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.
