But yes, the statements mention strawberry and chocolate, and I wish we wouldn't cling to that too much. Sure, if you know it, then you smell it too. Then Aurum smells EXACTLY like the limited Ritter Sport Unicorn chocolate edition tastes. (I have one! HA HA!) But if you don't know what that tastes like, and very few people do, you approach the matter completely unprejudiced and suspect that Kemi certainly doesn't want to foist a mundane candy scent on us; Nope. Kemi / Al Kimiya wants your attention. And they want all of your attention. For days.
Never, and the emphasis is on 'never', right: on 'never', have I encountered such complex perfume compositions as those from Kemi. Folks, give them time. You can't just take a quick sniff and know what it's all about and where it's leading. And let's be honest, you never really know that in real life either, and that's, I think we can agree, actually quite good.
Aurum took forty-two attempts, I swear. And Aurum can be annoying, believe me (just like Jabir, but that's a different story). Aurum annoys and irritates for exactly four hours with that pesky chocolate-strawberry accord until I finally smell oud. Roses are there, but they don't want attention; the whole work comes together into a greater whole, the heavenly part appears in the heart base, as I said, after four hours. Hang in there, you can do it. And I bet THAT is their concept for all these overpowering scents. First, you have to be strong, wait, be patient and attentive, and then you will smell paradise. I promise.
