Krizia

Krizia is truly divine. I think it's one of the most beautiful perfumes I've ever come across, and I adore it. The star anise and vanilla, the heliotrope and iris, and the beautiful soft gentle yet rich pungent patchouli, not to mention the divine jasmine and musk, all together so well blended, create heaven. It's beautifully sweet and luscious. Really beautiful creamy almond from the heliotrope makes this perfume sublime for me. Add the pungency of the star anise, with it's bitterness, and it's an amazing creation. Splendid. Elegant, refined and maturely feminine, and lasts and lasts till the heavens open my heart with love. It's like going on a journey to heaven for me - mysterious, dark and deep, with a sense of ascending to higher plane. Very sensual, in a refined way - like your higher senses are being caressed and loved. It's superb. I LOVE KRIZIA - to death!!!

Mysterious and deep with a clean opulence. Like a black pearl--smooth, cool and bold. I get an almost-almond note which I think is an accord created by the nutty, earthiness of star anise, the creaminess of heliotrope, and the coolness of iris. Patchouli lends some warm depth and clean woodiness that draws you right in before you're even aware. Musk and vanilla add some sweet enticement without being cloying, yet it is strong. Sensual with a cool, luminous glow, yet warmly inviting at the same time.

A fantastic scent, definitely unisex. Very sexy when is wear by a woman, it's a pity that is no longer in production.

Explosion of spicy sugar and pure wilderness! Strong and deeply warm scent suitable for daring women. The earthy-black model on the poster is great for promoting this perfume - because if feeling of hot african savannah could be transformed into fragrance, then it will be Krizia ;-)

As soon as I put this on, I knew I have smelled this before. It was bugging the living hell out of me - until I saw F_A's comparison to Lolita Lempicka - YES, EXACTLY its sister! In other words, it's exactly like L de Lolita Lempicka, the gingerbread relative of the classic Lolita. Krizia is definitely not woody spicy on me, but spicy vanilla. And that's not just its category, that really is ALL it smells like - delicious & edible spicy vanilla, i.e. gingerbread. Yum!
