Knize Sec

Sec is very much a herbal lavender blend with a smokey aroma giving it that dry effect. After awhile the leather combined with amber rises to the top giving it an appealing sweetened tone. Mingling among the other notes is very much a soft citrus blend which has more of an overall lighter airy aroma. Longevity and Silage is very good with depth thou it's a lighter version. Finally I own Kinze 10...a real monster aroma of thick/dirty bad ass leather aroma which I enjoy during the late fall and throughout the winter months. Sec is much more of natural herbal smokey blend with a smig of leather. This fragrance could be worn during the early fall and during the day. The aroma is steady carrying well past 6hrs. I really enjoy this fragrance...8/10

Nice dry, herbaly/woody aromatic. Good blending of middle notes even though lavender and petitgrain are vying for attention. That jasmine/leather groove is saying something in the drydown. Keeps things interesting. Can almost smell the cedar note; incense is a nice touch throughout. I can imagine an old, personal library with leather-bound books arrayed on cedar shelves, an overstuffed chair next to an old table with wood-inlayed ; a snifter of cognac atop it. Dry rustling of pages being turned as an incensy-ink smell wafts throughout the room. All of these notes know how to play 'knize'.

What a magnificent flanker of the original The addition of oranges and incense is inspiring Yes it does smell like something I tried before But the power and intensity is incredible I loved it and enjoyed it Such an incredible scent to wear every now and then Leather and oranges is a match made in heaven It’s not my first experience here I enjoyed bel ami by Hermes just as much as this one frankly more than this And since the brand is hard to find in my region makes it that much better A must try at least if you like leather and oranges

Knize Sec is a very unusual scent without going over the top. Sec is smooth, dignified, and graceful, but marches to its own drummer. In the very beginning I detect something that almost reminds me of pineapple--but realistic tangy pineapple, not gross pineapple-scented products. It then becomes very earthy and smooth, smelling of sage and potting soil (but not too literal). Despite this seeming clash of juicy-earthy, it transitions flawlessly. A scent of moderation and individuality. Very nice.

Launched in 1985 Sec has a drastically dry citrus/frankincense/sage opening enriched in the drydown by amber, shy flowery accords, a remarkable coriander note and hints of leather. Sort of a dried to the bone Knize Ten. Not very much to add as this composition is quite simple and linear yet incredibly satisfying. Maybe not one of the most distinctive perfumes around but If you're into straight-forward, austere frankincense fragrances you'll probably dig this. I do. Rating 7.5/10
