And suddenly musk and jasmine greet you
Once again, this is a scent I know. No, I hadn't tested this one before, but it bears resemblance to so many beautiful scents that I love, own, and in some cases would have been a hair's breadth away from buying. Kayali Musk | 12 I will probably have to buy. I'm currently still wavering between a 9 and a 10. It has so much that completely enchants me. And it's an absolute Polly scent.
The previous speaker, Scentilicious, mentioned Byredo's Bal d'Afrique, which I have and love. Bal d'Afrique definitely has that lovely cream note from Kayali's Musk 12 too. And yes, I also understand everyone who absolutely can't handle that note. In fact, I've only experienced it myself, because this is a note that can be yikes on one person and completely yikes on another. Recently, dear Susan visited me and sprayed this very Bal d'Afrique on herself. On myself, it's a vetiver cream dream, delicate and playful, but on her I smelled cleaner. Aggressive cleanser. Some of it really nasty. Yes, since then it is clear to me, why this component can mercilessly strike in both directions and polarizes so.
This component also has Velvet Orchid by Birkholz, which was the first thing I thought of when Kayali Musk | 12 came under my nose. Yes, here we have some similarities, which also confirms a look at the notes. Because Velvet Orchid, unlike Bal d'Afrique, is designed to be less fresh and more floral. The jasmine note dominates in the center, and it is precisely this jasmine that is also quite typical of Kayali. If the musk is added, which, in contrast to some of the previous speakers, I do not find animalic, but simply clean and above all creamy, we have EXACTLY this typical component, which I love so much, but which can also get on the nerves of other fragrance lovers. Of all three perfumes, this component is most prominent here. We have a musky scent dominated by jasmine with a soft woody base. Very pure, very cream-like, but just with a certain power.
With all these fragrances, especially the Kayali, I keep reading, no sillage whatsoever, no longevity whatsoever. And there I must contradict. Because these fragrances are indeed very intense and especially persistent. On clothes I wore when I was also wearing one of these fragrances, the scent lasts for days and even weeks. Especially with the jackets I notice that, because suddenly there is - whoops - on my wrists suddenly another scent, no longer the one from the morning, but there suddenly greet musk and jasmine. My husband, who is not necessarily known for such a sensitive nose, feels these perfumes as strong and that wants to mean what.
And now I'll bring in another one, which Kayali Musk 12 reminds me of, but which I don't own because it's not quite enough. And that is - drum roll - Aubade. Aubade also has that delicate, creamy, irresistible musk that makes me think of innocence paired with sensuality. Groomed and erotic. Is that okay? I think it is. If you're the type for that kind of scent. The Aubade was ruled out because, unlike the others, it doesn't have that jasmine component. And that's what I need to become completely weak, give in and start ordering uncontrollably. I recommend the Aubade to those who can't handle Kayali, the African ball and the orchid from Berlin. Maybe the nasty scent development on the skin then also remains.
Now I have masses of confused stuff texted and go me first collect. That happens times, if one has fallen in love violently and is still quite overworked at the same time. So sorry.
The dear Licorice I thank you very much for the sweet little mini, which will probably be empty in no time and must make way for a large bottle.
