Do It For Love by By Kilian

[mikeperez23]

I read about this on Now Smell This:

French niche line By Kilian has launched Do It For Love, a new fragrance. Do It For Love was developed for the Noir shop that opened yesterday at Bergdorf Goodman (Vogue described Noir as "a virtual ode to black in shoppable form".)

KILIAN and Linda Fargo, Women's Fashion Director at Bergdorf Goodman, introduce DO IT FOR LOVE, a new fragrance sealed with a kiss. DO IT FOR LOVE translates Linda Fargo's exuberant style and contagious charisma into an unusual blend: a vetiver au feminine, in which vetiver's bold energy is rounded off with a sensual, floral kiss.

Rich in the highest concentration of vetiver ever achieved in the perfume industry, DO IT FOR LOVE's long-lasting accord blends vetiver, Linda's favorite base ingredient, neroli and jasmine to perfection. The fragrance opens with a fresh citrus declaration of bergamot and petitgrain, an essential oil from the bitter orange tree. Floral facets soften its heart, with neroli and orange blossom providing the perfect mood-lift like the bright Mediterranean sun. It is an irresistible crossing of strong and soft, masculine and feminine, bold and beautiful juxtapositions that are essential to timeless style.

By Kilian Do It For Love is available at Bergdorf Goodman, $325 for 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

Highest concentration of vetiver, eh? Hmmm...and that bottle...ugh.



Anyone in NYC smell this at Bergdorf?

That's definitely not true especially if you compare vintage bottles of some vintage vetiver based scents.

The bottle looks rather tacky.

Completely off topic, but I can't take the name seriously because it reminds me of the last slide of this...

I should take a trip to BG and sample this one.

Kilian tastes are becoming... I hope he won’t tattoo a kiss on his neck to promote this perfume.

Not a fan of Kilian’s more recent naming convention. IMO it hit rock bottom with Voulez vous coucher avec moi.... A case of Kilian trying to pull a Tom Ford, with hilarious results.

I’m curious about the lipstick finish on this one though. Angelo Pregoni could have used this bottle design for ODriu’s Basenotes Kiss My Ass. A missed opportunity, surely.

My body literally recoiled when the image loaded and I saw the red lips. lol that was a poor idea.

Ha!

Highest concentration of vetiver eh? Even top-quality aged vetiver isn't all that expensive.

LOL. If the drawings were so suggestive like Etat Libre D'Orange ones, this Angelo Pregoni's bottle or box would be "hystoric".
When I read this Kilian name I thought about Tom Ford immediately. The battle is getting harder.

The name makes me think of meat loaf.

Any chance one of our local NYC Basenote friends will be heading to Barney's this weekend to sample this?

I am wondering if it smells particularly masculine or not
