Our verdict on Karagoz: Acquired

This one is a real head-scratcher and a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect beast-mode performance but prepare for it to divide opinion faster than a politician's promise. It's bold, it's unique, and it might just smell like grape-flavoured detergent.

About

Karagoz opens with a juicy, dark blast of wine grape and sweet pineapple, immediately joined by a surprisingly prominent clean, green note. As it develops, jasmine and neroli add a touch of white floral soapiness before settling into a deep, earthy base of vetiver, patchouli, and a subtle, dark oud. Some find it a 'clean laundry' scent; others detect a more challenging, almost rubbery or medicinal undertone.
