Black Kappa 2020

... having just tested a manufacturer's sample, this fragrance really caught me by the nose. Although it is quite sweet. Now comes the but. The sweetness gradually recedes, but the cinnamon sneaks in, delicately powdery, rough and spicy, somehow even slightly spicy and sharp. Before it becomes "prickly", coriander joins in magically spicy, which later blends with the dark scent of violets to form an enchanting melange.
Although mint is listed as the "top note", it is only in the "middle" of the fragrance that it gains its full strength and combines with lavender and sage to form a "trio of herbs", giving the whole a unique ambience. Especially as cinnamon is always clearly present in its most beautiful form.
With some aromatic wood towards the end, a still-flowering violet joins in and some pepper then gives the necessary "pep". What can I say: Much better than I first thought... now scores even higher than before. An even 8 is quite appropriate..
Nice fragrance for spring, fall and winter.... :-))
