I bought a fragrance fitting from Luckyscent. I told them i was nuts about two things: Niki de Saint Phalle, and vetiver.
so they picked out some samples and I grabbed one at random and put it on, and
I *specifically* said that I was looking for a perfume that ran counter to Calvin Klein Obsession. i imagined that saying that to a thinking person who is also a perfume expert, that would mean that i wasn't looking for ambery sweet powdery patchouli vanilla stuff. that i was looking for something challenging, unsafe, a little zany.
Kismet smells like a cross between Obsession and its grandmother, Shalimar. EXACTLY WHAT I SAID I DIDN'T WANT!
and i mean, for what it's trying to be, it's doing a very good job. I'm in the center of a powdery amber resin and vanilla cloud, with a little bit of pothead patchouli but nothing unsafe. If i really wanted to remember how much my high school experience was like a John Hughes movie, this is a great pick. but it is not what i asked for. it is what i specifically said I didn't want.
So my annoyance may be coloring my review. minus ten points from Luckyscent on their fragrance fitting so far!
Now how do I wash this stuff off?
