Kefi is an enthusiastic celebration of spice and natural materials. At the top there is an absolute made from the heart of black currant buds grown in the Burgundy region of France, and harvested only 3 months out of the year. Raw, this material can can smell dense and tart and slightly phenolic. Diluted, blended, wrestled into fussy submission, it is plums and stewed fruit, and tart, sweet spring in a bottle.
There are other materials of note, too. A remarkably dense, almost syrupy cardamom extraction from the most volcanic regions of Guatemala, a unique red ginger that is smaller, sweeter, and more ethereal than its more common counterpart. This ginger is grown in Indonesia and steam distilled at the site of harvest, to ensure the preservation of the most vital and lively parts of the oil.
No one needs to know any of this stuff to know if you like the way something smells, or the way something makes you feel. But for those of us who geek out impossibly hard on our materials and what makes something special, Kefi is simply sublime.

I adore spice and I adore amber, and this was just about everything I could have asked for - and more! In particular, the ginger steals the show once it has time to develop, and it lingers for a good few hours. Absolutely my new favorite fragrance by leagues!
I got this as a bonus in my discovery pack, and I was blown away. It's unisex, bordering on feminine, and rich with spicy warm goodness. Definitely need to buy a bottle of this when I get the chance!
Slightly tart, spicy, and intoxicating! I was worried this would go metallic on my skin as some perfumes that have pink pepper tend to do on me but this doesn’t. The vanilla & ginger pop on the dry down.
This was my second favorite scent in the batch of fragrances I received. Off first spritz, you get notes of ginger and black currant. Once it dries down, you get the vanilla and sandalwood with the ginger and black currant, and the overall scent gets sweeter. I really enjoyed this one! In my opinion, it's subtle enough to wear every day, and the scent doesn't project as far the way some of the other scents in the Winter Collection did, but when I got in the car after a full day of wearing it, my cousin (who is not really into fragrances) noticed and complimented me on the scent!
A soft, sophisticated scent. Feminine, without being overbearing. The black currant adds a touch of fruitiness but isn't sticky sweet. The perfect balance. Good for Spring/Summer.
