Which Should You Buy?
This one's a gem, a real shame it's discontinued. Single Malt delivers a plush, boozy plum experience that resonates with those who appreciate a sophisticated, warm scent, though some find its projection lacking. If you can hunt down a bottle, you're in for a treat; it's rightly earned its cult status.
A budget read of By Kilian's Single Malt - that boozy whisky-and-plum gourmand-woody with its dry cedar, ambery tolu and sweet vanilla. Malt Amber captures the plum-through-and-smoke-in-the-drydown character well, with PP wearers calling it very close, though it leans sweeter and the refined whisky nuance reads a touch flatter. A genuinely convincing boozy cold-weather scent for the money.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and rich, warm accords make it suitable for office wear if applied sparingly. The opulent, boozy nature leans heavily towards date nights and formal events, though it's still comforting for casual wear in cooler months. It's far too heavy and luxurious for athletic activities.
Seasons
A boozy plum-and-whisky gourmand over vanilla and warm woods that radiates cold-weather cosiness, sitting best in autumn and winter; the sweetness feels heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Warm, intoxicating and a little sensual, it leans toward evenings, dates and formal cold-weather settings more than casual or sporty wear.
