Which Should You Buy?

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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Taygeta EDT
Taygeta is a divisive little number. Some adore its complex, sensual aura, others find it too much or simply confusing. Approach with an open mind.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.

Taygeta

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its rich and warm amber-woody profile, Taygeta is best reserved for evening events where its impressive sillage won't overwhelm. It's a bit too much for the office and definitely not for sporty endeavors, but perfect for making an impression on a date or at a formal gathering.
