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.

I don't like it. Received it as a gift from a person who was fond of Climat. I find it too old-fshioned, sharp and screechy. Although, my mother who is Russian and in her sixties, gladly apreciated it not only because of memories, but she liked the smell actually. She finds it smelling a lot like lilly-of-the-valley.

Nose Note #386 A very bad take on Chanel #19 - it opens in a similar fashion, but then develops into a very agressibe soap-coriander bomb. I must admit that it's an interesting niche-like experience, but it's not wearable...

Very green fragrance. I guess the leading notes are coriander and oakmoss. Strange that there is no neroli. I don't like it. Too oldfashioned.

I bought this from Russia, via Ebay, as people claimed it was like Climat. I had the original Climat, back in the mists of time, and I remember it well. I am disappointed to find that this perfume is nothing like Climat - at all. Climat was so fresh, like narcissus - it made you feel as if it was springtime, Easter. However, Zunetsky Most Nouvelle Etoile is quite a heavy perfume. It is not unpleasant. Has a feel of the 1930s or 1940s, not that I remember those. Definitely evocative of Russia. Also resembles Coty L'Aimant.

I have bought it in Moscow at a novaja zarja boutique shop next to the museum of oriental art as a much praised cheaper version of the classic Climat. Deep, velvety and soapy aroma, however on me it's a stranger, i feel like i am trying another personality on which is just too serious and predictable for me. Gave it to my mother-in-law who likes this kind, hope she will enjoy.

I know it's supposed to be a copy of Climat, made when they still bothered at least to give another name to a copy, but it's resolutely cheap: it's cheaply made, bottle looks cheap and scent is also cheap. I really don't understand how they can produce classics like Krasnyj Mak ili Krasnaya Mosva, and next to them those cheap rip offs, but I suppose everything finds a buyer.

This is some intense stuff!!! I think it was created with Lancome`s Climat in mind, and the result is a rather more sweet approach on Climat.The base, however, spoils it for me. It is bland and boring, and has a cheap feeling to it.The staying power is so-so - may be 3 hours at best.

if someone would like to find the closest clone of Magie Noir by this brand, then it would be better to try Tete-a-tete,not Magic Night ( as well as KM is closer to Climat than Clima by NZ)

Just bought it today....not quite what I thought it would be, but it seems to be growing on me...I can see where this fragrance would not be for everybody...this baby boomer has no regrets

I absolutely agree with Malegria - the base is too plain and boring. For me it' s the scent of medical institutions, where everything around is so sterile, clear and annoying in some way.
