NIKOLA2510 – :
To speak about Kriska is to speak about the history of Brazilian perfumery. Kriska was released in 1995 (by Haarmann & Reimer, current Symrise) and was part of the lives of thousands of Brazilian women, who bet on its power and its floral content. As well as a lot of imported and much more expensive scents from that the time, Kriska was known to be of type “love it or hate it”. Over the years, received some variations, such as Kriska Brilho and Kriska Frésia, but the most famous flanker was Kriska Jeans.
In 2013, Natura decided to relaunch the Kriska line with new packaging and new bottles. The bottle from before, flat and with creases, won curved shapes and paintings in gradient. The lid, which simulated a rose, became more modern and even more beautiful, very close to the desired shape. Today, when we look at the translucent bottles and see the inner tube of the spray joining the spray and the lid, we have the impression that we’re seeing a flower in a vase.
At the time, the company disclosed that the fragrance remained unchanged and that the news wouldn’t be just this, because a new fragrance was released simultaneously: Kriska Liberdade (Freedom), which was created by Verônica Kato and Domitille Bertier, from IFF. Even so, the ghost of the reformulation is disclosed until today, albeit unofficial. However, we must remember that the audience has the habit of confusing repackaging (visual change) with reformulation (formula/composition change).
Kriska’s composition has, officially, notes of pineapple, Plum, green accord, blackberry, bergamot, cardamom, cassis, apricot, orange blossom, peach, galbanum and osmanthus, just on the output. Then, in the body of the fragrance, we have notes of Freesia, gardenia, carnation, hyacinth, jasmine, tuberose, Lily of the Valley, rose and ylang-ylang. But wait, it’s not over yet! We have the base with notes of amber, vanilla, benzoin, cedar, labdanum, tonka bean, musk, patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver.
On the skin, Kriska has always been powerful, controversial and mutant. Some say the tuberose is stronger and the powdery smell is very much alive; some people feel more the fruit nuances; there are those who feel a green and floral smell and some people feel a very sweet and nauseating smell.
And the truth is, reformulated or not, the fragrance sold today is no longer the same. The formula may not have changed, but the ingredients are not the same from that time. In the 90’s, Kriska arrived in the environment minutes before its user get in. Who abused of the quantity back then, may not know it, but traumatized many young women of nowadays. On the other hand, the fragrance of today is distant from being hated by someone.
On the skin, once sprayed, reminded me of Flower by Kenzo. But in a moment, new nuances have emerged and the floral aspect merged with the fruity notes, with much evidence for the cassis and the apricot. The galbanum must still be there, because it is notable a bitterness that lasts for a long time. About twenty minutes later, the floral side begins to be more alive, while the fragrance begins to be more lenient. In that phase, I feel ylang-ylang and tuberose, along with a powdery aroma, which begins to appear. Finally, the base is sweet, but nothing too loaded in vanilla. And the amber is also quite noticeable.
Kriska continues projecting very well, but calms down faster than in the past. In terms of longevity, went from 8 hours on my skin and I think it could have lasted longer if I had applied a larger volume of perfume. But the output is still a little scary, like it used to be. So I preferred to be cautious.
Currently, Kriska has new versions available: Beleza (limited edition), Atitude, Descoberta, Encanto e Liberdade, cited earlier. People who liked, but used to be afraid, can test it again and, who knows, be surprised.

This review is actually for the original formula of Kriska, launched in 1995, I am not sure if they have changed it in 2013.
To me it is a very vanilla-rose fragrance, sweet and floral. It could be a little overpowering, but it is silky and comfortable. It is meant for teenagers, but I find it a tad mature, though.
On my skin it really resembles Lady Vengeance, from Juliette has a gun, although it was launched way before this Romano Ricci creation.
Incredible staying power and sillage. Very good projection.
