Clove, I repeat: Clove
MCMC KEPT is a big-time clove bomb. If you LOVE cloves in perfume, then you might be able to wear this, but for me, it's a very uncomfortable experience. The moment I donned this industrial strength clove extract, one word came out of my mouth: cloves.
There is quite a bit of black tea and leather in this perfume as well, but they are totally soaked in clove. To my nose, the alleged rose in this composition is MIA. I will not even be finished my 1ml sample vial of this creation. However, I do not want to deter others from trying KEPT, because I am very sensitive to clove, and it also happens to be one of my least favorite perfume notes, right down there with cumin, sweaty musk, and synthetic peony.
The good news for clove lovers is that this perfume is very strong, with big sillage and excellent longevity--most likely because clove oil is present in high concentration! On the clove front, KEPT truly puts Serge Lutens SERGE NOIRE to shame. The intense pitch (reminiscent also of the house of Lush) induced in me a headache.
