Rolling in Love

Here is the paraphrased comment: This scent is truly exquisite. I recently acquired a sample with my order from Kilian and, honestly, their fragrance house never fails to impress my senses. I'm surprised I waited so long to try them out. The combination of creamy musk, almond, tuberose notes works beautifully together in this perfume. The name and packaging are also fitting. While I think it would be lovely if a woman smelled like this, I believe a man with a gentle demeanor could pull it off as well, although it leans more feminine. As a male, I'm tempted to get it eventually, but I'd like to explore their masculine scents first. This perfume would make an excellent gift for someone special or any respectable woman in your life, in my opinion. However, be aware that the longevity of this fragrance is not impressive; it's the only drawback.

The opening notes are surprisingly gentle, with a subtle sweetness and an almond-like quality. As it settles, the scent evolves into a rich, creamy floral musk. Unfortunately, its staying power and sillage are underwhelming for a fragrance at this price point. Interestingly, it shares some similarities with Scarlet Poppy Intense during its initial stages, but takes distinct paths afterwards. In my opinion, Scarlet Poppy is the more impressive of the two, boasting superior longevity. 😊

The scent is decent, reminiscent of Jergens Cherry Almond after the lotion has dried on skin. Upon settling in, it doesn't quite evoke almonds anymore, but instead captures the essence of cherry hand soap and drying hands immediately afterwards. The fragrance lingers vaguely, yet remains somewhat indistinguishable. While I do appreciate it, I'm not convinced it justifies the $300 price tag. In fact, purchasing Jergens Cherry Almond lotion and perfume would yield a similarly comparable experience. My overall assessment is that it's acceptable but not exceptional - 4/10.

I'm starting to understand that I don't quite resonate with more feminine scents; my body chemistry seems to react differently to them. On this rainy day, I decided to try out the Killian sample I received from a scent split and was drawn to its fall/winter vibe. To me, many feminine-leaning scents smell like a Bath & Body Works product. The iris stands out as the most prominent note, followed by almond milk and vanilla. Fortunately, the musk isn't overpowering (which is a relief, as I'm not a fan of strong musky notes). This sweet white floral scent would make an excellent signature for anyone who prefers pink. However, its sweetness might be off-putting to me; it also has a somewhat cheap quality to it, given the price point. Update: Despite initial reservations, I ended up buying a bottle. Upon reapplication, I discovered that this perfume lingers nicely in my hair and leaves a pleasant, creamy impression. It's almost comforting and sexy at the same time – qualities that evoke an elegant, innocent side while also hinting at a bit of playfulness. This scent reminds me of marshmallows for some reason, making it perfect for date nights or intimate occasions.

To me, this perfume has a striking similarity in its scent profile to Kilian's I Don't Need A Prince To Be A Princess.
