"Cazimi is an medieval astrological term which means “in the heart”. Cazimi is a Latin transliteration of the Arabic term kasmīmī, which means “as if in the the heart”. The Arabic term appears to be a translation of the Greek term egkardios, which literally means “in the heart” "Was it something I said or something I did, did the words not come out right, though I tried not to hurt you, though I tried, but I guess that's why they say, every rose has its thorn, just like every night has its dawn, just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song, every rose has its thorn" Poison (1988) The House of Matriarchs Christi Meshell has created an astonishingly beautiful rose fragrance, in fact, it's the most gorgeous rose perfume I have ever had the absolute pleasure of smelling. Rose was always one of my toughest notes to fall in love with, not because I felt it was flowery or feminine, I just wasn't fond of the smell, I always felt it overpowered the fragrance. To my surprise, I find Kazimi to be a very masculine, full bodied, dirty rose fragrance, with many plush rose tinctures, a woman can pull this off without any hesitation, but this has a definite masculine edge to it. A bloody red rose that blackens in the fury of the cruel winters snow, my sacred heart that beckons in the shadows of mystery, darkness, and distant memories of the unknown. An brush of autumn cold that fills the air, a silent morning that descends into the harsh storm that sinks in the chaos alone, a reflection in the mirror that burns through a passage of light from below. A rush of fear and doubt that fades into the melody of the dolphins cry, a feeling of floating weightless up above a sea of distant light, a beautiful new life has just begun. A promise of tomorrow that I caress in the heaviness of my arms, a breathless moment of happiness I will forever embrace as the seasons come undone.J.Sagona (2016) I get a black, dead, silent, chaotic, with a touch of sadness rose, that bellows through a spicy, slightly astringent, warm, woody, white ginger, and a murky cloudy, musky oud. Then a delicate, earthy, full bodied, green tinted, dry oakmoss, carries a slightly sweet, chunky, balmy opoponax, and an animalic, bitter, floating above water ambergris. I get the Rose, White Ginger, Opoponax, Oud and Oakmoss, it opens up with a dark, brooding rose, and a deep, earthy white ginger, the rose is strong the ginger is mild. After twenty minutes the white ginger dissipates, the rose softens, in comes a musty with a touch of dirtiness oud, and a piney, grassy oakmoss, the oud is mild, the oakmoss is soft. After five hours the oud and rose dissipate, the oakmoss softens, in comes a dry, resinous opoponax, and a salty, watery ambergris, the opopnax Is mild, the ambergris is soft. Kazimi is a very warm, elegant, refined, sophisticated, aromatic, spicy and woody nuances, a touch creamy and dirty, unisex, it leans more masculine, Oriental Floral fragrance. This can be worn in all year round. I get good projection and average longevity, this is so beautiful, and if you're a rose lover please sample it, I see a full bottle in my future, 5/5 Stars. You can purchase The House of Matriarchs Kazimi in a sample for $13.00, 15ML Extrait $120.00 50ML Extrait $330.00.

"What’s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet" This one is all about the rose. This is the most beautiful natural rose that you'll ever smell in a fragrance and is a combination of 7 different roses. It's an earthy, balsamic, unisex-masculine rose, not the jammy type. It is similar to the rose in ALD's Ottoman Empire and Malik Taif, but better. It is coupled with spices, along with hints of oud, oakmoss, and a muskiness. I don't detect much ambergris or ginger in this. The presentation is fantastic and all the fragrances come in a lovely blue and gold colour bottles with artistic labelling even for the samples. Projection is fairly moderate, good for the first couple of hours, longevity was only 4 hours on my skin and about 6 hours projecting on my clothing (it stays for 24hrs with zero projection on clothing) which is typical for natural rose. As with many niche perfumers, the website and marketing are very disoriented and need improving. 40% and 50% discounts are frequent throughout the year which makes the pricing very reasonable. Make sure you at least try this before you die.

Do these natural perfumes mature? At any rate, I crave this scent, and it grew on me - so either I changed or it did! I could swear that it was more peppery and less rosey when I first received it almost a year ago. The main elements I get are rose, spices (in particular cloves and ginger), and a kind of CLAY (compact, earthy) note that I'm really loving. What is that - can someone help me identify? Perhaps Oud? (I'm completely unfamiliar with Hyrax and Opoponax.) Kazimi is mildly sweet, and somehow delicious. Also, absolutely unisex. It's a very untraditional rose, this would be a great man's rose fragrance. Edit: I recommend to let it rest a year and come back to it again.

Describing a smell to others is useless. We all experience scents in different ways. To me, this is the best fragrance I've ever smelt. To me, it's thick, warm, velvety, rich rose and spices. To me, it's dark and erotic, but light and fresh at the same time. On my skin, I can smell it for a couple of hours. Others didn't smell it much, which is great, because I hate imposing my olfactory preference on others. Worth the money? To me, 100%.

Amazing dirty earthy rose. Not sweet at all. Can work very well as a masculine scent. As the several other Matriarch perfumes that I like (which wasn't all that I tested) there's a special experiential quality here, where I'd be happy just privately smelling this myself once in a while, as a ritual, to set a certain mood, caring much less about how it would smell for anybody else, or if they even would notice it.
