Kiste

Previous version of Kiste had very generous amount of honey and that appeared quite clearly on my skin. Peach, tobacco, herbs and spices were all just a background and gave it a story played behind. The main player and star of the show was honey and its animalic nature came out on me. It instantly reminded me of good old chypre classic YSL Kouros, in which honey was one of the key ingredients. In Kiste there is some creamy, fruity background added to it and spices. I didn't find it as spicy as Mond is, therefore I liked it way less. The drydown and the late base is soft, mellow tobacco on woodsy shed. In general Kiste is a wee plush and maybe even cozy. Longevity seems to be above average, so is sillage. As in all Slumberhouse I know. Overall? Okay. Just okay.

Raisins and tobacco.

Have you ever heard the song Peaches by Presidents of The United States of America? (yes, the band name is weird.) Because upon wearing this, I was compelled to sing, repeatedly, the closing refrain to the song: millions of peaches, peaches for me It. Is. PEACHES. Dark syrupy peaches. Beautiful peaches. Honey thick peaches. Mmmmm. (Okay, full disclosure, peaches are one of my favorite fruits and I really like the smell.) But I don't think that I can quite wear this as a perfume. It just isn't quite me.

This house doesn't impress me much because of it's too heavy too dark stamps that stamps on each of their fragrances. Kiste is quite acceptable in my opinion, it is the tobacco, peaches on a plate made of honey. As time goes by the tobacco remains still but the peaches melts within the honey plate and becomes CRYSTAL CLEAR prints on the honey plate while the tobacco remains sharp on top of the plate and never melts or reforms, & that effect of the peaches and honey gives the impressions of the fruit note. Quite heavy at max but very accepted. (Edit 5th Feb) Wow, never thought that it could be possible, but this fragrance is quite inspired of Hedonist By Viktoria Minya, let's say Kiste is More of Peach & Tobacco and Hedonist is more soft and tenderly honey peaches. and to be specific, the Top notes smells quite similar but the middle and base note goes different ways, as Kiste remains strong & powerful while Hedonist goes light and greeny. Personally i prefer Kiste.

Peach is definitely one of my favorite fruits, and also when it comes to ice tea, candy and desserts. And this is no exception. Marvellous peachy fragrance, with all the other notes just slightly making it through, creating some of the most interesting scents I've had in a long time. Kudos to the brilliant perfumer!
