Which Should You Buy?
Kashnoir by Laboratorio Olfattivo is a divisive beast. Some adore its powdery, balsamic warmth, proclaiming it a modern classic with incredible performance. Others find it leans too much into baby powder territory or is simply a bit boring and indistinct - a clone of Shalimar, but not quite.
A divisive scent, with some calling it a generic 'bro' fragrance and others hailing its uplifting qualities. If you like sweet, fresh-spicy blends, this might be a surprisingly good shout. Don't expect groundbreaking, but it delivers on approachable charm.
