What does Kiraz (2021) smell like?

The top holds star anise, nectarine, Sicilian almond milk and Peruvian heliotrope, with fruit and almond leading and the anise adding a light spicy edge. In the heart, almond blossom, Bulgarian rose and Jasminum auriculatum bring a soft floral note. The base of amberwood, Indonesian sandalwood, tolu balm and Bourbon vanilla dries down sweet and creamy.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it neither disappears nor fills a room. Its sweet profile reads comfortably on any skin, with no clear lean to masculine or feminine. Perfumes with a close profile include Acqua di Parma Mandorlo di Sicilia and Van Cleef & Arpels Orchidée Vanille.
