House of Matriarch Kazimi is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Christi Meshell. Kazimi opens with Rose and Ginger, settles into a heart of Cedar, and dries down to a base of Spicy Notes, Oud, Oakmoss, and Opoponax. House of Matriarch's Kazimi carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This 'dirty' rose is pure love-or-hate. Some call it a masterpiece, others get petrol and burnt rubber. If you crave an earthy, non-sweet rose with a masculine edge, sample it and see which side you fall on.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its moderate projection and unique, sophisticated profile make it suitable for dates and formal events, especially at night as suggested by the community. While intriguing, its bold character and potential divisiveness might be too much for a conservative office, and it's definitely not for sport.

About

Kazimi opens with a bracing, peppery ginger that quickly introduces a complex, dark rose - not your grandma's floral, but something much more rugged. As it settles, cedar emerges, lending a woody backbone, before spicy notes, smoky oud, and earthy oakmoss ground the fragrance. A hint of animalic warmth from ambergris and hyraceum lingers in the drydown, adding depth to this untamed rose.
