Кузнецкий мост (Kuznetsky Most)

Those looking for a dupe of Climat would be just as well to buy Clima instead ( best "homage" out there imho). This is similar though and bears more than a passing resemblance to Magie, Rive Gauche, No19 , Calandre and others of that ilk. Good company to be in ! This brand really did make some smashing fragrances and gives a taste of what some of those vintage classics were in their heydays.

Lovely one. I've had this for many years now, but only recently had the balls to pull it off (or matured for it). Back then when I bought it I wanted something completely different from the perfumes that I owned at that time, I wanted to be rebellious with my clothes and perfume. I agree to the comparisons with climat, but as I have only tested the new version of climat, I'd say climat is more wearable and versalite an somewhat more bright and cheerful, yet this baby has some more dangerous attitude, it's more of a melancholic femme fatale. It's very dry powdery and mossy. I think this should be worn outdoors in cold weather as a light mist on a warm coat together with a hat and leather gloves, for a solitary stroll in a misty weather. And I think this smells better on clothes than on skin, because all NZ perfumes (though I have a lot of them now and love them dearly) have a problem with their dry down. And they smell best as a light mist on clothes. Edit: LOL Saintkitty wrote about the coat and hat too :) what a coincidence

I bought this directly from an eBay seller in Moscow, but whilst searching for it on eBay I noted so many different bottles and packaging so I don’t know if I am reviewing the identical fragrance reviewed here. This is definitely a Climat dupe, although the opening started off a little fresher, I thought zesty citrus. After that, it settled into that sparkling Climat like accord. I really like it, it’s linear, whereas Lancôme’s Climat does evolve on the skin. I saw a few people thought it was cheap smelling, I didn’t find it so. Also it has ridiculous lasting power, and I suspect you couldn’t get a fragrance to linger as long as this one did without having some quality ingredients. I particularly like the fresh green and oakmoss I am getting from it.

In the very beginning Kuznetsky Most is very specific, green and tonic. But then it becomes quiet and stretch out like a cigarette fume. Little bit bitter tobacco, little bit grass and little bit modest flowers. Right fragrance to wear it for your evening walk in elegant coat and hat. A handsome stranger will surly get to know you!

I have no idea how smells Climat (I did not get those times). But definately the fragrance of Kuznetsky most Nouvelle reminds me quite a lot something from Guerlain like "Samsara" or "Shalimar", or both of them. Also slightly reminds Chanel 19. Definately well-sounding classical direction, not too heavy, just as it is supposed to be for modern times. Vintage vibe still there is. Great price value for the product like that.
