Crema di Lime e Cognac Kyse
by Kyse Perfumes
Crema di Lime e Cognac by Kyse Perfumes is a gourmand fragrance centered around a sweet, creamy lime with boozy cognac notes and a prominent green, woody character. The opening is fresh and slightly bitter, evoking a damp hay sauna or a sharp after-shave, with a notable boozy intensity that many find overwhelming. Over time, the fragrance softens into a rounded, vanillic creaminess with a hint of coconut in the drydown, though the sweetness fades quickly. The green bamboo and hay notes remain present throughout, adding a soft, earthy texture that some find essential while others perceive as distracting. Longevity is moderate, with most agree it wears through the day and beyond, but with a sillage that's too subtle for anyone to notice unless close up. The scent leans unisex but carries a masculine aura due to the strong alcohol and green woodiness, though with a soft gourmand heart that attracts those who enjoy sweet, cocktail-like fragrances. It feels most at home in summer, particularly warm weather.
