A little bit of everything...
This is my first time trying a fragrance from Greece. Korres is an "aromatherapy" company which specialises in "natural" and "chemical free" fragrances (great for vegans, vegetarians... and people with allergies and sensitivity to fragrance). This is their "unisex" creation, centred around Jasmine, Pepper and Guaiac wood.
So what does it smell like? Well, it's a complex one. I straight away get anise and citrus, but this fades away quickly. What I really get is what I can describe as a sweet, woody vibe throughout. The main combination is white chocolate and sandalwood, and they complement each other beautifully. The reason is because pure sandalwood has a very "creamy" aspect to it, and when combined with the chocolate gives it a very smooth, gourmand aspect. The guaiac wood is not a note that I get here very much, but the fragrance does have a slightly dry, woody aspect, so this may be the black pepper... and yes, I do get the jasmine, it is sitting around the edges of this fragrance, but always there, giving it a fresh lift-up. Passion fruit, combined with the pepper gives it a citric, but very faint acidic-fruity smell, and the peach completes the fragrant, fruity undertone. Overall it works great though. It's good stuff.
I think this is one that works best in the autumnal season, and also in the springtime. I have no problem with longevity here, this lasts over 6 hours on my skin. I think for the price and complexity of this fragrance you cannot really go wrong. It smells different to a lot of other stuff out there. Certainly unisex but in my opinion leaning slightly more feminine. Either way, a fantastic combination. Well done Greece! A good creation from a unique house.
