Love and Tears

by Calice Becker

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

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.
