Corinto Kush by The Lab

“Corinto Kush” is an original and sophisticated Colombian niche from The Lab that captures local biodiversity. Upon application, fresh and herbal notes with earthy touches evoke a lush landscape. The opening is vibrant with a passionfruit citrus accord that awakens the senses. Then deeper notes emerge, such as musk and spices, adding warmth. It stands out for its longevity and projection, perfect for lasting all day. It is versatile for formal or casual occasions. The packaging is elegant and minimalist, reflecting the philosophy of highlighting the best of Colombia. In summary, “The Lab – Corinto Kush” is a jewel of Colombian perfumery with freshness and depth that will delight those seeking something distinctive.

It’s green, but not that 70s barber shop green or the classic French kind; it’s damp, vibrant, and almost citrusy like the tropical rainforests of central and southern America, where everything is alive and moving. What surprises me most is how it changes with the weather: in the cold, it stays static on the opening notes, but in the heat, it becomes mobile, fun, and sparkling. I was disappointed to try it in the cold because the concept appealed to me, but in the heat the notes come alive. I detect more things besides the passionfruit, though I can’t identify them. The cannabis doesn’t smell like heavy weed or smoke, but rather whole plant, hemp, leaves, and flowers. The neroli and leather accentuate those facets: the neroli makes it green at the start and the leather dries it out at the end. I don’t detect the cotton candy, balsam of Peru, or ambroxan; I suppose they are just fixatives. It’s a perfect unisex scent, for all ages and occasions. I love its versatility, although it depends heavily on the climate. I recommend it as a signature scent, but not for buying a large bottle blindly. It has good longevity and excellent sillage, which in the heat is simply exceptional.

A fragrance that smells of the Colombian jungle with brutal longevity; the passionfruit opening is noticeable, and as it dries down, the herbal cannabis feels great, making it ideal for hot weather.
