About Flora Kajakas
Kajakas is made by Flora.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
Kajakas for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. For daytime, Van Cleef & Arpels First is a lighter match.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall and winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
How long Kajakas stays on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. Yves Saint Laurent Kouros lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk and oakmoss are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Other Flora perfumes
The house has 17 perfumes here, led by Iris, Kannel and Tiina.
