Our take

What does Kirke smell like?

Launched in 2015 by the Italian house Tiziana Terenzi, Kirke borrows its name from Circe, the enchantress of the Odyssey, and shares her pull. Its extrait concentration gives it remarkable density. The opening is a burst of fruit, with passion fruit, peach, pear, raspberry and cassis in a juicy, tangy, almost tropical mix. The heart, carried by a discreet lily of the valley, adds a transparent floral note. The base of musk, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla and heliotrope lays down a woody, powdery softness that carries the fruit for hours. The result is a modern fruity chypre, highly diffusive, that evokes a cocktail on a terrace at sunset.

When to wear it

Warm days, evenings or nights out; it suits fans of intense, long-lasting fruity scents of any gender.

VerdictA spectacular, tenacious fruity scent, but its power can quickly overwhelm those around you.

It belongs to the Chypre, Fruity family. Kirke is one of 1 creations by Tiziana Terenzi in our encyclopedia.
