Old Fashioned, from By Kilian, reads like last orders at a quiet bar, warm and a little smoky rather than sweet. Wheat and davana open it soft, and immortelle brings a honeyed, almost boozy glow through the heart alongside cedar. Tolu balsam and styrax settle it into a dry, balsamic base with a nutty, herbal edge that stops it going syrupy. Released in 2024, it is worn by men and women alike, and suits anyone drawn to a composed, evening-first scent rather than an obvious sweet one. Voters reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly at night and in the evening, and it works for a formal night at the office too. The vote on longevity leans long-lasting, while sillage lands clearly on moderate. A 3ml decant is enough for a week of evenings before deciding on more.

The community verdict
Warm and herbal, Old Fashioned opens with wheat and davana, then moves through immortelle and cedar to tolu balsam and styrax. Wear time is split between moderate and long-lasting, while most find its projection moderate. Autumn nights suit it best, though winter and evening wear work too.

More from By Kilian
By Kilian started in France in 2007 with a clear taste for boozy, sweet, after-dark perfume. Rum, caramel and vanilla run through much of the range, warmed by cinnamon and cardamom and set on patchouli, cedar or sandalwood. Angels' Share is the natural first try, warm spice and sweet woods with a glow like an old liqueur. Love Don't Be Shy is softer, sugary white flowers over vanilla. Back to Black brings honey and tobacco, and Black Phantom leans into caramel and spice. For a lighter mood, Moonlight in Heaven pairs citrus with tropical fruit.
