Kensie Variety EDP in detail
Kensie is the house behind Variety EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its vanilla side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Mont Blanc Individuel is a lighter match.
Variety longevity
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Tom Ford Soleil De Feu and Mont Blanc Individuel last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and benzoin are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Which weather suits Variety
It is at its best in winter. It is less suited to spring. From best to least suited, the seasons are winter, fall, summer and spring. If you need something for spring, Gianni Versace Blue Jeans is a better fit.
Its style
The strongest accord is powdery (35%), followed by vanilla and woody. You will probably like it if you enjoy powdery and vanilla smells and notes like butter and amber. Less obvious notes include cardamom, lavender and musk.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Slava Zaitsev Maroussia spreads further.
