Kurokami
Di Ser

Rose...big rose...but with a sparkle from grapefruit is the opening. The varnish like presence of rosewood is also evident in this interesting opening as well. The overall effect is almost candy like, but just almost. Kurokami doesn't actually drift into the candy isle, but stays in the fragrance department...but the fragrance department of a Japanese niche fragrance establishment. I really like it! I've been working my way through the Di Ser line and I've got to say that I'm really enjoying the ride. Every one I've tried is incredibly well constructed as well as sheer and shimmering with an overall unisex vibe that I feel could be worn by anyone that wanted to. These are all natural fragrances so their longevity is not great but other than that I love the house aesthetic. Yasuyuki Shinohara is such a talented perfumer and I'm thoroughly enjoying his fine work. Two thumbs up.
