wild rose, white rose, rose otto and Virginia cedar, with greenheart wood adding a green edge. The base of oud, opoponax, ambergris and oakmoss sets a smoky, earthy ground, while hyraceum and exotic spices deepen it towards the animal and spicy.
