Kyma

Underrated gem..!! Discovered on the Instagram app and impressed with the bottle and presentation. Purchased three fragrances from the house of Korres and very pleased. Kyma is the first written review and as noted in the preceding reviews, very Summer oriented. This fragrance smells great - summer in a bottle with a fresh and salty vibe. I am so impressed, I would pitch it can be worn during any season and day or night. While performance falls slightly below average, Kyma is office friendly/safe and you will get that occasional lingering waft that will leave you with, "wow, I really like this fragrance..!!" A great buy, definitely unisex, and a full bottle recommendation to add to any collection. Enjoy your day and happy fragrance hunting...

This fragrance was such a pleasant surprise! The scent reminds me of a clean, oceanic-scented men’s body lotion, but it's still unisex. It leaves you with that just stepped out of the shower feeling that’s perfect for any warm summer day. The projection and longevity couldn't be worse. It also leaves a light, almost oily finish on the skin but nothing uncomfortable. I also managed to grab it as part of a $17 gift set that included a matching shower gel. I love the bottle design, it makes me want to start collecting more from the Korres fragrance line. 7/10 fresh and elegant, it would be a 9/10 if it lasts longer. A successful blind buy, I can confidently recommend, if you're searching for an inoffensive fragrance.

fresh, zesty, a bit of sweetness on my skin. i really enjoy the pepper in the heart notes. totally unisex and light enough that i would wear this all year long as a skin scent. i got the 10ml roll-on bottle and it’s cute too edit: i usually put it on in the morning and do a second application early afternoon—the first application is rather fresh and sweet, but the second layer really brings out the notes that were lost on my skin the 1st time: lime, vetiver... i love it

The aquatic notes are so strong and make you feel so fresh during a hot summer day. I wish it'd stay so aquatic all the time, it kind of fades into a more sweeter scent on me later. It doesn't linger in the air for a long time (maybe the first 30-40 minutes), but it sits closely on your skin for hours and you will smell like you bathed in the parfume. It's amazing, clean and makes me feel like I'm swimming in the sea. I think this is my new favorite summer scent.

This is the best scent that I own. Definitely unisex, but feels more suitable for women. Vetiver, pepper and lime are prodominant. I was born and raised in a coastal city of Aegean sea, this fragrance feels like swimming through the wavy sea in the afternoon, feeling a bit tired aftwards, then having an afternoon nap on the clean, white sheets.

I think this is so nice! It’s fresh and aquatic slightly sour - I love it. It’s exactly what you would imagine the the coast of Greece to smell and it makes me happy. For an eau de toilette it has pretty good performance! I got mine for like 25€ at a Greek pharmacy and I’m in love ! Definitely will be buying more from Korres :)

what i like abt korres fragrances is they're not very strong or radiant but the unique and pleasant scents r definitely going to be noticed by close friends/partners so it feels more like a personal touch kind of perfume ! plus this one is awesome for canicular summer days

This is beautiful! Smells so fresh and so happy. It does wonderful in the rain as well so for summer to fall transition it is lovely. At first it is a nice citrus blast which then turns to a rich aquatic woody scent. Cozy and sunny!

I love the beachy sunscreen vibe, but on hot days it gets a little bit too sweet for my taste. I'm very sensitive to sweetness in perfumes. Today I freshened it up with Margiela's Sailing Day and this was divine and breezy!

Finally a near perfect replacement for the discontinued CK2 by Calvin Klein, which is one of my all time favorites. Takes me straight back to 2017 and warm summer days at the beach. Long longevity and good projection.

This the best summer office perfume that I have owned. Very clean and fresh. I liked Korres but didn’t expect to love it that much ! Excellent quality for the price. Definitely not a mainstream type of fragrance.

This is what summer feels like ✨ if you are a Greek (like me) you know why they called this Kyma. The pepper with the aquatic notes, and the fresh citrus... it’s really like having the sea with you.

Finally a replacement for my beloved and discontinued CK2 by Calvin Klein. Love love love! It’s an edt so it stays for about 5 hours but I love it!

Fresh, clean, playful. Some told me smells a bit of watermelon for some reason. A good unisex scent for every summer/spring occasion. 8.5/10

I just love this. It's on the salty, rocky side of beachy, which is very much my thing. It smells of Block Island and Cape Cod.

Very good and a proper unisex parfume which can be used by all. I went through the bottle so fast because its that good.

To me in the dry down is spot on Le Rem Reminiscence. I love it. Salty , marine a little Peppery citric.

If youre in Australia looking for a bottle of this three quarters full dm me

Amazing watery scent, does not last at all though which is a shame.

You've stepped out of the Aegean sea, after a refreshing summer holiday swim on a pebble beach in Greece. (More of a rocky seaside than a sandy beach). 10 minutes later & your skin has dried, and you take a deep breath of the sea air. That's Kyma! (The word means "wave" in Greek by the way). It's a salty yet fresh scent. Seaweed isn't listed as a note but it's definitely there, but it's a subtle sourness from the Seaweed, not quite as pronounced as Margiela's Sailing Day for example. It's that type of DNA but this is more wearable in my opinion. For those of you that are familiar with Korres excellent products in general, this actually smells very similar to their "olive sea salt" shower gel. The negative is that it doesn't last long on my skin. But when I'm longing for that sea breeze, it hits the spot, even though it's fleeting

Blind bought on a whim after seeing discussion that it was similar to discontinued ck2 and finding it for a steal. Wasn’t very impressed upon first spray, but as I went about my day I kept getting whiffs of it that made me pause to smell my wrist. The interesting part is that it dries down to a surprisingly photorealistic concrete petrichor smell once the opening citrus blast calms down. Not sure if that is from the cedar/vetiver/nutmeg base or just a reaction with my skin chemistry. But on me it’s less straightforward marine/watery/woody than described and more mineral/spicy. It’s not the most amazing scent but I’m pleasantly surprised with this one

I was blown away by how good Kyma smells like. Feels like getting transported to a beach coastline after a whiff of this scent. And since Kyma literally translates to Wave, it is so fitting! The key notes for me were the sea and watery notes plus the citruses. This is such a calming and relaxing scent that puts you at ease while making you think of your next beach getaway! And for the price? This is a steal! I don't know any fragrance in the industry that smells close!

skin test, lasting well, 5 hour mark and going well. overall a clean scent. none of this range on me are bombs, theyre subtle and thoughroughly enjoyabe if your vibe is overall clean scents. goes a touch woody-flat at the end, i say layer it, or spray more than my piddly one spritz.. clean fresh laundry nice

Citrus, aquatics and a bit of cedar. Excellent light fragrance and hard to beat at the price (often under $20/50ml). I rarely overspray, but you need to overspray this. Very light projection and barely lasts a few minutes. Nice for summer if you want something light and innofensive.

On me I smell a lot more vetiver & orange than I was expecting. Not similar at all to Sailing Day, which is more of a pure balanced marine scent - in this you really get the citrus. Super great value. You can get the fragrance with the matching body wash on Amazon for around $40.

This is a mediterranean summer night in a bottle.. An aquatic scent based on orange and mandarin notes well blended with cedar and pepper. Discreet not going to offend anyone. Medium projection and longetivity.

very nice, unisex but maybe leans 55/45 fem to my nose, the dark amber bottle with white cap makes it look like a medicinal bottle.

True to its name, it smells like the sea.

It reminds me of coconut water. The water and cedar plus nutmeg notes give this impression. It is very clean, very fresh, unisex without picking a side. Rather swimming pool than the sea. I feel something metallic in it. With time it turns more floral. 2 hours and it is gone. Scroll some many hours later and through LVEB Vanilla Nude and I feel this again. Metal can and swimming pool water...

When I bought this I was expecting more of a citrus-like scent, but it kinda smells like chemicals and cleaning products. It has a harsh smell upon the first spray but as it dries down it becomes more bearable. On me it lowkey smells like cucumber with a bit of a sweet note after some time ,and I have no idea why😭😭😭. I was left kinda dissapointed. It is not a safe blind buy.

The marine, cedar, and orange zest notes are great and remind me of summer on the Olympic Peninsula. Until the sour—either the pepper or nutmeg is rancid and off. I like this EDT at first whiff, dislike it on second, there is no third (no longevity outside of an almost physically painful cleaning chemical smell) The reviewer who noted a lack of “cushion” in base notes is spot on And the J. Peterman Catalog writing on bottle and box made me and spouse chuckle

One of the weakest fragrances I've ever sampled. Zero sillage and abysmal longevity.

Smells like sunscreen, and terrible performance.

Oh my God, it smells like shaving foam.

A sad story of a masterpiece gone washed out... An overall brilliant scent that teleports me to the Cyclades and it’s either more realistic or embellished version of Replica’s Sailing Day (IDK). Perhaps the citrus-pepper-water played the role as a well spoken tourist guide. Who is quick to point out the best spots, whereabouts to go and avoid. He has the good looks and humour in one and he is so good in his job that the sea water became clear and sweet as it was salty and bitter. Although we must admit that good times must end, but not for like a few hours though! The weak silage and short longevity is all enough to ruin Kyma. Like legally arriving at Athens before being told on gunpoint that you’ll be deported.

On my skin this is a bright, citrusy, salty cedar. It makes me feel expensive, fresh, and clean even when commuting in the NYC subway system on a 100° day. It's very unisex, maybe just a little masculine, which is my personal preference in the summer. It's assertively clean, but nothing like cleaning products to my nose. I like to mix it with the Dad's Garden Lemon Tree body spray from Lush, which is a photorealistic sharp lemon over a musky base - the combination heightens Kyma's citrus and rounds out the cedar. Goes well with a crisp cotton shirt or 100% linen. Clean and bright, this feels like a breezy Mediterranean summer. Helps me pretend I'm on a sailboat somewhere instead of sweating on the A train.

This perfume smells nice, and i think it gets the aquatic vibes down wonderfully - however, it suffers from the issues most Korres scents suffer from , which is that it does not have a plush, warm pillow of base notes to fall back on. The Cedar, Vetiver and Nutmeg tried their mightiest. Korres has good concepts but a lot of it scents are shallow to me - why are they so afraid of a good base note? The ingredient quality is there and you can tell that by its scents, but it lacks depth to me.

My ultimate favourite fragrance from Korres! A radiant and bright acidic marine fragrance. Full of freshness and cleanliness. Smelled it on a friend during the summer and loved it! If you find yourself at Athens, GR airport, make sure to try it out! Super value for money.

Smells like the sea and citruses. It's a bit sweet but fresh and so lovely. It lasts great on my skin and the projection is good too! Such a good find for an honest price.

Just picked this up in a pharmacy last week in Bordeaux as was on half price promotion. Smells like summer in a bottle citrusy solar amber like I'm standing on the sun:)

Bought this for myself and the husband. It's really nice, with fresh marine notes and a slightly citrus vibe in the drydown. Unisex-leaning, slightly masculine.

Very nice and fresh fragrance. I mostly get oranges, ceder and aquatic notes. I also reminds me of some kind of mediterranean soap.Totally unisex.

I share my bottle of this with my bf, it's mostly an orange and marine scent in my opinion and good for summer!

If you loved the discontinued CK2 by Calvin Klein you must have this!

A pretty aquatic! Very addictive sweet citrus with aquatic notes.

For some reason, this smells like Santal 33 if it was beachy
