Apple-raspberry waffle with vanilla candy

If you've ever had vanilla candy, specifically the creamy White Rabbit candy wrapped in rice paper, imagine melting that and glazing it over a waffle with apple and raspberry jam. There's a glass of rum on the side for later. That's Kaya in a nutshell.

It opens with a blast of melting vanilla with hints of strawberry, but apple and raspberry dominate the fruitiness. After fifteen minutes, the booze creeps in. Strangely, the overall performance seems to get stronger after thirty minutes.

This is mouth-watering. There are some florals that fit very nicely, too. Kaya is a feminine-leaning fragrance for the colder seasons, but today, just at the start of summer, it's cold enough to wear. I've only worn this around five times since I bought it last winter but I really need to use it more often. I've really forgotten how good this is.

Gorgeous bottle with good performance. Kaya seemingly strengthens itself over the course of the first hour, becomes a skin scent by the third hour and stays on the skin throughout the day.

Kaya - The Feel-Good Aura

The scent has been with me for about two months now, and I have decided to give my first detailed review here due to its pleasant "feel-good aura." I particularly want to focus on the aspects that were most important to me when reading other reviews.

Bottle:
The bottle is very high-quality and solid.
The sprayer distributes the fragrance in a fine, even mist, unlike anything I have seen from any other brand so far. The gradient of the perfume also perfectly harmonizes with the scent - but more on that later.

Rating: 10 / 10
Scent Development:
Now to the heart of the matter, the scent itself.
Scent development? No, it can't really be defined as a development, as it behaves quite linearly in my eyes or rather in my nose ;)

A spray on the wrist, and after the brief opening of fresh bergamot and apple, a pleasant, floral-fruity sweetness is perceived.
I definitely smell the strawberry and raspberry, which, combined with the vanilla and floral notes, evoke almost gourmand memories of fresh waffles with fruity toppings.

After about 30 minutes, soft and unobtrusive woody notes and amber join in, perfectly rounding off the scent.

The result?
A pleasant feel-good aura that particularly unfolds its full effect in a cozy evening gathering.

Rating: 10/10
Longevity and Sillage:
Tested with five sprays

0-4 hours:
Room-filling, but always in a pleasant way.
4-8 hours:
Well noticeable, but significantly more subtle.
>8 hours:
Only close to the skin.

For me, there is still room for improvement, but due to the consistently pleasant aura, it is in the upper range.

Rating: 8/10
Compliments and Statements:
Let's be honest - everyone wonders how a scent affects others.

My experience?
Above-average positive feedback - whether in a cozy gathering with friends or at work.
The fact that my girlfriend was once complimented on the scent, even though I was wearing it, underscores the impressive sillage at the beginning, but also the slightly feminine direction that some have already described.
Personally, this doesn't bother me in the slightest - on the contrary, I enjoy the scent from the first to the last second.

Directly in Love

Right from the release, this bottle caught my eye, and the name seemed so lovely to me.
Of course, I had to test it quickly, along with the others from the brand that were released at the same time.
Kaya, however, put a smile on my face immediately after spraying.
So beautiful.

The scent is somehow not 100% definable. Very linear, which in this case is very good, but so soft and really, really well blended that I personally can't say exactly which fragrance category it belongs to.
I perceive a lot of tonka and also a bit of almond, which is not listed. The fruits in the opening I only perceive as a pleasant sweetness, but not exactly as apple, let alone raspberry. They only support the overall impression for me. I perceive the booze only minimally.
I find the beautiful Kaya to be feminine and soft, a true crowd-pleaser.
The brand definitely stands for quality. The scents are really rounded and don’t cling to the skin, they are super pleasant.

This delightful lady in a violet dress is a people pleaser, in the best sense :)
The silk dress that you want to eat.

Beautiful and strong parallels to one of my favorites

Kaya has completely convinced me.
I love this DNA, which I must admit feels very familiar. I briefly had to think until I stumbled upon my beloved Tonka Bodykon. Then I saw that this fragrance was classified as similar, and I can confirm that 100%.
Therefore, it was not difficult for me to like the Kaya from Parfums d'Elmar.

Like the Tonka Bodykon, the Kaya has a wonderful sweetness. A sweetness that is never too strong, but at the same time never too weak.
A contemplative, seductive sweetness that comes across as totally elegant and radiates a certain seriousness.

Additionally, the fragrance has this wonderfully creamy element and also has a great hint of rum. However, the rum never comes across as alcoholic. It simply gives the fragrance a great aroma or flair.

At the beginning, the Kaya is also slightly fruity. I must say, though, that this characteristic is relatively subtle in my opinion.
Here and there, a bit of apple can be caught, but after a few hours, I can no longer perceive it.

The super beautiful tonka bean that is already recognizable during the course becomes more intense towards the end. Along with that comes this amber-vanilla mix and the rum accord mentioned above, which has been used and crafted very well.

Admittedly, I cannot recognize the floral accords listed in the heart note in my sample at all.

For me, it is simply a wonderful gourmand in which all notes have been wonderfully processed, making everything feel coherent.

In terms of price, this fragrance is of course intense, but I just love this DNA. It captivates me.
Nevertheless, the 31 Tonka Bodykon by Pierre Guillaume would actually be the better alternative, as it essentially does the same thing and is also available at a lower price.
It costs less than the Kaya and also has a larger volume.

In terms of points, I give it a 9.5.
The Tonka Bodykon received a 10 from me back then, and in comparison, I find the Tonka slightly rounder towards the end.
But that's all a matter of taste, and there are only nuances that lie in between.

You can definitely give the Kaya a try. It simply smells super good!

Luck or not? I Kaya: a cozy, seductive scent with familiar DNA

One must give credit to Parfums D'Elmar: the bottles look absolutely stunning. True masterpieces, but as we know, it’s all about the content. Well, Kaya means luck, but does this name fit the content? The announcement promises a lot; it should be a seductive whirlwind of sweet fruits, enchanting flowers, and intoxicating notes.

Sounds very good, at least on paper. Let's get into it:

- The first spray was pure bliss. Yes, a vibrant fruity-fresh sweetness, zesty bergamot, and juicy apple are noticeable, but extremely well blended. Then comes the surprise guest on stage, the sweet raspberry, lively, sweet, and slightly fresh. Really great and intense opening. Yes, the scent triggered strong associations for me with "Layton | Parfums de Marly," not because they smell identical, as the fruitiness and sweetness in Kaya is much higher, but somehow I got a similar vibe, very similar even, unfortunately.

- The duet of floral white blooms actually represents the transition to the drydown; yes, I’ll keep it brief here, as this supposedly floral phase only plays a role in the background as a supporting actor, gently carrying the scent to the drydown. As it progresses, the fragrance then develops a nice warm sweetness thanks to the tonka bean, creating a truly sensual base together with the vanilla. The patchouli acts very marginally in the background, practically hardly noticeable to be honest; rum is a bit more present here, but still not overwhelming. Everything is really well blended and nothing really clashes; very nicely done, but somehow I feel that the scent loses me a bit in the drydown because it feels somewhat "too smooth" and the sillage gradually diminishes.

- The longevity is quite good, definitely above average, the sillage at the beginning is actually good, but the scent becomes quite close to the skin very quickly, at least for me.

When you see the ratings of 8.8, yes, I’ll leave that uncommented. Of course, a normal distribution is somewhat given with 118 reviews, but I find the rating a bit too high. I would give it between 7.8 to a maximum of 8.1. The Kaya is undoubtedly a beautiful scent, but for me personally, it lacks a bit of creativity and individuality. I just can’t shake off the associations with Layton and a few other fragrances, and these successful formulas have been nicely adopted and slightly reshaped in this scent, a bit fruitier at the start, a bit sweeter at the end, what the market wants today.

Therefore, definitely test it beforehand, as anyone expecting an olfactory masterpiece like Nefs due to the 8.8 rating will likely be disappointed, but the DNA is so pleasant that one can live well with the disappointment :)
