Beyond Love

OMG. Beyond Love is strong, very strong. Beyond Love is "sexy, overwhelming, sexy, bizarre glory". Perfect definition from previous reviewer! I tried many hours ago and it's still lingering on my wrist, so that I managed to wash my hands without putting soap on that spot. I don't want to loose it so soon! I don't even want to imagine opening the tap of the barrel and putting my head under the flow of Beyond Love. It could be too much for my little brain. I tried it almost careless while looking for something else to test. The by Kilians didn't impress me much at first. Ok, the bottle is absolutely stunning, but it's not a reason enough to buy for me. Well, I don't see me buying this one anyway. It is charged 175 euro for 50ml. Another scent to swoon for that I won't have in my collection :-( Why do I like these expensive scents? In this case I like Beyond Love, not all By Kilian and a good reason for liking it is high quality. In the '80s I thought that original Chloè was best tuberouse, then I thought that Fracas was best tuberouse, then I thought that Carnal Flower was best tuberouse. From today on I will think that Beyond Love is best tuberouse. A total global floral experience to shake your brains in a grey sad evening in winter. At first a single squirt seems to be too much already. I smell strong coconut. I don't even like coconut in fragrances. It smells like cheap suntan lotion in many perfumes. Coconut in Beyond Love is heavenly. What kind of coconut do they actually put inside? It is a special coconut from a hidden secret kingdom in Far East? Igave it time to settle down, hoping that it would morph to an ugly mess of coconut and messy flowers. I didn't want to like it. That never happened. It actually became smoother and smoother pure, thick yet subtle, strong yet soft tuberouse, climbing the ladders of my head and making my knees weak. On my skin it only gets better with hours. In the drydown coconut gives a special mouthwatering creaminess to tuberouse. The sillage is perfect. Beyond Love is to die for. In spite of being utterly feminine I can see a man with an odd personality proudly wearing this one. If a man I don't feel attracted to gave me this one I would run away with the black box as fast as I could! In the shop they didn't even have a free little vial for smelling purposes to give me.

It is a sexy, sweet, feminine, lovely....Intoxicating scent. The scent is a divine fresh sweet creamy almost a buttery floral (just the right green notes added to it). It is stunning from start to finish! It wears into a sublime tropical heavenly scent. Amazing notes that are amazingly put together. It is a STUNNING fragrance. I was told recently at a party that I smelled very sexy, and beautiful. It does have some longevity and is strong - but it is no loud or harsh. This is not a silage monster. A few sprays is all I need for a good 10+ hours. It is perfectly done. It is everything you want in a beautiful tuberose scent plus plus! ____Love!Lov____________Love!Love ______Love!Love!Love_______Love!Love!Love!L ____Love!Love!Love!Love___Love!Love!Love!Love ___Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Lo_______Love __Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Lo_________Love _Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!L_______Love _Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!______Lo Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love__Lov Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Lo_L Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love _Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Lo __Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love! ____Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Lo ______Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Lo _________Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!Love!L ____________Love!Love!Love!Love!Love! ______________Love!Love!Love!Love! _________________Love!Love!Lov ___________________Love!Love _____________________Love!L ______________________Love _______________________Lo * Edit: * 'buttery' does not mean it smells like butter or popcorn.

12th What is beyond love? Ecstasy or Disappointment... I tested this on another warm humid day and sprayed it extremely generously. I have two 5-ml decants from 2 different shops, and one is just a tad better from a dabbing on my skin. Different bottles, year, effects from environment in which it was stored? The best decant I had before these two was light yellowish in color but these two are orange in color. My first decant (out of 3 decants) was delicious and sultry. So I wanted more, but was disappointed in what I received and thought I could give it another testing chance again. I imagine this must have been reformulated at some point, because I remember it being a better, lovelier tuberose, more effecvescent fruitiness, sweetness, tartness, coconut and less greens. It is still a good tropical tuberose with a hint of stems and plastic. I do not get camphor, grape, or bubblegum notes. It does have a beachy aroma (like intense tiare by montale for example), but much milder. So after dousing myself in this supposably extremely potent tuberose, it did not radiate much despite the perfect warm humid weather in which it should have bloomed. For the price, there are many better options out there. But that doesn't mean I dislike it; I am just bummed that it is not what it was, like the first time I tried it and was beyond love...in ecstasy. If anyone has had a similar experience, please share. Is it me? 8/10

Love and beyond love are the gourmet flower flavored french marshmallow smelling Kilians. And I adore them both. It took me a long time and many testings over years to even LIKE this fragrance, the tuberose and the jasmine killed it for me, but they mellow out quickly into something very gourmand and sweet. I just ordered the 100ml refill from Luckyscent, it is the same price of the bottle for double the juice. I am not sure they let you get it unless you have a record of having a kilian full sized, but I am not sure. They have a limited selection of said refills, but if you are in europe and go to the bykillian site, you can purchase the 100 ml. refill of all of their perfumes. Maybe it works in the states to but not for me. Their Full bottles are 50ml. The bykilian site is amazing, if you click on the fragrance youre interested in and then "perfumers notes", it lists every note and amount used for every perfume they make. You know get to know exactly what your'e smelling and it shows the brands confidence that they cannot be replicated because of the fine ingredients and mixing. Im checking in at cosbar if they can get the love refill, hopefully they can, its a great money saver! I love my Kilians and use them quite often (I went through .25 oz in 2 days of my new to go sized Love). Life is short, enjoy it, enjoy your favorite fragrances to the full extent- or thats what I do anyway ;)

I first reviewed this over a year ago from a tester vial I purchased on Ebay. It came in three vials and I sprayed it once. It nearly knocked me down and was just horrible! It was amazing for about ten seconds. I was rifling through my collection of samples when I saw these vials again. I noticed one of them was a different color than the other two. Upon closer inspection I also saw that it was the only one with fluid in the pump! I decided to spray one of the others, and boom! Pure love! It is the truest most exclusively tuberose fragrance (barring the real flower) I have ever experienced. It is very similar to Bond No 9 Saks for her but greener, sharper, more potent and much longer lasting! It is in a word, perfect! Everything I have been searching for in a fragrance. There is something in the last notes of the dry down (at least on my skin) that reminds me very much of the peachy metallic tang that I love in Carolina Herrera. I'll never forget this fragrance. A new signature!

So I do see people talking about more green notes or color differences (@xenanora & @cherubi rubi) This juice, while it has been reformulated, smells exactly the same. It’s the same issue with Love Dont Be Shy. There is a heavy vanilla in this alongside the coconut, although vanilla isn’t listed here. The reformulation comes with the vanilla changes. The lighter juice is the newer batches which haven’t aged. As with many Kilians, they age like fine wine. Take for example LDBS, Intoxicated, Black Phantom, etc. Certain notes gets stronger over time. I have a very dark brown juice which is apparently the coveted color, but I have tried a very recent brighter colored one. To me, the only difference is a stronger green tuberose for 5 min but that’s it. They are practically the exact same. The issue I see people have is with the newer juices which only come in refills. If you are able to find a bottle, it’ll 99% coke with darker aged juice which has a stronger coconut.

{Excerpt from a piece I wrote on perfume}: The scent is called "Beyond Love". It very nearly is. It is certainly as overwhelming as that first, stomach-clenching fall. Sumptuous. Drenching. Lush on a scale that leaves me heavy-lidded. In fact, narcotic. Or better. Opiates have nothing on the luscious, ambrosial somnolence of this sensation. Breathing in, being surrounded by, this scent is as overwhelming as lying on summer grass at sunset, watching the sky as a storm rolls toward you—while sprawled between sheets made of cream-white silk. Actually, I am sprawled on white sheets—sheets of damasked cotton-sateen. The sensory contrast—between the slight give that could pass as roughness in the fine-spun cotton, and the hedonistically sleek, impenetrably textured scent of the tuberose—is hypnotic, bewitching... ...far better than opium.

Tuberose Bomb for sure. You have to love tuberose to wear this. It is a tropical scent and I can smell the coconut more so in the drydown. No musk on me or for that matter no amber on me either. This is not a winter fragrance whatsoever, summer time here we come!!! Great for evenings out, having lunch or dinner down by the marina, or daytime wedding even for the bride! Longevity is very good. The older Kilian are wonderful for that. On clothes even better. Sillage also good, this is a compliment getter and definitely surrounds you in a room. Again, subjective may be different on others. This also leans more on the feminine side but anyone could wear this! Recommended 9/10

Beyond love is gorgeous. You must love tuberose to love BL. There's just a slight hint of sweetness from the coconut and tuberose itself, but I would not call this a sweet scent by any means. This is a very creamy floral that is polished to perfection. It exudes sheer femininity. There is that garden type greenness lingering throughout but it is discreet. The tuberose is by far most dominant and is quite realistic. BL becomes part of you, or you become a part of it. It sinks into your skin like it's meant to be there, like it is your natural scent. Edit: I wore this out yesterday and had 3 people compliment me. I haven't had that many compliments on a day...ever!

I took the plunge! After sampling this on my skin at home, at work, at home again, in my car (I think y'all get the picture) I bought the 100 ml refill for a song! This perfume is the first high end I have owned since 1974 when my grand mother gave me Estee Lauder Private Collection. Even though I was a teenager I knew what I had was precious. Since the reformulation I've been searching for a scent that made me feel like I did when I was 15.....I finally found it. This fragrance is absolutely stunning on my skin. It opens up with an in-your-face punch. I can detect a faint coconut but the tuberose is intoxicating! The silage is good and I'm a very happy camper!

I can see what was attempted here but unfortunately don't appreciate it! Tuberose is my favorite flower and as a consequence, I either love or hate perfumes that emulate it's fragrance. It begins with an initial blast of true to life freshly cut tuberose but quickly turns into a weird and chemical battle between Dr Pepper and graphite or pencil leads! It is bizarre and really unpleasant. It's a crude caricature of tuberose that way over shoots the bitter note in real tuberose! Boy this is just as gross and unauthentic as Fracas but in a completely different way. Washed it off in two minutes and still the sick metallic pencil lead smell stained my wrist!

I have looked for years for "the one" ~ I had finally decided that all the qualities I want in a fragrance don't exist in one perfume. I want fresh but not citrusy, sweet but not sticky, floral but not perfumey, yummy but not gourmand, and all of this with good longevity. Hard to find, for sure. I have never really been a white floral girl, so this was a surprise. Beyond Love IS all of the things I want in a fragrance and it LASTS! Tuberose tempered with a "yummy" coconut background.....so nice!

So I just got a sample of this from the official boutique and let me just tell you, I literally stopped for a second and had to smell my wrist again. White florals are a FAVORITE for me and this is complete heaven I’d you enjoy white florals, tuberose, and coconut. The coconut isn’t super super strong but is a nice secondary note that balances it all out. I definitely do smell it, and it just adds this nice tropical creaminess to it. This is a must have for me, I need to find a bottle lmao.

Hawaii. You're coming off the plane, and as soon as you even step into that accordion door-hallway that leads to the gate, it hits you - the scent of paradise. The flowers of paradise, and the sun cream of paradise. You haven't even exited the airport, but you can already smell it...out of the blue appears some sort of imaginary nymph, garlanded with plumeria, beckoning you to gardens by the sea. Beyond Love is utterly beautiful, and it has captured the fragrance of the islands perfectly.

Matt Oldham - lighten up. No need to be rude. I was referencing my comment that it was smooth. not to be confused with your olfactory sensation. The last part was a joke. get over it. Edit - After a nearly a YEAR -- you came back and edited your dig and add nice a little message. YOU HAVE BEEN REPORTED for telling me what to do w/ Beyond Love. I am fully aware of how Nitrate poppers are used and now -- everyone else can read how you are telling off members of the forum.

Beyond Love was the first By Kilian fragrance I sampled, and I find myself returning to it again and again. The opening is rather loud: tuberose, green notes, coconut, jasmine. But it warms up nicely after the first hour, and the tuberose and coconut are what seem to linger for me. Less assertive than Carnal Flower (my fave) and other famous tuberose scents, it's wearable yet still satisfyingly complex. I'm planning to purchase the travel spray soon!

i love it ! what a beautiful tuberose, soft and kind but strong, i will not say very strong , cause i have much stronger perfumes, it is just strong and above all it is not obnoxious at all, but it still on the skin long time without ever killing everybody around ! lol the most important thing i think it is that it is a very natural scent, the same that the flower fresh and healthy, i love it cause it doesnt smell synthethic at all !!

Oh my, I love this one soooo much!! Why does it have to be so pricey? I have to contend myself with Travel Sprays and refills... It's a bubblegum Tuberose, at least on my skin. It does have a nice green aspect to it, that makes it really wearable. I would say this is the fragrance that made me "get" tuberose and I've been collecting them ever since. It's the gateway tuberose (this and the Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia) hahaha

This is surprisingly summery yet a gorgeous thick tuberose. I love green notes and while they are a bit rarer in fragrances I really enjoy them when they come out to play. The tuberose and jasmine in here are sweet and heady, almost makes me think of a monoi vibe. The coconut addition is genius and I'm so glad its in here. I get something beachy about these flowers. Extremely long lasting so I would say worth the hefty price.

Warning: not for the weak-hearted. This perfume wears you. It's heady, long-lasting, heavy sillage, and not at subtle. It's an intense and gorgeous mix of tuberose, musk, and coconut. I wear it year-round, but it's especially wonderful in summer (though application should be lightened a little if your summers are humid!). Very very sexy.
