Shower Gel Scent All-Rounder for Autumn and Winter

The fashion label Karl Kani is known for its streetwear and rose to fame in the 1990s - supported by Tupac Shakur and other rap and hip-hop icons. This year, Amber Sunset has been released for him, one of a total of eight fragrances - three for her and five for him.

The heavy bottle, in a well-proportioned rounded block shape, is colorless this time. With the light golden juice and the pale reddish-brown glass bottom and cap, there is a nice association with a sunset in terms of colors. Unfortunately, the cap is, as always, made of lightweight plastic, and the glass bottom is only coated with paint. Quality is different.
Fortunately, the bottles feature a subtle Kani logo ... which is mostly not the case with the clothing (I’m not really into logos in fashion; I just don’t want to be a bleating billboard ...).
Just as the clothing is (comparatively) inexpensive, so is the bottle ... now, onto the content:

I have three fragrances from Karl Kani and believe I can recognize a KK typology ... unfortunately, I don’t like it much, as it is somewhat biting, aquatic, shower gel-like ... that’s fine for a shower gel, but not for a fragrance in my opinion.
I really like a well-groomed scent - smelling permanently washed, showered, but not almost piercingly like laundry detergent.

Regardless, Amber Sunset is by far the most pleasant scent from KK for me so far, as here the shower gel is warm, soft, and sweetly packaged, in contrast to the fresh-green New York City Goals, which has an aquatic aftershave vibe. I don’t even want to talk about the synthetically dull Brooklyn Nights (what is aquatic-fresh about that?).
Thus, Amber Sunset is my KK fragrance No. 1 and fundamentally a suitable all-rounder for autumn and winter.

However, if one has a larger selection of fragrances - which seems to be the case for some perfume enthusiasts - there will be (one or another) alternative that one may like more or less for whatever reason.
Conclusion: You can do it, but you don’t have to.

Maybe I should try fashion - of course without oversized logos - ... but at over 60, there’s really only a hoodie with matching pants left. ;-)
