Kama
by Farmacia SS. Annunziata

This is a nice scent: a soft rose and a smooth musk. The petit grain of the opening lasts for just seconds, and I get no grapefruit at all... this opening part of its performance could stand to be better. Kama has a powdery musk and a nearly non-existent rose as its basic accord. Smelled as sillage I get a lot of powder… Smelled close to the skin I get an oily note that smells like it shouldn’t be there; this note is possibly caused by the patchouli or the ambergris or perhaps by the combination of the two. The musk and rose are quite feminine to my nose and create an aura that reminds me more of makeup more than of anything else. If you don’t smell it too close to the skin, Kama is a pretty fragrance. It is smoother and more refined than… say, Kiehl’s Original Musk, but it just doesn’t come off to me as very impressive.

Rose and musk. And then just musk. And a little patchouli. There's not much to this scent and it's not as interesting as the others from this house. It's a very rich and good musky note, I will give it that much.
