Amber Kiso
Amber Kiso by DS & Durga is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cedarwood, incense and cypress, moves into maple, patchouli and iris and dries down to hinoki, leather and oakmoss. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Heart
- Maple Dark, syrupy and slightly smoky. Rich and unusual.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Dry-down
- Hinoki Japanese cypress. Lemony, calm and spa-like.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
