Kirke Notes, Review & Performance

Tiziana Terenzi's 2015 launch — often compared to Xerjoff Erba Pura as a similarly fruity, long-lasting luxury-niche composition. A tropical-fruity unisex fragrance with passionfruit, peach, pear, and raspberry at the top, lily-of-the-valley in the heart, and a musk-sandalwood-vanilla-patchouli-heliotrope base. Performs balanced across spring through fall, day-or-evening, with strong projection.
