This one reminds me of Nagel’s fragances. A citrus accord + freesia + musks. Well, it’s a nice cologne, not an eau de parfum. I can’t understand the hype…

This one surprised me. Starts off like Terre d’Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche, then a bit later it becomes more floral/creamy-like (kind of like the smell from Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme). 🙂

Reminds me of zoologist dragonfly- slightly green and citrus but warm. Dragonfly is warmer and hovers ( and has other notes going on)
This is not earth shattering but it’s good. Not what I expected from the notes or the reviews.
It’s defin light. 2 sprays and it’s got almost no Projection an hour later, I have to get my now 1” away to smell anything.
The opening 3 min went from bright lemon to a chocolate-like nutty scent.
It then oscillates between those 2 polar directions for a bit then settles down to a very light warm citrus. Not sweet but the nutty softens up the edges, with a base of light musk.
I’m not impressed. It’s easy and elegant but nothing like what I was hoping for when I splurged for this expensive decant.
Dragonfly is more interesting imo.

It is interesting if you stop to think that the Margiela Replica fragrances and the perfumes of Memo Paris have something in common that is worked in just opposite ways: the concept of memories. Although both are a cured collection of memories, when looking at more collective memories the brand Margiela obtained a more distinguished result even in the “weak” members of the collection. Memo,otherwise, while composing inspirations from exotic memories of places around the world, offers perfumes inconsistent with the vibrant aura that is painted in the descriptions.
Kedu is a typical perfume of the brand, without many surprises. Like Luxor Oud, Kedu sells us an olfactory composition that would convey the exoticism of its description. The name of the creation is a reference to a fertile volcanic plain that sits on the island of Java in Indonesia. If you look at the description on the website, you will see that they fitted the maximum of exotic and passionate descriptors that would be possible in a short paragraph: Volcanoes, Rhinos, Giant Flowers, Buffaloes, Temples, Passion Encounters. The mention of absolute mate and sesame seeds helps to reinforce this impression and tropical expectations.
If you pay careful attention to the description of the site, you will notice two words thrown in the middle of the text almost like a subliminal message: white musks and a peony-rose accord. It is they who define in reality what Kedu is , which I imagine as the equivalent of creating an olfactory memory of Indonesia based on the products and perfumes sold in the free-shop there. It is a very thin vision, a cultural appropriation that is not even well made. Kedu sells you a soft and lightly woody perfume of musks that is built upon a fresh and citrus floral aura. I do not understand, why the hell do you use two raw materials exotic and as rich as the absolute sesame and the mate in such a tedious perfume? And what’s more, in a concept that had everything to be exciting? Kedu to me is like those souvenirs we get when people come back from the trip: disposable, the kind that we put in the back of the closet and do not throw away just for the consideration of the person who gave us.

Very pleasant scent of white musk, slight hint of rose and citrus and sweet. All year round day and unisex, but more towards female.

Very sweet to my nose 🙂 All I get is a chocolatey smell… I don’t get it!! Maybe the sesame?

Just when I thought I have smelled enough fresh musk perfumes, in comes Kedu.
When I try Kedu, the citrus and musk are the first notes I detect and I confidently think “oh I know this one”. It is refreshing and pleasant. It’s only citrus-vanilla-musk, nothing new. But there is more beneath the surface within this perfume…The more I smell it, it becomes more interesting. Behind the citrus and musk is an unfamiliar, sensuous and even exotic smell with nutty nuances(im guessing sesame from the note list), tea like, warm and floral. Complex, developing better with time and really shinning later on. Now it has my full attention!
This perfume is like meeting someone new and during the conversation, noticing the person has a slight accent that is not local; Or noticing the persons features and assuming they are of mixed race. This perfume is casual, light, yet certainly entertaining. A perfect mix of the ordinary with a touch of exotic.
Longevity is great, clings on fabric and stays on skin. Kedu is An understated beauty and underrated perfume that I need have!

Walking44, you are not being over dramatic, this IS the best fragrance I have ever smelled too!!!
To me it smells nutty and milky and fresh overall, but… BUT oh my God, it’s gorgeous! It does not resemble anything else at all ( and I have smelled and worn a lot of fragrances in my life!). It is simply beautiful.

I hope I’m not being over dramatic but this is THE best fragrance I’ve ever smelled! Like plain wow. Strikingly, gorgeous, vanilla-musk. The sesame seed works perfectly and adds an exotic, asian, vibe. Like almond bubble tea. Compliments are through the roof!

On me, this is a nearly-not-there scent. It’s very nice and I like it, but it’s so faint, it’s hard to even pinpoint particular notes. Mostly it smells of woody Iris with fizzy citrus and white musk. I really like it a lot, even as faint as it shows on me. A lovely summer iris scent.

This is a fragrance that you must try, not “read”. It can’t be simply described by the notes listed on the pyramid. Its very unique! and gorgeous! It smells somehow warm and sweet; and a bit kind of nutty..
On the top, the citruses are perfectly blended and tamed, and after a while, the hearts start to ring joyously. I can’t really feel the floral notes but it does present. It ring harmoniously with the base. I found it sweet and slightly nutty,(I think its from the sesame .this is the first sesame frag. I’ve ever found). The sesame notes is not kind of “sesame oil” you may find in the Asian dish, as this one a lot richer, warmer and slightly sweeter.
I like its dry down the most. very gentle but still rich. I can feel the musk here.. At this stage, the projection is weak, but it stay on your skin. very beautiful! I can’t resist myself from keep sniffing my wrist..
