Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Apple Brandy EDP
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - The Tragedy of Lord George EDP
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

Apple Brandy

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.

Winter
Also Works:
Autumn

Warm boozy-woody character suits autumn and winter far more than summer.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Formal

Sophisticated and warm for evenings and formal wear; too rich for daily office use.
