About Thus With a Kiss
Thus With a Kiss: Samar's Dark, Metallic Rose
Thus With a Kiss is an unisex fragrance from Samar, crafted by perfumers Na-Moya Lawrence and Debbie Lin. It sits somewhere between floral, woody, and mineral, with a quietly unsettling atmosphere.
The rose is joined by loquat, sycamore wood, and a trio of dark notes: poison, blood, and metallic touches. This is a scent that refuses to blend into the background and asks to be explored slowly.
Samar offers Thus With a Kiss as a fragrance for men and women, one that deliberately plays with contrasts. The perfumers behind it, Na-Moya Lawrence and Debbie Lin, have created a complex composition with a strong point of view.
At its heart are rose, loquat, and sycamore wood, the latter giving a dry, resinous depth. Metallic, mineral, woody, aromatic, and earthy accords then add an uncanny balance between the natural and the artificial.
The poison, blood, and metal notes are among the most provocative. They are not meant to be taken literally but serve as olfactory images, lending the fragrance a raw shimmer and a faintly sinister character that sets it apart from more traditional rose scents.
Thus With a Kiss currently holds a perfect review score of 5 out of 5, based on a single recorded rating that nevertheless points to the perfume's immediate impact. It is an early signal, but an emphatic one.
Those who prefer quiet, inoffensive fragrances may find this challenging. It requires patience, focus, and a taste for the strange. With each wear, it poses a question about what modern luxury can be.
Lovers of dark, floral, and metallic scents, especially those drawn to unusual compositions and a bold reinvention of rose.
Thus With a Kiss is a brave creation, bringing together rose and wood with notes of poison, blood, and metal. It is a signature fragrance with an uneasy, memorable elegance.
