Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a honey bomb; you'll either love it or want to scrub it off. This divisive Kilian scent is a powerful, sweet beast that demands attention - and perhaps a little patience to appreciate its unique charm. Definitely not a blind buy.
A close budget take on By Kilian Gold Knight. Shining Honour reproduces the boozy honey-and-anise signature over a patchouli base, with the chief divergence a slightly louder, sweeter honey and a marginally less refined drydown than the long-lasting original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its immense sillage and longevity make it too overpowering for the office, risking offence. However, its rich, seductive character and luxurious feel make it perfect for dates and formal evening events, especially in colder weather.
Seasons
The rich boozy honey and warm patchouli base are made for cool autumn and winter evenings, too heavy for summer.
Occasions
Its sensual, boozy warmth suits date nights and dressed-up evenings rather than the office.
