Ki-Oku Waves & Whispers Extrait

Description

Waves & Whispers is sea air and clean linen, with jasmine drifting through. It comes from KI-OKU, an independent house based in Los Angeles, California, and was composed by Oliwia do Nascimento. An ocean-breeze accord opens with dewy melon and soft lavender, the heart is violet petals, jasmine, white flowers and fresh linen, and the base is musk, sandalwood and golden amber. It is a soft, airy floral with a marine edge: clean and calm rather than sporty.

Performance

Longevity: Rated 5 of 5 by the house, which says customers report 12+ hours from a couple of sprays.
Sillage: Rated 3 of 5 by the house: a soft, close trail.

An honest note: KI-OKU is a young house and independent reviews are still scarce, so these ratings are the house's own. Musky bases like this can fade from your own nose while others still notice them.
