What does Kemi smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters recommend it for fall and winter, and it is picked most often for evenings and nights out. Masculine leads the character votes, though feminine and modern votes are not far behind.

White oud and Atlas cedar give the top a woody start. In the heart, civet, castoreum and gurjum balsam add an animalic, spicy warmth. The base of Bourbon vanilla, Australian sandalwood and caramel softens it into a creamy, sweet oriental. Kemi Kemi and Kilian Intoxicated have a close profile.
