bias

Bias playfully imagines spices strong enough to unsettle one’s judgement. Kilesa combines coriander, basil, nutmeg, saffron and piment, with fig sweetness arriving later. The idea invites attention to the difference between spicy stimulation and rounded fruit.

Lemon, geranium, pimento berries and juniper berries begin the perfume. Galbanum, nutmeg, coriander, clove, basil and saffron form a green, warmly spicy heart. Amber, fig, tobacco and amyris make up the base, bringing sweetness, wood and darker leafy detail beneath the many spices. This progression moves from a more pointed aromatic opening towards a rounder finish.

It suits an evening outfit when the variety of spices feels especially appealing. Herbs and spices remain central beside the fruit. The rounded 50 mL clear-glass bottle has a copper-coloured cap and the fragrance name printed directly on its front.
