Eva Kant

I LOVE this fragance. It is really nice for me. It smells like a lemon pie....mmmm delicious! It remember me to lignum vitae by beaufort London, but sweeter and brighter, less Woody and more balsámic and flowery. It is very noticeable the balsámic vibe of myhrr and benzoin that with the sweetness of vanilla give this vibe of a lemon cake and on the background a very beautiful mix of flowers: lavender, ylangylang, magnolia .. wonderful! The opening is more citrus and sweet and during the dry down the flowery and spicy part grows Up. The fragance is unisex and for me It is easy yo wear at every time and on every season. Perhaps only for very elegant and classic situations would be not very recomendable. The performance is not bad but It is notba beast. The longevity is good, It is a long lasting fragance which lasts on my skin for more tran 8 hours, however the sillage is not very high and It becomes a skin scent Soon. It world Well un short distances... Scent: 9 Longevity: 8 Sillage: 6 Quality/price: 5 Originality: 8 Versatility: 9 Global: 8.5

Eva the perfume all hinges on the juxtaposition of a bitter spiciness layered over a soft creamy base. The former composed of lemongrass, bitter grapefruit oil from the skin of the fruit with a soapyness from the cardamom, I guess the listed lavender plays in this accord by didn't feel too prominent. This all is feels volatile and expansive. The second side is driven by the resins and vanilla, it sits closer and denser, sweet, slightly powdery and creamy. Over Eva's progression the focus shifts from the bitter side to the soft base. But things never feel entirely harmonious, their is an interesting interplay between the two at all times almost a combination of avant and classical. If we're talking music think Walk This Way by Run DMC and Aerosmith. Very late drydown turns mostly to vanilla. Projection is moderate/good and longevity +8 hours. After a few wears now I'm liking this very much.

Loved this perfume from the moment I smelled it. This is the 3rd perfume I have tried by O'Driu - and two, the other is Peety, are in my top 5 favorites. Beyond the sense of smell, they connect on a subliminal level. I feel like the best version of myself when I am wearing them. Most people describe this one as an oriental with top notes of grapefruit, lavender and wood. I would describe it as the perfume of my inner self. I encourage you to read a marvelous review by kafkaesque which expresses my experience with it more eloquently and with more detail than I can. Find it by googling kafkaesqueblog - Eva Kant. Angelo Pregoni is a self proclaimed perfume artist who uses fragrance as his palette. He definitely created a work that ties into my subconscious. Eva Kant, like the character that inspired the scent, is my alter-ego. Will you marry me Mr. Pregoni? (or should I call you Diabolik)

There are perfumes that are nice and other perfumes that are bewitching. This one is bewitching and unlike any other perfume I've smelled. It's intriguing and mysterious. Mercifully, given the price, it's quite strong and long lasting so a little will go a long way. This one just tickles something in my brain and transports me to a different place. I'm looking for a truly special perfume and this may be it. It's not a typical perfume and that is a large part of its appeal for me.

Eva Kant opens in a very complex way. Citrus & ginger notes, but also spices like cardamom appear very quickly and are quite strong. After the spices, the sweetness appears in the form of myrrh, vanilla and ylang. The rougher benzoin serves as a steady base together with sweet woods. The drydown is mostly sweet myrrh, vanilla, ylang and a load of other sweet notes on a patchouli base. There is also something animalic in there that is very appealing. Sillage is soft to moderate, longevity moderate. This scent didn't wow me on the tester strip, but the bottle nozzle smelled very interesting and I decided to test on skin. Wow! It bloomed immediately with lovely spicy notes and becoming quite sweet later on. I love the combination. There is something very appealing in this mix! On the want-list.
