I SMELL SO GOOD

I mean, where should I even start? I have been a Kismet fan since the start. For the longest time, I got multiples of the sample packs because I couldn't decide which one to go with. I have finally settled on The Poet and Studio Scent as my go-to perfumes. The Poet is especially a great unisex scent that my husband sometimes uses as well! I get soooo many compliments on it. If I want something a bit lighter/fruity, I go with Studio Scent. The 10ml sizes are great to put into your makeup bag, btw!

love at first smell

xi, CO. Tested it and was immediately obsessed. Didn’t smell anything else, walked out of the store and talked about it for hours. Eventually got it for Christmas and wear it on special occasions!

Soul fragrance

Around this time last year I blind bought a bottle of “The Poet”. At the time life had thrown some curve balls my way and this was my way of doing something for myself. As soon as I spritz it onto my skin something about it felt so warm, nostalgic yet sad all at the same time.

Imagine you’re a child again putting on your grandfathers coat. Around the air closest to your face you can still smell his lingering cologne clinging to the fabric. Frustratingly your hair moves to cover your eyes as you struggle to put the oversized jacket on. You go to move the stray hair from your face and the citrus fruit your grandmother gave you earlier still linger on your finger tips. In the other room you can hear the gentle hum of people chatting. As you go to move away from the noise you can feel a soft warm breeze pushing the sent of the fresh cut flowers from the kitchen into the front room. You know you shouldn’t be playing with other people’s things but something about it feels exciting. After a few moments that rush of adrenaline wears off and you’re left with the sullenness of knowing you need to return your new treasure to its rightful place. You take one lingering glance around to make sure no one saw you and you gingerly put it back the garment back on the wooden coat rack. In that moment you don’t think anything of this encounter. Years pass and this becomes nothing more than a distant memory you can no longer recollect. Life happens and the minuscule moments of your childhood slowly fade into the background as other things take precedence. When you’re alone and you’re at your most vulnerable you allow yourself to reminisce on nothing more than vague memories.

This fragrance is like that. It’s nostalgia for those minuscule yet loving moment that you can’t remember. It’s a sense of content that you feel deep in your bones mixed with the melancholy of knowing it won’t last. It’s being filled with bitterness over loosing someone you loved yet deep down knowing they didn’t love in the ways you needed them to.

This fragrance has spoken to my souls in a way that has made me feel the most myself. I genuinely hope if you stumble upon this sent in the same way I did it has the same momentous effect for you as it has had on me.

This is a beautiful, streamlined take on a traditional men's fragrance profile. Performance is great. Longevity is, too. It's really a stunning fragrance!

The Poet

I first came across The Poet from Kismet Olfactive whilst wandering round a shop in downtown San Luis Obispo, California last autumn. Now that spring has arrived, I felt it was high time to acquire a bottle of this gorgeous eau de parfum for myself. The ordering process was simple and it arrived very quickly. And I certainly appreciated the 10% discount as a first-time customer. It was قسمت (kismet) indeed that I encountered The Poet!

The Poet

I love this fragrance so much, I’m going to buy the bigger bottle. It goes on really fresh and dries down into this very sexy, cozy, and slightly masculine scent. It’s a “your skin but better and sexier” scent. Like your rolling over to your partner’s side of the bed and inhaling their scent from the pillow they laid on. It’s beautiful and perfect for anyone!

The Poet

Love love love. More interesting than a "my skin but better" but has the same soft-ish quality that draws people to those types of fragrances. The ambroxan is strong when I first spray it, but the dry down is a super smooth androgynous amber vibe that makes me feel warm and grounded without being sweet or overly feminine.

My new favorite scent!

My new favorite scent! I've used it as a perfume, spritzed it on books and journals, and spritzed some on my bed before going to bed. It brings a calmness to your senses and develops beautifully over time.

This perfume is perfect for the poet! It smells delicious: musky

This perfume is perfect for the poet! It smells delicious: musky, but also sweet (not too sweet at the same time). Gender neutral and subtle. I can't wait to wear it to my next event!

If I could give this a 10/10 I would. Seriously this might be my new signature scent. The scent profile is very interesting and complex. If you love Amber notes in a fragrance then you’ll love this. This does have a cologne-ish smell and leans slightly masculine but not overly so. It is still unisex in my opinion. The musk gets balanced out by the sweet floral smell of the lily and warm, woody, spicy scent of frankincense. The grapefruit adds something very subtle in the background of it all. Overall this scent is woody, spicy, slightly sweet - but not in a gourmand sugary dessert way - It’s sweet in the way only a lily could be.
