What does Kemi smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Slightly more voters call it masculine, though a good number find it feminine, so it sits between the two.

Cedar and Laotian oud set a woody base at the start. The heart brings gurjum balsam, civet, caramel and castoreum, where resinous, animal and leathery tones meet the sweetness. The base of woody notes, vanilla and sandalwood leaves a warm, gourmand dry-down.
