Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rouge Smoking Extrait
Rouge Smoking Extrait is a divisive beast. For some, it's a sexier, darker cherry ode, a true 'beast mode' scent. For others, it's a synthetic, screechy misstep, a 'hot mess' of ambroxan that falls short of the original.

Our Verdict - Old Fashioned EDP
Kilian's Old Fashioned is a divisonal boozy gourmand that delivers on its name, but isn't for everyone. Some find the realistic whiskey note captivating; others recoil from smelling like a "wealthy alcoholic old lady" or a night out. Not a safe blind-buy for the faint of liver.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rouge Smoking

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This extrait is a powerhouse with reports of beastly longevity and strong projection, making it too much for an office setting. Its rich, dark, and sensual profile, highlighted by cherry and rum, makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events, though perhaps a bit too intense for everyday casual wear.

Old Fashioned

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its photorealistic boozy opening and strong amber character, this is best reserved for evening events or intimate dates, rather than the office. The scent profile is too direct and heavy for casual or sporty wear, but works well for formal occasions in cool weather when you want to make a statement.
