A Taste of Heaven is a unisex herbal gourmand. It revolves around a STRONG lavender note with cold, minty nuances like the winter-wind lavender of Gris Clair. The opening is a bit too lavender/medicinal for my tastes honestly – it projects like crazy and makes me worried I over sprayed every time I wear it, verging on headache territory. The sample sprayer seems to spray too much though. But just when I think I’m going to drown in bitter wormwood and minty lavender, they’re mellowed out by a sweet base of vanilla and tonka. A nice gourmand twist on the barbershoppy fougere, thankfully lacking the overly soapy, overdone masculine “cologne” notes. It’s fairly linear. Not sure it’s worth the price but it does smell good – straddling the line between clean and cuddly. Mild like. (just spray carefully!) Strong sillage, average longevity.

☆ Introduction ☆ I was captivated by this few times I got to sniff trough the Kilian line, choosing the scent I’d love. And this particular one really stoid out to me as a nice lavender containing scent I was looking for. Sweet, definitely lavender that is not flat. But as discovered, that it is listed ‘for men’, I kinda backed off and next time just put it on a blotter. After few months I decided to buy it and could not find it, later at some place, a refill was found in store for me and that is what I got. I found that on Kilian website there are no full bottle or travel size anymore, only refill. So I am glad that I got it.
☆ Fragrance ☆
It starts with a very bitter wormwood on me. Albeit softer if used only a little bit. After 10 minutes it goes to background thankfully and lavender mix is revealed with well balanced sweetness to it. It is blended like a dream and base is also great. It is definitely a gender universal fragrance to me. When you get a bit tired of florals and fruits, but don’t want any heavy woody overpowering mess they put out so often these days, this well crafted classic composition is a refreshing choice. Yum.

I tried ‘A Taste of Heaven’ on my skin at Saks store today. It took a long time to develop on my skin. After about an hour I started smelling a nice combination of Vanilla and Lavender with a warm and bitter herbal facet. I only had half spray on, so not much projection but in terms of longevity it seems to be good. I like the scent, it has an interesting depth and complexity. But to be honest it is pretty expensive for what it is. I know other works with this Lavender-Vanilla theme which smell better and can be had for a fraction of the price.

You’re in a barber shop getting prepped for a shave. You’re near a mountain spring carving your initials on the side of a tree. You’re at an ice cream parlor drinking a vanilla milkshake. A Taste of Heaven by By Killian.

I think it’s a crime to compare this heavenly scent to Pour Un Homme de Caron! This is a “taste of heaven” especially the warm vanilla dry down!

Not bad…. I find the lavendar and absinthe 2gether to be very sexy. Now add that hint of vanilla & smokey Tonka? NICE! Its a quality scent that lasts ages BUT IS IT WORTH THE $ TAG? No way…. Better options out there for a fraction of the cost. Projection is an average arms length & longevity is a weak 3 hrs on my skin.
sanchesvrn – :
Wow! I love the absinthe note and boy doesn’t it go well with Vanilla. I don’t know why it is labelled for men when it is so obviously unisex. There is nothing harsh here or particularly refreshing. It is a gorgeous, a little sweet, sophisticated absinthe vanilla beauty. The lavender blends really well with the absinthe but then again it is very well blended fragrance fullstop.
So lovely and bloomin addictive. I better start saving for a fb. It’s a shame the sillage and longevity are moderate but it’s still worth having. I feel I could wear this anywhere or anytime.
I’ve since discovered CJ Scents and Dusk is a good dupe for this pricey juice. I’m definitely buying Dusk.
ATB trans – :
This is an absolute stunner! Opening on a rather stark, chilly lavender note that blasts off my skin, like the mistral wind gushing over a dusty lavender field. It gradually mellows down on a lushious pillow of vanilla and tonka bean. I find it reminiscent of Jicky in the good old days……
Now, in general I’m not a great fan of vanilla in perfume, but in this scent I actually find it quite beautiful. The lavender keeps on giving this soft and compelling fragrance an interesting edge untill the end of the dry down. So not your average vanilla gourmand, but a lovely, lovely lavender perfume with a warm presence, that doesn’t overplay its wow!-factor.
Alex46 – :
Superb lavender. Beautiful combination with vanilla and absinthe. It’s gorgeous. Unique. Special.
The_KinsLayer – :
Trying this out to see how it works on me. So far like it, only tried 2 squirts so far and it seems to be doing a good job. Projection is medium but it seems to be lasting which I like.
This could be one of my evening fragrances has a nice sophisticated yet sweet scent.
goshapodkopaev – :
I bought a sample of this and tried it at work today. I immediately let my co-worker smell my wrist, and she said, “Of all the colognes I’ve ever smelled on you, this is my favorite.” Honestly, I can’t stop smelling myself. I love lavender scents, and this is a gorgeous, sexy lavender with syrupy vanilla and an herbal bite (the wormwood?) – deep, sweet, and a little spicy. A fresh lavender Oriental.
I think it does have a traditionally masculine edge to it, although my co-worker was surprised when I told her it was a scent for men. (I am female and I tend to prefer masculine or unisex scents.)
electroz – :
Ladies don’t be afraid to try this, I feel it’s unisex, very wearable for a confident woman. On first spray I get the Lavender note mixed with wormwood and bergamot, I actually find this phase quite relaxing and calming. It then settles to the most beautiful dry down of a vanilla, Amber,warm skin scent that’s quite soft in comparison to the opening but just moreish and so wearable.
Disa801 – :
We will travel here one last time – shed your mortal coil and step through the gateway to the unending beyond…one last time. That familiar white light suffocated you – your vision goes crimson, lavender, black…you’re lying in a plain of billowing lavender swimming in a sea of the sun’s white light. Your breath holds the lingering poison of absinthe – you had too much to drink on your afternoon frolic. The wind carries the scent of cinnamon and civet – the scent of your lover….where is she? In a state of slight panic, you race toward the edge of the woods. Geranium crunches under foot, thorny roses nip at your clothing, and orange blossoms float gently across your path guiding your steps. Whispy hands of oakmoss reach toward you, almost as if to stop you….the dress of your lover whips out of reach as you stumble toward her, the scent of her ambery musk teasing you. The vast emptiness swallows you – you pass through the threshold into purgatory. Your skin is lit aflame permeating the air in musky tonka and earthy patchouli. This is where you belong. Hand in hand, you dance with your lover – two pale vanilla skeletons dancing across these infinite spaces…forevermore.
Day 65 – Old World
Listening to: Dead Can Dance – All In Good Time
Notes: My perception of this scent has shifted over time – this fume is either a perfect recreation of a few fumes or an originator of them. This starts with a beautiful, yet fleeting, lavender and geranium accord mixed with a very potent wormwood (it’s real as I’ve smelled it in EO form many times). The top gives way to a vibrant rose and orange blossom which are swiftly overtaken by a potent and cozy cinnamon and musk with an intermittent civet keeping your nose on alert. The heart is weaved into a multi-faceted base of ambery vanilla, honeyed oakmoss, and a nutty tonka. I understand why people relate this to Caron Pour Un Homme as the lavender/civet/vanilla relation is undeniable. This fume also creates some of the vibe in Musc Ravaguer with the cinnamon and musk combo, the lavender and tonka of SL Gris Clair, and the honeyed oakmoss of many modern and vintage fumes. Even though this sounds like a lot, this fume is the best of all the aforementioned and creates a delightfully unisex entry into oriental fougeres that lasts comfortably for about 8 to 12 hours! Definitely warm and inviting!

Fragrance Review For A Taste of Heaven Kilian
Notes: African orange flower, geranium, bergamot, rose, wormwood, lavender, patchouli, oak moss, amber, vanilla tonka bean
A Taste of Heaven is a unisex aromatic fougere. This smells very nice. It has an Oriental flair, it’s dark, mysterious, floral, woodsy and ambery. This frag opens with a distinct bergamot citrus scent and lavender. The lavender would not be there if this wasn’t a fougere. It’s also slightly floral with another flower, geranium which in perfumery smells a bit like a rose. So this is a bit like a lavender and rose combo. The scent has a bitterness coming from wormwood and very woodsy not long into the fragrance’s performance. There’s patchouli and oak moss galore. It’s only missing some leather or animalic musk to make it even stronger. As it is it’s not too powerful it’s warm and spicy and very enjoyable, easy to wear. It also has a vanilla dry down. Sweet perfume. Girls don’t be afraid to experiment and wear fragrances like this. They are advertised as men’s fougeres but they are totally unisex and women can rock them too. I think of this as a very elegant formal evening cologne to wear with black dresses. Gorgeous aromatic Oriental floral fougere.
sAllahodin – :
Dark sexy and sweet,
I have always loved lavender and vanilla is one of my favourite notes as well. So it doesn’t surprise me that I love Taste of heaven as much as I do. It was love at first sniff for me.
Starts very herbal, soapy , minty but in a warm sweet sort of way, it’s amazing how refined this fragrance is. The quality is outstanding , it’s aromatic deep rich and dark bitter sweet lavender , it’s not overly fresh as it is more gourmand and heavy with the addition of the vanilla and patchouli ! It’s marketed as unisex and it certainly is very wearable by both sexes. Jersey is my other favourite lavender vanilla which is not as refined and not as dark as this one. Jersey is still casual but more elegant , taste is more dark mysterious , gourmand and sexy to me.
This will always be in my collection.
Kilian does advertise this as unisex not as male.

@ rprovenz… This is priceless! “You smell good or you don’t. This smells good.”
Dead-on. Worthy of being centered on my tombstone!

I finally pulled the trigger on this cologne, after picking up multiple samples of it from Lucky Scent here in Los Angeles. I tested this on the strip first and kind of didnt like the way it came out. When i got the sample and put it on my skin this was a whole different game. I smelled alot of Lavender. It kind of had a cooling sensaition upon applying it. This fragrance lasted me all day. By no way does it feel or smell feminine with this fragrance. Performance was great, Sillage was good, Projection was good. Alot of coworkers complimented me and asked where did I buy it from. The dry down is even great the vanilla comes out along with the Tonka. Great Blind Buy.
agapik – :
I’m wearing this today, and I’m enjoying it a lot. I won’t deny the similarity between this and Pour un Homme de Caron, but its not the spitting image that some proclaim. Caron is one of my favorite fragrances, so I figured I’d enjoy this. I think the notes are a little deeper, and the vanilla at the end is very warm and sexy. While I really do like this fragrance, I don’t think its worth the price tag. Again, it is vary similar to Caron, but it has very nice streak of oakmoss or anise breaking it up, so its almost like a mix of Pour un Homme de Caron and Rive Gauche or Azzaro. A Taste of Heaven is a lovely scent, and I have no problem dropping a few bucks on a fragrance that I’m in love with, but I’m not in love with this enough to justify the price it fetches. I don’t want to say that I’m underwhelmed, I just expected a little more considering the price tag.
eunick – :
I’m just going to make a quick review and say that I was a little disappointed with this one.
The second fragrance of Kilian that I test and quickly disliked. I can’t even tell what it smell like because it was after all a quick sample.
Also, the tester in the store was broken so the sales lady just rubbed a strip of paper on the point of the bottle so I could get a little taste.
Maybe I didn’t like it because it was sampled like that, but I will try to get a vial sample to get a proper taste and will update after.
shylbert – :
The opening is nice, and the wormwood definitely gives this interesting character, but this dries down to mothballs on my skin. Nope.
lolipoper – :
This is similar to Pour un Homme by Caron as virtually everyone else has mentioned. However, I feel that the vanilla is far more prominent here. It’s also deeper, bolder, and more refined. The scent in itself is very close to the Caron but with more depth. Both are winners in my book.
Jeagnonee – :
and finally, we arrive at 5/5 of the perfume samples i have from the ‘by kilian’ line, and i definitely saved the worst for last. as per my other reviews, i think this is more a case of skin chemistry rather than the perfume itself.
this was by far the strongest of the 5 i tried, (look at my reviews to see the others ones) and the ‘hairspray’ feeling i mentioned in those is here, in just one word, repelling. it seems almost as though most of this perfume is made from the strange ‘fuzzy’, chemical note i’ve been experiencing in the others from this line.
beneath that, i honestly can’t describe what this is. it doesn’t smell of lavender, absinthe, or in fact any of the notes on here. on my skin, this is just a slew of the above mentioned note, some indistinct ‘masculine’ notes, (like shaving cream, as mentioned below, which mixed with the ‘hairspray’ just smells repugnant.) and a sickly, powdery vanilla in the dry-down. it just smells wrong on my skin.
again, for the price, ridiculous. sillage and longevity seem (unfortunately, in my case) pretty good though. just… eurgh.
Apelmon – :
You feel as you are lookin’ at a painting on which a beautiful woman is smiling to you .. Over all 10/10
zup – :
This one introduced to me the note of wormwood, absinth. I thought great, this is an awesome note and i started looking form more wormwood perfumes.
So i,ve tried absinth and fou d’absinthe and i thought they were both great.
But the absinth in there smelled different, smoother and more relaxed.
In this, that sharp, bittersweet edge is what i thought absinth wass all about but i was wrong.
Then i realized that this bittersweet, acrimonious touch arized from the combination with the lavender and wow it,s great. (normally hate lavender fragrances)
The only thing i i don,t really like is the powderiness. Someone mentioned that in the end she smelled like mothballs, and i get what she means. All in all a good scent.
My father don,t like fragrances but i sometimes use him as a test rabbit When he,s not paying attention, i sneek in and spray it on his hand. He then says, common, not again, get away, and for this one time he said “hmmm, that,s a good one”
timati092 – :
Expensive for caron un homme copy! I prefer caron scent & le male for lavender and vanilla combination!
tanru – :
Similar to Caron’s Pour un Homme but better. Better raw materials, softer, more complex, and ultimately not as harsh and pungent. A much refined improvement on a classic.
fesfen – :
Similar to Caron as one said before, but less good. 5/10
arabella – :
Rocky road for me, extremely sweet at the beginning, I get lots of vanilla with a hint of lavender and strong mossy-mushroomy aromas at the same time. Quite a contrast. Vanilla fades away quickly moss develops and amber joins at this point giving it extra warmth and making it more bearable. This is something for classic lovers oakmoss is really interesting here, one of the most pronounced cases I’ve encountered so far. I’d say it’s something for classic gentleman: safe & inoffensive. Not my cup of tea unfortunately.
ipsat4360 – :
This is not a frangrance.I can smell 5 or more different perfumes from this one during his very long dry down.Is the most versatile i’ve smelled.This is art indeed.
WER05 – :
Agree with mr. Hunter.
I have compared ToH with PuH, and though they both end the same way, with an H, they are not the same overall. No I’m kidding.
Really, when comparing the two it’s like comparing Placido Domingo (ToH) to Jose Carreras (PuH), that is: no match at all. Domingo is so much better it is a mystery Carreras ever became a star.
Perhaps PuH has been reformulated, and Carreras used to sound like Jussi Björling. Now there’s a match.
ToH is a gorgeous gourmand vanilla, brulee style, and then a gorgeous lavender, Caldey Island quality, with a single tune of wormwood making it all more interesting.
It is almost too well done, because it smells like real food and real etheric oils. And if so, why not just buy a cheap (and real) lavender etheric oil and some real vanilla pudding and wear some under your coat?
It is like going to an art museum and watch pictures of nature. Then why not just go out in nature? Where is the art? Is it the wormwood? Hmm.
Jury is still out whether I will buy a bottle, because it is very expensive.
8/10

A beautiful smell of lavender and vanilla. This scent is basically a remake of Caron’s Pour Un Homme but done with top notch ingredients.
A very nice scent though very pricey.
pompyrhm018Diobtetty – :
Smells like a pack of Smarties, or maybe Necco wafers, including a decent dose of the plastic packaging. I love lavender, I love absinthe accords, but this was not good!
new_blood_73 – :
At first I was intrigued by the heady whoosh of lavender filling my nostrils, but then moments later I noticed something rather peculiar slumping in the background.
A plastic, doughy sweetness that reminded me very much of a child’s arts and crafts table; moulding putty and globs of Pritt Stick :/
I can only assume this was down to the costus, oakmoss and vanilla combination. As the lavender faded, this rubber putty mess crept forwards and became rather unpleasant.
Eventually, after an hour or so, it died down into something less offensive and reminded me vaguely of “Brut” body spray. That old chestnut from the 70s.
Anyway, really not for me.
InCCor – :
It’s a classical fougere scent but not very harsh – the vanilla sweetens the pill. Still lavender and wormwood are the key players so if you are not into them keep at bay! It’s not bad but definitely not heaven, at least not for me. More of a lavender&vanilla bath foam really. And my association is for sure not green – it’s lavender again!
Сережечка – :
In simplest terms, straight up lavender and vanilla combo with the added twist of wormwood.
Now I’m prepared to concede that this mellows out quite nicely. Late on, the quality, in particular, of a mildly sweet lavender, hewn of its rough edges, is obvious. Getting to that point, though, demands the sort of effort and patience that ought not to be a prerequisite for a fragrance at this price point.
The first hour or so is harsh, the three main notes seemingly working at cross purposes: the lavender is unpleasantly sour, the absinthe more akin to rubbing alcohol than a boozy kick and the vanilla neither here nor there. The comparison to an old-fashioned barber shop (and shaving cream) is apt, but only because it actually reminds me more of the solution used in such establishments to sterlize utensils – usually comprised of 80% alcohol to which several drops of questionable quality essential oil have been added.
A Taste Of Heaven is a good fragrance – a very good one, even – at its core. I just wish I could get past the the discordant opening threshold. Perhaps in time, I will.
lubkarev – :
I remember the smell of wormwood. It smells at once green and bitter, like something which, if ingested, would make you pretty sick, pretty quickly. Which is basically how wormwood works…. so yes, it smells of wormwood. I get that pretty high in the mix. It’s also got hits of lavender burnt on a charcoal briquette, of oakmoss, and I do detect the bergamot in there, though it is chained into submission by the vanilla and tonka. Never 100% sure about combining the puddingy gourmands with the fruit course, but it is here, mercifully, Wormwood, in all itt’s grating glory, holds the big stick. So… why do I love it so? Because it smells like this. Here’s the picture. A dark, dark, rainy night in the city. There’s screams (of mirth or anger, it matters not), raised male voices, a car door slams. Rain drops fall into the puddles in the roads and pavements, leaving ever growing ripples which merge into each other as the rain gets heavier. A gentleman of the road huddles in a shop doorway, muttering profanities as he draws his cardboard bedding tighter about his body. Stiletto heels click and clatter by. A spliff moves swiftly by, trailing it’s smoke which gently strokes your nostril and hurriedly chases after it’s origin again, like a dog that momentarily halted to pee on a lamp-post and got yanked when it’s owner tightened the leash. Neon signs, reflected in the puddles, upside down, back to front “GIRLS XXX”, “TROCADERO” “BENNY’S BAR”. To me, it will always be a strong, no-nonsense witchy woman, who isn’t afraid of the dangerous dark, because she owns it and doesn’t freak out when the rain falls. Something beautiful.
mko745speagoessenda – :
I’ll just start by saying that By Killian as a brand has an excellent brand image and the packaging and presentation of the products is nothing short of stunning.
The reason I mention this after several reviews(and purchases) of By Killian fragrances is because of the evocative colour of this juice. It works really well in the ad campaign with the slighty macabre, almost gothic old world styling. That menacing green colour implies some kind of magic elixir, maybe a poison or psychotropic liquor like Absynthe.
Well looks can be deceiving because this is quite a safe outing from the house but at the same time is quite a unique take on the lavender theme.
Didn’t make me immediately stand up and take notice like Straight to heaven did but it’s an instantly likable fragrance.
An interesting blend which opens with bergamot and then quickly becomes a green scent in a way? fresh and a bit mossy maybe the absinthe too?
In the main I can detect lavender backed by vanilla and tonka which is really well done and also has qualities which make for a soft pleasant drydown.
Needless to say the blend is really good and it’s hard to pick out the individual notes.
Good but not great, if it speaks to you and you can afford it I say go for it.
anvar1978 – :
This is a sweet, very rich, thick, vanilla lavander fragrance. It is rather linear (as I noticed with most Kilians, they are blended so nice its almost like smelling one whole solid note) but I’m ok with linear because it smells fantastic. I get a strong lavander with a deep rich almost gourmandish vanilla. Longevity is 10+ on me. A deffinate winner from the Kilian house.
AureliaGoro – :
So, I watched that movie “The Raven,” starring John Cusack during Halloween and found it quite good. As I watched it, I wondered if there was a fragrance out there that featured Absinthe.
Guess, I’ve come late to the party, as everyone already knows this fragrance, but I’ve recently discovered it and I have to say, that it hit the mark for me.
Yes, it’s expensive, as most high end/niche fragrances tend to be, but the quality of the ingredients, as well as the artful combination of aromatic, medicinal and sweet, makes it just so fantastic.
I think it is a perfect Autumn scent for a collection.
And if you’re living in a cold, dreary city, like Baltimore and you like dark things: literature, poetry, horror films or you are a Gother, then you owe it to yourself to at least get a sample of this fragrance and see if it makes your inner ‘Dark Child’ smile.
If Edgar Allen Poe had access to this fragrance, he surely would’ve worn it!
Alexa_1986 – :
Take Caron Pour Un Homme and put a bunch of money into the ingredients and this is what you’ll get.
A Taste of Heaven features a robust, bright lavender note supported by a sturdy, yet soft vanilla base. Absinthe provides its spicy-green edge and gives it all a bit of a twist–just enough to keep things interesting without interfering with the main theme of the composition. The fragrance follows a fairly simple plot: It opens with the lavender strong and upfront, and as the lavender settles the absinthe and vanilla become more apparent. Eventually the vanilla and lavender achieve a balance and the fragrance takes on a very mellow, peaceful feeling for the remainder of its life. Despite its simplicity, ATOH smells wonderful, and the quality of ingredients are beyond reproach–the vanilla is smooth and rich, the lavender bright and lively, and the absinthe green and pleasantly mordant.
Projection is solid to strong and the longevity is superb. This one lasts on me for 12 hours every time. There’s really no need to go heavy with ATOH, 2 or 3 sprays should do you just about right.
I find A Taste of Heaven very calming and that it creates a friendly, tranquil aura. It doesn’t dominate a situation, but it does not shy away either. At the same time, it’s not demanding of its host or audience. It’s easy. Appropriate for all but the hottest months of the year, this is a fragrance that can be dressed up or down and wouldn’t be out of place at the movies or the opera.
A Taste of Heaven is something I will always enjoy and it occasionally finds itself on my “Top 5” list. Definitely worth sampling and sniffing out to see if it works for you.

164) Pour un Mâle
A marriage between “Pour un Homme” by Caron, and “Fleur du Mâle” by Jean-Paul Gaultier. A totally lavender lavender in the first moments, with aspects of moist and aromatic undergrowth, mixed with some rose and citrus notes, bergamot and geranium for a fairly “aromatherapy” effect. Then the bottom evolves into notes of vanilla, woody, powdery and leathery, animal enough, with an suit effect as in Zino. Interesting work on a lavender who wants to be different, but in the end is not so innovative.
Must I say that the price is exaggerated? this is the price of packaging, the rest of the usual discour on luxury ingredients is the eternal commercial blah blah lie.

This is for men but when I got this scent in came with a bunch of Killian samples and so I put this one without noticing it was cologne, but let me tell you it smells wonderful and though my fav scent from killian is back to black, I got a million compliments on the scent. So if you’re a chick try the scent anyway it mild enough to pass as unisex
valdisgeorgin – :

sete – :
Lavender and vanilla, amazing combination. I don’t get much absinthe at all out of this and none of the bitterness usually associated with that scent, so it’s a bit mislabeled and colored. It’s not green at all to me but warm and comforting. I think it is easily unisex and one of the best true lavenders.
offentendeasp – :
Spicy fresh lavender and very obviously masculine to me. It smells kind of old school, and I think that’s neat.
skachayigrunatel – :
While I do think this smells nice I feel like I smell like an older mans aftershave. I even think it has a mans deodorant quality to it. It is soft but to masculine for me.
Edit: The longevity and sillage is amazing on this! Too bad I would not wear it. After a few hours the drydown is quite soft and nice.

Kilian ‘A Taste of Heaven: Absinthe Verte’ smells exactly like Cussons ‘Imperial Leather’ soap. This brand of soap was everywhere when I was growing up (in England). Cussons have a website – check it out, apparently they have been making fragrances since the C18th. You can still buy a range of Imperial Leather toiletries – soap, deodorant, talc. They have added new flavours ‘For Her’, ‘Sporty’, ‘Sensitive Skin’ blah, blah, blah. Ignore everything except the original variety. You can buy four big bars of luxury Imperial Leather soap for £1.00 from Pound Shops and similar outlets. My question: why pay more? Do not imagine from these facts that Kilian’s fragrance is cheap, nasty, bad. On the contrary, Kilian’s fragrance is truly lovely – warm, spicy, leathery, soapy. Longevity and sillage are, ahem, imperial and this seems to be the only gain you get over using the soap which gives a more subtle, close to the skin fragrance. The source of wonder you should take from this is that Cussons Imperial Leather can give us a very high quality fragrance for just a few pennies. I shall be buying some Imperial Leather goodies asap and afterwards if anyone asks me how I smell so good I shall say it is Kilian… Yes, I am that naughty. Fade on maniacal laughter.

I’ve been revisiting this one as of late and I’m starting to think it’s the standout of the Kilian line. It’s a very unique and complex take on lavender that lasts extremely well and has a beautiful, mineral dry down. It changes a good amount while you wear it, and it seems to invoke a whole slew of scent memories for me. It’s an intriguing, relaxing blend whose notes seem like they should clash or perhaps be overly floral, but it’s not at all. A great, unisex fragrance that brings some dirtiness to what might otherwise be a predictable lavender. Great stuff!
