Solis
by Kemi Blending Magic
Solis is a luminous, gourmand-amber oud fragrance that opens with a delicate blend of herbal artemisia, vanilla, and fresh-spicy notes, creating a bright, sweet-savory aura. It unfolds into a soft, creamy base of benzoin, amber, and vanilla that carries a warm, radiating animalic sweetness, evoking tropical fruit punch and delicate saffron-like depth. The scent is unisex and subtly aromatic, with a cedary oud and vetiver presence that keeps it from becoming overly cloying. It performs with notable sillage in the first few hours, projecting intensely with 3 sprays, but then settles into a quiet, intimate drydown that lingers deeply on the skin for over 12 hours. The fragrance is most effective in winter and night wear, with a moderate to strong presence that enhances wearability in cooler months.

- +Soft, radiant gourmand-amber drydown that lasts beyond 12 hours
- +Unisex appeal with bright, herbal-gourmand appeal that suits warm skin and colder weather
Cons
- −Longevity and sillage decline significantly after the first few hours, making it feel ephemeral
- −Not as bold, persistent, or dramatically projecting as expected for its price
- −The scent lacks raw oud intensity and can appear generic or subtle, especially on dry skin
