Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent, Kismet aims for sophisticated woody-spicy allure at a budget price, but inconsistent performance reports mean it's a bit of a gamble. Some hail it as a masterpiece; others curse its fleeting nature.
This is a beautiful, understated amber that's sadly a bit of a performance lottery. If you grab an older bottle, you're in for a treat; the new ones just don't hit the same, and the faint sillage really lets down a cracking scent profile.
