A Midsummer Daydream
At this fragrance, the spirits are divided - pleasing-belonging or unique, difficult or uncomplicated, exhausting or beautiful, lukewarm breeze or long-lasting ...
Well, I can probably consider myself lucky that I belong to the "I love it" faction. The perfume was namely a blindbay and my expectations were exceeded. The fragrance arrived with me exactly as promised in the advertising text - sensual, sweet, warm. I admit - that sounds trite and certainly there are 186547 fragrances in the whole wide world that fit that description. But this 57th formula of Kayali fragrance must have stirred together right ingredients in right proportion - all the lush white flowers, all the sugary fruits, all the warm woods along with spices - and reached my heart and nose.
This white flower fragrance represents for me a very successful meeting of the Orient and the Occident. For fruity and floral fragrance notes, Mona Kattan, the Kayali founder, together with the team of Firmenich has chosen decidedly sweet, honeyed representatives, which are also common in Western florals, but here come across as soft and smooth - probably thanks to the exquisitely beautiful base, consisting of crystallized patchouli, velvety cashmeran, warm sandalwood and floral Tahitian vanilla. It is perhaps thanks to this base that the fragrance - at least to me - seems very dense, full-bodied and round. Even in the fade he does not forfeit this quality, which I found so disappointing in many previously tested floral fragrances - they either evaporate without a sound or leave a soapy pungent note.
Here, the scent envelops me as if I were lingering in a lush blooming garden on a mid-summer afternoon when the air seems to shimmer and vibrate - with heat, aromas, the buzz of bees. This shimmering warming aura lasts all day and leaves me in the evening with a palpable hint of soft floral sweetness. At no point is the scent too heavy, too sticky, too penetrating for me - yes, obviously I'm a lucky guy in this regard:) But I can imagine that if you were looking for a light-footed floral scent, ephemeral like a fleeting dream or a pale memory (which the perfume name certainly suggests), you may be disappointed. Indeed, the fragrance is already quite expressive and the "Deja Vu" effect here means rather that faded memories are brought to new life.
The durability and sillage are consequently very good with me, which is actually to be expected: in the fragrance, a very high perfume oil concentration of 25% is indicated (also due to the oriental influences).
The bottle is possibly too kitschy for some eyes, I find it quite appealing. Positive to highlight would be the sprayer, which allows the perfume to be dosed sparingly and finely to avoid the overload.
So if you are looking for a sweet warm white flower fragrance with oriental hints and are not put off by the influencer brand image, you may be right here. At least with me it was the fulfillment of summer daydreams.
