Kilian A Taste of Heaven is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Calice Becker. A Taste of Heaven opens with Orange Blossom and Lavender, settles into a heart of Bergamot, Patchouli, Rose, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Kilian's A Taste of Heaven carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This cult classic will set you back a pretty penny on the aftermarket, but fans insist its smooth, refined lavender-vanilla is miles ahead of its cheaper inspirations. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent though, with some finding it heavenly while others are repelled.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an intriguing, slightly sour absinthe kick from wormwood and bergamot, leading quickly into a smooth, refined lavender heart. This aromatic core is softened by creamy vanilla and tonka bean, underscored by a subtle earthy warmth from patchouli and oakmoss. Geranium and rose add a hint of floral complexity, settling into a comforting, long-lasting amber base.
