I regret not trying it before receiving it; it’s a top-tier fragrance now discontinued, so I’m keeping what’s left of the bottle.

I hesitated before, but this version is indeed citrusy and potent.

I tried an earlier version, but this one is truly citrusy and potent.

Kalos Impact by Ésika: opens with a fresh citrus and amber note that initially surprises, then softens into something wonderful. It’s masculine, though not as much as Chanel’s Egoiste Platinum, yet it recalls it in certain phases. At first, it’s not what you’re looking for, but with time and regular wear, you discover and fall in love with its personality. It’s highly versatile, suitable for any season and time of day. Its best feature is the dry-down: after two hours, the projection drops, but it lingers on the skin for another three hours, noticeable to those nearby. It’s elegant, intriguing, serious, and formal—a success worth it. Not for parties or clubs, but perfect for the office or meetings where you want to project confidence. It has real charm. Scent 8.5, projection 7.0, longevity 6-8 hours. Recommended.

Smells very good; a citrus opening of bergamot and grapefruit, with the best part being the noticeable moss and incense from the start. That incense smells dirty, almost like cigarette smoke, perhaps due to the moss, but these two notes promise much and excite because they break the mould. The downside is that as it dries, that smoky note fades on my skin and clothes, lasting no more than five hours. I could reapply, but my pH isn’t ideal and would ruin the scent, which, if not this fragrance, is hard to beat.

Starts with very sharp citrus notes: grapefruit, bergamot and cedar. After a few hours, it settles into a woody, sweet base reminiscent of Bleu de Chanel. I’d say it’s 70% identical and 30% similar to its sibling Kalos Sport, which echoes Egoiste Platinum. I recommend it for summer and spring. A very rich fragrance.
