Kira Kira きらきら

First time smelling it was alright, but after several try on skin I think I'm in love, I can imagine walking slowly during hot summer night in Tokyo streets after some shots with fellow colleagues. Start with alcohol-ish of freshly brewed sake and crispiness of cold pear, after like 10 minutes it dries down to a warm musky skinscent. The longevity is alright 4-5 hours close to skin but the sillage is meh (can't blame due to the nature of ambery musky scent profile).

This has become one of my favorites. This is the musky sweet pear fragrance I've been searching for! Skin scent type of fragrance but the longevity is pretty good. I like it even better Miller Harris' Poirier dun Soir and I certainly like this better than Another 13. My only gripe is that they only sell 30ml bottles of this and I'm kicking myself for not buying two coz I'm already halfway through the bottle and it's only been 3 weeks!

Revisit and update. Has developed for the better. More noticeable though subtle. More a core body I feel for best projection. Projects strong but in a stealthy shinobi way. Only way I can explain it..lol. Also, I feel like I have developed a recognition of the notes here with time and education. For yourself but others will feel the fragrance and might get overwhelmed.

Perfect perfume Same as Hikari from Pryn. I hope it will repeat the same hype. Have a bottle of original one and this is a classic avant garde scent with sake, pear and solar notes maybe with little bit a “ old woman” vibe. Great a low key perfume for everyday. I don’t think you can to impress somebody but definitely has some uniqueness.

It's fresh and uplifting, yet also soft and delicate. I'm enjoying the green apple note which feels sweet instead of sour. This is a unique perfume for sure, although I feel it's very easily likeable. Definitely a scent to wear on a beautiful springtime walk

For some reason I’m anosmic to this fragrance. Can’t smell anything or a bad batch? More like anosmia. Some musks cannot detect. Natural reals I can detect. We’ll I’ll keep applying until something comes through.

OK so Kira Kira is a very interesting fragrance. At the beginning you think its not even there, you try to put more on, because you can barely smell it (pear, ambroxan, booze) and its pleasant, so you want more, but then when you wear it regularly it just gets everywhere and it somehow is overpowering. I had to take a break from it as it was just everywhere, on my coat, my clothes. A really good and unusual fragrance but I think its not for the faint hearted. Super interesting and tricky. The ambroxan, the pear and sake definitely predominates. I think it's totally unisex, maybe even good for a blind buy, as it seems so innocent at the beginning.. People might accuse at first that you got them water.. LOL Worth a try! Update: After giving it some rest, I went back to finish the bottle and I just loved it. When it finished (it's only a small 30 ml bottle) I was very sad. This is a great and unusual fragrance, I would buy it again, despite it's high price. I will try the house's other offerings as well.

Opened up boozy fruity with prominent ambroxan presence. Very soft and serene scent. Then spice showed up and added boldness to it. Somehow it could turn sour with certain body chemistry. Perhaps its the musk. It was a sure presence for about two hours on skin and about four on clothings. Then it ghosted out and haunted the clothing area for over twelve hours, showing its scent every once in a while. I read somewhere that this is quite normal for formula with ambroxan to have such behavior, turning noses anosmic and ghosting in and out. For those anosmic to this, maybe try it out after a few day with a softer spray. I find that over-spraying can cause anosmic with other perfumes I normally don’t get anosmic to.

i had high hopes. i read a book by the same name probably 20 years ago - nostalgia. the first time i wore this, i was taken through texture: sparkly pear, a cloud of dense fog, a fluffy sweater of musk. it felt like a memory and seemed like a well intentioned reference to le labo's another 13. the second time i wore this, it was a short-lived sake-soaked mess. perhaps it had to do with body temperature or masceration, but i'm not confident it will become a full bottle purchase.

As others have said there's definitely a similarity here with Another 13, a personal favourite, with ambroxan, pear, ambrette and a hint of mint (although that's not listed in the notes for Another 13 it's definitely in there). This is brighter and greener, though. A cleaner musk with prominent lily of the valley being a key difference. Possibly not one for the dead of winter but I'll definitely get the sample back out come spring.

Smell very nice, very skin scent, unisex, clean, office friendly but the sillage is very very weak. I have to combine with others to make it prominent

Need to test on skin, not safe blind buy. Delicious on me but the dry down is a bit overly musky. Would need reapplication after a few hours.

it’s fresh, yet spicy. a lot like a classic 90s pear fragrance. i really enjoy this, it lasts a long time!

sake, pear, sandalwood - its really nice, complex, fresh. doesn't last too long sadly.

I was so excited when I received my sample of this fragrance. I was a little concerned, however, because I usually can't smell perfumes that contain a large dose of Ambroxan. When I first applied the fragrance I got a strong whiff of alcohol and then a very pretty, gentle pear shampoo scent. After about 10 minutes it got even softer and I could pick up a little of lily of the valley and the musk. Then it just disappeared after about an hour. Or, it disappeared to my nose. Sadly, I am anosmic to this scent. What I could smell was very pretty - but very faint. I think I'm going to just avoid these "molecular skin scents" type fragrances going forwared. They never work out for me.

What a bummer. Was really looking forward to this one. Don't get me wrong, the dry down is a beautiful scent. It opens with a blast of alcohol, you have to wait like 5 or 10 minutes before smelling it because it will numb your senses. The dry down is nice! It's melon-y sweet and tart and musky. But it's barely there, like, this is one of the lightest fragrance I've ever tried and it's such a shame! I think depending on your skin, it could go either way for you. Probably has better projection on paper, which I should try. Overall, a let down. The idea is there and it's nice, but you can't really enjoy it. 4.5/10

You know how people say that La Croix tastes like fruity TV static? This is what kira kira is like to me. Scent profile-wise, it is reminiscent of a fainter, mintier J-Scent Yawahada that is totally drowned out by ambroxan. It has that very synthetic, molecular "clean" smell of Glossier You, but instead of powdery pink pepper/iris, you get a touch of pear and mint that disappears in the blink of an eye. I really enjoy Strangers Parfumerie, but this was a miss for me.

Bought a sample. Faintly sweet, hard to place-- very fresh. Reminds me of the difference between store-bought and home-grown strawberries-- once has a lot more water. Very unoffensive, to the point of being bland. The tiniest hint of musk. Not sure what to make of this, honestly.

Kira Kira stands apart from Prin Lomros’ usual style with its light, almost skin-scent quality. The pear note is tender, musky, and clean—not edible or gourmand. It feels breezy and slightly floral, with a delicacy that makes it quietly beautiful.

This is like a mix of "Not a Perfume" and "Pear Inc" from JHAG but better quality :D if you like those scents, you will probably love this one. I personally do not care for them so I do not really care for this one either.
