Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sunkissed Goddess EDP

Divisive and wildly overpriced, Sunkissed Goddess struggles to justify its high price tag against a backdrop of 'been there, done that' tropical scents. Some find it a beautiful, elegant take on a beachy vibe, but many are left asking: is this really Kilian?

Statement

Our Verdict - San Diego EDP

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Giorgio Armani My Way (2020) - orange blossom, indian tuberose and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sunkissed Goddess

Seasons

Best For:

Summer

Also Works:

Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its moderate projection and skin-scent dry down make it acceptable for casual wear or dates where closeness is desired. However, the distinctly tropical and 'sunscreen' vibe makes it less fitting for formal events or the gym, and it's too noticeable for a strict office environment.
