Krazy Krizia

i got this as edp lastly because of the lot of very good reviews about it. it smells like Obsession from CK indeed, but deeper not being heavy! comparing the similarity of the most notes this can't be a real surprise. :) but i like more this one than obsession, because its lasting power is enourmeous(!!!) and the middle- and basenotes remember me a lot of dior addict too! obsession from ck is missing the tonkabean in its base which one is very characteristical for dior addict's warm and intoxicating basenotes I mean, but similarities are given on both middle- and basenotes at this point. wearing it after some hours i can really really hardly tell the difference of dior addict and krazy krizia. well curious as i am, comparing the middle- and base with dior addict my nose was right: about 5 notes are identic! creamy Rose and Jasmin, tonkabean, sandalwood and vanilla. i m sure there are more identics at least in the base, but dior doesn't tell all notes of their perfumes obviousely. wearing krazy krizia gives you a very luxury feeling and you can get hints of it on yourself for hours. i hate perfumes which i can t detect on myself. i m not wearing my perfume for others, i wanna be able to catch the smell while wearing it. and this one ist just perfect. the opening has fruity and juicy with a touch of medical character, not disturbing, and something is smelling really strange in it sniffing close to the skin, guess it's the the basil. the citrus i can t really detect that mutch. then after some minutes this strange smell fades away and the really creamy flowery notes are developping very nicely. about half an hour later the base introduces, mingling very well down the heart- to the basenotes, starting with the vanilla, which one is not too sweet and very intoxigating in marriage with the tonkabeen and sandalwood with slight hints of moschus and patchouli very well blendet, hardly to distingue, not offensive or dirty, almost sexy and sensual. my husband told me instantly how lovely it smells when i was wearing this the first time! very comfy and attractive scent, not overhelming or ordinary. just perfect for day and night wear, it would never let you down! yes, it can easely become my signature scent. bottle very eyecatching and original too. definitely thumbs up!

This was a blind buy for me at an estate sale, but a very happy one. At the sale there was a room full of of fantastic limited edition vintage perfumes that were way out of my price range, but there was also a table with this lady's every day perfumes. Seeing her incredible collection I figured it wouldn't really matter which I picked off the "cheap" table because she obviously had pretty good taste in fragrances, so I took home with me used bottles of Krazy Krizia, Moschino, and a 1982 bottle of L'Heure Blue. I had no idea what Krazy Krizia would bring forth and the first time I sprayed it on, I sprayed extra sparingly only to find that this brought back memories of college back in the 90's. As everyone below already noted, this does smell similar to Obsession, but I like it better because it's not the same ole run of the mill Obsession that all of my friends had. I think I was the only one back then who wasn't wearing Obsession, I was the odd ball wearing Samsara. Anyways, this morning I sprayed, and then sprayed an extra layer, to get the full effect and found out that Krazy Krizia is a monster spice bomb. Wow, Mi Piace! I smelled lots of spicy pepper, sweet amber, carnation, fresh cut greens, tart citrus, some powder and a wild civit smell in the background. After about an hour it toned down just a hair so that the hints of sandalwood and boozy vanilla could come through. It's been 8 hours since I put this on and it's still projecting very nicely like a good 80's type perfume would. I love this scent!

Krazy Krizia is an underrated gem created by the great Dominique Ropion. I hadn't heard of KK until recently, but found a vintage miniature on eBay, and was very pleasantly surprised. It is an excellent spicy amber scent in the manner of Tabu or Obsession, but I prefer this, finding it more nuanced and agreeable to my nose. KK opens with zesty citrus notes, with orange being most prevalent, bolstered by foresty green notes. Vintage-style galbanum, slightly reminiscent of Estée Lauder Private Collection adds depth to the greenness, while a hint of peach adds sweetness. Aldehydes keep it airy, while spicy notes come to the fore as it develops. Clove-like carnation is the most dominant spicy note, complemented to perfection by sweet rose. Rich, smooth sandalwood of the Mysore variety emerges with the florals, grounding KK and tying it all together. As it dries down, smooth vanilla adds sweetness, complementing the animalic amber accord in the base beautifully. Patchouli adds a dirtiness, which clouds the other notes periodically, but this could be due to the age of my bottle. Woody and soft spicy notes are also present until it fades to a sweet amber-vanilla skin scent. Sillage is moderate, and longevity is decent. A mature, feminine perfume, KK is elegant and fun in equal parts. Rich and opulent, it is a beautiful evening scent that delivers vintage glamour. Beautifully composed, this one deserves more love. Shalimar reinterpreted for the 1990s. 4/5.

I know my review may come off weird, but bare with me. Krazy Krizia is a perfect name for her that is what she is a (K)crazy mix of florals, fruits, and other earthy notes. The nose behind it is Dominique Ropion, a master in the olfactory field in my opinion. If Kenzo's Jungle Elephant is Christmas, well this cornucopia of bold notes is Thanksgiving. With each spray, I am whisked away to the warmth of family and friends perched around the table waiting on the delicious turkey baking in the oven. The table is set with a smorgasbord of autumn favorites, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, and grandma's famous stuffing. Krazy Krizia's fragrance embodies the spirit and smell of the Thanksgiving holiday. This perfume combines an eclectic blend of vibrant notes, starting with zesty citrus and spicy florals, layered over a warm, woody base. Its unconventional composition evokes a sense of fun and familal warmth associated with the time of the season. With its unique amalgam of sweetness and spice, Krazy Krizia is one of my favorite fragrances.

I have really enjoyed this. I bought it fairly recently, after seeing Dana on YouTube recommend it. The bottle I got isn't a spray, which is okay with this fragrance because it's sort of thick and oily. For me, that is good, because it's easier to dab on. Also, the slightly viscous feeling - combined with the scent - adds to the experience. Sometimes it does smell like fruit. I've gotten to where I can tolerate and even enjoy that a lot more than in the past. A little on the sweet side, and spicy. A few flowers peek out every now and then, but I can't tell what they are. I can't really smell the base notes, not in any discernible way. I guess they're just there - doing their job, without much fuss. Mostly, Krazy just smells good. Dana - again the YouTuber - stated words to the effect that she gets something different every time she smells it. I tend to find that, too.
