Studio Scent

Kismet Olfactive · 2019

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Kismet Olfactive Studio Scent is a unisex fragrance that moves from a fresh, citrusy start into a smoky, resinous and earthy base. Bergamot keeps the opening light and bright, while Persian black tea, Turkish fig and lavender bring a green, fruity softness to the heart. In the base, amber, Palo Santo and oakmoss pull the scent towards a woody, creamy and slightly smoky finish. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close without filling a room. Its unisex profile suits everyday wear. Rasasi Hawas Black and Lattafa Pride Shaheen Silver have a close profile.

Saffron / September 2020

6.9

Scent Trunk · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Scent Trunk Saffron / September 2020 is a unisex fragrance led by saffron, cardamom and rose, sitting somewhere between fresh and sweet. Spicy saffron and cardamom sit alongside rose and metal, while patchouli and clary sage lay a woody, slightly green base. Tonka bean, vanilla, musk and lactone pull it towards a creamy, sweet side, and ozone adds freshness. The accords also carry a synthetic edge, and the whole stays on an oriental line. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though with few votes this is only a rough guide. It suits men and women alike. Rasasi Daarej pour Homme and Sakan The Palm have a close profile.

Wedding in Oaxaca

7.2

Kismet Olfactive · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Green

Kismet Olfactive Wedding in Oaxaca is a fresh, green floral that sets tuberose and gardenia on a creamy, lightly sweet base, and it wears as a unisex scent. Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters rate it fairly well, though with so few votes this is more a first impression than a firm verdict. Tuberose and gardenia carry the scent, while violet leaf and geranium add a cool, green edge. Coconut milk and musk bring a creamy softness, and sandalwood and vetiver give it a woody depth. Pink pepper and ginger leave a light touch of spice. Etro Udaipur and Xerjoff Save Me have a close profile.

The Poet

8.0

Kismet Olfactive · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Kismet Olfactive The Poet is a unisex scent that sets a fresh, citrusy brightness on a woody, resinous and creamy footing. Grapefruit gives the scent its crisp side, backed by green and aquatic accords. Beneath it, Atlas cedar, Indian sandalwood and patchouli form a woody frame. Omani frankincense and resins add depth, while tonka bean and ambrette bring a sweet, creamy softness. Casablanca lily adds a floral touch that rounds things out, and the spicy and slightly leathery tones stay in the background. The notes aren't split into layers, so the scent reads as one blend from start to finish. Anomalia Cérémonie and Amouage Decision have a close profile.

Tuberose Tantra

8.4

Kismet Olfactive

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Kismet Olfactive Tuberose Tantra is a unisex floral built around tuberose and jasmine sambac, with a fresh, green edge and a warm spicy note running through it. The flowers lead: tuberose and jasmine sambac form the core, and the creamy, powdery accords soften them. Black pepper and ginger add a light spice, while the citrus and green accords keep it bright. Sandalwood and patchouli sit underneath as a quiet woody base, and a sweet, slightly synthetic tone rounds it out. Hermès Twilly d'Hermès (Eau de Parfum) and Gucci Bloom Intense have a close profile.

Nostalgia

8.3

Kismet Olfactive · 2018

Fresh · Floral · Green

Kismet Olfactive Nostalgia is a unisex scent that sets saffron and leather inside a green, floral and spicy frame. The notes read as one whole: saffron and aniseed give a spicy warmth, while leather and suede lay a leathery base beneath them. May rose adds a fresh floral side and nagarmotha brings an earthy, green tone; tonka bean sweetens and softens the picture a little. Among the accords, woody, resinous and oriental tones come forward, with fruity and synthetic touches staying in the background. Voters rate it 8.3 out of 10. Michele Bianchi Oud 2.0 and Kanchaveli White have a close profile.
