I first smelled this around 15 years ago. I didn’t care much about perfume before then, but ever since, this has been in my rotation. It’s the one I wear most of the time, especially in the deep dead of winter. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on perfume samples in all price ranges, and there are a few that I’ve found enjoyable enough to buy bigger bottles; but this is still my favorite scent. It reminds me of the church in PA that my grandparents went to when I was a child. It was old and beautiful with stone exterior, one of those places that felt sacred. Inside, it smelled like sweet wood and incense. I’m not very religious, but I loved that place.
I will say that a few of my other favorite perfumes are also by Kuumba Made; Golden Sky is another favorite. My summer scent this year was a blend of black coconut, lavender lace, and sandalwood.
