Kaffir starts really green and leafy, like freshly moaned grass, but this monotone of green cleanness doesn’t last more than 5 seconds. Soon there’s a bang, sweet, natural zest orange comes in, with a little bit hint of nice rubber glove smell. The start makes think about my mum having a spring clean — wearing rubber gloves and cleaning home with citrusy scented detergent, don’t take me wrong, I don’t feel the ‘eww, that’s the cheap nasty lemon dishwashing detergent’; maybe because of the quality of the ingredients, I feel that it is actually a clean, comfy sensation.
After about 5 minutes, it settles down to something closer to lime, but with more refreshing sweetness. It smells just like the lime skin, zest, cleanness, sweet in an optimistic way. It feels like sipping Gin & Tonic, and inhaling a LOT of lime scent.
As the perfume oil gradually loses its zest, and optimistic cirtrusy taste, an old burnt essential oil in burner with warm water kinda smell emerges (is this Anya’s signature base? Or it’s just something with pure oil blend?). I can’t really smell leather, or maybe the old essential oil smell supposes to be the leather? I wouldn’t say it’s a chypre, nor will I ever think Kaffir has anything really make me think of typical wood. I would call it citrusy aromatic in a slightly darker shade.
Even thought Kaffir doesn’t give me the ‘wow’, it’s still worth trying, it’s really comfortable to wear it, and especially if you have some sensitive days when you can’t stand any synthetic chemicals or you’ve got some sensitive co-workers, you might find your scent from Anya’s Garden, who would hate nice aroma therapy kinda scent?
