Weil Kipling is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1986, created by Jean-Pierre Mary. Kipling opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Pine, Jasmine, Geranium, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Patchouli. Weil's Kipling carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Kipling is a classic herbal and woody masculine built on lavender, pine and oakmoss. It smells traditional in the best way: green, aromatic and leathery. A good pick for anyone who likes old-school men's scents.

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.

About

Kipling opens with artemisia, lavender, juniper, bergamot and lemon, a sharp and aromatic start. The heart brings pine, basil, geranium, carnation and jasmine, mixing green herbs with a little spice and floral softness. In the base, oakmoss, leather, musk, patchouli and cedar give a dry, earthy and slightly animalic finish. This eau de toilette is a traditional masculine that moves from crisp herbs to a deep, mossy and leathery base.
