At the outset, the fragrance surprises with a truly intense yet very harmonious and pleasantly captivating rose note. This fine opening accord remains, blended with a very light but subtle smoky note, for about 4 hours. This Killian is like rose water enveloped in the finest smoke. Thus, it appears both invigorating and elegant, as well as enchanting. Due to the pronounced rose character, I can better imagine the scent on a woman. Only the very subtle smokiness adds a touch of masculinity to the fragrance profile. After the gentle decline of the rose veil, a discreet oud note slowly emerges. The oud is indeed understated, but no other note really comes to the forefront alongside it. Overall, it is quite good, but unfortunately, due to the oud, it is not quite a "hit" for me. Nevertheless, it is a truly wonderful Killian.
