Anegl's Share is a beast on me, such a beautiful sweet boozy fragrance with that oak. ordered Apple Brandy On the rocks, cant wait, great reviews as usual :)
I just got Apple Brandy on the rocks, smells so good on me! I’m obsessed lol and is curious to see how others like it. Reminds me of holidays. 🥰 Perfect time to wear Apple Brandy on the rocks. It’s now 7:25pm and I sprayed two pumps at 9am and I can still smell it!
I like l'heure verte because of the absinthe note - which is a favorite of mine - but not for two C-notes. If I can't get 8 hours from a fragrance, forget it.
Thanks for the very honest and erudite video! I have Gold Knight (and 15 other Kilians including Appe Brandy)and was interested in how it stacked up to L'Heure Vert. Congratulations on being the first TH-camr to make the connection to Gold Knight (just a few have done so with Taste of Heaven). I love Gold Knight and agree it is quite thick. It almost reminds me of PDM Carlisle in its thick, sweet patchouli dry down. I also think Straight to Heaven Oud and Musk, Royal Leather, and Dark Lord are absolute monster masterpieces with great thickness and projection and longevity, but others from this brand are a bit more ethereal - but still great. Interesting also is that I always found that OG Apple Brandy dries down to a woody liquorice smell. But I didn't like the apple cider opening, which makes you seem like a drunk here in the UK. But thanks - after watching about 10 TH-cam videos already on these fragrances and still not knowing where they fit relative to the whole line, now I know.
I just received my Apple Brandy OTR and my cap is loose as well, for the scent it is so beautiful and well blended. It’s really good but very masculine, not for me but for my husband for sure. It’s a handsome fragrance!
I agree with you Sebastian. I do enjoy the smell of By Kilian fragrances. However, I wish they were stronger and lasted a little longer. My personal favorite from this house is Moonlight in Heaven.
So interesting to see how less "nischy" Bykilian has become after being bought by Estée-Lauder. Plastic bottles, low quality sprayers, more synthetic smells and reformulations and less performance. Somewhat tragic.
Skipping on these 😄. l am waiting for the new Oriana by Perfumes de Marly. It is only available online now. If you know how ut smells, please share! Thank you 🤗
My favorite from the house is Dark Lord. I love dark leather fragrances and this one has enormous silage and longevity. Even more than gucci guilty absolute.
Gloppier and Oompfy going into the vocab! You're a treasure trove of new terms Sebastian! 😄 I definitely need to test out Gold Knight again. Always preferred B2B, but I haven't revisited Gold Knight in a while. Might be time.
I have; and enjoy; the first two (Angel's share and Roses on Ice) from this collection and will get these two as well, I'm sure. Unlike many of the folks that tend towards the negative comments on these, I'm not looking for the Ultimate Signature Fragrance here. I have hundreds of fragrances, Some are monster beastmode bombs, while others are just simply nice compositions to enjoy for a time. Knowing what to expect from Kilian, these will surely fulfill the latter and I'm okay with that.
I agree. Almost every kilian fragrance is hidden behind a veil. I just wish they would stop putting out wimpy weak performers and give us our money's worth. All my favorite kilians are duds on me and many others. Sacred wood, STH, intoxicated, black phantom(claimed to be beast mode....but it's def not)
I find Back to Black to be weak in performance. I don't think it's beast mode like people say at all. But Black Phantom, just one spray of that and there's a bubble of chocolate around me, that stuff is strong.
Another example is Straight to Heaven. A wonderful scent but way to weak. So happy when they released STH Extreme.... but why the h*ll did they discontinued that one? To continue with wimpty performance?
I like L'Heure Verte...Scent is nice and it lasts pretty long. Apple Brandy On the Rocks is just ok to me...Drydown is beautiful but I dislike the opening. It's also too soft and weak for the price. Both are an easy pass.
I hear what you say about it not being thick. I didn't purchase because I just didn't feel it was strong enough. Maybe I'll change my mind. Maybe I need to get another whiff.
I love what I’ve smelled from Killian. Definitely quite pricey but most scented water is. I want to collect this particular line but I’ll see when I get my nose on these two. I currently only have Angel share. I like Roses on Ice
I'm sad because i would buy because It sounds amazing ,so delicious ,but i would like It would be stronger .I have angel share(for me one copy ambre narguile and oajan)and black Phanton ,for me one of the best smell ever
I think all By Killian fragrances are good. All the ones I've smelled anyway. I remember when I discovered Back To Black. I thought it was one of the best things I've ever smelled.
Hey! Definitely love Kilian fragrances, and I'm curious about these two! Got Angel's Share, which was an instant love, but didn't really warm up to Roses on Ice, even after trying a full wear several times... Just didn't click for me. And I'm kinda fearing Apple Brandy on Ice might go the same way... 🤷🏻 We'll see when I can actually get to test them! Loool L'heure Vert seems interesting too. Definitely love Gold Knight, which I own, so I'm hopeful. Also love Back to Black. The honey note that Kilian uses does work well on my skin, unlike other brands (I'm looking at you, Bee... 😑). Don't think Kilian fragrances are all weak, but certainly some of them disappear quite fast. Others really have staying power, but it's a mixed bag... 🤔 Thank you for another great video! 👍
I have roses on ice. I blind buy because of Kevin Samuels recommendation. The fragrance smells nice but the longevity sucks. Reminds me of Aqua Di Gio that it smells nice but the performance sucks. Sadly I own both fragrances mentioned. I guess it’s to be expected for paying $195. Since Kilian fragrance line on average goes over $250. I noticed it’s the $195 fragrances from Kilian that performance is lacking. You live you learn cost my wallet about $400 for my two previous mistakes. I’ll stick to Kilian rockstars like intoxicated or back to black
Haven’t had the opportunity to test all By Kilian fragrances but thus far, my favorites are Straight to Heaven Extreme (which I own) & Black Phantom which is tops on my purchase list for a magnificent gourmand!😊 Angels’ Share is very nice but from my perspective, not a “must buy.” Would love to test Apple Brandy on the Rocks!👍
I picked up the Apple Brandy and am waiting for more reviews on the L’heure Verte as I’m not sure that one appeals to me. How would you rate it against Nasomatto’s Absinth?
I just got l'heure verte, it's a very nice absinthe on my skin, but they other reviews I've read say it might not be for everyone. smells better than CDG black which is another licorice fragrance
As a big fan of Angel's Share, i'm looking forward to smelling Apple Brandy on the Rocks. My other favourites from By Kilian are Black Phantom and Intoxicated. Bring on the autumn/winter weather so I can wear them. Back to Black was the only one I disliked so much, despite numerous wears, i sold it on.
I’m now bummed out have both of them coming in a day or two and feel like I’m going to be disappointed, same thing happened with Autumn Vibes. Better get the fragrances first and then watch your reviews 😂
I am not sure why except maybe for the price, but despite my myriad amount of fragrances, I do not own even one By Killian perfume. I have had samples but never owned a full bottle.
The later By Killians suck hard and they don't make statement groundbreaking scents anymore and they use less naturals and more chemical combo's. And the bottle should be glass for sure and this cheap plastic is not fancy at all
The bottom half is glass, but I do agree the whole presentation would be 10/10 if the cap was glass as well but I understand they need to save on costs
Oh boy, I’ve been waiting to get my nose on these two. By Kilian is one of my favorite houses. My two cents on longevity with this house, I own Intoxicated, Black Phantom, Straight to Heaven, Angels’ Share and Rolling in Love. And the first 4 last on my skin for at least 8 hours. I’ve watched several videos on these two fragrances, and of course, all different. Anyway, I’ll need to test them first to make a decision if it’s worth the purchase.
I love what I’ve smelled so far from By Killian; but as you said, they are way too weak and skin-hovering. It kills me ( 😉) too because the scents and names and concepts are just so alluring!
I can to these comments because I bought the Apple brandy on the rocks yes it smells good but the performance is terrible I also bout the angel share and that was great & the performance is great last so long i smell im after I wash my clothes apple brandy no do much I was very disappointed
That's unfortunate, for that price there is no excuse for a loose collar. I think I'd rather have my Apple brandy neat, instead of watered down from ice 😉😂
You are repeating yourself regarding the price. May I say you are a little to slow to my preference. But very knowledgeable and learned a lot by listening to you. Thank you so much!
I love this brand, but I’ve had a similar experience to yours in terms of performance, especially longevity! I love rolling in love, for instance, but the thing simply disappears after an hour and a half! I’ve had a little bit better luck with good girls gone bad and love don’t be shy, but still. But these fragrances are so tempting because of how delectable they are! By the way I also really appreciate having you tell us who the perfumers are.
I have yet to try a Kilian fragrance that blew me away. They all seemed somewhat transparent to me. I haven't tried Angel Share yet though, so I might give that one a try.
L`heure verte to me is a 90 % copy of Lolita Lempicka Masculine in the limited black bottle. such a shame L.L is taken over by big company, killing all creativity. green lover etc. is poor. another one bites in the dust. good to have a overpriced revival of the scent with by Kilian;-) could anyone copy AIR by Kenzo ;-)
I don't know what you're smelling. I know, I know - different tastes. Everybody isn't going to like everything the same, but Apple Brandy on the Rocks smells straight nasty to me. In the trash it went. I wanted to like it. I sprayed all over my home, just spraying and spraying... trying to find a reason to like the scent. Nope. You said it was herbacious. Yeah, I got that, but no, nope and no way. It's on its way to a landfill. God that stuff was awful.
I tried Apple Brandy on the Rocks, and like a bad cocktail, the alcohol completely overpowered all the other notes. I also experienced this with Angels’ Share. However, I did not experience this with Straight to Heaven or L’Heure Verte, which are both gorgeous fragrances.

Anegl's Share is a beast on me, such a beautiful sweet boozy fragrance with that oak. ordered Apple Brandy On the rocks, cant wait, great reviews as usual :)
what are your thoughts on Apple Brandy On The Rocks ?
With this price I can get a lot of fragrances with great performance like xerjoff or parfums de marly and more
I just got Apple Brandy on the rocks, smells so good on me! I’m obsessed lol and is curious to see how others like it. Reminds me of holidays. 🥰 Perfect time to wear Apple Brandy on the rocks. It’s now 7:25pm and I sprayed two pumps at 9am and I can still smell it!
Yes!!! Smells like the holidays! I’m obsessed with it too. Blends perfectly with my skin chemistry.
Im a HUGE fan…!
Owned LOVE DBShy, Angel Share, Side Effect, and lots more.
Can’t wait to sniff the latest releases.
Good stuff
Thank you Sebastian
I like l'heure verte because of the absinthe note - which is a favorite of mine - but not for two C-notes. If I can't get 8 hours from a fragrance, forget it.
Precisely❗ Especially at the price point of what they're charging
I will sample them in store but mostly like I will pass the releases this time, I am happy with my Angel's Share.

I smelled both of them this past sunday and bought the Apple Brandy because of the nice scent after a 2 hour dry down !
Black Phantom is my favorite Kilian and also in my top 5 perfumes of all time. It’s delicious!! 😋
Need to buy a bottle of L'Heure Verte, I also love licorice and anise. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
I just received my Apple Brandy OTR and my cap is loose as well, for the scent it is so beautiful and well blended. It’s really good but very masculine, not for me but for my husband for sure. It’s a handsome fragrance!
I have Angels Share, & love it. I smelled Apple Brandy, & I honestly can’t pick which I like the best!!!
Apple Brandy is a favorite. I'm looking at On The Rox version so curious to test.
Thanks for the review. As a Kilian fan, I’m excited about these new releases and was waiting for your reviews.
I agree with you Sebastian. I do enjoy the smell of By Kilian fragrances. However, I wish they were stronger and lasted a little longer. My personal favorite from this house is Moonlight in Heaven.
I’m a big Kilian fan. Favs are Black Phantom, intoxicated and Angel’s Share. Love your content…..and all the hard work. Thx.
Angels' Share! I will pick up a sample of Apple Brandy.😊
I have the Angels share and I absolutely love it! I get compliments on it all the time and people asking me what am I wearing.
Looking forward to adding a Kilian to my collection! Great review, thank you.
Great frags and review. I picked up Angels Share my favorite so far. Apple Brandy is awesome but L'Herure is outstanding 👍🏼
So interesting to see how less "nischy" Bykilian has become after being bought by Estée-Lauder. Plastic bottles, low quality sprayers, more synthetic smells and reformulations and less performance. Somewhat tragic.
Happens to so many great salons after being bought out
Skipping on these 😄. l am waiting for the new Oriana by Perfumes de Marly. It is only available online now. If you know how ut smells, please share! Thank you 🤗
My favorite from the house is Dark Lord. I love dark leather fragrances and this one has enormous silage and longevity. Even more than gucci guilty absolute.
They both sound very interesting need to check them out great review Seb my favorite is still rolling in love 👍
Hanoi MORI BLACK PHANTOM and ROLLING IN LOVE!
Gloppier and Oompfy going into the vocab! You're a treasure trove of new terms Sebastian! 😄 I definitely need to test out Gold Knight again. Always preferred B2B, but I haven't revisited Gold Knight in a while. Might be time.
¡Gracias!

I think I’ll skip. It’s the lack of performance for me at this price point. Even tho I can’t deny how good they smell

But Black Phantom, just one spray of that and there's a bubble of chocolate around me, that stuff is strong.
@@minhbu95 yes but for how long. Its strong for the first hour then it's a second skin of almond/sandalwood
Exactly. When i pay that kind of money i expect the perfume to project and last.
Another example is Straight to Heaven. A wonderful scent but way to weak. So happy when they released STH Extreme.... but why the h*ll did they discontinued that one? To continue with wimpty performance?
@@benjaminyuksel7824 even the extreme had bad performance imo
Looking forward to your Amouage Silver Oud review!
I like L'Heure Verte...Scent is nice and it lasts pretty long.
Apple Brandy On the Rocks is just ok to me...Drydown is beautiful but I dislike the opening. It's also too soft and weak for the price.
Both are an easy pass.
I just bought Apple Brandy. I don’t like it. It too weak.
I already sampled both and both are great. I need to find a deal on both to buy both or one or the other. Great review.
I hear what you say about it not being thick. I didn't purchase because I just didn't feel it was strong enough. Maybe I'll change my mind. Maybe I need to get another whiff.
I love what I’ve smelled from Killian. Definitely quite pricey but most scented water is. I want to collect this particular line but I’ll see when I get my nose on these two. I currently only have Angel share. I like Roses on Ice
The fragrances are launching!!🚀🚀🚀🚀 Its exciting!
I'm sad because i would buy because It sounds amazing ,so delicious ,but i would like It would be stronger .I have angel share(for me one copy ambre narguile and oajan)and black Phanton ,for me one of the best smell ever
Thanks Sebastian for this nice video
I think all By Killian fragrances are good. All the ones I've smelled anyway. I remember when I discovered Back To Black. I thought it was one of the best things I've ever smelled.
Thought they rebranded to Kilian Paris? Feels like the L'Huerte Verte is getting more positive and selling better. Your take surprised me.
Apple Brandy on the rocks reminds me of ysl La nuit L'homme
HOLA SEBASTIÁN!!!! Happy Tuesday. I'm excited to hear your thoughts.
Morning!

I love boozy gourmands and Kilian does them so well you're absolutely right.
Perfect and outstanding review ever. Keep up 👏
I want to try these so badly. They sound delicious.

Thank you Sebastian! I have angel’s share but I don’t think this is really my favorite type of fragrances. ❤️ from Miami.
👍👍👍 awesome video you never disappoint.
Can you pull it off in the summer ? In Miami weather ?
Ive been wanting to get a bottle of intoxicated.Nice review.
Please do a By kilian ranking video!
I tested them today at store, Angel and Apple...is my favorite, how about lasting, 5-8 hours? Thanks
Haven’t had the opportunity to test all By Kilian fragrances but thus far, my favorites are Straight to Heaven Extreme (which I own) & Black Phantom which is tops on my purchase list for a magnificent gourmand!😊 Angels’ Share is very nice but from my perspective, not a “must buy.” Would love to test Apple Brandy on the Rocks!👍
you should try pearl oud
Thanks for introducing and sharing Sir. Your facial expression is very important to us on these fragrances 👍👍👍
I picked up the Apple Brandy and am waiting for more reviews on the L’heure Verte as I’m not sure that one appeals to me. How would you rate it against Nasomatto’s Absinth?

I was waiting for this. Thank you.
I love this brand but they are reformulating too much. I want to try both of these new ones and A Kiss From A Rose too.
Great review

I dono if Im going to drop big coin on niche it has to be juice that is beast mode. For designers its not as important
I love what I’ve smelled so far from By Killian; but as you said, they are way too weak and skin-hovering. It kills me ( 😉) too because the scents and names and concepts are just so alluring!
I like it boozy but these seem too expensive.
Apple Brandy on the Rocks is a lighter version of Cedrat Bose' by Mancera thanks to the freshness and pineapple.
Im boh fan of Killian ❤️
I can to these comments because I bought the Apple brandy on the rocks yes it smells good but the performance is terrible I also bout the angel share and that was great & the performance is great last so long i smell im after I wash my clothes apple brandy no do much I was very disappointed

Why was I just thinking this😂😂😂
I like Angel share 👌
anyone know of any thicker alternatives to apple brandy by kilian?
Seriously - I am N O T going to fork out mega bucks, for a fragrance that '' lacks the TRUE KICK/LONGEVITY ''.
If we ALL come together and stop buying the subpar fragrances that no one can smell after an hour maybe the industry will finally take note
Weak fragrances but I agree they smell great.
You are repeating yourself regarding the price. May I say you are a little to slow to my preference. But very knowledgeable and learned a lot by listening to you. Thank you so much!
Have you heard of the idea that people skip around watching the videos that’s in regards to why I repeat prices and things over and over again! 😀
@@ThePerfumeGuy yes.. now that I think of it.. I totally agree wt you. Sorry i made that remark. ♥️
I want to sit around and smell fragrance with you in your closet! Aren't you in SF?
I love this brand, but I’ve had a similar experience to yours in terms of performance, especially longevity! I love rolling in love, for instance, but the thing simply disappears after an hour and a half! I’ve had a little bit better luck with good girls gone bad and love don’t be shy, but still.

Just came back after I sampled Apple Brandy OtR. The drydown is so bitter with a spicy and earthy ambrox note 🤢 Feels so unpleasant like LVs Meteore 👎
I hate Kilian discontinued Amber Oud.
I have yet to try a Kilian fragrance that blew me away. They all seemed somewhat transparent to me. I haven't tried Angel Share yet though, so I might give that one a try.
I would be all over these if they sold them with glass caps. The plastic caps ruin the whole thing for me.
They are ok but I’m not spending the money on an ok fragrance. At least imo
Love Black Phantom .... everything else is very week and not worthy buying in my opinion
Just tried Apple Brandy on rocks. It's just like a boozy version of La Nuit de L'homme😂
Wich perfume very very very very very longlast super super longlast
🌹
waste of money - 4hrs and all gone. This fragrance should be on Costco not premium bouthique!
Abor is such a disappointment!
👍👍👍
Boozy.
L`heure verte to me is a 90 % copy of Lolita Lempicka Masculine in the limited black bottle. such a shame L.L is taken over by big company, killing all creativity. green lover etc. is poor. another one bites in the dust. good to have a overpriced revival of the scent with by Kilian;-) could anyone copy AIR by Kenzo ;-)
Why do I feel that the lighting and position of the camera makes u look like a floating egg 😂
Maybe because all you see is eggs? You must be hungry! ;)
I don't know what you're smelling. I know, I know - different tastes. Everybody isn't going to like everything the same, but Apple Brandy on the Rocks smells straight nasty to me. In the trash it went. I wanted to like it. I sprayed all over my home, just spraying and spraying... trying to find a reason to like the scent. Nope. You said it was herbacious. Yeah, I got that, but no, nope and no way. It's on its way to a landfill. God that stuff was awful.
Maybe you should stick to designer fragrances. :)
I tried Apple Brandy on the Rocks, and like a bad cocktail, the alcohol completely overpowered all the other notes. I also experienced this with Angels’ Share. However, I did not experience this with Straight to Heaven or L’Heure Verte, which are both gorgeous fragrances.
