Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue Edition Oud EDP
This isn't for the faint of heart. Prepare for an intense, unapologetically masculine oud and smoke assault. If you want something subtle, keep walking. This is for those who crave a scent that enters the room before they do and makes no apologies.
Statement
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Blue Edition Oud

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given the very strong oud and smoke, this perfume is too overpowering for an office environment. Its bold, statement-making character, however, lends itself well to formal events and date nights where making a strong impression is desired.

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.
