Kismet Olfactive reviews and discussion

Each of these fragrances feels like cult-classic potential. This brand has experienced some internet fame but still flies largely under the radar. Independent, small batch, female POC-owned, and local to Brooklyn. I think the founder takes her time creating really well-rounded scents that evoke moods, rather than releasing huge collections of fragrances that are all middle-of-the-road. Her whole selection is beautiful and long-lasting, and there’s really lovely storytelling around each fragrance. This brand is worth the luxury prices and worth the occasional wait (as all the scents are hand-mixed and bottled). “The Poet” is sure to be in my rotation for years to come. Highly recommend!

I'm such a fan of Kismet Olfactive! Each fragrance in this line is made with care and intention, each represents a feeling inspired by memory, meant to emotionally move the wearer. The scents are well balanced and striking but they stay in the wearable territory. My favorite is 'The Poet' which is a sensual woody, patchouli, tonka scent that feels very understated and nostalgic - magical 🤍
