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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of By Kilian - Apple B - a woody fragrance led by Oak, with amber depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

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
Best in autumn and winter - the woody, amber profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the woody accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
