Love/disappointment relationships

It all says it in the title and I'll explain,
Love: Amazing scent, suitable for all seasons, very versatile, day and night.
Disappointment: Poor performance, average longevity, SILLAGE is almost non-existent and most of the time the perfume stays close to the skin.

I have a bottle and I'm debating whether to sell it or keep it anyway...
What do you recommend for me?

Update 12.3.25: I sold the perfume after I felt that its performance did not satisfy me.

7/10.

An excellent boozy scent

This is an well crafted fragrance that i consider one of the best made by the brand.

The rum combined with the vanilla and pineapple gives this sweet,fresh boozy feeling to it. The scent really grows on you the longer you wear it.

The price for this is an little overpriced in my opinion but if you have the money for it this is definiently something you need to have in your collection if you like sweet fruity scents.

The better Angels Share!

Fruity fresh opening with a spicy peppery undertone and a blast of cardamom in the top - extremely refreshing while being dark and unique at the same time

As this is part of the liquors collection, this is also based on an alcoholic beverage: rum and it is noticable! Not overly alcoholic but more in the note of a dark wooden barell that had the boozy juice inside. Also I get a hint of smoke.
Super masculine, very dark and spicy

This scents is way less sweet than angels share. It has a woody vanilla with a very subtle sweetness - but this is not a sweet scent by any means

To me, this is the perfect bad boy scent. Boozy, peppery, a hint smokey and woody. Unapologetic and powerful
Definitely not a blind buy - get your nose on it before buying.

Performance is great - the freshness fades after the opening and then the boozy dark vibe stays for quite a long time

Cardamom flavored rum in a bottle

It's 20°C out here, the wind is picking up a bit. The sky is clear, sun is out, but there's no doubt fall is peaking around the corner. I'm starting to leave behind my warm weather fragrances for the colder one and I felt like trying a sampler in my collection which is how and why I stumbled upon this one that I had forgotten about.

I'm starting to think the Kilian brand is not for me. It's ironic to see that I, who's a Straight Edge (I do not drink, smoke, take drugs) person, have a skin chemistry that absolutely loves alcoholic beverage notes. When I first sprayed it on, I got maybe a second of fresh, fruity notes, but then everything changed. The rum came barreling through the door, overwhelming everything else, like someone who refuses to surrender the spotlight. Since I don't drink, I must say I was quite indifferent to it. Then, after about 15 minutes, there's the cardamom that came out, looking for a fight. Both notes vyed for attention on my skin, although I have to admit the perfume is well-blended. At that moment, I could detect a sort of spicy warmth that's a great fit for autumn. I don't know if its because of the strength of the cardamom, but I could almost compare the overall scent to a fall candle (albeit not a cheap one). After about an hour there's a woody base that starts to shine through with a subtle synthetic sheen to it. It fades admirably well into something that's still warm, but also soft and comforting.

All in all it's probably a good perfume for those who love the Kilian DNA, but since I don't drink, this perfume is overall a miss for me. A great fit for fall nonetheless!

A crowd pleaser

Another one from the Liquors by Kilian that is going to make it into all top-whatever-lists on youtube afer last year's Angels' Share. The perfume is super likable. The fruity part is not too sweet, the woody not too tart. Together they are delicious, right in the middle of the balance between too straightforward catering to the tastes of the masses and the Kilian-esque elegance. Not super original, but super cozy and pleasant and probably going to be a success commercially.
