Strawberry Moon: Kyphi and Sweet Cream

Kyphi and Sweet Cream.

[Nagi Mahe]

Ok, in the bottle... heavy cream begging to go sour. Not getting any of my beloved Kyphi, just a very faint golden smell. 

On the skin, oh no... sour cream. It's making me wrinkle my nose. I still don't get any straight up kyphi. Just a light golden sweet smell, trying to fight its way through.

Dry down, still sour. There is still a vague golden incense trying, but failing. 

If you do well with the Labs cream note, you'll love this. And i do occasionally get a thread of incense, but i'm not loving this one.

In the Bottle:  Fatty, buttery cream and waaaay in the back a glimmer of incense

 

On the Skin: The cream settles pretty quickly and the kyphi becomes more evident.  This is actually quite lovely, especially when it flips to a kyphi forward blend supported by the cream.  Pretty straight forward.  Throw seems quite low but will assess on a full wear.

I am searching for the kyphi and only finding the sweet cream. It doesn't go sour on me, and it's a beautiful cream note, but I would do unspeakable things for a no-holds-barred BPAL kyphi. I love Cairo but I don't smell even a smidgen of that kyphi in this blend. I am optimistic that giving it some time will let those elements come forward.

This is mostly about the sweet cream on me, which smells good in the throw, but a little too buttery up close after it has been on the skin for a few hours. I get a hint of the kyphi's incense in the background, but it's not a main player on my skin.

 

Layered with its moon, it gave the emphasis in Strawberry Moon 2026 a boost before it doused it in buttery cream.

 

This wasn't a win for me, but it was fun to try it.
