Since 1996, when the original fragrance was released, the Kaiak collection still leads the rankings of Brazilian men’s fragrances. Now, almost 20 years after the arrival of Kaiak on the market, followed by some versions, arise Kaiak Expedição, a limited edition designed to represent the explorer man in expeditions that begin at sunrise and that end only when it goes down.
Inspired by the elements of Earth and Air, it has a fougère-woody composition, with top notes of bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, aqueous accord and a synthetic compound called Dihydro Myrcenol (which reinforces the citrus nuances). In the body of the fragrance, notes of lavender, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, geranium and violet. Finally, it the base, notes of sandalwood, musk, cedarwood, amber, patchouli, moss, tonka bean, cashmere wood, hardwood and cypriol (also known as Nagarmotha).
In the first test, I did not like. The fragrance was very mossy and green, with an old school aspect, which I like, but I didn’t expect to find in a fragrance with such concept. In the second time I wore it, other notes were presented and a woody side came up and I enjoyed more the result. Still, I miss the spices that live in the heart of the fragrance. Notes like cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg don’t usually play at work. But in Kaiak Expedição, it seems to me that they took off. The fougère aspect is very clean and the base of moss, cedar and woods is quite remarkable. And with respect to the projection and durability, I have nothing to complain about.
To sum up, I think this is a good fragrance within a wrong concept. In my opinion, it’s not youthful as I expected, especially when I held the bottle, with its brown tones, which have given me an idea of a woody fragrance. Is much more for a classic that should have been released in another line, for more distinct and formal men.
I certify that worth knowing, but don’t be fooled: the man of Kaiak Expedição combines more with a suit than with boots, helmet and carabiner.
To close this review, the bottle is still the same, keeping the visual identity of the Kaiak collection.
