Vasilisa / ヴァシリーサ Kotaro is a women's fragrance in a solid perfume format, released in 2018.
The composition belongs to the floral family, combining juicy fruity expression with a soft yet noticeable floral character.
The fragrance was created by the Japanese brand Vasilisa / ヴァシリーサ, which was founded in 2013.
In the world of perfumery, where European houses often set the main trends, the brand offers a more contemplative approach to fragrance, focusing on nuances of mood, personal associations and the pleasure of an everyday ritual.
Getting acquainted with Kotaro begins with a vivid fruity accord: juicy cherry appears alongside raspberry and pink pepper, which adds a light spicy spark to the opening.
As the composition develops, it becomes softer and brighter, moving into a floral heart.
At the heart of the pyramid are gardenia, magnolia and rose. Together, they create a feminine, airy and clearly noticeable floral character without feeling strictly classic.
Cedar, peach, sandalwood and musk emerge in the base, giving the fruity-floral scent a warmer, rounder and more lasting finish.
Kotaro will appeal to those who enjoy fragrances with a vivid opening, a soft floral heart and a noticeable presence on the skin.
According to the available information, its sillage is rated as very strong, so the composition can make a noticeable statement and is well suited to situations where you want to emphasize your individuality.
The solid format makes the fragrance especially interesting as part of a personal perfume ritual: it is convenient to experience close to the skin and reapply according to your mood.
Specific recommendations for the number of applications on skin and clothing are not provided, so it is best to adjust the intensity gradually, taking your own perception and the reactions of those around you into account.
Kotaro's main distinctive feature is the contrast between its juicy berry-fruity opening and delicate floral heart.
Cherry and raspberry make the scent lively and emotional, pink pepper adds dynamism, while the woody-musky base helps the composition retain depth and cohesion.
This fragrance can be seen as a noticeable floral option for admirers of fruity accords and pronounced sillage.
For further exploration, Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps may be worth discovering as well: it may also appeal to lovers of feminine floral compositions, although Kotaro remains more berry-like and contemporary in character.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
