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 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.

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.
