Kismet for Women

I sampled this beauty at a local shop, and I kept on sniffing my arm all day. I had to go back and get it! I have long looked for a signature fragrance, and I am so glad I have found it! I don't know the Killian fragrance, but this one is like stepping into a dream for me. I am an 80's child, have always been surrounded by fragrances (my mom and dad have always been fragrance lovers), I don't think this is dated at all! Back then this would have been called sickly sweet, as have been fragrances such as LouLou, Poison, etc. This is a beautiful blend of fruit, flowers, musk and soft woods, and extremely elegant and tasty. I understand some skins don't do well with certain ingredients, but overall it is a classy beauty, heavenly, really. The problem is that for years now, fragrances have constantly been overloaded with sweet and woody accents, and after a nose gets used to smelling such strong scents, it won't appreciate softer ones. It's just like a house with loads of indoor cats. The person who lives there gets used to the smell, but as soon as an outsider without cats walks in, they get that waft of cat odor. Seriously, this is a gem, right from the get go. It stays ony skin eternally (I ALWAYS moisturize and I drink loads of water, my skin is a fragrance magnet), as a slightly powdery, ambery, peachy smell. If peaches and apricots skins were a fragrance, this would be it, velvety texture included. I get loads of compliments, and my friends say I smell like a billionaire when I wear it. And that's how it makes me feel!

The first spray on my skin surprised me, I got apricot mixed with alcohol. I got scared for a minute, but then the alcohol faded away and the white floral came to surface. It is very light feminine scent, I never had anything similar so it may take some time to grow on me. Never smelled the “original”, I bought it because tiktokkers said how beautiful and long lasting this is. I will probably layer it with some sweeter fragrances and see how it works. As I just tried I can’t say anything about longevity yet, the projection is not huge, I would say you can smell it within arm lenght. Edit: Just as I expected, this beautiful scent really grew on me, I have been wearing it every single day. The jammy apricot and light floral combo puts me in a good mood immediately. Still super feminine and makes you feel like a goddess. Longevity is 8+ hours on me, I could even smell it after shower.

This is a classy, grown, beautiful woman’s fragrance. The florals are sexy enough that men like it, but sophisticated enough that it doesn’t scream skanky or slutty. I have nothing against fragrances like that - I adore them - but this is not that at all. I get a sort of creaminess that isn’t listed, but it balances out the white florals, which can turn really matronly on me, and I think that’s what adds the sexy sensuality. I’m undecided on whether this is a safe blind-buy, but it definitely is if you’re a fan of white florals. Longevity is 6-8 hr on me and sillage is between strong and moderate, depending on how much of a sprayer you are. In my opinion, it’s more of a daytime fragrance, and works best in spring and winter.

I was worried about this after reading the comments about how off this smelled. I was prepared for the worst case scenario when I sprayed this, but to my surprise, this is a beautiful scent to me. It is apricot forward, very fruity, which was what I was hoping for. There is a hint of some latconic vibes in there. Then there is white and yellow florals hanging around in the background rounding out the apricot scent, making it very sexy to my nose. I will say this is more mature fruity/floral smell and probably women over 30 will like this more. This is a first impressions however I am glad to say if this get any better I will literally become obsessed with this!

Ive bought Kismet for Women again after finishing my previous bottle a year or so ago and missing having it in my collection. Something about this profile is super easy to wear for me, even just to work. I feel feminine and well groomed in this. I also feel that way with Athena by Lattafa. You know when you're on a crowded train and you feel like YOU are that person smelling good. I don't feel self conscious like i do sometimes even when i love a scent but I know it could be a bit much for some people. The price is also insanely fair for the quality. I need to overspray a touch but im ok with that. It does last on clothes.

Boom! I've always wanted to smell like this! A most gorgeous fragrance that was love at first sniff. Sweet floral fragrance and I think one of the best creations from this sub-house of lattafa. It is sweet, floral, powdery and the dry down is to die for. Projection is good first 2 hours then dies down but leaves you with a beautiful scent bubble around you. I hesitated too much before I got this frag and it would have been a great blind buy. Can be a signature scent. Quite strong upon first spray but in nice sweet kind of way. I can't stop smelling my wrist, I love it that much. Definite repurchase.

So good! If you find yourself gravitating to this fragrance and then happen to come across some of the negative reviews - ask yourself; why do you give a damn?! Look, I trust my nose and THIS scent is gorgeous and actually quite a unique white floral scent. It is poised and elegant and I feel fabulous wearing it! If longevity is a problem, girl carry a small atomizer with you and touch up! It's affordable enough to "warrant" generous spraying throughout the day 😉

I am obsessed! This was my best blind buy. The opening is a bit scary ngl.. but once it dries down.. oh my God. The powdery, milky, slightly sweet, fruity, floral woody smell is insane. It KIND of reminds me of Z&V this is her, I know it's a duper of GGGB, its definitely spicier than TIH , which seems typical for Kilian scents. Overall, if you like powdery, woody, milky and a bit sweet scents, you will love it. Safe blind buy.

This is THE warm sensual & fruity floral scent I've been looking for for so long, that is affordable and doesn't smell like a kids' cologne after drying out. It's powdery, sweet, mature, feminine, and I am completely obsessed. It lasts for a very long time on me, even after shower I can smell the residue, in a subtle and clean way. This is going to be my go-to daily for spring and summer for sure.

I'm on my second bottle. Peachy floral. Good year rounder. Sort of hairspray smelling, kinda My Little Pony hair scent. I've definitely smelled this a lot in the wild before I knew what it was, although I'm sure it was the Kilian. I love it. It smells a bit dated, late 90s-ish, but calling it granny is a real stretch.

Love this; a powdery, slightly waxy apricot & tuberose fruity floral. The powdery aspect tapers off a bit, but definitely still lingers. Comparable to By Kilian's Good Girl Gone Bad, but this wears much sweeter to my nose on the opening. Booming projection, creates a lovely shell around the body. Warm weather only.

When I first received this, it was loud and screaming at me in horror! After she rested a bit, I am delighted with this sweet syrupy fruity floral concoction....another Maison Alhambra that is to die for 🫶🏻🙌🏻 BTW....I can't compare it to any Western scents because I have no clue about the OG's 🧚🏻♀️

To me, it does smell like GGGB for sure. It's not a 100% match but it does come very close. I love the creaminess of the perfume. It has good projection and is not screechy or synthetic smelling. I love this! The white florals are not sharp or anything either. All round crowd pleaser! Me likey!

Oh I’m in love with this scent. It’s so feminine and pretty. It’s a perfect blend of apricot and white flowers. It was a blind buy and I’m so happy I took the chance. Warning though, this is very mature. A great value as well. Very successful blind buy.

This give a picture of pretty girl wearing a white dress vacationing in Sicily. This perfume smell like oragne blossom to me. It's a perfect summer fragrance but doesn't last very long and doesn't project like most arabian perfume does.

This fragrance is straight up lipton peach iced tea. TEA, PEOPLE! I smell pettitgrain or some sort of light warm green tea, the apricot and tuberose combo is so juicy and vibrant. Can't get enough. Creamy, green, fuzzy, floral goodness!

What a stunner...soft, powdery, airy floral...if you told me there are Marshmellows in the notes I'd believe you...I don't pick up anything green...but the apricot tuberose combo is prominent here...ultra feminine. Love!

This smells very lovely and feminine. It’s a sweet tuberose covered in a thick peachy apricoty jam. The sillage and longevity are also above average and for the price and 100ml bottle I’ve really got nothing bad to say.

Wow. Just wow. I had read that it would need months to sit but mine was amazing right out of the box!!!! I love love love this fragrance. I will never be without this.

To me, as man, this smells so unbelievably good! The fruitiness and rose combo works way too well. Apparently sweet apricot is a super attractive note to me
