Maternal Reinforcement for the Wild Teenager
The fragrance, which can either be a compliment magnet or the reason for a ban from the local shopping mall, has received a big sister - or as I actually find it more fitting: a mother.
The fact is: No one can match Tiziana Terenzi when it comes to packaging. The quality of the bottle itself has also been significantly improved; it is much heavier and closes beautifully this time.
But how does the fragrance smell now?
I think I can best illustrate this with a little metaphor:
Imagine Kirkè is a lively teenager who is totally curious and adventurous and knows how to make a splash. Kirkè wants to leave an impression, no matter what kind - as long as one remains memorable. If I had to describe it in colors, I would say: Kirkè is neon colors.
Kirkè overdose, on the other hand, is Kirkè's mother, who has gone through all those times and carries them within, but has now grown into a mature, radiant, mysterious, elegant adult. I would say: Kirkè overdose is pastel colors.
The two definitely have some similarities, but each also has its own signature.
The first thing I noticed is that Kirkè Overdose has much less fruit cocktail DNA and carries significantly less synthetic elements.
Accordingly, it is less shrill and piercing and somehow rounder and perhaps more pleasant for some noses.
We also have a bit more floral notes here with a delicate, understated rose note, which is listed instead of the pear in the opening, making it somehow a bit deeper (and possibly even more unisex). The fragrance also has a slightly resinous or lipstick-like quality.
Additionally, I must say: I didn’t really know how this sand note in the original smelled - now I know: in my opinion, it is a bit stronger here and makes the fragrance a little drier.
In the drydown, Kirkè Overdose then moves further and further away from the typical Kirkè DNA and leaves behind a slightly floral, dry but beautiful musk with sandalwood on the skin.
Overall, I feel that Kirkè Overdose hugs the skin a bit more and "connects" with the person wearing it rather than laying like a mask on the person. It simply feels a good deal more mature and "natural".
In this respect, Kirkè overdose is not necessarily an overdose of the original Kirkè DNA for me, but rather an overdose of luxury, elegance, style, and finesse.
Ultimately, both carry the Kirkè DNA within them, but in my opinion, they are different enough to own both or at least take a look at them.
And especially those for whom Kirkè is not quite right should perhaps still dare to try Kirkè Overdose, as it is simply a bit more "digestible" and doesn’t shout at you, but rather whispers in your ear.
Personally, I was and still am a big fan of the fruit-musk DNA in Kirkè, not least because it was my signature scent for a long time, associated with many memories and emotions. Accordingly, it simply holds a special place in my heart.
