By Kilian's Back To Black smells like...?

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
What is it with by Kilian's Back To Black. I guess it's a sweet honey-tabacco scent? Is it similar to a designer fragrance? Would it be a good scent to sample according to my wardrobe?

Well there are degrees of similarity... you might want to check out some Bogart pour Homme. It won't kick your wallet in the teeth either.

Bogart PH is similar to a degree but has a boozy aspect to it that is missing in B to B but is much better value. I can't actually think of a designer fragrance that comes close, except the obvious T & V from Tom Ford (is Tom niche?). This isn't very helpful is it? I can confirm that B to B is basically a honeyed tobacco.

Smells like baby powder and honey.

Please sample Guerlain Tonka Imperiale, it's much better imo

For me the honey is overpowering and too sickly. It lasts and lasts too! It's a quality fragrance but that's too much of a good thing in my book.

I really really love B2B, cherry tobacco is the most dominant note in it based on exact ingredients I viewed at the store, it is really warm, a bit of a bad girl scent to me, honey is in there too, it is sexy, very yummy, sort of gourmand in a way, one of my faves but it requires a certain mood. It is a good value in my opinion if you get the travel set refill and do not care about the packaging.

Absolutely

I think you should to try. To my nose it was overpoweringly honey, though. There was tobacco and whatever else but definitely super honey.

Lots of honey but one of my favorite recent scents.

Definitely FB worthy, but...

Buy the refill bottles of by Kilian's, the juice is AMAZING, however, the price includes the excellent bottle & packaging, which to me was too much to waste. I own 5-6 from this house, all are excellent, but as I said, I did not buy the invididual bottle with casing etc...Saves u a lot if u buy the refill's and then buy a cheap atomizer for it.

Smells like a boozy pipe tobacco smell with raspberries.

I get honey and powder mainly. A few other things happening in the opening but they disappear quickly.
