kai
In 1999, Gaye Straza created kai: a light, intoxicating scent of gardenia and other exotic white flowers. After years of avoiding perfumes, Straza created this soothing scent for herself, based on her experiences as a youth vacationing in the tropics. Originally offered only in Straza's exclusive Malibu fashion boutique, kai is now available to all in fragrance, bath, body and home products.

Perfection
My favorite fragrance. It is light, airy, soft, feminine, subtle and clean. I have many fragrances and this continues to be my favorite "go to" fragrance.

Disappearing Dollars and Scents
I heard about this scent from a YouTube beauty infulencer, and thought that it sounded like a scent I would LOVE. I ordered it, thinking the price was pretty standard especially if the scent was as good as some have raved about. $78 for a perfume isn't unheard of, but still on the pricey side considering the size of this fragrance. I was hugely disappointed, in terms of scent and longevity! I am used to paying a hefty price for over-hyped perfume, but this takes the cake! Imagine a white flower, and it's nice scent. That's all, a nice white flower. I see no reason to pay $78 for your typical white flower scent with the scent longevity of a few seconds. Sorry, I was expecting a whole lot more for the $78 price tag. The scent is nice, but again, it's just nice and is nothing to write home about. For the price, I am certain there are dupes that can do a much better job, especially when it comes to wear time. I wanted to absolutely love this product, and it left me underwhelmed. Save yourself the $78 and buy a fragrance with some staying power. To add insult to injury, I purchased the $50 roller-ball as well. The reason this review earned one star, is due to Nordstrom's fantastic return policy.

Favorite perfume
This is by far the best smelling perfume I have ever used. I receive compliments all the time about the smell which reminds me of being on vacation in Hawaii. The beautiful smell of gardenia is soft, delicate and sweet.

Kai Cologne
Years ago I was given Kai as a gift and have loved this scent for years...it is light and airy and smells like a bouquet of flowers. Can be worn a work or at play. I do have trouble finding it, however, and must go to the Spa at Nordstrom's to buy it...or order online.
I did not receive my free three other items....perhaps they forgot to enclose them.
But I do recommend Kai....a lovely fragrance.
