Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive Kilian, everyone agrees it's boozy, but what kind of booze? And what about the apple? Some swear by it as a masterpiece, while others are left wondering where the apple went among all the wood. It's a statement, but be warned, it's not for everyone.
A dupe of Penhaligon's The Tragedy of Lord George - the boozy brandy-accord opening comes through well, but the original's distinctive shaving-soap facet is largely missing here.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its boozy and woody profile, Apple Brandy is best suited for colder weather and evening events. It projects a sophisticated warmth that's perfect for a date night or formal setting, but would be too heavy for the office or sport.
Seasons
Warm boozy-woody character suits autumn and winter far more than summer.
Occasions
Sophisticated and warm for evenings and formal wear; too rich for daily office use.
