You’re being stubborn at an Indian restaurant, refusing to eat dinner with your friends, and you’re chewing some pink bubblegum. It’s time for dessert and they go and get some kheer and offer you some, and you’re so hungry that you actually muster the courage to try it. For a moment, you wonder what else you missed out on while you savor the lightly-spiced vanilla rice pudding. Eva Kant by O’Driu.

This smells very medicinal and feels a bit sharp when it first goes on. It settles quickly though, and then I get a lovely, spicy, creamy, woody vanilla. It’s a complex mix, but the notes all work very well together. This is the second O’Driu scent I’ve tried (I have added Pathetique to my stable) and I rather like it. I’m not into assigning a scent to a particular season, but this is another one I could see working better in the cooler months. It’s 30 degrees (Celsius) today and very humid, and although I’m really enjoying the way this has unfolded, it feels a bit heavy for a day like today. Will definitely re-visit this little beauty when summer is over and the cooler weather kicks in. But I’m already thinking full-bottle at some stage.

Of all of the O’drius I’ve tried, Eva Kant remains my favorite. I love that it has the density and sweetness of an Oriental perfume but completely avoids any familiar cliches of that category or any other for that matter. The lavender is well blended into the heart creating a lovely bubblegum floral facet that, until I looked up the notes, I was convinced was the essence of a sweet garden rose. This is my favorite part of the whole experience. If you like vintage perfumes like Mitsouko or L’Heure Bleu but ultimately find them too sad and murky, Eva Kant is worth a try for it’s irresistable purple/fuschia heart. It’s mysterious and addictive and one of those perfumes that creates an entirely unique smell rather than imitating nature.

Eva Kant…
If you are expecting a fresh and citrusy fragrance by looking at the notes, please be careful cause you are about to find an amazing, complex scent, which develops on yor skin step by step.
It opens very strong and opulent. A very strong lime and Lavender come up straight to your nose, but not alone as they are carried by a beautiful, resinous myrrh
The, vanilla embodies this masterpiece bringing some sweetness to you, but not being overpowered nor nauseating – a lovely vanillas accord with lots of spices (ginger too) makes it very sexy.
The drydown is very interesting with a creamy sandalwoo/benzoin facet…
These phases are well connected and constructed… sometimes having intersections between them… as we can see on great perfume creations when facets come back and forth… i call it complexity! Bravo!
Longlasting and powerful, not being overloaded on each note.
An of course we can detect Angelo’s Dna inside it… 😀

From all Angelo Orazio Pregoni creations Eva Kant seems to me maybe the one that stands out as one of the most easiest to approach. Don’t understand me wrong, this is certainly a fragrance that has Angelo written all over it: first, for the use of art in an unconventional way, this time drawing inspiration for a more popular form of art, the comics. Also, it is a fragrance that pays homage to Italy by using a character that has become part of italian popular culture. And, as Angelo Itself, Eva Kant is, with Diabolik, an anti-hero and her fragrance is certainly not a straightfoward interpretation of a woman.
Still, it is the first time i see Angelo creating a scent that even if it’s sold as genderless has such a very direct portrait of feminility. And as the character itself demands, Eva Kant is a complex scent, one that has to be able to show different aspects since we are talking about a master of disguises. So her scent is made to change and evolve its characteristics while you are wearing it and it does deliver what it promises as Eva Kant passes through different olfactory facets you would find in a perfume.
The fragrance starts very hot and sexy, with a proeminent use of what seems like cinnamon and pepper to form a contrast between cold and hot spices. Then, you notice that this is anchored in a bright and lemon like citrus impression, the first moment that alludes to its Italian roots suggesting a secondary mediterrean aura. This is reinforced mainly with a good fresh, slightly soapy and floral green magnolia, which is contrasted by one of the flowers that Angelo uses a lot in his creations, the voluptous and versatile ylang. It is time for another change with Eva Kant showing it’s more maternal side with a very creamy vanilla that makes me think of baked goods filled with vanilla cream. The sandalwood is used here to give a woody nuance and a final contemplative aura to Eva Kant.
In a time where mainstream feminine scents seems to focus its identity more on the advertising trying to appeal many woman with fragrances without a strong personality, Angelo offers an interesting ode to a woman that might have started it’s life on comics as the partner of a brilliant criminal mind but a woman that with time gained its respect, freedom and space. Eva Kant migh be an anti-heroine, but she is true to herself and not boring or incongruous. It’s an interesting take on pop comic art and on the duality of the timeless and always changing soul of the modern woman.

اغواگر، فریبنده، مرموز و دست نیافتنی؛ صفات مناسبی برای شخصیت “اِوا کانت” هستن. زن بلوند و زیبایی که معشوقه و همدست شخصیت اصلی یکی از کامیک بوکهای ایتالیایی بنام “دیابولیک” هست. اِوا کانت زیبا و باهوشه، فریبا و دست نیافتنی و فراتر از همه ی این موارد؛ نیروی درونی شگفت انگیزی داره که اونو قادر به شکست دادن یه ارتش میکنه.
لایه های مختلف اوا کانت که از زنی زیبا و افسونگر در ظاهر، به شخصیتی قدرتمند و طغیانگر در باطن تبدیل میشه و علاوه بر همه ی اینها مانند هر انسانی در پنهان ترین و دست نیافتنی ترین لایه های شخصیتی؛ باتمام وجود احساس تعلق و دلبستگی به یک نفر رو داره؛ به طرز خیره کننده و اعجاب انگیزی در عطر “اوا کانت”؛ ساخته آنجلو اورازیو؛ با هم ترکیب شدن. اونچه که اورازیو در این عطر به نمایش میذاره؛ رایحه ای فراتر از اِوا کانت در داستان دیابولیک هست. اوا کانتِ آنجلو، عصاره ای پیچیده و در هم تنیده شده از وجوه هر زنی هست که میتونه مثل اِوا کانت خواهران “گیوسانی”، اغواگر، فریبا، مرموز و دست نیافتنی باشه.
عطر در فضایی آزمایشگاه مانند، پر از بوی دارو و ضدعفونی کننده باز میشه که کم کم فضای گورمند و شیرینی به اون اضافه میشه و خودش رو بر کار مسلط میکنه. این خوشمزگی شیرین، حالتی سوخته و دودی داره که حاصل از همراهی وانیل و بنزویینه و به زیبایی با فضای دارویی- آزمایشگاهی همراه میشه تا با اضافه شدن بستری گیاهی و کمی تلخ، اغواگریِ اسرار آمیز و چند لایه ی خودش رو به اوج برسونه.
اوا کانت افسونگر و پیچیده به زیبایی بر همین مدار سِیر میکنه و بعد از تعویض حالت تلخ گیاهی پس زمینه با یه حس پودری ضعیف؛ فضای گورمندِ شیرین، صمغی و دودی و آزمایشگاهی- دارویی حاکم بر عطر رو در پایه ای دودی و خاکستر گرفته ادغام می کنه تا اوا کانت افسونگر و مرموز؛ روی خشن و مبارز خودش رو نشون بده.
برای تجسم فضای این عطر؛ اونچه که تاکنون در نوشته هام از فضاهای دودی، دارویی، گیاهی، پودری و گورمند گفتم رو فراموش کنید. اوا کانت یه عطر جسور و بی پرواست که از افسونگری بی رحمانه هیچ ابایی نداره؛ همچنانکه از انفجار و شلیک و آتش افروزی و مبارزه واهمه ای نداره.
این پیچیدگی ناب رو اورازیو در اوا کانت خودش به شکل هنرمندانه ای “تلفیق” کرده و حس شهوانی و دلربای پودری و خواستنی عطر؛ با محصور شدن در فضایی آزمایشگاهی و خاکستر گرفته، بسیار دست نیافتنی و محال به نظر میرسه. اوا کانت اورازیو داستان هر زنی میتونه باشه: زنانی که با تمام وجود تعلق خاطر دارن و از هیچ نبردی دریغ نمی کنن تا اونچه که میخوان؛ “تنها برای من” باشه…

There are perfumes that are nice and other perfumes that are bewitching. This one is bewitching and unlike any other perfume I’ve smelled. It’s intriguing and mysterious. Mercifully, given the price, it’s quite strong and long lasting so a little will go a long way. This one just tickles something in my brain and transports me to a different place. I’m looking for a truly special perfume and this may be it. It’s not a typical perfume and that is a large part of its appeal for me.

I have this on today- my first time –
The beginning had my mind racing–
What is this?
Do I know it ?
Do i not know it ??
Do i want to know it?
Well, yes.
It was smelling a tad familiar (lavender-vanilla swirl) and I thought of
Kiki, by vero–
As if it were struck by lightning, has an ‘electric’ pulse
(the metallic-ether-fresh smell of an actual zap)
Its hard to pinpoint exactly
Its somewhat medicinal but also sweet
is upfront and outward
Hits from all sides
Some toffee popcorn in there
and soda pop
…and pink bubblegum …
drive in movie anyone?
Provocative

I’ve never smelled such a clashing soup of everything. Basing on the inpiration I was expecting something beautiful, intriguing and boldly sexy instead I got something so unpleasand I immediately had to wash it off. Too bad it was so longlasting probably given by the low quality synthetics in bombastic concentration, that I had to rub and wash off several times to get rid of this stuff.
Sorry but I was so deceived this is definitely my first and last try from O’Driu.

Eva Kant opens in a very complex way. Citrus & ginger notes, but also spices like cardamom appear very quickly and are quite strong. After the spices, the sweetness appears in the form of myrrh, vanilla and ylang. The rougher benzoin serves as a steady base together with sweet woods. The drydown is mostly sweet myrrh, vanilla, ylang and a load of other sweet notes on a patchouli base. There is also something animalic in there that is very appealing.
Sillage is soft to moderate, longevity moderate.
This scent didn’t wow me on the tester strip, but the bottle nozzle smelled very interesting and I decided to test on skin. Wow! It bloomed immediately with lovely spicy notes and becoming quite sweet later on. I love the combination. There is something very appealing in this mix! On the want-list.

Loved this perfume from the moment I smelled it. This is the 3rd perfume I have tried by O’Driu – and two, the other is Peety, are in my top 5 favorites. Beyond the sense of smell, they connect on a subliminal level. I feel like the best version of myself when I am wearing them.
Most people describe this one as an oriental with top notes of grapefruit, lavender and wood. I would describe it as the perfume of my inner self. I encourage you to read a marvelous review by kafkaesque which expresses my experience with it more eloquently and with more detail than I can. Find it by googling kafkaesqueblog – Eva Kant.
Angelo Pregoni is a self proclaimed perfume artist who uses fragrance as his palette. He definitely created a work that ties into my subconscious. Eva Kant, like the character that inspired the scent, is my alter-ego. Will you marry me Mr. Pregoni? (or should I call you Diabolik)

Sharp, zingy grapefruit and tonnes of cardamom! Like I’m snorting the stuff!
The citrus is accented by a lemony myrrh and green, spicy ginger. It gets progressively more creamy in texture as it wears down and the citrus becomes enveloped in a buttery benzoin and vanilla.
It’s definitely an attention grabber, especially that citrus/cardamom bomb of an opening, but I’m not sure if I’d feel comfortable wearing this. It’s almost aggressively tart, a bit like disinfectant.
I much prefer “D600” by Carner. Similar composition, but much more powdery, soft and subdued.

A peculiar sequence of powder, citrus, and herbs starts Eva Kant off with a candy-like quality that’s destabilized by a plasticy-herbal accord. It’s neither unpleasant nor pleasant; instead, it’s mainly confusing as the scent wants to pull you in several directions at once. Fortunately it sorts itself out fast and settles into sweetened myrrh with distant chimes of lavender, citrus, and something that smells like bay leaf. Once it hits this stage, things become subdued—both in force, but also in interest. Even though it’s a fairly spindly composition, something about it seems off-kilter as there’s a war going on between the sweetness and the notes that reference O’Driu’s earlier reliance on apothecary herbs. In this respect, Eva Kant feels like a bridge between the O’Driu of the past and some of the most recent releases.
But this particular bridge is rickety. Eva Kant is a scent that doesn’t quite come together in the way that Pregoni’s past work has. Even though a clear attempt was made to align the elements, they just don’t cohere in a way that’s either daring or complimentary. On the one hand, it’s as if the scent wants to do something blindingly original but is afraid to get its feet wet; yet, on the other hand, it’s too ugly to aesthetically redeem itself in any meaningful way. For me, the combination of savory / herbal with gourmand-ish aspects was similarly botched in Piguet’s Oud as well as MiN’s Botanist, and while it’s tamer here, it’s just as displeasing. After a while, this smells like a rough draft of Armani’s nasty saccharine-bomb, Myrrh Impériale, that’s been soaking in the kitchen sink with a bunch of unwashed dishes for a few days. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever smelled from Pregoni (the guy was very prolific early on and made some real clunkers), but it’s somewhere in the bottom 30% or so. If you’re curious about this line, look back to scents like Allegradonna, JMT, and Lalfeogrigio to get a better sense of what he can do.

oh my… the vanilla, grapefruit, Ginger, Lavender, Benzoin, & Myrrh are creating a disaster mix when first sprayed! it’s like a sparkling lime drink with bunch of used sweet bonbons sunken in it! sweet and sour. it’s like a child who has a bag full of bonbons, and he opens one, taste it, then drops it in that drink, & kept doing this for a while.
mainly the Vanilla, ginger, and a very bitter citrus is causing that disturbing effect!
after it calms down the smell of vanilla ginger soda raise up clearly. it’s like that drink’s stain on a cotton sheet
it is something new as i personally love bizarre smells but i dislike the smell of saliva as i honestly feel it’s there already.

Another O’driu, another shoulder shrug. Somebody in Perfumeland, USA isn’t gonna like me for this but Eva Kant borderline sucks! I’m here to unpack this bag of mediocrity to show you what I’ve discovered. Just a side note to others: In the future, don’t fall for the ubiquitous phrase of “It’s so well made.” My opening was slightly different than what others have experienced. My observation was met with an herbal touch which came off as a honeyed Ricola cough drop. The ylang ylang was also noticeably present on my skin which provided the fleshly pulpy asset to this composition. The lemon plays a significant role as it keeps the myrhh and benzoin from becoming too oriental. If it weren’t for the lavender, I would deem this a feminine scent. If I can find one positive thing to say about Eva, it would be it’s cashmere texture found in the drydown. Longevity is 1hr 30min and a projection that’s neither pleasingly good nor savory for that matter. In the end, this is not a fragrance that I wanna be in a real relationship with. I’m not even sure if I want to keep this one in the friend zone. Angelo Orazio Pregoni is one fragrance away from being labeled overrated in my book.
UPDATE: I take back everything i said about Pregoni being overrated. He created some new stuff that’s just………WOW! With that being said, it still doesn’t change my view on Eva Kant.

Eva the perfume all hinges on the juxtaposition of a bitter spiciness layered over a soft creamy base. The former composed of lemongrass, bitter grapefruit oil from the skin of the fruit with a soapyness from the cardamom, I guess the listed lavender plays in this accord by didn’t feel too prominent. This all is feels volatile and expansive. The second side is driven by the resins and vanilla, it sits closer and denser, sweet, slightly powdery and creamy.
Over Eva’s progression the focus shifts from the bitter side to the soft base. But things never feel entirely harmonious, their is an interesting interplay between the two at all times almost a combination of avant and classical. If we’re talking music think Walk This Way by Run DMC and Aerosmith. Very late drydown turns mostly to vanilla. Projection is moderate/good and longevity +8 hours. After a few wears now I’m liking this very much.
