À bland scent that disappears immediately. This makes me lose respect for the brand. It would be too expensive even if it were three times cheaper, so as it stands it's a joke. Do they test their perfumes? They have two decent ones, Musc Amber Gris and Cuir Cúrcuma, but this one is a total dud.

For 25 euros, I got this banger, which, if you told me it was by Dusita and cost 250 euros, for example, I'd totally believe it. Wonderful! It rectifies the screeching, cheesey, aldehydic nightmare of Cabochard, rendering the same concept as a delicate but tenacious shimmering haze of leather, rose and citrus. It reminds me of Shalimar without the vanillic sweetness, perhaps the Philtre de Parfum without the sweetness and with a gentle leather reintroduced. The floral element is beautifully crafted and reminds me of Dusita's green florals, though toned down skank-wise. That's not to say there's no animalic edge, there is, but its Guerlain-like in it's sheerness and beauty. This is a unique masterpiece, in my opinion.

The strongest note coming off my skin is mimosa! It reminds me of Une Fleur de Cassie. Lovely perfume. I recently discovered this and Melograno in short succession, both of which made me reassess my hatred of aldehydes. This has a sort of musty, funky floral thing which, with the soapy sparkle is just magical, and magical in that special Chanel way. I have, and love Coromandel, although I find it pretty unsuitable for most situations, and Le Lion, which is spectacular too, but Cuir de Russie is the easiest to wear of the three. It does warrant mentioning that I have to reapply this throughout the day, unlike the other two, which says a lot about the performance. Personally I don't mind as I don't wear it often so the huge bottle will last a lifetime, but it sure is expensive considering this fast dissipation. Update: it gives me old, forgotten, wistful vibes, sort of like flowers in an old library, or perhaps Mrs Haversham surrounded by old tomes, not having left the library for several days, wearing a little leather pouch filled with dried flowers and twigs to mask the stagnant air. It's an incredibly complex and breathtaking perfume where no note stands out but every note plays its part creating way more than their sum total, a bouquet of dusty old flowers which once trumpeted their scents proudly but now sit in a murky corner with just a ray or two of sunlight flitting over their petals, showing their colour, and the fact that they're not dead, they're just still, dormant. There's an old pipe lying there too with some dregs of tobacco inside, and a dried banana skin on a plate, long-forgotten, and so only the faintest odour remains.

Watered-down Beach Hut Man, 0% oud. Not bad but not remarkable.

Synthetic oud bumhole pong (not a problem for me) with delicate rose and some sort of pissy índole reminding me of narcissus or chamomile. It's sort of like Oud Silk Mood without the clinically pristine facet and with a more realistic seeming barnyard oud accord and a more spicy zesty shimmer from the ginger and olibanum I guess. It's nice but these scents are ten a penny. Or perhaps ten a grand. Update: the drydown gets aggressive and scratchy. It's too much, which I guess is in keeping with the brand. If you like fragrances that scream and choke people out, this is right up there.

As with all of Kurkdjian's pretty florals and freshies, there's an overdose of some sort of scratchy musk or woody amber. Same as the MFK Aqua line.

Love this! I got it for like 2 euros and it's a lovely spicy classic scent, and doesn't smell remotely cheap, and the deodorant is delicious, it amps up the spices with cinnamon and cumin.

Musky lemon very similar to the plethora of musky lemon Kurkdjian scents. Not bad but not special, also extremely light and fleeting.
