Unlike conventional fragrance brands, Kierin invites people to be inspired, not defined or confined, by fragrance. They're artistic, genderless and individualistic. Diversity and inclusion are core to the brand and not just presented as an afterthought - a brand for young people of all ages, race and nationalities.
Kierin NYC Nitro Noir (£65.00 50ml) is a decadent scent and really something quite special. The unique blend creates a fragrance that is spicy, intoxicating and hypnotic, something you won't forget in a hurry. Perfumer Mathieu Nardin is known for combining artisanal techniques with modern materials and Nitro Noir beholds his signature creations perfectly.
With keynotes of Italian Bergamot, Pink Berries, Orris, Patchouli and Gourmand, it smells so unique and something you won't forget in a hurry - I love the bottles too!
I adore Kierin NYC Nitro Noir but the fragrance that has really wormed its way to be my daily scent throughout December is Banana Republic Dark Cherry & Amber (£55.00 75ml). Amber is such a sensual scent, it's one I look for along with Bergamot in most of my fragrances and this is just so beautiful, so dark and incredibly sexy.
Master Perfumer, Claude Dir, was inspired by his passion for woody notes and his favourite fruit, which created this edible woody fragrance. The juicy black cherry and gourmand praline add a tempting and addictive signature while two ingredients, blonde cedar and red amber, work together to create irresistible warmth.
I've never come across Banana Republic fragrances before and now I can't get enough of them - Tobacco and Tonka Bean is next on my to-try list.
