About This Perfume
Think silky floral leather, spicy resin oud: that is By Kilian Pearl Oud. It opens with iris, black pepper and saffron, moves into Turkish rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang and settles on Indian oud, castoreum and patchouli. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2015.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something leather forward and signature for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike leathery fragrances.
Around $224.
