As a huge CdG fan, I am trying to find a perfume that works for me and Kyoto might be one. I love Japan and Kyoto. This is amazing in recreating the feel of a Japanese temple. I like it a lot...

OK, if I hadn't gotten several samples from different sources BEFORE I bought my bottle of this, I'd think I was talking about a different fragrance than anyone else. First, until today when I...

Kyoto is a dry, woodsy scent of cedar and cypress (and teak oil, according to the notes) combined with Japanese incense (which I have never smelled, but NOT frankincense or nag champa like). Some...

Gingerbreadgirl nailed it: citronella, Deep Woods Off, bad camping trip. Plus, it had zip staying power on me (thank god; saved me a trip to the sink to wash it off). Not horrible, but not great...

The first spritz is Deep Woods Off bug spray, campfire, and just the faintest hint of diesel exhaust from a nearby highway. If this was a CB I Hate Perfume it would be called "Yellowstone July...

This evocative fragrance takes me back to my mother’s native Finland: a spice aisle in a brightly lit K-Market, close enough to the waxy oranges to smell mulled and fruity; the smoke of dried wood...

As I said in my review of Jaisalmer, I was able to buy samples from the website of Luckyscent. Kyoto initially starts out sort of hippie/patchouli, then it calms and gets woodsy. Eh? Next.

I really liked this scent in the winter, but now that the temperature is rising...Kyoto is just out of this world good. I've been reaching for this every day, because its cool shot of cedar,...

Kyoto is my new everyday fragrance! The first time i sprayed it on I couldn't stop smelling my wrist. It is extremely long lasting on me and the cedar top note mellows to an elusive smoky wood...

I have more beautiful scents, scents that seem to smell better on me. The difference? It's comfortable, like perfect jeans. Kyoto makes me feel good, serene, relaxed. I don't relax, not ever. ...

Bad bad bad on me. Horrible! My roommate gagged. I would almost say it was similar to those pine shaped car fresheners, almost. It was a total single note pine smell on me. Way too strong; this is...

I'm only giving this 2 lippies because Ricky Martin wore it on Regis & Kelly Live, and she commented on it: how she wished we could smell him, because he smelled so mmmmmm! Well, she probably had...

I first sniffed Kyoto at Scentbar in LA. I told the SA that I was looking for an incense scent that had a brightness to it--something I could wear in warmer weather. She immediately pulled Kyoto...

This scent is grotesque. The cedar comes off as a low quality anise, the effect being all too unfortunate. The generic "cologne" smell doesn't bear even a passing resemblance to fine Japanese...

A very dear friend introduced me to Kyoto. At first I was put off by its smoky dry cedar opening but the smoke went away within minutes. <br> I suppose Kyoto is one of those 'love it or hate it'...

This is well done, this IS what Incense smells like! Resinous, woody, piney. I would have been very disappointed if this ended up smelling synthetic. I am not giving it a 5 because although I have...

I was really excited to try this after sampling and loving Avignon. Unfortunately, this does not agree with my chemistry at all. Smells sharp and rancid, rather unlike the lovely semi-sweet...
