Kristiansand

Kristiansand by Kristiansand New York is a Aromatic Fougere fragrance for men. Kristiansand was launched in 2010. The nose behind this fragrance is Pierre-Constantin Guéros. Top notes are Nutmeg, Fig, Pepper, Mandarin Orange and Plum; middle notes are Lavender, Cinnamon, Clary Sage, Virginia Cedar and Vetiver; base notes are Musk, Amber, Tonka Bean and oak moss. Kristiansand is a new masculine fragrance that combines two different ambiences— the serene winter atmosphere of the Norwegian town Kristiansand and the urban lifestyle of New York. The perfume was designed by two Norwegians who met in New York. Britt Hovde Ross and actress Elisabth Steen wanted to create a new masculine fragrance, as there are so few out there that they really like. Perfumer Pierre Constantin Gueros from Drom Fragrances helped them develop the composition. New York is embodied with sophisticated powdery notes, musk and amber, while Kristiansand—Britt's hometown—is described with wood, spice and green flavors. The composition opens with crisp aromas of plum and fig, exotic spices (black pepper and nutmeg) and green mandarine. Silver lavender and clary sage are in the heart, along with woody notes of cedar and vetiver, as well as a dash of cinnamon. The fragrance finishes with a warm base of amber, musk, tonka bean and oak moss. It is available as 50 ml and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
