Kilian is actually my fave house so I’m so excited for this! I own 20 bottles from the house. I’m totally not addicted 😂😂 There’s a lot that aren’t sweet I think you might like and some that are. Playing With The Devil is a very dark spicy peach Sweet Redemption is a VERY oily amber and orange blossom scent. Voulez Vous Coucher Avec Moi is like a very classic 40’s scent with powdery vanilla, ylang-ylang, and woods. Smoke for the soul is a full on cannabis and eucalyptus scent. Smoky weed with menthol lmao
I’ve listened to several marketing videos put out by Kilian Hennessy and was very interested to hear his heritage and how he’s gone from Cognac to Perfumes. As for his creations, he’s secured that highly luxurious niche market. I haven’t gotten around to sampling them yet as I’m still working on MFK and Louis Vuitton releases right now. PS LOOOOVVVVEEEEEE YOUR REVIEWS. LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️
Great review. Good Girl Gone Bad is a bestseller and isn’t sweet. It starts off as an innocent floral, drys down much more sultry. The name fits. I really like it and I’m thinking about buying it, but Kilian fragrances are sooo expensive!
Hi Tom, love your reviews. I am recently getting in to 90s fragrances, and love YSL Yvresse and D&G Red Cap - thanks for your recommendations! I would love if you did a top 10 90s perfumes and gave some mini reviews as well as stories if you have them. Would love some more 90s perfume recommendations from you!
Ooh! This video reminded me of a question I wanted to ask for your Q&As... as part of an effort to clarify my thoughts about where I want to spend my money on perfumes I actually made a list (👀yeah I know!) of brands I’m just not bothered about. (I got to 16) Are there brands you just don’t have an interest in? I appreciate this may be a difficult topic to discuss as a reviewer and totally get it if you choose not to answer! Some of my reasons were being way overpriced, poor performance, hate the packaging, ... and some I can’t really explain! Killian is on my list btw! Lots of people love them, which is great! They just don’t appeal to me.
I think you might like Roses on Ice, it isn't as sweet as Angel's Share. I only own some of the My Kind of Love line, I haven't had a chance to smell any of these.
I'm normally a shy watcher. But it's Kilian. OK I'm a super fan but Dark Lord, a dark coffin in a morgue, way way too much, too dark for me. Not sweet Kilians hmm Smoke for the Soul, Pure Oud, Pearl Oud, Royal Leather, Light my Fire and although sweetish Rolling in Love, if you don't like that I'll eat my sock 🤣 great video and i do know what u mean, they are for the sweeter tooth. Actually Liasons Dangerous is a very vintage style floral more sharp than sweet
I wish Kilian would drop the dated ‘Edwardian Script’ font .... ugh .... so old looking for a fragrance that wants to be Modern, call me Kilian and I will astonish you with a new label. On to fragrances... I just got Angels Share, waited forever on the restock and I love it ... a boozy cinnamon blast! 💞
I’m not a big fan of Killian either . Some of them are okay but I haven’t yet found one that was WOW! And at that price they should be wow IMO. In regards to the last perfume you tried here, you don’t like sweet, juvenile tuberose but I think in a previous video you mentioned that you also don’t like medicinal tuberose scents. I suspect that you would not be a fan of Lutens’ Tubereuse Criminelle but I confess it is a secret love of mine. I say secret, not because I don’t want to admit I love it, but because it is one of those perfumes that I recognize may not have wide appeal so I tend to wear it when I am at home, alone, rather than when I am going out but I just love that menthol/camphor like opening. After 45 minutes to an hour that does moderate and then I think it would be safe to wear out. Unless of course, I spray it again just because I love the opening.
The two I really like are Straight to Heaven and Intoxicated. I don't personally find either of them particularly sweet. Intoxicated is cardamom heavy with a creamy vibe. STH is just gorgeous all round to me, shite performance though.
I am shocked to watch your video this time after buying a sample of Taste of heaven including absinth because I am a big fan of Rimbaud. Please review some absinth fragrances you like for me and Rimbaud.
The only one I’ve tried that I like is Straight to Heaven (I didn’t like it enough to own it though). I haven’t tried a whole lot of them, bc tbh, I gave up on trying them. It’s not so much the scents I don’t like as the way they wear, to me they smell flat/lifeless...I don’t really know how to explain it.
I haven’t liked any of by Kilian perfumes either. They’re all so sickeningly sweet and weak. Then someone sent me a 2ml sample of Moonlight In Heaven and it’s actually very nice . I really like it, but not enough to buy a full bottle. The biggest problem I have with by Kilian is that none of them project. You can spray it on 20 times and as soon as u go anywhere, a few mins later it’s a skin scent. It does last for hours but only u can smell It. It’s like they’re all very intimate scents. I sprayed it on 15 times and nobody smelled me. I could smell myself but nobody could smell me unless they hugged me. After 15 sprays I expect ppl to smell me and say something. But when u ask ppl if they smell your perfume and they say “what perfume”’ that’s not good . Not a fan of by Kilian. I really don’t get the hype of this house . I have concluded that many ppl are idiots, they will waste a lot of money on shit perfume if some famous person says they wear it . Don’t they know that all Kilian has to do is have a meeting with Rihanna and pay her a few million so she can say that she wears Love DONT be shy and they know ppl will buy a crap perfume just coz some bubble headed singer says she wears it. It’s crazy how many brainless ppl are in the world. Makes me lose hope for mankind.
I've tried 4 different Kilian scents. I tried Dark Lord, Intoxicated, Back to Black, and Vodka on the Rocks. They were all a fail to me. They were definately not sweet. One smelled like rubber tires, and one smelled like car motor oil. Just awful.
Finally by Kilian fragrance's reviews
I don’t remember if you spoke of Kilian Intoxicated before, but it’s heavenly. My favorite from them. Also 2 videos in 1 day? Ohh la la! Thanks Tom! 🥰
Kilian is actually my fave house so I’m so excited for this!
I own 20 bottles from the house. I’m totally not addicted 😂😂
There’s a lot that aren’t sweet I think you might like and some that are.
Playing With The Devil is a very dark spicy peach
Sweet Redemption is a VERY oily amber and orange blossom scent.
Voulez Vous Coucher Avec Moi is like a very classic 40’s scent with powdery vanilla, ylang-ylang, and woods.
Smoke for the soul is a full on cannabis and eucalyptus scent. Smoky weed with menthol lmao
Voulez is one of my fav. I love it ♥️
Tom, what a fab review....
You should try Black Phantom. Also, Back to Black and Angel's Share..they are a little sweet, but they are AMAZING!
Love your jumper where’s it from😍😍

PS LOOOOVVVVEEEEEE YOUR REVIEWS. LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️
The first lot of releases were gorgeous , Beyond Love , Back to Black and Dangerous Liasons I love ..... they were £125 when they first came out !!!
Exact! I remember first release Beyond love : gorgeous and quite unique as tuberose at the time wasn't everywhere
Beyond Love by Calice Becker is my Nr 1 perfume. So sad is discontinued. Amazing fragrance.
The only one I’ve tried is dangerous liaisons which I tried about 5 years ago and I loved it! Will have to try it again soon

I find you charming to watch as you test/describe/accept/reject fragrances. 😁
Apple Brandy and Black Phantom are my all time favorites of by Kilian

Dark Lord is my favorite of my Kilian collection

I'm so hyped for this one , kilian for me have some of my highest highs but lowest lows so it will be interesting to see what your thoughts are 🍀💚

Have you tried Tuberose Angelica from Jo Malone? First thing that came to my mind when you said you like green tuberose, I really recommend that one 😉
Yes I have, I thought it was lovely. And yes...fresh and green!
Great review!!! ✨😊✨
To me Woman In Gold smells like a lemon citrus custard. The vanilla is more like a vanilla creme instead of vanilla bean

You shouldn’t try Straight to Heaven!!! It’s not sweet. It’s my favorite after Single Malt.

Car motor oil has to be Dark Lord right?
