Kana Preta by Água de Cabo Verde

Kana Preta: A Spicy Island Escape from Cape Verde

Água de Cabo Verde introduces Kana Preta, a new oriental spicy fragrance designed for both women and men. Launched in 2026, this creation by perfumer Cristian Calabro stands out for its warm, enveloping character.

The scent opens with bergamot, cinnamon, saffron, and elemi. Its heart blends coconut, tobacco, nutmeg, and grogue, the traditional Cape Verdean spirit. The base rests on precious woods, vanilla, benzoin, amber, and whisky.

Kana Preta belongs to the oriental spicy olfactive family, a style that thrives on contrasts between freshness and depth. The top is bright with bergamot, while cinnamon and saffron deliver instant warmth. Elemi, an uncommon resin, adds a subtle balsamic touch.

In the heart, coconut softens the pairing of tobacco and nutmeg, making it more approachable. Grog, a rustic distillate from the islands, introduces a slightly alcoholic, coastal vibe that connects the fragrance to its origins. The result is unexpected yet balanced.

The base is warm and long-lasting. Precious woods provide structure, while vanilla and benzoin add sweetness. Amber and whisky round out the trail with resinous, lightly smoky nuances, creating a sense of comfort and intrigue.

Key accords include warm spicy, amber, woody, and fresh spicy, with vanillic and tobacco facets. Sweet, citrusy, and aromatic hints complete the composition, making Kana Preta versatile and complex.

As a unisex fragrance, it adapts to many personalities and occasions. Its intense nature makes it ideal for cooler weather or special evenings when you want to make a lasting impression.

Kana Preta is for perfume lovers who enjoy bold, characterful scents with a love for spices and rich, enveloping blends. Both men and women looking for something exotic and refined will appreciate its distinctive signature.

Kana Preta is a bold and well-crafted release that pays olfactory tribute to Cape Verde. By balancing daring ingredients with a sweet, woody base, it proves to be a memorable choice for anyone ready to explore new sensory territories.
