Gita in the Kismet Olfactive Collection
Kismet Olfactive Gita is a unisex eau de parfum released in 2018 by the American brand Kismet Olfactive.
The fragrance is part of the Kismet Olfactive Classic Collection and combines floral, woody, spicy and white-floral facets.
The name Gita is associated with a composition in which expressive flowers meet dry woody nuances and a spicy accent.
As a result, the fragrance comes across not as strictly feminine or masculine, but as a versatile olfactory expression for those who choose compositions by character rather than gender labels.
The Fragrance's Character and Development
Gita opens with nutmeg: its spicy nuance gives the composition a composed, warm and slightly tart tone.
Calendula and Sambac jasmine then come to the fore, creating a rich floral heart with a pronounced white-floral character.
In the base, the fragrance becomes deeper and drier.
Nagarmotha, also known as cypriol, nut grass or cyperus, merges with tuberose and vetiver to form a woody-herbal backdrop with a distinctive earthy facet.
This combination makes Gita full-bodied and memorable, while the transition from the spicy opening to the floral heart and rich base is particularly intriguing to experience on skin.
Notes and Fragrance Pyramid
Gita's listed notes are nutmeg, calendula, Sambac jasmine, nagarmotha, tuberose and vetiver.
Together, they reveal a floral-woody composition with a spicy opening and a distinctive white-floral facet.
Sillage and Wearability
Gita has very strong sillage, so the fragrance can make its presence clearly felt and linger in the air after its wearer has passed by.
For everyday wear, it is worth taking the composition's intensity into account and starting with a small number of sprays, gradually finding a comfortable dosage.
No precise recommendations for applying this release to skin or clothing are available.
Temperature, skin type, fabric and the amount applied can all affect how the fragrance is perceived, so it is best to evaluate it after it has fully developed rather than only during the first few minutes.
The Perfumer and the Release's Style
The composition was created by Shabnam Tavakol. In Gita, her signature is expressed through the contrast between spicy nutmeg, vivid flowers and a dryish woody base.
Thanks to this, the fragrance retains the decorative quality of a floral composition while remaining poised, deep and free from excessive sweetness.
