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.

Fresh kai

I love this air freshener! I live in a 110 year old house that always smells like an old house. This is the first air freshener that covers the smell with out being overwhelming. The first couple days I put it out, I had to move it around to different rooms because it seemed to strong. However after a week, it was perfect and has stayed that way. Kai smells so light and fresh! Worth every penny to vanquish the old ghost smell from my bungalow.

Great Scent but STRONG

I purchased this home diffuser based upon the other reviews that I've read. It is indeed a wonderful scent. My ONLY negative is that it is a very STRONG scent. I did not put in all of the reeds as they suggested. I only used 8. Even so, I wound up having to move the diffuser to an alternate location after a couple of hours as the scent was so strong. I do not have any breathing issues or asthma but I would caution anyone who did to reconsider this purchase. Overall, I'm very happy with this.

Wonderful aroma

The smell is very floral and strong. Don't stick in all the reeds of you have a small space. I only put in 3 of them and the whole first floor of my house is covered. I am going to pour some of the liquid into a smaller bottle so my bathroom will smell nice. I will buy this again.

Great Gift for Yourself or Others

I absolutely love the KAI diffuser. I have a few in my home, and I constantly receive compliments on the beautiful scent in my home - especially nice since I have 3 dogs. I have purchased the diffuser for several friends because it's something everyone always comments on, and it's a great gift for the person who already has everything.

Beautiful scent

It is a lovely scent. I only have 5 reeds in because it is very strong which means it will last for a long time. When I first bought it, I put all the reeds in and had to take them all of them out except the 5 left about 15 minutes later.

Lasts for months

I was walking in a Nordstrom shop when I was surrounded by a beautiful scent and asked the sales lady what the scent was: "Kai, isn't it beautiful?" I purchased it, and have long enjoyed the scent throughout my home. Friends have commented on the smell and it really does smell like soft gardenias.
