Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Do It For Love EDP
This underrated Kilian gem takes a surprisingly realistic orange blossom and petitgrain blend, delivering a clean, uplifting white floral experience. Reviews are polarised on its opening, but rave about its staying power for a fresh scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some, but a 'holy grail' for others.
Statement
Our Verdict - Great Fondness EDP
Great Fondness targets By Kilian's Do It For Love - the clean floral-woody-musk where bright orange blossom, neroli and jasmine meet a green vetiver base. The dupe captures the fresh white-floral signature but renders it flatter, with the classy, polished drydown simplified and longevity sitting closer to the skin.

Its clean, fresh white floral and citrus accords make it highly versatile for casual wear and suitable for office environments.
