Forgettable
Performance is basically zero. Scent is ok, nothing to rave for. To be fair, it's a good skin scent but pricepoint, hard to justify. Kilian is my fave house but I won't recommend this to anyone. If you're not a hardcore fan, this is a hard pass. Get something else. A lot of options if you need a citrus and fresh scent in your wardrobe.

Green Eau de Cologne
Kilian Kologne (Mortal Kombat anyone?) is essentially a slightly green/spicy neroli fragrance with musky/woody backbone. The term "Cologne" is actually used correctly here, as this is a take on the original Eau de Cologne, Echt Kölnisch Wasser Eau de Cologne, just a little less sweet. It reminds me a bit also of Nio with its greenness. The addition of cardamom to Nio though puts it in a different league compositionally. I'd say Kologne is a good alternative if Nio was a bit too spicy for you.

Clean Boy
Subjective:
A Classic “men’s” profile executed at a high quality. The citrus is well-balanced and elegant, with enough depth to keep you engaged. The fragrance dries to a clean, soapy base on my skin. Is this the ultimate no-fuss “clean boy” scent?

There is nothing wrong with a basic crowd-pleasing profile executed at a high level. It’s not an incredibly complex scent that evolves over time, but its likability, combined with its quality, makes it special.

Opening:
Elegant classic opening. The balance between the citrus and herbal notes is masterful, soapy in a good way, like a classic pine bergamot hand soap.

Development:
After a couple of hours, the citrus and herbal notes fade, and a soft, creamy, clean scent lingers on the skin. A bit piney and still fresh, but nicely rounded and almost translucent. A nice, softer alternative to those who don't enjoy amber or woody drydowns.

Performance:
It performs more like an eau de toilette than an eau de parfum. But to me, that’s ok, it fits with the target audience and use case for this kind of fragrance. I’m not sure I would want to smell like classic men’s pine soap for 8+ hours.

Sheer cold freshness
So far best citrus piney scent, but to me this is eather game changing, eather a particular personal hit? Because I don't like the pine note in most fragrances, own a few as well, not my jam. So I guess the way byKilian handles this part of the spectrum? The fresh, the citrus, the blue? Yes supremely classy.nnVery much fresh, also get a similarity to Moonlight in Heaven after the opening. Three to four hours performer, will definitely try out a few overspray sessions to see how it goes since, I've heard it's not natural oils, do not get the synthetic feel on this, at all.nnDon't trust, sample it for yourself, no, it's doesn't smell like a cheap shower gel, the opening isn't bug spray, doesn't smell like laundry detergent.nnGet a joyful standing at the heaven gates type opening, after less than half hour settles into sheer elegant freshness. It's a full treat for those few hours, like it gets you and gets you. Maybe citruses work well with my pH, at the moment, idk, but it's a party right now.nnSee what the 2°C, 35°F wet drizzle does to that distinctive major cool upper tier green citrus. Stays solid, brings just a bit of woods out and slowly starts to seize it all with sheer byKilian aromatics. I would say it's not a freshie due to the fact that it misses that slight extra sweet, fresh out the shower, clean, soapy, it's pretty much out of the mainstream. Medium strong and a relaxed safe oversprayer. Initial reaction quite few years ago and quite for a while was that it's too acute, too bitter green forest, can't really fathom, sampling. After finally got the bottle, few wears in suddenly got the straight up hit with the novel, the up to date of all times, the seriously fresh elegant.

Perfect for the warmer
The opening is fresh and uplifting with some gentle sweetness coming from the mandarin.

The main notes are mandarin and rosemary. There's some woodiness in the background, but overall, I find this scent to be transparent and light.

It's not a particularly complex fragrance, but it's easy to wear and perfect for the warmer months.

While it leans slightly mature, I think anyone could pull this off. Shahbaz_2009 already summed up the scent really well, so read their review below mine for more in-depth analysis.

Sharp and green like sipping lemon juice off an aloe vera leaf. Dries down quickly into a classy but very subdued citrusy skin scent.

Fresh-citrus aromatic, opposed by moderate white & floral green touches (overlap with Imperial Tea). Very light & somewhat generic imo.

This is so similar to almighty Legendary Fleur DU Male in the dry down. Outstanding craft, nice, smooth, clean, green and a little dirty.

Modern take on the classic EDC DNA, and I truly mean that. It’s fresh and vibrant, with a neroli and floral base that feels very new.

If 4711 & On The Beach had a child: citrus-neroli cologne with bitter herbs & a sultry synthetic wood base.
Thus overpriced.

Doesn't reach me. Citrus opening, followed by a bitter-green neroli note, on a strangely bland base.

I'm not a big fan of neroli, but I like this one with mandarin-orange, mint, and cedar
- it won't be a Marvel scent, no longevity ;)
