What wearers say
“The opening of this smells like vomit but the drydown is pleasant. A light fruity mango when the coconut and rice fades but I’m not sure if a lot of Kilians are worth the price. Nirmala by Molinard will always be my go-to mango scent.It’s much more full-bodied and luscious. If you want a perfume with similar notes to this but with no unpleasant accords, I recommend Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb Tiger Lily which has mango and coconut.”
“The opening is so lovely. And it kinda ends there. Although the dry down is pleasant enough, it’s a little powdery and all the excitement of the opening is long gone. The worst part is the ridiculous zero longevity. 20mins it’s a skin scent. For the price ?….even I can’t justify buying this. So disappointing.Glad I tested first.”
“Lovely but less wow than i expected. I bought last year a Zara scent which was supposed to be very similar and wanted now to upgrade to the real thing. It is unfortunately not better. For the price, I’d say something I usually don’t: go for the cheaper one.I might change my mind when i get a change to test this in the summer heat.”
