Kama

After using this scent countless times over the course of many months, I want to get it out of my head. I became obsessed with the scent as soon as I tested it and now I have come to the conclusion that I will not be buying the whole bottle. The scent is not bad at all, it is just as good as I briefly wrote seven months ago: "Beautiful pampering velvety leather with fruity nuances and subtle sweetness. Well blended, attractive, chic, versatile as well. Perfection." Despite its addictiveness and excellently crafted blend, it still feels pointless to add it to my collection. This is not a head-turning scent or one that will be remembered for its uniqueness weeks, even months later. This is a well-made, safe and easy choice. The scent is an incredibly beautiful and balanced composition, and it will definitely please most people who like sweet scents. Its fruity aroma combined with cotton candy, candy-like violet and the softest and softest leather create an addictive elixir that you will want to sniff endlessly. The soft base of pure musk and cashmere really create a feeling of a fluffy, velvety texture, which wraps its wearer in a safe blanket. The scent has been compared with "London | Widian" , "Ombré Leather | Tom Ford" and "Tuscan Leather | Tom Ford" but I disagree about the similarity. First of all, the fruity note is clearly different, after all it is Blackberry and not Raspberry. There is a similar ease in Ombré Leather , although it is not quite the same fluffy cloud, but rather clear and transparent, Tuscan Leather being darker. As for London | Widian, the leather and fruity twist of Raspberry are much more clearly separated from the blend than Blackberry and the leather in "Kama | pernoire" . London is oriental in structure with a dominant ambery base and the scent has some kind of darkness in it, while Kama in my opinion does not meet the criteria of an oriental fragrance at all, but in all its sweetness, deliciousness and ease it even leans towards the gourmand category and if I have to describe it as a color I would say baby pink. The difference also comes in who the fragrance is aimed at. Of course, fragrances are subjective and everyone can wear what they want, but the categorization still helps to understand the fragrances. While all the aforementioned fragrances are unisex or even lean towards the masculine, "Kama | pernoire" leans towards the feminine. The structure of Kama without Oud remains extremely versatile and crowd pleasing. Its leather note, despite Birch Tar, is very subtle, the sweetness of the scent is tuned up with cotton candy, bringing out a playful nature, and the gentle, caressing, comforting base finishes the scent in a class of its own from other fruity leather scents. This scent can be worn anywhere and anytime, I don't think it bothers anyone. The projection is very moderate, it's a gentle cloud around the wearer. Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful. I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG and/or YouTube (English subtitles): @ninamariahperfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more.

The parfume pyramide missing one important note!! The blackberry witch is one of the most prominent fruity note in this composition. Regardless, a very good fragrance named after the Hindu god of seduction and love. If you want to understand the character of the fragrance, read the story behind it!

I absoluty love pernoire, and am a big fan of Andreas and Robin. Kama is silent yet bold, an absolute standout but very approachable.. This is a confident, steady guy that does not bluf or lie. He gets the girl without having to speak.

A fragrance where the note pyramid is pretty accurate to the experience. Opens up pretty sharp and sweet which is a consistent trend with some of the other Pernoire fragrances I've tried so far. Maintains a fairly sweet character throughout and the blackberry is quite persistent for a top note. During the dry down the leather, violet, and orris come through in a well-blended fashion and combine with the moss and cashmeran in the base to form a very pleasant woody-savory floral and slightly powdery backbone. The leather and birch tar sit on top of that, and the blackberry shimmers on top of it all. The birch tar lends a subtle but sharp smoke, but is not nearly as apparent as it is in Mississippi medicine, which is my reference for a birch tar note. I'm finding a trend with pernoire fragrances: nice, unique fragrances with qualities that appeal broadly, performance is good, but price is questionable for what it is.

The fragrance is sweet, pleasant and versatile, unisex, leans a bit more feminine. It is long lasting. But the main disappointment is it’s too quiet. Even right after spraying my wife says that she can’t smell it from me in the room/car. Same for me, to hear it I need to sniff my wrist closely. This is not what you expect from extrait. For leather lovers - this is not a leather fragrance, I would say it’s a fragrance with leather note which is a kind of undertone here. Main accords to me are blackberry, cotton candy and powder.
