Intoxicated

Intoxicated by By Kilian is a warm, spicy gourmand fragrance centered around cardamom, sweet coffee, and soft spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. It opens with a powerful, green cardamom burst that feels both fresh and intense, grounding the scent in a spicy, almost herbal tone. Over time, it mellows into a creamy, caramel-like sweetness that balances the boldness of the cardamom and earthy coffee note. The drydown reveals a plush, slightly soapy vanilla and cocoa thread that adds depth without becoming cloying, giving it a unique, warm texture that lingers throughout the day. While some note a faint chemical or soap-like quality, most find the overall effect to be smooth and luxurious—especially on colder days or in the evening. The fragrance performs well, lasting up to 10 hours with moderate to strong projection that doesn’t fade quickly. It's unisex in approach but leans masculine due to its spice-heavy core, making it ideal for winter and fall wear. Many users praise its addictive quality and elegant, layered complexity, though some find it too linear and heavy on cardamom for their personal taste.
