Bad Boys Are No Good But Good Boys Are No Fun by By Kilian

Bad boys are no good, but good boys are no fun – By Kilian. This evokes that for me: you’ve just poured yourself a glass of Coca-Cola, take a sip, and the bubbles hit your nose. THAT IS THE EXACT OPENING! Kilian has nailed it. It’s not difficult to wear, as not everyone wants to smell like a fizzy drink, so don’t be alarmed. I find it fresh; the lemon brightens the sweetness, as if there were ice in the glass. Over time, the dry-down becomes more woody and the cinnamon stands out, without losing the cola scent (I love it from start to finish). The end is like finishing the glass and having the dried residue on the crystal (here the glass is made of wood 😅). The good thing is the notes balance well: the cinnamon and woods are noticeable, more masculine in my opinion, though not bad on a woman either. I imagine a semi-formal man, neither elegant nor sporty. It’s for daytime wear, but better in autumn, winter, or cool evenings. I’m one of those people for whom perfumes last a sigh, so I won’t comment on longevity, but I recommend it. Even if you don’t want to smell like this, it’s a great olfactory experience. The trail is moderate to low, depending on personal taste. I’m not a drinker, I never drink, but I’ve enjoyed the aroma. For me, it’s a 10. ☺️

What a surprise this Kilian creation is! You read that it smells of cola and expect a rather childish scent, but when you try it, as I did, you realise it’s something quite different. It’s undoubtedly a cola aroma, yet not the typical flash style – that is, not overly sweet and powdery. This Kilian blend possesses infinite quality, mixed with lime and, above all, green apple in the base, creating in a way a cheeky fragrance with far more personality than it might first appear. Those who have smelled it on me have agreed they identified the main cola note without realising it was cola. In short, I recommend it, even if only as an olfactory experience, and give it a high rating. I’m very pleased to have bought it to debut in spring and continue wearing it through summer. Totally unisex.

You’ve outdone yourself, Kilian! In my childhood, there were lollipops shaped like Coca-Cola bottles, a red tip, a white glitter stripe, and a brown body for the flavour. This fragrance smells like that to me: a spicy cola drink with lime, with something fizzy that I can’t quite decipher. I don’t mind smelling like a soft drink because I love it, but if you’re like Alonso Martínez and you don’t like it, I wouldn’t recommend it, because the scent is very well crafted. The trail is moderate leaning towards high; people have stopped me on the street asking what perfume I was wearing after more than six hours. On skin, it lasts about 12 hours and then sits close to the skin. On clothes, the scent lasts until you wash the garment. For me, it’s totally recommended, provided you are a lover of the cola scent.
