   Everyone keeps talking about Kinski, so I finally gave it a proper test. That first spray gives a lovely Castoreum/Juniper impression that dries down smoothly. The very first sniff is crisp Castoreum with Juniper peeking through, very much my kind of start. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. Pleasant, though I would not call it essential.

   A decant of Kinski sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. As it settles, Vetiver and Woodsy Notes come through and give it real depth. The heart is the best part for me: cannabis and Sea water feel carefully balanced. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   Everyone keeps talking about Kinski, so I finally gave it a proper test. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into cannabis with Sea water, which is where the fragrance really shines. As it settles, Vetiver and Woodsy Notes come through and give it real depth. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Kinski. The opening is built around Castoreum and Juniper — bright and immediately recognizable. As it settles, Vetiver and Woodsy Notes come through and give it real depth. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

   I picked up Kinski (2011) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into cannabis with Sea water, which is where the fragrance really shines. The drydown leans on Vetiver plus Woodsy Notes and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

   My first Kinski experience was this one, Kinski (2011). As it settles, Vetiver and Woodsy Notes come through and give it real depth. The first minutes are all about Castoreum with a hint of Juniper — it grabs attention without being pushy. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   Picked up a sample of Kinski after reading the community buzz (2011). The heart is the best part for me: cannabis and Sea water feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into cannabis with Sea water, which is where the fragrance really shines. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. Pleasant, though I would not call it essential.

   Everyone keeps talking about Kinski, so I finally gave it a proper test. The opening is built around Castoreum and Juniper — bright and immediately recognizable. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into cannabis with Sea water, which is where the fragrance really shines. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

    For a 2011 release, Kinski deserves more attention than it gets. Right away I get mostly Castoreum alongside Juniper, fresh and very easy to wear.

    For a 2011 release, Kinski deserves more attention than it gets. The base rests on Vetiver and Woodsy Notes — warm, grounded and easy to live with. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into cannabis with Sea water, which is where the fragrance really shines. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

    I’ve been wearing Kinski on and off for a few weeks now (2011). That first spray gives a lovely Castoreum/Juniper impression that dries down smoothly. Right away I get mostly Castoreum alongside Juniper, fresh and very easy to wear. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

The base rests on Vetiver and Woodsy Notes — warm, grounded and easy to live with. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.
