Basic solid floral fragrance - unfortunately the certain something is missing here
On this fragrance, with the name in question, which I spell as a non-Frenchman steadily wrong and therefore decided not to write it out at all, I became aware of a very friendly perfumer who had the Kilian in the souk.
In principle, I am a friend of floral fragrances and a rose or tuberose in the fragrance pyramid gives a fragrance a bonus point with me in advance.
Nevertheless, even with fragrances that contain my favorite favorite notes, I am always curious to see how well they harmonize with the other fragrance notes, how well they are balanced, override each other or complement each other.
Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed by the Kilian here, or at least not positively surprised or amazed.
My two favorites, the rose and the tuberose I perceive very strongly and practically also through the entire course of the fragrance, but quite isolated. A touch of ylang-ylang is present for a few minutes, as well as possibly jasmine. The gardenia may well be strongly perceptible, perhaps I just have a hard time distinguishing it from tuberose.
The woods and vanilla, as you might expect, are not perceptible in the top notes, but form a nice base after a few hours, which don't really add specialness to the scent, but do make it a bit more durable. Rose and tuberose remain present throughout and can also be smelled reasonably far and not just skin deep.
The durability overall is acceptable, a few hours it is definitely well noticeable, but has no great sillage such as Atomic Rose .
The fragrance is yes in the community relatively clearly classified as feminine, which I can understand, but not necessarily confirm. Clearly, is such a floral fragrance without corners and edges less masculine than many others and also when spraying on you think for a brief moment, whether you would not rather assign the fragrance to his girlfriend.
Nevertheless, I associate with the fragrance quite a well-dressed, stylish and self-confident appearing younger man, for example when going out, at balls or fancy events. I would put it this way: as a women's fragrance may be the Kilian little special and get fierce competition within their own ranks regarding Anizehungskraft and appearance, as a man, however, you can definitely stand out if you wear it and radiate a bit of self-confidence, openness and taste for unconventional.
