Kashkha CPO
by Swiss Arabian
Kashkha CPO by Swiss Arabian is a bold, complex woody-spicy fragrance centered on oud and cardamom, with warm cinnamon and amber accords. It unfolds slowly, starting with fresh green and spicy top notes—apple and cinnamon—that melt into a rich, velvety core of earthy oud, cardamom, and amber. The development is nuanced, with a greener, forest-like freshness emerging as the scent settles, evoking a late autumn morning in a wooded landscape. It has a strong, sensual presence with moderate to strong sillage and good longevity, particularly in cooler months. While some find the initial green note harsh and the synthetic musky-oud effect overpowering, many appreciate its depth and transformation over time. Its elegant bottle and quality presentation make it a compelling choice for those seeking a luxurious Middle Eastern-inspired scent. It leans unisex but carries a pronounced masculine intensity, best suited for nighttime or cooler weather.
