Top men's fragrance from the drugstore that flies under the radar.
This fragrance combines fresh and spicy notes into a top men's scent.
I've received many positive reactions and have been approached about it.
The fresh spicy note lasts a long time, which I really like. Fragrances generally last very well and long on me, just like this one.
The mate gives it a different twist compared to conventional mainstream fragrances.
Definitely under the radar among the many scents and one of my favorites for autumn/late summer.
Good spray with a good amount and misting.

Mysterious?!
Annayake Kimitsu. What sounds and means mysterious quickly smells very clear as soon as it has left its typically Annayake bottle?!
Sweet-citrusy! But then a slight, unobtrusive sharpness of pepper, followed by a soft spicy woody note.
Very reserved and modest, Kimitsu for him presents itself. The linear progression of the scent is also calm, yet everyone takes a second sniff when wearing it.

What makes it special? Is Kimitsu perhaps mysterious after all?
The sharpness of the pepper and the hint of mate give this citrus-spicy scent the finishing touch for me.
It doesn’t last long, the sillage is subtle, yet something remains, yes, there is something mysterious!
The scent doesn’t clash anywhere and doesn’t cause a WOW moment, yet it represents a great companion for cozy autumn and spring days, whether at work, in leisure, or in the evening with friends. As soon as the pulse rises and the sweat flows, the mysterious one is gone, that’s not his style.

Acqua di Giappone
Kimitsu for Him is lemony-sweet, fresh, and spicy-aromatic. It spontaneously reminds me of Acqua di Parma Colonia. Like that one, Kimitsu presents itself as distinguished and elegant, not loud or brash. It is therefore more of a fragrance for the more reserved personality. However, I have not tested the two in parallel. I write about AdP Colonia from memory; it might also be the Essenza or Assoluta variant that comes to mind as a reference.

Although labeled as a men's fragrance, Kimitsu for Him can also be worn well by women. In my estimation, it is a unisex fragrance.

Kimitsu is not a specific summer scent despite the lemony note. The sweet spice gives it warmth. One can wear it year-round; however, it is probably better suited for daytime than evening. Kimitsu would likely fit best in spring.

Significantly cheaper than the product from the Italian niche house, regardless of the variant, the Japanese fragrance is; around half the price of the turquoise ones. I estimate the longevity and sillage as medium; so there is no difference here compared to AdP.

Well and affordably copied, Annayaké!

Subtle, citrusy - woody - spicy - synthetic. Suitable for both men and women, everyday wear. Nothing new, but I like it.

Fresh-spicy blue scent with a peppery opening & a gentle tea accord as it develops.
Pleasant everyday fragrance with moderate sillage.

Distinct pepper note. Well aromatic. But also fresh, lively, softly greenish light-woody. Almost sporty.

I like! The references to AdP make sense; quite a linear progression - everything is there from the start; mate makes it special.

A bit of pepper, a bit of wood, subtly Japanese. Related to Omiyage from the same house, especially after a few hours. Great longevity.

Citrusy with a smoky, woody, spicy mate and a hint of tea. Subtle and faint, yet still pleasant.

Citrusy and peppery in the opening.
Spiced mate.
Towards the end, the scent and quality weaken a bit.
It has the character of a cologne.

Consistently pleasant.
Fresh, floral, fruity, and herbaceous. Very unobtrusive!
Like after a bath in pure water with a few flower petals.

The sample packaging says "Bergamot, Cardamom, Vetiver," which describes the scent better than the listed ingredients. Solid fragrance.

Club Mate with a splash of lemon. Not bad for summer. Sillage is below average. Definitely not enough for a night out.
