I Tested Kilian's Most-Wanted Perfumes for a Week—I'd Buy These 10 Full-Size

Key notes: cardamom, mocha coffee, vanilla

This warm and delicious scent lingers on the skin in such a pleasant way. It has a rich, mysterious aroma to it that is guaranteed to turn heads. The coffee note is subtle but adds a vibrancy to the fragrance that's totally unique and, dare I say, intoxicating.

Customer review: "It smells sooo good! It is the perfect unisex fragrance. It's very rich. In my opinion, not too loud either. At first smell, I wasn't sold, but I gave it a chance and let it dry down and now I am in love!"

Key notes: coffee, red apple, lemon essence, lavender essence, spearmint essence, orange flower absolute, milk mousse accord, Sri Lankan sandalwood essence, Virginia cedarwood essence

Key notes: almond milk, iris, musk

I absolutely adore this floral fragrance and can confidently say it's my all-time favorite Kilian scent. It packs a bit of heat, giving it an exclusive edge over other floral perfumes. I found myself reaching for it consistently throughout the week and beyond, to be quite honest. It suits any occasion and has earned a place in my signature-scent rotation (a much smaller and more exclusive list, thank you). 

Customer review: "Love at first spritz. This scent is so mesmerizing I couldn't stop smelling it. I love unique fragrances. This one is stunning. It's very sexy, and I love the dry-down of the creaminess that it transforms into. Must have!"

Key notes: bergamot, iris, pink pepper, caramel, musk

Key notes: orange blossom, osmanthus, tuberose

I can see why this one is a fan favorite. It has this crisp and unexplainable exuberance to it. I definitely enjoyed it, but it wasn't my favorite of the bunch.

Customer review: "This is Good Girl Gone Good Goes to the Office…but I like it. This is a delicate white floral with a hint of juicy freshness that keeps it from being flat. This is a pretty girl fragrance and quite inoffensive. Terribly unique."

Key notes: orangeflower water absolute Tunisia, neroli blanc, jasmine absolute sambac LMR, tuberose accord, cedarwood, vetiver oil LMR, opulent musks, amber

Key notes: orange blossom, vanilla absolute, luscious marshmallow

I'll admit I was extremely eager to try the infamous Love, Don't Be Shy—aka Rihanna's signature fragrance before she created Fenty Eau de Parfum ($140). Upon opening the bottle and giving it a sniff, I honestly wasn't sure how I would feel about it. I'm not usually one for candy-like scents, but this one absolutely blew me away once I doused my wrists with it. It blends the toasty smell of marshmallow with floral elements like orange blossom so perfectly that it creates just the right amount of sweetness. I definitely see what all the hype is about and will be sporting it as often as I can, to be frank. It's just a hair under Rolling in Love for me if I had to rank the two.

Customer review: "The packaging is beautiful, and it's a gorgeous scent. I'm usually not a huge fan of floral scents, but it's just dynamic enough that it works for me!"

Key notes: neroli, raspberry, green mandarin. jasmine, orange blossom, marshmallow accord, vanilla, heliotrope, sandalwood

Key notes: cucumber, juniper berries, rose

With notes of cucumber and juniper berry, this Kilian offering smells incredibly refreshing to the senses and imparts images of a lush castle garden (IMO). It's anything but your ordinary rose perfume. 

Customer review: "Absolutely adore Roses on Ice! Unlike anything else in my collection. Lasts eight-plus hours on my skin and even longer on my clothes. I get asked frequently 'What scent is that? It's beautiful!' I’m ordering Apple Brandy next."

Key notes: orange blossom, angelica root, patchouli, juniper berry

Key notes: ginger, green tea, marshmallow

Princess is another sweet sniff that's great for anyone who loves the smell of fluffy marshmallow. Adding green tea to the mix gives it such an interesting and delicious edge too.

Customer review: "This perfume is great. Smells like warm vanilla with a hint of rum. Very intoxicating smell. Despite reviews stating this smell does not last, I do believe that it does. I put this on before going to the gym and ran errands right after. Several hours later, I was told that my perfume smelt good. The best way I can describe it is vanilla extract with cinnamon and honey."

Key notes: Italian bergamot, green pepper, green tea accord, cardamom, beeswax, tonka bean

Key notes: bergamot, rose, tonka bean

This fragrance has a lot of contrast to it in the best way possible. It champions rose at the heart of the scent but also contains electrifying notes of vanilla and tonka bean.

Customer review: "Love the smell, light and fresh, not too strong."

Key notes: tuberose, jasmine, tonka bean

Key notes: grapefruit, mango, roasted tonka beans

Moonlight in Heaven exudes the aroma of a tropical vacation in a bottle. Notes of mango, jasmine, and coconut milk burst forward with vigor and blend effortlessly with the delicate scent of vetiver. It truly feels and smells like an exotic, unexplored paradise.

Customer review: "I'm obsessed! I love this scent. I use it even on days when I am just staying home."

Key notes: bergamot, lemon, mandarin, bell pepper, lime, grapefruit, cardamom, muguet, ginger, black pepper, spearmint, cedar, amber woods, musk, sandalwood

Key notes: bergamot, honey, patchouli

Gold Knight feels enigmatic yet sweetly delicious. The notes of patchouli and honey just work so well with the slightly spicy air of bergamot.

Customer review: "It's amazing I love the essence of the perfume. I bought this bottle as a gift for my mom. It's strong I totally love it, the smell it's so delicious. When I wear it I get a lot of compliments and it lasts all day."

Key notes: black orchid, black truffle, patchouli

Key notes: white peach, iris butter, tonka bean

The name alone was enough for me to fall in love with this timeless perfume. I personally can never get enough of the smell of white peach, so putting it in a fragrance is the perfect way to capture my attention. Flower of Immortality is both fruity and floral but never overpowering. It's delicate and soft enough to simply be heavily inviting.

Customer review: "Love it!"

Key notes: tangerine essence, rose absolute, black currant absolute
