K**a Perfume Products – made in NZ
K**A perfume, as we know it today, began back in the 1970’s as K**a Sacred Love Oil. The name then changed to The Original Indian Love Oil.
The perfume is now simply K**A.
As it has been manufactured in New Zealand for more than 50 years, it is a well-known scent and brings back memories for many people. We often hear comments such as “I have worn this for years and love it!” or “my sister always wore it when we were growing up”. The best comment ever is “Oh you have K**A perfume! – I love that so much”
The Scent:
The main ingredient of K**A is Bergamot which is a citrus fruit mainly found in the Mediterranean and the essential oil it releases is both spicy and sweet. It is highly prized in perfumery for its ability to blend well with other aromas to produce complex scents. It is used in the pure essential oil form for calming the energy.
Although the combination of products that make up the unique scent that is K**A, is closely guarded by the manufacturers, the blend includes cinnamon and cloves together with the rich floral notes of rose, geranium & tuberose.
The base note is woody, balsamic, & leathery which comes from blending patchouli, vetiver & oakmoss in just the right amounts.
Vetiver is now known to be more calming than Lavender and brings that to the K**A perfume blend. It can sometimes be very earthy, and like Patchouli is in hundreds of men’s scents as a part of the mix of notes. This is probably why the K**A scent appeals to women and men who like earthy scents as opposed to floral scents. Patchouli is also known for its calming and grounding effect on the body. Oakmoss is a type of light green to green-black fungal lichen that grows primarily on the trunk and branches of oak trees, hence its name. It carries scents of the forest – again earthy and fulsome. It is also used in many perfumes to hold the notes of the other mixes.
