Cardamom coffee!
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!

Very good, but linear
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.

Coffee+cardamom
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.

Truly Intoxicating!
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.

Cardamom and some more cardamom
You really, REALLY have to love cardamom to love this fragrance. Sometimes I cook with cardamom, sometimes I brew with cardamom and what I've learned with that is that you have to be really careful with this powerful spice or it will ruin whatever you were working on. I've got the impression that the perfumer of Intoxicated didn't get the memo and threw in all cardamom they had. Which is a lot.

Anyway. It may not look like it but I'm no cardamom hater. It's just way too strong for me and I really loathe it in this fragrance. Looking at the notes there should be a hint of coffee and some sweetness but I don't get that at all. Maybe my nose is just oversensitive for this spice but it gets a nope from me.

Intoxicated is a gourmand scent with the Mugler's A*Men DNA. It's linear but so delicious. A not too sweet coffee with cardamom and caramel.

Spicy, clean and masculine leaning. Smells like expensive soap. Decent performance. Non-offensive sillage and refined scent.

I don't smell coffee here at all. Mostly I get cardamom and nutmeg. A little masculine, but I still love to wear it myself. Refreshing

A slightly sweet and powdery spicy-earthy Gourmand for the Fall season. Nice cardamom-coffee combo, yet rather linear. 100% Unisex!

The best Killian I have smelled. Dry-down is way better than opening.

Creamy-sweet mocha fragrance with vanilla & cardamom. Easy-going and very smooth in execution, but lacking in wow factor & performance.

The pyramid doesn't do it justice. Very elegant and refined, with creamy facets similar to a luxurious body cream
