By Kilian: Love and Tears

By Kilian: Love and Tears...or just tears?


At first, I was sniffing Penhaligon's Esprit du Roi for a half of a day and I wanted to repesent it to you, but it's too 'misterious'.That wasn't enough time to understand a perfume. That's why I'm offering you today one of the Kilian's with very catchy name! :)

Prvo sam mirisao Penhaligon's-ov Esprit du Roi preko pola dana i zapravo sam htio njega danas predstaviti, ali previše je 'misteriozan'. To mi nije bilo dosta vremena da ga shvatim. Zato, danas Vam nudim Kilianov parfem jako zvučnog naziva! :)

 I need to say that this perfume had a very good idea during its formation. A concept for developing the ninth perfume from the collection was perfect. 

Kilian once has said:

"Only the jasmine flower, with its endless spectrum of facets

- citrus, green, floral and animalistic - was able to express 

the profusion of emotions that I wanted to communicate with this 

scent: the beginning of love marked with excitement, the fear of the unknown,

and, ultimately, the surrender to love!"

 Mr. Kilian, so perfect...how can I express..- PR expert? The perfume is one of those which are dedicated to love from L'Oeuvre Noir collection and it has the name - Surrender. Surrender to a perfume which is dedicated to jasmine - if you can. A name and the concept were very promising, but after a while everything goes to one fresh, floral and watery note of jasmine and other ingredients. A perfume is not bad at all, probably one with the jasmine of top quality, but I'm little bit disappointed after promising announcements. I didn't expect so floral composition which tilts towards feminine side.

_______________________________________________

Moram reći da je ovaj parfem imao izvrsnu ideju nastajanja. Koncept za stvaranje devetog po redu parfema u kolekciji je bio savršen. 

Kilian je jednom prilikom rekao slijedeće:

"Samo s cvijetom jasmina, sa svojim beskrajnim licima - 

citrusno, zeleno, cvijetno i animalističko - je bilo moguće 

izraziti fuziju emocija za koje sam htio da korespondiraju

s parfemom: početak ljubavi s uzbuđenjem, strah od

nepoznatog, i na kraju, predaja u ruke ljubavi!" 

Taj Kilian, tako dobar...kako da se izrazim - PR strucnjak? Parfem spada u parfeme posvećene ljubavi iz L'Oeuvre Noir kolekcije i u sebi nosi naziv Surrender. Predajte se parfemu koji je posvećen jasminu - ako možete. Ime parfema i koncept je bio vrlo obećavajuć, ali kasnije se sve raspršuje u jednu svježu, cvijetnu i  vodenastu notu jasmina i popratnih sastojaka. Parfem uopće nije loš, vjerojatno je jedan od kvalitetnijih jasmina, ali ja sam ostao prilično razočaran nakon obećavajućih najava. Nisam očekivao toliko cvijetnu kompoziciju koja naginje na tradicionalno ženstvenu stranu.

 As you can assume, everything is abot jasmine. The opening is as it is in every Kilian, the burst of everything it has. I like the starting of the perfume and it would be better that smell has stayed till the end.. Unlike other Kilians, Love and Tears are offering the least of olfactory experience. Regarding that, it's not deep and extremely interesting because it is reminiscent of floral compositions on which we are used to. Opening of a perfume is the most interesting. That is jasmine mixed up with the orange, bergamot (something like a lime, only more citrusy) and very intense labdanum and ylang-ylang. Those are two flower ingredients which give a minimum of creamy smell. With other notes, the smell is just like a bouquet of fresh flowers. In some point I have sensed something like amber which added something animalistic to the composition and it really has it, but it was musc, not amber.

 Kao što možete pretpostaviti, sve se vrti oko jasmina. Otvaranje je kao i kod svakog Kiliana, napad svega što ima u sebi. Početak parfema mi se sviđa i bilo bi dobro da je takav i ostao do kraja. Za razliku od ostalih Kiliana, Love and Tears nudi najmanje olfaktivnog iskustva. Pritom mislim na to da nije dubok niti izuzetno zanimljiv nego podsjeća na uobičajene cvijetne kompozicije na kakve smo navikli. Početak parfema je nazanimljiviji od svega. To je jasmin pomiješan s narandžom, bergamotom (to je nešto poput limuna, samo više citrusan, a manje limunast) i jako intenzivnim labdanumom i ylang-ylangom. To su dva cvijetna sastojka koja daju minimalno kremast miris, ali sve u svemu, to zajedno djeluje poput buketa sviježeg cvijeća. U jednom trenu sam osjetio nešto poput ambera što je dalo animalističku notu, i na kraju se ispostavilo da zbilja ima animalnu notu, samo što ej to bio mošus, a ne amber.

This perfume is not a master-piece nor one of the best from By Kilian collection. Matter in fact, this is a good perfume, especially for those who love the smell of jasmine, puriness and florals, but it is the worst from the Kilian collection because it offers the least of perfume making craftmenship. Is it rational to have this perfume in collection among other nice perfumes with jasmine? 

The only thing that could be interesting about this perfume is that is worn by men. The ones who would like to wear jasmine or floral composition this is a perfect thing because you will not find so 'manly' jasmine. This is a perfect unisex perfume.

I see it as a fresh, pure and watery jasmine which is perfect for every opportunity, even for a signature perfume. The only problem could be the fact that is uninteresting. :D

Parfem nije remek djelo, niti je jedan od boljih iz Kilianove kolekcije. Zapravo, ovo je dobar parfem, za ljubitelje jasmina i onih koji vole čiste, cvijetne parfeme, ali je najlošiji od Kilianovih zato što nudi najmanje parfemske umjetnosti. Da li se isplati imati ovaj u kolekciji pokraj drugih lijepih parfema s jasminom? 

Jedino što bi moglo biti interesantno je to da muškarci nose ovaj parfem. Oni koji bi htjeli nositi jasmin ili cvijetnu kompoziciju, ovo je i više nego savršena stvar. Nigdje nećete naići na 'muškiji' jasmin. Ovo je savršeno unisex parfem. 

Ja ga vidim kao svjež, čist i vodenast jasmin koji je savršen za svaku priliku, pa čak i za signature parfem. Jedini bi problem bio to što je ne zanimljiv. :D
