Ella K Parfums Cri Du Kalahari is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Sonia Constant. Cri Du Kalahari opens with Iris and Pepper, settles into a heart of Cedar and Baobab, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Patchouli. Ella K Parfums's Cri Du Kalahari carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is divisive, with some finding it a high-quality, creamy woody scent, while others complain about synthetic notes and a 'nail polish remover' vibe. Definitely sample before you commit.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a sharp kick of iris and pepper, Cri Du Kalahari quickly shifts into a dry, woody heart. The mysterious baobab note blends with cedar to evoke a sense of arid landscape. The dry-down settles into a creamy, smooth sandalwood and earthy patchouli, creating a warm, lasting impression of wood in the desert.
