Woman in Gold by Kilian opens bright, with bergamot, aldehydes and mandarin giving it a sparkling, soapy-clean start. Freesia and rose move in through the heart, softened by vanilla and a touch of marshmallow that keeps things sweet rather than sharp. Geranium adds a green edge before the base settles into vanilla, akigalawood, tonka bean, patchouli and musk, warm and a little woody. Women who need one scent for both desk and dinner tend to choose it. Voters keep it mostly for autumn evenings, and it wears comfortably through a day at work too. Wearers' votes lean long-lasting on how long it stays, and lean moderate on how far it spreads, close rather than loud. A 3ml decant gives you enough evenings to know if this one belongs in your rotation.

The community verdict
Soft and polished, Woman in Gold starts with bergamot and aldehydes before rose and vanilla come through. Longevity divides between long-lasting and moderate; moderate projection leads, with strong next. It suits autumn evenings, with winter working too, if you like a sweet, feminine style.

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.
