Kilian Love and Tears is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Calice Becker. Love and Tears opens with Bergamot, Petitgrain, Lavender, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Oakmoss, and Styrax. Kilian's Love and Tears carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a fiercely divisive white floral, with some hailing it as a masterpiece of fresh jasmine and others finding it overwhelming or simply 'nice' but overpriced. If you're a devoted white floral fiend, it's worth a sniff.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, where it could be distracting. However, its sophisticated floral character and impressive performance lend itself well to date nights and formal events, though it can also be dressed down for casual wear by some.

About

Opens with a brisk, green burst of galbanum and bergamot, softened by delicate lavender and petitgrain. The heart unfolds into a lush, intoxicating bouquet of white florals - jasmine and lily of the valley dominate, with hints of orange blossom, narcissus, and ylang-ylang. A grounding base of oakmoss, cedar, and styrax provides an earthy, slightly musky depth.
