About This Perfume
Bad Boys Are No Good But Good Boys Are No Fun by By Kilian is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Bad Boys Are No Good But Good Boys Are No Fun was launched in 2018. Top notes are Coca-Cola and Lime; middle notes are Cinnamon, Apple and Nutmeg; base notes are Cedar and Amberwood. Kilian launches My Kind Of Love in 2018, five new fragrances inspired by seduction games, bold declarations of love and a way to love freely. The lower-priced line comes out at Sephora in August 2018 named My Kind of Love. The concept is to choose a flavor of love which corresponds with the different scents: fun, sparkling, hot and sweet. "I wanted to invite you to take a walk on the wild side with a scent made for misbehaving. Boys is a very sexy and very fresh scent thanks to the instantly recognizable cola accord made of nutmeg, cinnamon, and lime."— Kilian Hennessy. Available as a 30, 50 and 100ml EDP.

Scendira lists 125 Kilian fragrances with 43 in stock, priced $9 to $460. The lean is gourmand-unisex, Angels' Share and its "On The Rocks" variant are the modern anchors. Community's top five in stock: Angel's Share On The Rocks (citrus-cinnamon cognac amber, 2025), Musk Oud (oud incense rose, 2013), Angels' Share (cognac cinnamon vanilla, 2020), Princess (marshmallow-tea, 2022) and Smoking Hot (tobacco-vanilla, 2023).
