Framboise Nue Kyse
by Kyse Perfumes
Framboise Nue Kyse presents a bold, animalic interpretation of berry notes, blending black currant, raspberry, red currant, and ginger with a warm skin musk base. The perfume is described by many as intensely animalic—some likening it to cat urine, barnyard, or overripe fruit—though others find it as a refined, earthy sweetness. The initial olfactory experience is polarizing: some note a medicinal or muddled quality that fades with time, while others appreciate the balance of tart, sweet berry notes and a subtle woody-earthy base. Despite its divisive nature, the perfume maintains moderate longevity and moderate to strong sillage, making it most suitable for spring and day wear. It is frequently cited as a miss for those sensitive to sharp or animalic notes, yet stands out as one of Kyse's more daring and unconventional releases.
Pros
- +Appeals to fans of animalic, earthy, or gourmand-sweet-perfumes that embrace complexity and depth beyond typical fruity fragrances
- +Shows moderate longevity and sillage, suitable for daywear and spring seasons
- +Despite polarizing notes, it demonstrates thoughtful composition with a warm musk base and tart berry notes that are not overly syrupy
Cons
- −Strongly animalic notes (comparable to cat urine or barnyard) are offensive to many users
- −Fragrance experiences greatly vary—some describe it as medicinal or muddled, while others miss the expected berry sweetness entirely
- −Low appreciation among the brand's core audience, possibly due to its departure from Kyse's usual sweet gourmand style
