What does Kistna smell like?

Citrus leads: lemon and grapefruit give a bright start, while basil and birch leaf pull it towards a green, lightly spicy side. Cedarwood lays down a woody base and vanilla softens the edges. Aquatic and floral touches keep the whole thing clean and cool.

Most voters recommend spring and summer, and it is picked mostly for daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and stays quiet. Most voters read it as masculine, though many call it modern. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme and Carven L'Eau Intense have a close profile.
