Kashâya de Kenzo Kenzo 1994

"Kashâja" smells just as it is promised in the pyramid.
I bought an unopened new vintage mini because I was curious about an older fragrance from Kenzo.
"Kashâja" starts with a brief, somewhat nondescript opening. Sweet and fruity, it indeed smells and tastes like apricot with mandarin when you crush them together.
Immediately following is a temporarily somewhat stinky jasmine, which obediently submits to the gardenia with tuberose shortly thereafter. This mixture is muted, pleasant, and has little projection.
Then comes a phase that smells somewhat sharp, like acetone to coumarin, before transforming into a light green. Unfortunately, the gardenia and tuberose become musty for a while.
But the somewhat stale scent transforms into a rich and soft cream smell. The vanilla makes "Kashâja" somewhat gourmand. A hint of resinousness and musk with shallow sandalwood allows the fragrance to fade subtly and inconsequentially. "Kashâja" is by no means a transparent and very light fragrance; it is too creamy for that.
The final phase remains close to the skin for an extended period. Of course, this is a purely feminine fragrance.
