Intoxicated Kilian 2014

Intoxicated is my all time favorite scent from Kilian and im really shocked that i havent bought a full bottle! Intoxicated is a smooth almost soapy coffee scent iin the opening. In the drydown the cardamom and vanilla smoothens the scent out and takes it too a whole better level! longevity is really good for being kilian as i get 8-10 hours with it on my skin but it does get a little light after the 4th hour. Beautiful scent that everyone should try!

I get here the cardamon giving shape to Mocha, in the same vibe the ginger giving shape to Tobacco in Tobacco Vanille. They are not comparable scents, of course. It's instead how these darker (Mocha and Tobacco) notes play with fresher (Cardamon and Ginger).

The first spray is mesmerizing. So delicious. Smells sophisticated, bright, fresh sweet. I don't get a lot of cinnamon here, which may indicate a good blending with something else (the Caramel?).

I have a selection of fragrances I put on my Hall of Fame, and this one almost made its way to it if it wasn't for the linearity. After 4 hours, almost 5, the scent is more or less the same. The same cardamon, the same Mocha, only slightly subdued and with a tiny hint of powdery.

The linearity of the fragrance makes it a bit tiring and monotonous. Not necessarily a problem, but it steals a lot of its good grades.

Occasion: I would mostly pick it for a night out, evening, and gatherings leaning towards special occasions. Not your next office, day-to-day fragrance. But an excellent addition to the collection.

By Kilians intoxicating curation is a scent of curiosity as well as nobility. TodayI give you guys my impression of what a 10/10 coffee fragrance has to offer with Kilian's "cellar" collection Intoxicated. Purely Sublime!!! This is a scent that needs to be savored and shared. Far from clinging in the kitchen or the obscure background conversations, this your cup! Meditate and reset.

The opening is a freshly brewed and aromatic coffee. This note is perfectly complemented by cardamom, which adds a spicy touch. The fragrance remains fairly linear throughout, with a longevity of about 8+ hours and a very strong sillage during the first 2 hours.

Unfortunately, the newer batches no longer have the same longevity as the 2019 one I own. Nevertheless, I recommend this fragrance to those who enjoy coffee notes in perfumery.

Spicy cardamom coffee that I just can´t stop sniffing. There´s a lot of aldehydic soapiness that I didn´t like at first but I´ve grown to love it. The dry down is where it really settles into the soapy cardamom. I´ve never smelled anything like this for sure. Worth a try if you like coffee and aren´t afraid of aldehydes.

Not a safe blind buy.
