    I'm on my second dram of this and love it. But I also love Cardamom and the Kylphi notes are just enough for this scent to be well rounded. I don't just get the cardamom note on my skin, but...

    I just get straight up cardamom. Not detecting much, if any, incense notes. It's a shame, because if the spice was toned down and more wood added, this could be brilliant.

    I didn't think this was a bad fragrances at all. In fact, once it dried down, it was somewhat gentle and comforting. I didn't think it smelled much like incense at all. The problem that I have...

    I tried this on at an Open Studio event at Dawn's studio, and have to admit that I was not immediately impressed...it was pleasant at first, but seemed rather...bland. Well. During the drive...

    This scent achieves what it states - it is the scent of cardamom and khyphi. Cardamom is very spicy; khyphi is an herbal-like ingredient used in incense. If you like these notes, this scent is...

    You must crave Cardamom to like this one as it's 90% that. The other note is some sort of unidentifiable herbal, but it's pretty much covered over with Cardamom. I like cardamom, but usually in...

    If you are familiar with DSH's work, I almost don't have to say anything. If you're not, I can only say that she is consistently the most complex, inventive, intellectual perfumer I've come...

    As in the experience of several other reviewers, this fragrance made both me and my bf nauseous. I love cardamom and was excited to try this fragrance, and while I did detect the presence of...

    This really does smell just like cardamom to me, like wearing a spice rack :) But then again, I LOVE the smell of it, so that's what I wanted. I have no clue what khypi is but overall I adore this...

    I love this one! I wish I would stop trying DSH scents, I want to buy them all! Yum. I love cardamom and this dries down to a great incense scent. Fresh, spicy and warm at the same time. Mmmmmm.

    I wanted to love this, but the musk note in it makes me nauseous. Love the idea of a kyphi perfume, though.

    If you love Cardamom, this is the scent for you! Cardamom & Khyphi brings to mind a mystical caravan trip to ancient Egypt, filled with the inviting fragrance of exotic spices and sacred incense. ...

    Thanks to our lovely WildCoyote DSH developed this scent because I could not find the right cardamom scent. This is dry, unsweetened cardamom with incense without any smokiness. Apparently, Khyphi...
