Leather, Narcissus, and Incense in a Lower Register

I feel fortunate, because on my skin this fragrance unfolds primarily as leather and narcissus.
Not a loud floral composition, but a tactile one.

The leather I perceive here is castoreum-leaning: musky, slightly tarred, supple rather than raw, with a faint phenolic edge. This animalic undercurrent anchors the composition and keeps it from drifting into sweetness.

The florals here for me are led by narcissus with a slightly indolic nuance. They do not bloom as a bouquet, nor do they dominate; instead, they hover close to the skin, lending a subtle human warmth rather than overt floral drama.

The sandalwood deserves special mention. For me it is neither creamy nor “salty”, but dry, spicy, and gently smoky, reminiscent of incense burning in an Eastern temple.

Yes, there are retro echoes in the structure, but I would hesitate to call this fragrance overtly vintage or “floral soap”. It lacks the cosmetic floral volume and operatic projection typically associated with that category. For this reason, comparisons to bold and loud floral bouquets such as Chloé Narcisse feel misplaced. Kamasurabhi speaks in a lower register: intimate, textural, and composed, with its focus on leather and spices.

Blind Test #9: A Golden Kaftan.

Do you know those days, usually sunny or holiday days? You sleep in, after a hearty breakfast that, due to the advanced hour, could more aptly be called brunch, you want to dive into your current project with enthusiasm (for me, it's currently Magic Cleaning using the KonMari method), when suddenly, out of nowhere, a dull blow lands on your head: Bam! I feel overwhelmed, unwell, my head hurts, my body feels heavy, and so do my thoughts.

“Take it down a notch,” whispers my inner voice. Where has the driver gone, the one who usually has everything under control: household chores, cleaning, cooking, and everything else that one tends to postpone and feels bad about? “Sit down, have a tea, and test some perfume, nice and relaxed today, no rush, no hustle, no stress.”

Thank you, dear inner voice, today will be a relaxation day, taking a breather, of course with perfume.

I rummage through my colorful blind test sample box, which has thankfully emptied a bit over the last two weeks but still houses about 30 samples:

Dear B., your sample 1 is supposed to delight me today. I find the sample and the corresponding answer envelope and spray it on right away, as the vial is sealed and gives no glimpse of the contents inside.

Wow, Arabian sandalwood hits me directly, without warning. After the initial shock, I perceive creamier and slightly fruity notes, a minimal herbal freshness. The scent is densely woven, amber-colored; it’s hard to identify individual notes, everything flows together. Here’s a leathery hint that disappears again, fleeting notes I can’t grasp, herbs swirling around, a slight hint of valerian, is that patchouli? And all of this forms a harmonious whole. A golden kaftan.

After the initial overload, to my surprise, a rather delicate scent has spread, lightly enveloping the skin as if it were hovering a few millimeters above it. A fragrance with a subtly Arabic-spicy touch that doesn’t overwhelm the olfactory cells.
I have to hold myself back from peeking right away; I want to keep the scent on my skin for at least two hours before I reveal it.

But even after some time, my nose cannot decipher any ingredients, except for the creamy sandalwood, which is carried and supported by all the other notes.

Timeless, unisex.

It’s not a scent I would wear myself; I’m too much at odds with the creamy wood, and I also suspect a tiny trace of Javanol is present (my absolute nemesis), as it comes across so prominently, even though it seems very soft and cuddly here.

So I reveal it and am relieved that I correctly identified parts of the base.

Italian-Classical + Indian-Opulent

This fragrance is all about craftsmanship, abundance, enjoyment, and opulence.
Before I describe this wonderful scent, I would like to say a few words about the perfumer.
Signor Villoresi, a trained philosopher, is a true Florentine. He owns a palazzo there that has been in his family for generations and is connected with numerous Florentine artisans. He sees himself as one of them. As a perfumer, he is self-taught. The homepage describes the palazzo in wonderfully flowery language. The maestro's atelier, where he works on his scents shielded from the noise of the city, overlooks the rooftops of Florence and the Arno...
A living room with large windows and a spectacular view of the city, where he interacts with visitors. There is a piano and a portrait of his grandmother
( surely painted...), looking more or less benevolently at the visitors...
The enterprising perfumer has more visions he is currently working on. An academy, a meeting place for all fragrance enthusiasts. Workshops on the subject are to take place there, and there will be a garden where visitors can watch perfume raw materials bloom, grow, and thrive. A fragrance museum is also in the planning stages. Additionally, Signor Villoresi has published several books on the subject of perfume.
All of this is quite exciting and possibly worth a closer look.
Just like the beautiful, albeit crowded Florence, where art and history can be admired at every corner. And just like this city, the special, beautiful perfume, Kamasurabhi, is somewhat old-fashioned, out of time. But one could also say timeless.
The word Kamasurabhi comes from Sanskrit and means something like "scent of enjoyment and joy."
The perfumer was inspired to create this fragrance, as you might guess: by a trip to India.
How does a Florentine translate his colorful impressions from such a journey into fragrance? Colorful yet classic. I will try to describe that.
Already at the first sniff of the sample, I am taken with it...., it smells good! It smells like a really good herbal, floral, and especially at the beginning, also rose soap. The kind that not only cleans but in whose noble, creamy foam one can truly indulge. It reminds me of the good, handmade soaps that can be found at artisan markets. Where nothing is cheaply cobbled together and good oils and fragrance oils are used.
A cheerfully opulent, unsentimental floral scent, soapy, slightly bitter, and at the same time beautifully full and round. In the background, fragrance number two is already faintly perceptible, into which the initial scent gradually transforms. At the moment, it is simply noticeable as a light, somewhat "greasy" leather note. This "lots of floral soap - little leather mix" holds on for quite a while. And yes, a dark-eyed, Indian beauty with flowing black hair and a colorful sari would wear it well. Well, what is good for Indian princesses can't be wrong for fair-skinned European women either.
The rich, full-bodied (actually full-nosed) floral kaleidoscope slowly, slowly fades into the background over hours.
Later, one primarily smells creamy sweet, warm, fatty ylang-ylang flower with the same sandalwood and a bit of light leather added. This combination is absolutely enchanting.
Anyway, an Indian fragrance must probably be colorful and opulent, drawing from the abundance and a little bit of muff can certainly be included.
The classic, timeless, perhaps somewhat antiquated aspect of this perfume is likely the Florentine part of the creation.
This fragrance has definitely captivated me, and I already have a hunch about what I might wish for Christmas. I would actually prefer to pick up the perfume myself in Florence, in this advertising-worthy, legendary, fairy-tale palazzo of the Villoresis
(there is of course still room for a retail space there!). One is allowed to dream. And I would, if the opportunity arises, conspiratorially wink at the venerable portrait of the grandmother ;-)

69er at the Indian Buffet

However you take the name & my title,
this scent & I were actually geared for trouble.

I probably like sandalwood the least of all the woods,
only jasmine & tuberose in their pride top that antipathy.

But look, we didn't end up in a quarrel,
is my nose perhaps out of whack?

Whether Kamasutra, kohlrabi, or the summer of love,
"Kamusarabhi" is peaceful, rarely delivers a hit.

Most human-like are the sweaty flowers,
but its creaminess lets the flower power rage gently.

I thought I was at the buffet, with curry & chili,
only to be embraced right away, like Annemie by Willi.

If your name is John Lennon or Ono, the scent might fit,
but today’s youth should probably keep their little fingers off it, despite the retro.

A creamy exotic, mild & warm,
Dreads & bra-free, its pacifist swarm roams around.

Prejudices & head cinema aside,
not that it’s said I’m spreading stereotypes here.

Creamy-powdery seems to be a trademark of the Italian company,
that’s known from Paris to Burma by now.

Hard to categorize, the scent dances around the fire,
I still don’t fully trust it.

Bottle: Yellow & red fits. The bottle itself is anti-spectacle.
Sillage: noticeable, then quickly diminishing.
Longevity: solid 6 hours through & through.

Conclusion: all my enemies gather in the lake, flowers in the water, noses in the air. A hippie in facelift & still no fake. Sandalwood meets warm flowers - floriental in a pleasant way.
