KILIAN PARIS Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi Eau de Parfum

Rose on rose on rose with a slight hint of pencil shavings from the sandalwood. I can't smell anything but the rose. Faded pretty quickly.

I don't think this is a bad scent by any means but my nose is not a fan. Perfumes don’t have an age but I don't think I would ever reach for this until I hit my 30s. Think this would wear beautifully on a more mature woman. Perhaps my tastes are a bit too juvenile for heavy white florals? I tested this because of the other notes but all I smell are tuberose and ylang-ylang.

I'm in absolute love with this fragrance. It's one that will always be in my collection. I just bought a back up bottle just in case this one ever gets discontinued. A beautifully sweet white floral with sandalwood. I cant stop sniffing myself when I wear this one. 10/10

It develops beautifully on skin compared to first spray on paper. Historically, I gravitate toward fragrances that are stereotypically "old lady vibes". Powdery, white florals, aldehydic, I'm 30, so I'm grown but not old and am wary of presenting so..

It's so interesting to see how people receive fragrances based on their own memories and how strongly their reactions are colored by it...
I grew up in the late 90s and 2000s,er female figure so I noticed my taste is influenced by the olds in my life.. There was a specific brand of femininity that was marketed back then and this Kilian fragrance taps into that. This feels like a sweeter, softer, dreamier, sexier version of the polarizing Chanel no 5. This fragrance is beautifully blended and balanced. I usually go for something a little more complex and layered but this is a safe buy for any occasion. Date, office, cozy night in....

Fabulous take on the nineties glam floral. Kilian fragrances are just so wearable. To me this smells like a cross between Chanel Allure and Guerlain L'Instant (with the tiniest bit of Samsara in it), all made translucent, and given some Kilian fairy dust in the form of sparkling vanilla. After it settles, it has the most magical, mysterious, womanly scent trail.

The name is completely wrong of course, as is the case with many of Kilian's scent names. This is a feminine scent worn by a woman for herself. It's not something your stereotypical cookie-loving guy would go gaga over; and neither does it have any innate animalic-ness or primal thing happening that could possibly point to a tussle between the covers. I don't necessarily think fragrances are gendered, but you can imagine a classy woman wearing this to the opera, which is about as far from the name as it gets. This could be called Woman in Platinum. I can see that it could also suit a retro fashion lover, and would also make a great fragrance for one's mother (making the name even more awks). Imagine giving this to a mother in her fifties or sixties - the gorgeous presentation bottle, and the name 'Woman in Platinum'. What a lost opportunity for a market.

In some ways, Kilian does the same thing I think Ormonde Jayne does, but in a different way: which is take a fragrance archetype and make it more refined, more wearable (in OJ's case, with osmanthus and tea notes; in Kilian's case, with sugar and gourmand notes). I'm on board with that. I want my fragrances to be wearable.

Another win from Kilian.
