Philipp Plein Parfums The $kull is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Alberto Morillas. The $kull opens with Pepper, Cardamom, and Rainwater, settles into a heart of Woody and Leather, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Ambergris. Philipp Plein Parfums's The $kull carries a Favourite verdict, a leather-led wear.

This one's a proper punchy leather bomb with monstrous performance, but be warned: the price tag and brand optics have got a lot of people seeing red. If you can get past that, it's a confident, divisive scent that'll get noticed.

Given its beast-mode performance and strong leather accords, this fragrance would be far too overpowering for an office setting. It's perfectly suited for dates and formal occasions where its bold character can shine without overwhelming, and it's also a good casual evening choice if applied lightly.

About

It kicks off with a sharp, peppery aquatic blast, quickly shifting to a dominant, raw leather heart with deep woody undertones. The dry down mellows into a surprisingly sweet, vanilla-infused ambergris, a contrast to its animalic opening. A complex, evolving beast for those who like their fragrance to make a statement.
