مربای گل رز
این یه واقعیت شگفت انگیز از شیمیه عطره که برداشتنِ دو اتم هیدروژنِ ناچیز از داماسکون (مولکولی که بوی رز میده)، اون رو تبدیل به یه رایحه مربامانند از رز می کنه (مثل این می مونه که باعث پختنش میشه). مربای گل رز یکی از لذیذ ترین چیزهاییه که وجود داره و، بهمراه آرتیشو ها، یکی از معدود فرصتهاییه که ما واسه نشون دادن برتریمون بر گل ها با خوردن اون ها داریم. لیه‌زون دنژغُز یه عطر رزی شیرین با درخشندگی گل رز هست که دقیقا تو چیزی بین تازگی و خوردنی بودن رها شده. من به طور کلی علاقه ای به عطرهای رز ندارم، مگه موقعی که خودش از گل پوشیده شده باشه، اما لیِه‌زون دنژغز یه نمونه ی زیبای غیر معمول(استثناء) تو این ژانر هست. اگه شما آرزو دارید یه نسخه ی رزی از عطر ژادُغ پیدا کنید، این خودشه.
پیشنهادش میکنم.

It smells a bit like a fruity tropical cocktail that is not sweet. Quite natural smelling.
I think my skin has amped up the blackcurrant leaf and geranium note and put it out of balance. I do like the coconut and fruit. I can’t say I get that much rose.
After a short while the oak moss, musk, Vetiver and wood notes start to do their thing. This is my favourite stage.
There is quite a similarity with 4160 Tuesday’s Rose Ribes.
It’s a scent for casual wear for me. Good longevity and sillage.
I might love it lol but I can’t afford it. Does Kilian ever put a foot wrong. Another success.
Bad_Shurik – :
Smells like Une Rose Vermeille and J’Adore had a baby. Nothing dangerous here, just a blissful harmony of peaches, soft jasmine and rose jam. Smells wonderful for four hours and turns into pretty much skin scent after that. Still, as a fan of Une Rose Vermeille and J’Adore, I love it.
Skillters – :
Liaisons Dangereuses scrubs down with Ivory soap in a hot shower while drinking chardonnay, then does something extremely kinky with peaches.
For a long time.
Peraemopefe – :
I have it, the unopened box. I reminisce on my experience of it because I’m 1/2 way ready to. Exchange it for something more outspoken and distinctive because after all that’s what a Kilan is!
The tartness of the fruit in the dry down had me questioning this, along with I guess the Musk. BUT THE Ope Wasn’t so incred Gorgeous!!!
And thinking of glen close of the first movie and Ryan Philippe of the 90s version I cannot help feel that despite my dislike I should keep it to experience it over and over again. Because part of the actual storyline was the grand amour and the sweet infatuation, the slight disappointment but the need to do it again! The game that is lost and won was all in the subtleties. And behind the rose and the the fruit lies the subtlety. You may not like it but that is the story. Maybe I should keep it
55DVA – :
Fruity, yes, but with a certain magnetic quality that keep me coming back for another sniff. Boozy, I think. Good longevity and projection too.
ilmir7 – :
Notes of Ripe fruit (plum, apple, peach, blackcurrant), warm cinnamon and a delicious rose form a fragrance that sounds yummy. And it smells tasty too. A quality fragrance, an exceptional blend for the sweet tooth, but smells “external” on me. Other fragrances manage to become part of me when i wear them. This one refuses to do so. It is what it is – not to be worn, but to be eaten. Fair enough.
p.s. Don’t know if it’s inspired by de Laclos’ novel, but let’s say it is, then for all those who say there is nothing dangerous here, then read the novel (highly recommend it) and you will see for yourself how dangerous sweet talk can be.

hunt6527 – :
To me the dry down of this fragrance reminds me of a less intense and casually confident Creed Aventus for Her.
I can’t really envision seeing many men wearing this on its own. Its definitely quite feminine in a tropical peaches n’ cream kind of way.
However, a lot of guys may appreciate this offering after layering it on top of Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather 16.
co-co – :
Nothing dangerous here. Sweet fruity scent.
atowletty – :
Meh. Not for me. Though it does exactly what it says on the tin: fruity chypre. Rosy, blackcurranty, fresh at first, then warmth, but still with a fruity sharpness coming through. Also, definitely high quality. But you have to really like this sort of thing, and it’s not particularly imaginative.
kanackova – :
Kilian liasons dangerouses is exactly what I imagined while looking at it’s notes list but I like it more than my expectation
Peach,plum and blackcurrant are not my most favorite fruity notes and they’re all very present here but appear in the best possible way.I can also detect coconut but not as consistent as peach or plum.it comes and goes.fruits are almost ripe and sweet but not sickly and rose mingles softly and beautifully.I can’t detect geranium which is good since I don’t care about it
It’s fruity,mostly peachy vibe lingers all through it’s life.on my skin base notes showup soon.though musk and sandalwood are subtle and softly creamy they’re both easily detectable.it has such a gentle,pleasant,beautiful and sensual drydown that I’m sure that if I was rich enough I wouldn’t hesitate buying a bottle but now I have to save for more loved ones
It’s wearable year round,suitable for day wear as well as evenings but I’d prefer it in mild weather
Longevity is about 7 hours on my skin and sillage is moderate
Of you would like a pleasant,refind and charming peachy rose with enough soft woods and musk mallow to ground and deepen it,it would be a safe blind buy.even if peachy rose isn’t your thing I recommend you to try it.I’m also not keen on it but I enjoy liaisons dangerouses(by the way I don’t see anything dangerous here)
kilian is one of my favorite niche brands.until now I’ve tried six feminine perfumes from this brand and I liked them all
❤❤❤❤

Bazı parfümleri hangi kafayla, neyini beğenerek aldığımı anlayamıyorum. Bu da onlardan birisi. Parfüm alırken acele etmem, önceden okur ve incelerim. Sanırım bu parfüm de kendimi kaybedip 4 ten fazla parfüm kokladığımda aldıklarımdan birisi. Şekerli, bir karakteri olmayan bir parfüm. Daha çok bayanlara kullanımına uygun. Hindistan cevizi, erik ve gül karışımı ilk yarım saat sonrasında sabit şekilde gidiyor. Bağırmıyor ama benim bir süre sonra başımı ağrıtıyor. Eğer ilginizi çeken bir parfüm ise kolunuza sıktıktan sonra en az yarım saat geçirin ve öyle karar verin. Adını çağrıştıran birşey yok. Aslında “sıkıcı dersler” denilmiş olsa daha uygun olacakmış.
tesuserdrfv – :
This is fun and cheeky, the topnotes cycling rapidly from blackcurrant to plum to a tangy peach note which ultimately sticks around. There is a nice, fleshy rose note that keeps everything perfumey rather than candylike. I suspect the listed basenotes also add to this quality, although they only present themselves on my skin in minute amounts, if at all. It does smell like some sort of 1990s shampoo — Herbal Essences, maybe? Someone who misses that sort of smell would do well with this perfume.
YanA100855 – :
Nice and peachy, with some ripe plum and geranium. Maybe just a tiny tiny hint of musk, but not really. Like another reviewer mentioned, it can smell a bit like gummy candy, if you think about it too much. But the rose tempers any mawkish sweetness.
Gueplecem – :
As a man…love it on my skin. Powerfull rose that last throughout with a soft oak moss. Imagine dry roses in a wooden drawer. Not a huge projection, but it garnered a lot of “OMG! You smell Good!” on the up close.
More of a date night/dinner party scent.
Once again as a MAN, i DO NOT like it on clothes. Definately get others bad reviews of it here.
Over poweringly fruity and i get the “grandma” “shampoo” vibe. Gummy Peaches and jelly with rose.
Blind buy that i almost resold till i tried it soley on the skin.
steelhawk1 – :
This could be such a good fragrance if they removed the geranium. To me the mix geranium rose is too much. Opens up nicely but then the geranium rose kicks in and thats it for me. Not the best from Kilian
Scent: 6/10
Longevity: 7/10
Sillage: 6/10
Overall: 6.3
Save your money get a designer there are plenty that smell like Kilians or event better. The fact that this guy is selling these perfumes under exclusive package is hilarious. You do pay the package, the juice has lots of room to improve.
slj198Bessinepome – :
Definitively a playfull, inviting, Peachy, Juicy, and Looong
lasting scent. Will make Shine Bright Your Day.
Like all by Kilian creations, Quality is Here.
KIBORG29 – :
I purchase this in Mannheim, Germany in winter 2009 for $75.My goodness the notes take me to a fairground where you smell the pies, cakes, breads, cotton candy and hearing laughter. This scent will put a smile upon on your face.This product suppose to be unisex, but I can not vision a man wearing this. The notes are fruity and very sweet, a little musk can be smelled from the bottle. I love the packaging which gives you a key to open the lacquer case. I keep it on my dresser.
Eiforiya – :
FIRST IMPRESSIONS ONLY: if you like peaches, plums with a soft backdrop or Rose- you’re gonna really appreciate this blend…. Personality, plum is a note i would like to see featured in MORE fragrances…. If done well like in Bobd N0. 9 Andy Warhol [SUNGLASSES BOTTLE] or Tom Ford’s Plum Japonais it can be a signature/masterpiece in your collection… Having owned 7 By Kilian’s to date- on a personal level, the openings don’t overwhelm me, but the heart and dry-down has spectacular all over it!!! ,Full review to come!
exu348Bessinepome – :
I have 6 x 1.5ml By Kilian vials, assorted fragrances
Shora_81 – :
Opens with a delectable sweet peach that is beautifully supported by a soft rose, that results in a fun but elegant first impression. At first spritz I thought it would turn into a must have, but soon after spraying, it started to weaken. I found that I had to keep trying to “find” it…waving my wrist around or trying to waft some up to my nose by flapping my shirt up and down. Then in an hour or two it was gone. I feel like all the money and effort was spent on the opening and not enough on providing decent longevity and scent development. And at it’s current price point, that’s unforgivable. What a bummer, really wanted to love this.
SHOOGSENCANIA – :
Cold peach jam, old-fashioned rose soap, and something quirky, vinyl, perhaps? The subtitle to this perfume may be more apt than the proper name. As noted in previous reviews, this is some seriously incongruent marketing. Not necessarily the other By Kilians, but this one specifically. I think this would be a nice, unique scent for someone whose skin did well with rose. I find the sillage and duration to be respectable. It’s a good scent, just not for me.
GabbazovBe – :
Recently sampled this perfume and I was in love with the rose and coconut mixture. However it does not stick to my skin at all!!! Within 3 hours I cannot smell it at all and with a scent like this I want it going on all day so will not purchase and on to try a find another coconut and rose scent.
evgen40rus – :
Sampled this recently and would have to agree with some reviewers commentary that this leans more on the feminine side of unisex fragrances.
Not really taken with it,the plum note seems a bit sweet,no doubt bolstered by the fruity trio of peach,coconut and blackcurrant and the abundant vanilla note.
I would like the base notes to come more into play.A more prominent geranium,vetiver and cinnamon would make this last a lot longer than it does and add a manly edge and enhanced longevity.It becomes a skin scent within a few hours.
This is almost verging on the vibe I get from Bond No 9 Manhattan minus the chocolate accord.
The plum note doesn’t hold a candle to the gorgeous, rich and spicy note from my favorite plumcentric perfume TF Plum Japonais.
Sample gladly used and quickly forgotten.
milku – :
tutte le volte che mi imbatto in un profumo fruttato penso sempre che si tratta di qualcosa concepito per adolescenti (a proposito di “typical me”). mi sono avvicinata a questo accordo senza alcun pregiudizio ma ecco che, BAM, ventata iniziale di pesca e prugna, assai simile a qualunque acqua aromatica per il corpo di basso costo o a un qualsiasi shampoo alla frutta da supermercato. poi spunta la rosa che, su questa base dolciastra, non riesce mai a svincolarsi e a rendere appieno. la complessità della teorica piramide olfattiva io non la percepisco per nulla, tanto che, superata la fase “teen”, non riesco a beccare nessuna delle note tipiche del fondo. considerato il costo di questa creazione, io mi terrei a debita distanza. relazioni pericolosissime.

Fragrance Review For Liaisons Dangereuses Kilian
Top Notes peach black currant coconut plum
Middle Notes cinnamon, geranium, rose ambrette
Base Note vetiver, musk, sandalwood, oak moss, woodsy notes vanilla
This is such a beautiful fragrance. It’s fruity in the style of Femme by Rochas but not as intense. It’s also a chypre and the exquisite dual nature of the perfume gives it some complexity. I love the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by de Laclos and the movie with Glenn Close and thought: hm I wonder what a fragrance with such a moniker would smell like. I was hoping it would become Oriental and incense, something dark and a tad “evil” along the lines of Magie Noire and Krizia Teatro Alla Scala. But no such luck. This has a delicious coconut and peach combination I like. It’s fruity and sweet but not fruit shampoo. There is a touch of cinnamon and spices. It then turns into a rose. A beautiful and very romantic rose. I do find that the rose at least tries to evoke the 18th century and the Ancien Regime the old aristocracy before the French Revolution. It’s like an old rose that has has never lost it’s bloom. Beautiful. The dry down and the perceptible base notes come into play after the scent of red rose fades away into the background. It’s woodsy. A scent of forest wood and oak moss which evokes the imagery of the Fontainebleau Forest in France, near the Chateau de Fontainebleau. Because of the fruit and floral scents it is not too woodsy nor aromatic. Then I smelled vanilla and musk both scents which actually go well together as they become sort of fuzzy. It’s a warm musk and it never gets to be a masculine musk. I would not call this a unisex frag and find it more on the feminine side. Of course anyone can wear this. It’s a lush fruity chypre and very nice. Highly recommended for day time formal, spring and summer.
cox981 – :
This adorable fragrance has got fruity and flowery scent. Peach and Plum and Rose! You can wear it from Spring to Winter both day and night for any occasion. The projection and longevity of this unisex perfume are moderate.
affedePen – :
Probably my least favorite of ALL of by kilian perfumes that I’ve smelled. It just smells generic really. It smells like glade peach orchard air freshener. Like a little girls room. I’m not sure just how dangerous of a liaison you can have with something that smells like it was made by Disney. I’m not saying it’s a bad smell…maybe just not aptly named…or perhaps it’s a “Lolita” connotation…
Smell 3/10
Projection 5/10
Fortitude 6/10
Not a bad smell…just not one for grown ups
ciiuhmvltbs – :
this opens with a very dominant peachy smell along with some pleasant florals in the background
the projection is minimal and longevity was average
where this really shines for me is the dry down unlike the opening which is very sensual and feminine the dry down was where i can see it appealing more to the masculine side
the dry down had this beautiful authentic rose scent that i was only fortunate enough to catch sparingly what mainly stuck around was a musky scent that even tho it didn’t project to my standards it still was nice enough to please you and anyone who was lucky enough to be in close proximity
all and all this scent will appeal more to those who like to keep things low key and personal
this is perfect for a intimate and erotic encounter with someone you fancy
on to the next
Cewsmunse – :
This is such a refined and gentle perfume. Not a statement fragrance, but just that very classy and timeless rose-like scent that exudes warmth and romance. Feels like a vintage perfume in how impactful and straight to the point it is, without being too simple. Just an amazing scent, especially for everyday wear.
xrumerar – :
Opens with a sharp greenish, fresh, somewhat fruity rose. This changes quickly and sweetens and, on me, becomes a very synthetic, generic, & cheap smelling musky fruity-floral. Seems like there’s a large dose of laundry-type musks in this fragrance and I find it cloying and sharp. It smells similar to my Degree solid antiperspirant in a side-by-side comparison. I honestly prefer the Degree! This one was a scrubber, unfortunately. So far, my only luck with this line are Back to Black and Light My Fire.
AntonBV – :
I LOVE this perfume. The most prominent notes for me are rose and coconut. The rose isn’t a fresh sugary rose, although the perfume is sweet. The rose here is balmy and oriental, however, it is offset by a fresh green coconut that gives the fragrance a light touch. Despite that being said, I would not call this fragrance “light” or “fresh.” The rose definitely has an adequate amount of depth and complexity. It is extremely sexy, yet sophisticated. This is not a vixen Kim Kardashian type of sexy. It is more of an Audrey Tautou elegant (but could be dangerous) type of beauty.
N.Y.HardCore – :
Reminds me a lot of the original J’Adore formulation, also by Calice Becker, with a stronger plummy wood in the base, and that is a compliment coming from me, as I loved the original formulation of J’Adore way back when.
uggbootssale – :
i don’t smell that much fruitiness , liaisons dangereuses is sweet , fresh , call me crazy but some of it after 30 minutes reminds me of scentric molecules 02 , is nice very nice , light , not purchase worthy for me , but is good if you got 200 plus dollars to burn !
jjylaivticq – :
This opens with tart fruit and mild spice, bright and flirty.
Both the fruit and the spice are generic enough that they could be anything – I don’t specifically recognise either plum or peach (both of which are quite distinctive).
The opening doesn’t last very long, though, and the tart edges fade leaving a warm musky scent that is (for a Kilian fragrance) quite enduring.
Towards the end it turns just a tiny bit unclean, a scent that some might find sexy but that I personally find a touch off-putting.
Once again this is an exceptionally well crafted scent and well worth trying.
It isn’t remotely unisex, however, as it is quite sweet and feminine in both it’s top notes and it’s general evolution.
evil142 – :
I just have to stop trying Kilian. Another synthetic, generic, uninspiring fragrance. Light musky rose and fruits. Nothing special.
MelatoninForSleep – :
I am wearing sample of this today. Its pleasant. However for the price it needs to be amazing. On my skin it wears as a light spicy floral with no distinguishing notes. The mix of wood and fruit remind me of an expensive aromatic soap. It sits close on my skin and as I type this is gently fading away. I needed to be impressed and was not. This is not a buy for me but others may find it wears well for their chemistry.
Nikita102rus – :
Almost a dead ringer for the original Burberry (round bottle). Peach/cedar/musk. Odd name for such a safe perfume…nothing dangerous about it. Not worth the price tag.
tiranozavrr – :
Well I can strike this one off my “want” list for sure.
Straight up squeaky peach, rose and coconut. Smells like a fruity body lotion you could buy in the Body Shop for €10.
Definitely not unisex and not worth the asking price.
clu330JeomiWogkig – :
I wore this last weekend to my sister’s Solstice wedding in a rooftop garden. It just screams midsummer to me. A juicy fresh salad of peaches and plums enjoyed in a rose garden on a humid afternoon. Smells like a champagne I once enjoyed at Pops in Chicago. You know, one of those cocktails that cost more than I make an hour and comes with an endangered orchid floating in the glass. I had a sample, because an actual bottle of this costs nearly $400 and is able to be locked with a key so no one can steal squirts from it. Or drink it.
lelaElurilm – :
Succulent fresh peach, nectarine and black currant forms the lovely fruit salad of Liaisons Dangereuses on my skin. The first few minutes, the fruits are so green that the fragrances feels even slightly ozonic. However, it soon becomes sweeter with the addition of rose, and the fruits ripen over time but never to the extent of being overripe, they’re still crunchy but sweet enough to savour. It then stays pretty much the same, just slightly sweeter, a bit more spicy with cinnamon and more musky.
The sillage is moderate and the longevity is almost 12 hours. I actually find Liaisons Dangereuses quite innocent and playful, yet it doesn’t feel too girly or childish. And the sweetness is well balanced and not that synthetic. As a well executed fruity floral, I think it’s worth sampling.
KCrack – :
Brilliantly conceived. An overripe coquette with a perpetually plastered-on grin. Cheeky, capricious, completely obscene.
Ska1net – :
Rose is a difficult flower in perfumery. It is both common and beautiful, two facets that can be difficult to reconcile. A wild rose bush is simple and pretty, yet a formal rose garden can seem conventional and staid in a way that makes rococo architecture seem light and breezy. Consider also that the rose is the most symbolically overburdened flower in history, and you’ll realize the rose is anything but easy. And then, the inherent conundrum of the solifor: is it worthwhile to attempts to re-create the scent of the rose?
So, what to do with the Rose? Do you dress it to the nines, gilding the lily, so to speak? Did you give it the sexy librarian trick, tying up it’s hair, putting on clunky glasses, and just letting a little bit of slip show through on the stepstool? Should you play it like a fresh scrubbed youth, all heart-aching freshness and promise?
In perfumery, the Rose speaks with many voices. From the screaming queen (see Guerlain Nahema) to the seductive vampire of Rossy de Palma, to the boys’ choir of Noontide Petals. I love rose chypres for the combination of rose’s growl and the huskiness of the chypre base. It’s an inherently sexy form. Patchouli-roses combine the woody aspects of the two elements, leaving a perfect balance of crudeness and chic. Musky, ambery and vanillic roses demonstrate the opulence and exuberance of the floriental.
Liaisons Dangereuses is one of my favorite roses for its simplicity. It is gorgeous and direct, neither pristine nor unapproachable. It has that simple desirability of a perfectly honed object or piece of clothing. Not easy, but perfectly simple. A well-worn saddle, a perfectly fitted shift dress, form-fitting jeans, old work gloves. No adornment necessary. The beauty is implicit and complete.
High-priced perfume lines are generally known for their most opulent, their grandest perfumes. Look closely, though, and you’ll fine that some of the best fragrances put out by luxe, niche, high-end, exclusive… firms are the simplest. I could happily toss the whole Tom Ford grand-poobah line, but Azure Lime is perhaps the perfect eau de cologne if you can afford to spend so readily. Francis Kurkdjian’s Cologne pour le Soir is the most beautiful and simple reinvention of the cologne concept. by Kilian line has two simple, wonderful perfumes: A Taste of Heaven’s acerbic lavender and Liaisons Dangereuses. (I’m a fan of perfumer Calice Becker’s work, and her work for this line is well-edited and smart. Could we rename the line by Becker?)
In this post-bling era simple, precise luxury might be harder to come by than shallow extravagance, but Liaisons Dangereuses demonstrates that it’s worth the search.

I never thought I’d like something described as fruity, but I like this one. I pulled this out of my samples on a whim today and found the fruit refreshing and authentic. The peach and plum are ripe and juicy. It dries down in a few hours to a pleasant skin scent of wood and ambrette. Nice to wear on a Spring day.
heno – :
Mancera, Roses Greedy? Notes look increadibly similar. can anyone add?
Muku – :
Finally a fruity fragrance worthy of the name. Each ingredient is recognizable. An initial explosion of apricot and plum, a body of sensual rose, powdery and fruity notes sensationally enhanced by woody notes. Magistral, 10/10.
AH9PEY – :
It starts off as a watery and faint mix of coconut, green notes and geranium and gets sweeter when the peach, blackcurrant and wood appear. My overall impression is that it smells like expensive shampoo.
Абакан 70 – :
It’s pleasant aroma but without any “vaauu!”.You can feel ingredients’s high quality and immediately say – “expensive” flavor! Although for me it is not complex flavor. On my male skin were dominated gentle notes of peach and a little sour plum with some bitter taste. For me, this is unisex fragrance, but more clearly feminine. This perfume’s name does not match the soul of the aroma , though makes us to try Liaisons Dangereuses with anticipation – the good marketing move, but for me exactly this is my first disappointment. I will not change my favorite Cruel Intentions on this fragrance. )))) The longevity is good and sillage -average.
Appoveaxiox – :
This opening on this is absolutely delicious. Mouth watering combination of rose, peach, plum and black currant. The peach manages to come to the forefront but it is done in a way that it isn’t juvenile (as peach can sometimes be). It is fairly sweet and soft and while it is unisex it leans heavily toward feminine. I honestly can not imagine a man wearing this but if he wants to then by all means he should. While this is a nice fragrance, it doesn’t smell like a $235 perfume. For that price, it seems a bit thin and weak. Once the opening ends it turns into a fairly commonplace mossy fruity skin scent. This has the feel of something in a much lower price range and on me it wears like a cologne. It smells nice and reminds me of something that might be made by Jo Malone. For $90 I would buy it. But for $235 I would have to pass sorry.
miolasa – :
The beauty of LIAISONS DANGEROUS is that the dry down is still breathtakingly beautiful. It’s easy for a fragrance to open on a high, but to unfold, and ultimately end where Liaisons Dangerous does is remarkable.
It’s gorgeous on clothes, in your hair, kissing your skin. It’s peach blossom glory. But, it’s far from dangerous. It’s flirty and safe–all girl, not woman.
It also has a sparkling note, as if it’s part Champagne.
Far better than Jo Malone Nectarine & Honey.
Smile78 – :
Although I like to flirt with more feminine fragrances (I’m a man), I have trouble with the sort of juicy sweetness in this scent. I like the spice and the wood underneath it, but it the fruitiness turns me off. It smells a little rotten to me as well. Wearing this puts me in the mood for something similar though. A nice cinnamon sandalwood with a splash of fruit. I’m not sure what I have that’s close to it, but the point is, I’m not a great fan of this, personally. I didn’t even know I had this scent association catalogued in my brain, but there’s something here that makes me think of when a child wets him/herself.
reensiple – :
This is too feminine for my tastes! Takes a braver man than I to pull this off.
The name is so provocative and cool I was expecting something dangerous.
Oh well nevermind.

Stewed fruit compote with too much water in it is what I get here. To make things worse the fruits (mainly peaches) are starting to ferment (thanks to the coconut note). Total disappointment. I regret appying it globally today, ugh! Honestly I’m shocked that this concoction is getting so much love here, I find it awful and waaay overpriced. Maybe it’s my skin, but I doubt it – my skin loves perfumes and wears them well. I blame the peach, geranium, plum & coconut combination. I’ll brave it once again in spring to give it a chance (this is so not a fall scent) but I’m not looking forward to it :/

When I was first exposed to By Kilian, I was skeptical. But one day, I decided to stroll into Harvey Nichols and test what they had from By Kilian. I was thoroughly impressed with A Taste Of Heaven and Sweet Redemption. But my nose would be captivated by none other than Liaisons Dangereuses. The notes intrigue me, with the top half appearing feminine while the base appears typically masculine. The result is that this composition is unisex enough to make me feel comfortable with wearing it with confidence. But a guy has to be comfortable with himself to pull this one off. It has done to women who’ve smelled it on me what Coco Mademoiselle has done to me before: It seduces you to the wearer but makes you want it for yourself.

A good fruity opening (peaches), then coconut appears with roses, giving us a good feeling of a milky floral accord.
Good, dry is a little bit woody and more feminine.
Not for me.
