Jãbir Kemi 2014

I hate many floral notes, which makes it very difficult for me to enjoy floral fragrances. Time and again, I venture towards some, find some well-made, but none truly "beautiful." Jãbir surprises me right from the start. It is by no means a scent that overwhelms you with meaty and heavy horror flowers, thick and opulent; cloying. No; it feels fresh and soft. The flowers are wonderfully delicate, like on a summer meadow. Jãbir really evokes this association for me. A true summer fragrance. It smells of fresh nature, fresh flowers - of life. The birds are singing, the bumblebees are dancing around - wonderful. Here, the oud has been used very gently. It gives the fragrance a natural quality, enhances the impression of a summer meadow, perhaps adds natural, even fruity aspects, and the normally sweaty facets underline the brightness of the scent without being distinctly noticeable. Over time, the fragrance becomes a bit sweeter, but still not heavy. Perhaps it is sweet linden blossoms that can now be smelled; or a hint of beeswax.

Jãbir is for me a walk through a summer meadow. Joy of life, lightness. The scent is rather feminine, but not as extreme as expected. I think it is more unisex than many other floral fragrances and for me one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, that I know.
