J

I'd been using Herrod and the decant was getting low, I was looking at buying a full bottle but the price tag kept getting in the way and in the mean time I decided to grab a few samples of Kyse new lot and this little beauty was one of my favorite to sample. It was a affordable alternative that I can live with both scent wise and financialy, I'm not saying this smells exactly like Herrod btw, it probably smells more like Tobacco Vanille X Odori when being compared, but what I really love about J is it reminds me of so many of my favorite tobacco scents, like Tabac Rouge, 1821, Tobacco Vanille, Franc Brocklet, Herrod, Odori, Tabac Aurea, all the ones I love and like rammed into one cute, affordable 60ml bottle, like I said not a clone of them, but the same genre! it's hard not to love J for that reason and naturally I had to have a bottle. Great for tobacco scent lovers who want a Kyse in your collection and people looking for a affordable tobacco experience . Love ❤ Update, of the five new ones I sampled this is the longest lasting, I could smell this one the next day and love the gourmand drydown that is familiar with the Kyse/by Terri perfumes. Highly recommend.

Such a good fragrance from Kyse. I first tried J when it launched, as Terri included a sample of this with my order. Some years later, my best friend mentioned that she loved Tobacco Vanille but couldn't afford it. I got her a bottle of this for her birthday instead, and I couldn't help but get myself a bottle as well since I remembered I liked the scent. I've been wearing it every fall for the past four years, and it's just so perfect. Perfect tobacco and vanilla scent. It's not Tobacco Vanille, but that's fine - it's beautiful in its own right. I really smell the oud in here. Smoky, deep, sweet, this smells like fall and crunching leaves to me. Lasts so well and is so strong. If you're not into gourmands, this is still one from Kyse that I would try. Smells way more expensive than it is. I'm sad I've finished my bottle.

There are not that many Kyse scents that are loves for me but J is one of those few. Tobacco and oud hit you between the eyes on the opening then you start to pick up the sweetness and vanilla behind them. The sweetness is not that much so fellas it's definitely one you can wear with ease. There is almost an animalic element present as well. Over time the sweetness fades a touch and the oud/tobacco dominate. It smells almost masculine at this stage. It's very warm and cosy. I can see why folk speak of campfires. It closes smelling very much like a campfire. It takes me back to my girl guide days. Good longevity and moderate sillage. It smells luxurious like a Xerjoff fragrance. A definite winner from Terri.

I thought my first try from Kyse (Crema di Lime e Cognac) was pretty nice but I'm really quite taken with J. Categorically, mixing the dark and the sweet, it's right up my alley, but the execution is here is simply superb. J blends the darker elements of tobacco and oud with vanilla, the sweetest note, as well as some cedar in the background to help smooth things over. It reminds me of the smoke and wood of a campfire mixed with cigars and sweet treats. Performance is quite strong---heavy projection and very strong longevity. At $62 for 60ml this is one of the easiest decisions to buy, and I'll look forward to adding this to my collection. 8 out of 10

I got a sample of this when I ordered a bottle of Douceur Brulee and I ordered a bottle of this imidiatly! I love this one..you are gonna get this smokey, tobacco, vanilla smell.When I got this sample my wife said that smells so good it smells smokey.I would have to say its unisex but may lean a little towards the masculine side but my wife is so picky about fragrances and she really likes this one and wanted some for herself so for that reaseason I would have to say its unisex.When I go to church its dark and foggy its the atmosphere that they create and I love wearing this one to church because it fits thats atmosphere perfectly!
