Kilian Apple Brandy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Sidonie Lancesseur. Apple Brandy opens with Sugar Cane, Apple, Plum, and Rum, settles into a heart of Oak and Smoke, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vanilla, Ambroxan, and Labdanum. Kilian's Apple Brandy carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly divisive Kilian, everyone agrees it's boozy, but what kind of booze? And what about the apple? Some swear by it as a masterpiece, while others are left wondering where the apple went among all the wood. It's a statement, but be warned, it's not for everyone.

About

Imagine a rustic barrel-aged rum, infused with the sweetness of dark plums and cane sugar, then finished with a smoky oak char. This scent captures that boozy depth, settling into a rich vanilla and ambroxan base with a prominent woody backbone. Hints of an almost-apple shimmer through the intoxicating blend, a fleeting fruity sweetness that keeps you guessing.
