Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Intoxicated EDP
A decadent Turkish coffee fantasy - Intoxicated is a masterwork of spicy sweetness, swirling cardamom and caramel over a dark roasted base. Unapologetically rich and addictive, it is both comfort and indulgence.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Lose Control EDP
Lose Control chases By Kilian Intoxicated's spiced-coffee signature, the cardamom-and-mocha pairing warmed by nutmeg and cinnamon, and lands the cosy gourmand mood. It loses the original's polished richness and big first-hour sillage, wearing flatter and skin-close, but as a budget coffee-spice scent it captures that addictive, warm-bakery character for a fraction of the price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Intoxicated

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The warm spicy, sweet, and gourmand character makes this ideal for cool weather in fall and winter, while the cardamom freshness allows limited wear in spring. Too dense and rich for high summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Its enveloping projection and gourmand warmth excel on dates or upscale evening occasions, but may be a bit much for daily office or daytime casual wear. Not suited for sports due to sweetness and density.

Lose Control

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Rich coffee, cardamom and warm spice feel cosy in cold weather and cloying in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its warm, sensual gourmand character leans evening and date wear over the office or sport.
