About This Perfume
Lubin Kismet comes across as Warm amber and vanilla, resinous rose petals. It opens with petitgrain, bergamot and lemon, moves into patchouli, Bulgarian rose and rosa centifolia absolute and settles on Bourbon vanilla, opoponax and labdanum. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights and nights out. Released in 2016.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and powdery for date nights.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike powdery fragrances.
Around $196.

Lubin was founded in Paris in 1798 and is one of the oldest continuously-operating French perfume houses, a heritage rank shared with Houbigant, Molinard and 4711. The modern line pairs that heritage lineage with contemporary compositions: the Idole rum-and-leather (reformulated 2005), the resinous incense of Akkad, and Kismet's bourbon vanilla and rose. The 15 live pieces on Scendira average .05 and span a tight $150-$216 (average $171), full niche band. Standout live pieces: Idole ($216,.35, spiced rum, leather, warm orange peel), Akkad ($216,.34, smoky amber incense with sweet vanilla warmth), Itasca ($150,.29, fresh pine and smoky juniper with citrus bite), Kismet ($196,.22, warm amber and vanilla with resinous rose petals), and Black Jade ($150,.20, soft rose and jasmine, green herbs, warm spice). Best read as a heritage-French-niche entry: Idole and Akkad are the anchors; both are Lubin at its most cited.
