Kid Mohair

I'll tell you EXACTLY what it reminds me of. Caress Love Forever body wash. They're practically identical - at least on my skin. It's not an offensive scent by any stretch, but not worth the sticker.

I've been looking forward to sampling "Kid Mohair" for a long time. I've requested the sample as extra for I think 4 fragrance purchases, but I've always received some of the 'other choices' i put on the list. 2 weeks ago I finally got a sample of "Kid Mohair" and today was the day I applied it, the notes sounded so interesting. I can't help feeling extremely dissapointed. First, "Kid Mohair" is not 'perfumery' at all, it smells like...fruit shampoo! And a very weak one. For the price tag it's almost funny that you get a perfume that you apply and you're left smelling like you just washed your hair with a weaker version of Garnier Fructis. And it has an extremely weak silage and it lasts for only 2 hours. I'm puzzled.

I had high expectations when I ordered a sample of this fragrance. I was disappointed. It is a very light scent, too light in fact, almost nonexistent. I can't even put my finger on which notes carried in this fragrance. A little citrus, perhaps a rose. It lasted about one hour, if that. I was amazed at its lack of sillage and staying power for such a pricey frag ($170/100ml). What a shame, it's such a beautiful bottle and the notes seemed so promising. Perhaps I'm anosmic to this scent; I don't know. All I do know is that I won't be wasting any money on a full bottle.

Dear oh dear, I wondered why I had tried all of this houses perfumes except for Kid Mohair, I must have read the comments on here. I'd obviously forgotten what they said when I ordered my sample but this is not a great fragrance. It did do one thing though...transport me back to a golden era in my early teens (when I actually had hair!) on occasion instead of gel or Brylcreem I would borrow my sisters hair Moose. The opening minute of Kid mohair (arguably as the alcohol is still evaporating) is exactly this smell, its a kind of bitter chemical musk shrouded in dense fruity aroma chemicals. It's a kind of primordial soup of choking, slightly nostril tingling juice. As it settles I get a white floral edge of peony, magnolia perhaps some rose, But still wrapped in that fruity shampoo smell which on skin almost smells a little of scalp too. Whenever I say that I'm conscious of how creepy it might sound but it reminds me of the sensation of kissing my girlfriend on the top of her head, so it's kinda sweet really. This dries down to a clean white musk and despite the barrage of abuse I've now contributed to, I can't hate kid mohair. After that first minute it doesn't smell bad as such, just like uninspiring perfume, lacking the sophistication and complexity that fragrance lovers want to smell. It doesn't work on me and could become slightly irritating after a while, I don't imagine ever wanting to smell like this, so it's a no from me.
