At first, a wonderfully woody-aromatic scent that initially reminds one of Fig-Tree-Wood by Durance en Provence. But after a shift in associations, the true character of the fragrance reveals itself. Instead of feeling reminiscent of a fig, one finds themselves in a dust-filled, musty stone cellar. It smells like an old, moldy catacomb. After this associative insight, the fragrance feels far less pleasant and special. Furthermore, the scent lacks a bit of stability, as it tends to retreat quite close to the skin after 3-4 hours. Nevertheless, the fragrance is quite pleasant to wear and is rather masculine. As always with by Killian, this fragrance composition is also characterized by the naturalness and purity of its scent components/ingredients, giving it the necessary touch of elegance. However, for the high price of 180 EUR for 50 ml, one might expect more scent intensity and longevity. Objectively speaking, I must admit that StH is truly a dry fragrance that certainly does not become intrusive and rather aims to be a fine background presence. Unfortunately, my enjoyment of the scent is hindered by memories of old cellars.
