Kai
Roll-on Perfume Oil
by Kai

The Scoop
Devastatingly feminine, dangerously flirtatious - this blend of white flowers should be a controlled substance. If you love gardenia, you need to own this - it is so incredibly fresh and true that it smells like you just pinned a newly cut gardenia in your hair. Lush, but clean. It is an oil, so remember: a little bit goes a long way. The tiniest dab should have people leaning in when they speak to you.

Post a review >>

I tried Kai years back when it first started to gain popularity and wasn't crazy about it. Its been a long time and it has since exploded with popularity so I decided to give it another chance. I can honestly say I still just don't get what all the hoopla is about. On me it first smelled sweet, then spicy, then mellowed to a liquid soap smell, just as some of the other posters have said. Additionally, this time around Kai gave me a headache.

A real blooming gardenia on a stem does not smell like 99 % of the 'gardenia' perfumes out there. In fact the 'perfumey gardenia' smell is totally inaccurate when compared to a 'real' live gardenia flower. Kai replicates the true gardenia flower completely. It has that velvety live plant aroma to begin with and then it opens out into 'gardenia still attached to the plant' smell . I hesistate to use the words' fresh and lush' but that is it. That really fresh God given live flower smell. It's genius. Seems simple but actually genius.

Fresh, clean, green gardenia. If you want to smell like Hawaii, this is it. A mature tropical scent which is no longer an oxymoron. No suntan oil, no coconut, no pineapple or little drinks with umbrellas in them. Just fresh gardenia. Makes a better candle than a perfume IMO, but it's nonoffensive in every way.

Very boring, simple, and heavy oil to carry. In addition, the hackneyed screaming the name Kai. You can not miss it if someone wears or does not Kai. I do not understand why anyone would want to smell exactly the same as everyone else wearing this "cheap" oil? Was not meaning to be yourself? Literally fabric softener!

Just got my sample. Hubby said I smell like soap. It is nice, but I am new to this game...I like it ok, going to need a few more tries. Really doesn't change at all. Does last a long time with just a drop. Have to give it credit for that at least. I am much more interested in my Kilian.

I have been buying Kai for years from another site. I'm glad to see it here! I love that it's simple and doesn't morph. It's great to have something a little different mixed in with all the other crazy fragrances I have. I have tried the oil and the spray, I find I like the scent of the oil better. Something smells a little off with the spray. All in all this is lovely, just pure gardenia. I sometimes smell them when walking or driving and it makes me pull this oil out and wear it again!

This perfume oil has a lovely gardenia smell with hints green tea (sort of earthy yet fresh). It is a very true version of the flower, almost as though your are wearing real gardenias. However, no evolution really occurs past that first whiff. The smell stays the same on me throughout the day.

This perfume oil smells just like a freshly cut gardenia. I also get a hint of LOTV which sharpens up the buttery effect of the gardenia but the green note is there to freshen it up as well. Also, just a dab lasts forever on me. The only thing about this perfume is that it doesn't really evolve. What you smell in the first sniff is what you'll smell all day.

Not the most sophisticated perfume, however, it's still quite lovely... especially for Spring. It seems feminine, innocent and hopeful, if that makes sense. I get a lot of Gardenia, but other fresh, white florals as well. I have the roll-on and it is strong, so you only need a drop here or there and it lasts all day on me.

Nice. Nothing complicated here, this is basically a gardenia based white floral with a nice green note. Pretty, appealing, feminine and straightforward.

Some people compare this to Monyette Paris. While I think some of the note are similar, they ar enot the same. This smells stronger in the Citrus notes and has a headier floral mixed with it. But it is nice on its own. Not Monyette, but still quite a pleasant Tropical Floral

Kai took me a few attempts to like. It wasn't that I didn't like it on first application--I did, but I was so taken aback at how single-note it seemed. I was expecting gardenia but I was expecting something else as well. Kai is straigh-up gardenia, which I wasn't crazy about at first, preferring Monyette Paris. However, on subsequent applications I came to appreciate Kai for what it is-- an innocent, pure, very pretty scent with no pretense. Just lovely gardenia. I won't always be in the mood for this, but when I am it is truly a welcome fragrance.

Kai stays true on my skin and does not morph into something else (as does Monyette Paris and a number of other fragrances). There is an ethereal nature, a purity and simplicity about Kai that has lured me into a relationship with this fragrance. The oil and spray cologne both provide lasting essence. The lotion is is a quality emollient and a treat for the senses

3.5 stars. From the bottle: fresh gardenia, jasmine, and something green. On the skin: straight up gardenia. It is a fresh gardenia, and smells lush and juicy, not old and dusty. This perfume pretty much stays linear for the entire application. It smells nice, but it's simply not complicated enough to be alluring. When I wear this, I feel fresh and clean, and I don't feel the need to rave about it. It does last a reasonably long time, though.

This is a pleasant enough fragrance; a buttery, flowery island fragrance. It's fresh, slightly green (think in terms of Calla Lily stems) and is reminiscent of breezes brushing over warm gardenias. I've heard this scent described as "light" but I'd hardly call "Kai" that--it does have a silky smoothness to it but like many white floral fragrances, if worn in excess it can actually roll-over into the rancid oil/skunky category. Tuberose and gardenia are lovely and faintly skin-like in moderation; Reminiscent of sweaty body odor if overdone. "Kai" is a lovely fragrance for those who love the distinct scent of island flowers, but it never veers from this theme. It's not an interpretation of an idea or emotion (some will disagree, if they have personal memories tied to the island and it's foliage), just a really pretty bouquet of tropical flowers.

Hawaii is awesome, but Kai is not (on me, that is). I much prefer Monyette Paris. Maybe it's the addition of the nag champa & muguet, but it's creamier and so much more pleasing.

I'm not a perfume expert, nor do I fall in love with fragrances often. They're either too floral, or too sweet, or just plain nauseating! I read in a magazine that Carmen Electra really likes the Kai Perfume Oil, and it recommended this website! I figured what the heck? and ordered myself a sample. I just received it today in the mail - I'M ALREADY ADDICTED! It's an incredible fragrance, and reminds me of my trip to Hawaii!!! I couldn't be happier, and am so relieved that I don't have to search for my "signature scent" anymore - it's found me!

I think my nose is not as sophisticated as some, but I just love Kai. The EDP sample didn't last more than an hour on me, so I bought the roll-on oil. Gardenias are not a favorite flower -- the scent is overpowering, too lush, too overripe for my taste. But Kai reminds me of my beloved Laura Ashley No. 1, which was discontinued, which then sent me on this very fun perfume odyssey. Kai is very like LA1, sweet, light, youthful but not girly.

Kai is strikingly beautiful. I have roll-on and edp and I can't get enough of this fragrance. To me, it's a secret tropical island radiating the scent of flowers and the clean, fresh sea air. I've never smelled another perfume that captures so perfectly the aura of a Hawaiian retreat.

It smelled nice on a friend so I ordered it. I'm sorry to say that I'm not a fan of it on myself... It's reminds me of the liquid soap in public bathrooms.. or air freshener spray. I think the fact that it only has one discernable note makes it smell cheap. But I know everyone else loves it so maybe it's just me! All I can suggest is to get the sample first -- this scent may fit most, but not all.

When I was a teenager I loved this jasmine oil, well an older lady on an airplane commented to me how the lady in front of us was wearing too much Gardenia! Of course it was me -- maybe I have been wary of Gardenia ever since. Anyway, I can't tell much difference between Kai and that oil. Unless you are really really into Gardenia beware.

I decided to get a sample of this because my husband's name is Kai. Little did I know how much I would love this perfume! It's my new favorite. It reminds me of Maui, where we got married, because the gardenia smells like the leis we used in our ceremony. It's not an overly obnoxious smell or too floral; it's just right. And my Kai likes it too. Useless knowledge: Kai means sea water in Hawaiian. Or gravy.

Kai is glorious, but I agree very strong. I crave it. I makes me happy. The best place for me is a tiny dab behind each ear, because when someone kisses you hello, they luv luv luv it. I am asked all the time, and get the Kai? huh? look. I like that it's not so commercially available like some God awful overpowering bully scent like Prada. In NY you have to know where to go to get it. I can stand on a street corner and 3 women next to me will reek of that men's after-shave smelling Prada, and I'll stand there like my own tropical island.

I have been using Kai for about a year now, came across this website and heard about the comparisons to Monyette-while there are some similar properties, I would have to say Kai is much sweeter which is preferable to me. I wore the Monyette and I didn't get that same, "what smells so good? Oh yeah--it's me" deal I get when I wear Kai. I see now that they have a spray out-my poor wallet....

This was a wee bit strong, HOWEVER, I do like it quite a bit. There is a weird, sharp nostril-biting quality to it initially, but it is an absolutely sultry combination of lush, tropical flowers. Smells best when it has been on the skin for a while. I like to put a tiny bit on my light bulbs to scent a room to perfection!

Rating:

Constance -medical professional from Alameda, CA

This is much different than Monyette on me and I love them both! Kai is like a blooming gardenia on a crisp spring morning covered in dew. It dries down to an innocent airy floral with a bit of natural sweetness. Monyette is more like a huge gardenia in full bloom with large waxy leaves during a hot and humid (perhaps naughty) tropical night...much more earthy. I can see a need to own both!

Rating:

Brooke - from APO

I was very intrigued by the description and the reviews; in fact, I tried the sample of Monyette at the same time. There was no comparison - Kai is absolutely heavenly. It is not a cloying floral; it is soft, fresh and creamy (or buttery as others have described). I feel so incredibly feminine and alluring; others definitely do lean in to smell it :) If you like gardenia, this is a must have. I've been zooming through my first bottle and will have to get a second one soon! Don't hesitate on this one!

This is such a beautiful scent that makes you feel so feminine! By far this is the most incomparable Gardenia scent out there. My husband goes nuts when I wear it. It's the "I've gotta get closer" kind of scent! I've tried what seems like hundreds of Gardenia scents trying to find "the one" and this is just perfection in a bottle! It's not overbearing at all like most Gardenia scents. You have to try it! You will be hooked!! = )

I have to disagree totally with some of the postings...Monyette simply cannot compare with KAI...Monyette to me is cloying...KAI is fresh yet so tropical...being from Maui I can say that this scent is such a perfect interpretation of the Hawaiian islands...my favorite of the "tropical" blends including Monyette and Child...and it lasts beautifully throughout our balmy, sultry days...a real winner...

I guess to each their own body chemistry. I really tried to like this fragrance on me but it just turns. I love the smell of gardenias but on me this just doesn't have that "effect" that everyone raves about. It's hard to describe what it smells like on me but I don't particularly like it on me. I've smelled it on others and even enjoyed it to an unrecognizable point where I had to ask "What is that scent?" For some reason it doesn't agree or mix well w/my skin. I do think it's a nice scent but I would like something a bit creamier.

I have already posted one review but felt inclined to do so again after not wearing my Kai for a while and then recently using it again. It is such a clean gardenia scent and so feminine. I have yet to find a perfume that is so girly. I recently purchased Montale intense tiare because I love gardenia and although it is very nice, it can not compete with my Kai. I will never be without this- it lasts 8 -12 hrs on me and stays fresh and gorgeous the entire time. Too bad there isn't an EDP spray. Kai is amazing and I give it a 5 only because the ratings don't go higher.

My husband is used to his fragrance slut of a wife going around with a different scent on every day.

I received my Kai perfume oil and lotion and love it. It is so pretty and so fresh. The gardenia is wonderful and exotic making me think of tropical islands. However, I also received a sample of Monyette and just don't get what all the fuss is about. I keep reading all the comparisons of kai and Monyette but to me there is no comparison. I don't even smell the gardenia in the Monyette and can't really pick out any of the notes. It just isn't unique like Kai. It is truly a one of a kind.

Very little works on me (most perfumes turn musky and stinky on my skin), but Kai is absolutely, intoxicatingly perfect. It really does smell just like a freshly cut gardenia--or better yet, one that hasn't been cut at all. You know how their scent lingers in the air on a hot day? It smells like that. Just having it on, sitting at my desk on a gray, rainy day, is making me feel extremely sexy . . . and like I'm already on vacation. It's also completely different from Monyette (which I love also). Where Monyette is musky, mysterious, and incense-like, Kai is fresh and devastatingly floral. I LOVE it!

Kai has that "fresh/clean" thing going for it that seems to be the IN thing. Gardenia, yes, but not overwhelming. Of the "big three" oils (Monyette, Kai and Child), Monyette gets my vote for its sultry and buttery notes. I guess that "fresh" thing isn't big on my list, but if you tend to like those kinds of scents, this may be what you're looking for.

Kai is a wonderful fresh floral scent. Being very sensitive to perfumes, I have found few that I can wear without giving me headaches. Kai is great and I can wear it every day! It does not have they staying power that I expected, but the convenient roll-on bottle is easy to pack. Another favourite of mine: Monyette de Paris is vaguely similar to Kai, but has more warmth.

Went to Hawaii back in May and I agree this scent takes me back. I had the best time on vacation there. I just love this oil. One of the best perfume oils I have ever used. I adore it so so so much. A must buy for white floral lovers and those that love clean scents like myself. Will always have a tiny bottle of this in my purse. My husband loves the smell also.

This is a beautiful fragrance....if you like heady gardenia and tropical flowers. The dry-down smells a bit like "china rain" (does anyone else agree? But after wearing it for a week or so, I've decided that I like that. I do like it better than the Moyette Paris which it has been compared to. Kai smells like Hawaii!

Kai is soooooo wonderful! The staying power is great, it literally lasts all day long. It's such a sexy, feminine scent. I should have gotten this along time ago. I am definately a new fan.

People literally stop me to ask what I'm wearing. My friend in LA followed me around for an entire weekend and finally dragged me to Fred Segal so she could buy some. This is the perfect scent for summer.

Yes, a small dab will last for hours. Definitely try this if you love gardenia. I, however, am not a fan of this one.

Oh, I think it smells so beautiful! It is very light and fresh, all white flowers and clean air. There is also a little something that smells kind of leafy green too that catches you by suprise. Someone always comments on how good it smells when I wear it. The greatest thing is most people will say "You smell so good." not "What kind of perfume is that?" I highly recommend this for anyone who loves gardenias or other white flower fragrances.

Ordinarily most gardenia and tuberose fragrances I've tried are dominated by those notes - this is not. (Then again, the box does say this is different on everyone.) The lily is the first thing I detect, with its sweet freshness, along with the roundness of jasmine. The gardenia component is very fresh. There is also a surprising almost saplike note - I can't quite put my finger on what it is, just that it reminds me of sap. The end result? A soft, gentle, clean, quiet fresh floral that doesn't seem to jump off the skin, but does last quite well. (Perhaps that last bit has to do with it being an oil?) This scent is just uplifting. I think those who enjoy Calypso Mimosa or Serge Lutens Un Lys might enjoy this, although that is not to say Kai smells much like either of those.

I adore the Gardenia flower. This reminds me of June at my Mothers when the Gardenia bush is in bloom and the scent floats in the air. It is wonderful. You really will smell like you fresh cut Gardenia. Lush and Clean is perfect. This perfume will last and last all day.
