Irina Budkina, letter
“With Kenya, I, an anxious person by nature, become so calm and confident that I surprise myself. I feel so calm and good, I feel so brave that nothing scares me at all and I can take on anything. It makes you believe there really are magic potions in this world.”
Imlah, Kosmetista, 2017
“I don't smell that. There are no herbs or shrubs there at all, although the fragrance is pleasant: I smell cinnamon, clove and a rather ‘flat’, sour vetiver, a few spices. No sillage, longevity about three hours…”
Gretta, La Parfumerie, “Aromatnoe pismo” (Fragrance Letter), 2017
“A pleasant scent of dry herbs with light touches of spice.”

“amber tenderness, herbs, the strength of wood, the sweetness of honey. Very cosy.”
Dianabuj, La Parfumerie, “Aromatnoe pismo” (Fragrance Letter), 2017
“a really intriguing scent, I can't figure it out. Dry herbs, hot sun and all-pervading galbanum. In the base, woody and incense accords sing along; you want to breathe them in and enjoy their interplay. Unusual and exotic.”
Appolo, La Parfumerie, “Aromatnoe pismo” (Fragrance Letter), 2017
“a dense scent of steppe grasses, but not our Crimean or Krasnodar ones: super grasses. Towering, lush, saturated with light and the rich juices of the earth. From back when poor Africa was flourishing and strong. Barely noticeable hints of nuts and animal fur. A pleasant fragrance, as if I had been on a journey.”
Frangi, La Parfumerie, “Aromatnoe pismo” (Fragrance Letter), 2017
“The most alluring for me turned out to be Kenya and Mandragora. I adore this kind of woodiness and leather... and moss..)) of course they're masculine, but they fascinate me, I'd wear them myself)) especially Kenya”
Elena Sukhanova, VK community “Parfposidelki”
“oriental, spicy.”
Tatiana Pervushina, VK community “Parfposidelki”
“dry herbs, then wildflowers join in, too perfumey.”
Maria Demidova, VK community “Parfposidelki”
“Pleasant steppe grasses, tea with cinnamon, hot sand, my beloved galbanum, everything is well put together. The only thing: the longevity isn't great.”
