Born to be Unforgettable

I start off with some words about me, so you can classify my opinion on this: o I'm a total frag-head. o Favorite Perfume: Vintage La Nuit de L'Homme 2013 I own some very rare Cola-like perfumes like: o Escada - Magnetism for Men o Yves Saint Laurent M7 (Vintage, 4 Formula also 16 Formula Edition) o Jacques Zolty - Severo o A Sample of Enigma Cologne And when I bought "Bad Boys Are No Good But Good Boys Are No Fun" by Kilian, oh man,- was I amazed of it!! Besides Kilian's really outstanding presentation (Bottle Design, Packaging, etc.), the scent by itself is,- to my taste, a clear 10 / 10! Let me explain in detail. I do love Coca Cola. Not only the original, but also cherry coke, and especially Red Bull Natural Cola, which is a very natural but intense and sparkling Cola taste. Maybe too intense for some. Red Bull Cola, if you don't know it, is also called "Natural Cola", because it is made out of natural ingredients which are listed on the can, of course. ("The ingredients in The ORGANICS Simply Cola by Red Bull® are Water, Sugar, Caramel Sugar Syrup, Carbon Dioxide, Lemon Juice Concentrate as well as Natural Flavourings from Plant Extracts: Caffeine from Coffee Beans, Lemon, Ginger, Lime, Vanilla, Liquorice, Galangal, Cinnamon, Kola Nut, Cocoa, Orange, Cardamom, Mint, Pine, Mace and Clove.) And to me, it is more intense and effervescent than Coca Cola or Pepsi, because, it has a strong limette accent in the top notes for that fruity-fresh, sour and uplifting experience, which I adore. "Unforgettable" aka "Boys", is to me a Cola Scent, which emphasizes exactly this aspect of (Red Bull) Natural Cola. The fresh and edgy variant, which feels like you were in a club, and you've got Ice Cubes in the Coke, and a fresh slice of Lime swimming in it too. If feels super energetic, exciting, cool and sexy. I cannot emphasize enough, how much I love this perfume, and will FOR SURE get a bottle Unforgettable in my stash, as I really appreciate it as a special refreshing summer scent. Even tho I still have some of my Boys bottle juice left. Even tho I don't know yet, if Unforgettable is exactly the same as boys, or reformulated. Even tho it's a bit expensive. (To me the scent profile is unique, and its a high quality niche scent) I can see some people don't like the drydown so much, as they prefer, or at least expected a different attitude of Cola from this. (The smooth, edge-rounded, sweet side of it. -> Get Severo maybe) But trust me on this, the quality of Unforgettable is top-nodge, and if you like a fresh, sparkling, even popping kind of Cola,- you will really appreciate this stuff as much as I do! I feel the performance is for a fresh, summer / spring focused scent really good, the silage is more than enough, and the longevity brings you through the day too. If you like to extend longevity, just apply on hair / clothes additionally. Hope that helps some of you :) Cheers!

I had to make an account just so I could review this because I cannot believe the bad rep this scent has on here! By no means would i consider myself a fragrantista, knowledgeable about notes and blending or even gendering a scent. But this is one of the most beautiful scents I've ever smelled. The opening was harsh. Very citrusy with something else that I did not like. As a blind buy in every way from the official By Kilian site, in order to get $50+ spent, I didn't know what to expect. I do not like citrus notes. They always remind me of cleaning supplies. But the dry down is quick and phenomenal. Once that lime and cola scent fades, whats left is a very uplifting, almost soft, open and fresh scent. That's the only way i can describe it. It makes me feel happy and wanting to tale deep breaths. I am not sure I get woody with this one. Definitely a little spicy. As a woman, I also don't think it's masculine, but maybe I've never met a man into spicy woody scents. But I also do tend to like unisex-masculine leaning scents. I LOVE this scent. I am wrestling with the idea of keeping it for myself or passing it to my nephew or passing it to a female coworker whom I think would enjoy it. Because as much as I love it, I think I'd love it even more on someone else who is constantly walking in my space, leaving behind an addictive scent trail.

I randomly bought a 10 ml bottle of Born to be Unforgettable at Sephora a couple weeks ago, intending to give it to my special lady. I already had the small 7.5 ml bottles of Angels' Share (and also a sample of that) and 7.5 ml Apple Brandy on the Rocks, and I thought the name was fitting for my Katie Kat, since obviously she's unforgettable to me. But then I looked it up on here, and saw that Alberto Morillas designed it, and I had to keep it for myself! He's one of my favorite perfumers, with Quentin Bisch and Jacques Cavallier. I opened the box and smelled it, and it really does smell like Coca-Cola! I still like Angels' Share the most, as far as Kilian fragrances go, but this is really nice too. The other Alberto Morillas fragrances that I like so far are Bvlgari The Man in Black, Calvin Klein CK One, and Armani Acqua Di Gio.

Apparently, I'm in the minority, but I love this one. From the beginning, with the sharp, sweet cola/lime all the way through the drydown and lingering cedar and vanilla. I just keep sniffing myself. It does lean a smidge masculine after the sweetness fades, but I'm okay with that. (And it definitely does NOT have any oakmoss. I amp that like crazy, and got none of it here, even after hours of wearing it.). The downside is that I got a travel size during the Sephora sale, and now I'm sitting here on my cart page with a full bottle in there, and I'm wasting my morning trying to decide if I should just hit checkout or be responsible and give it a few more wear tests, just in case. This scent's good for me, and not so much for my budget. :D

Seems like I might be the only one but I REALLY enjoyed this. I'm surprised that Tonka Cola by Mancera isn't listed in the similar to section cause well, they're very similar cola scents but this one smashes Tonka Cola, it's way better imo. This fragrance has BITE. It's fizzy, it's spicy, it leans masculine and smells like you could drink it. Tonka Cola might be better if you want a more unisex cola but as a guy, I prefer this, hands-down. I don't get much lime btw but that's okay, the cedar in the base is a nice touch and makes sense. Very unique and fun. Fizzy, bright, sweet & spicy Coca Cola- right from the fountain. Layer with vanilla for a Coke Float vibe, maybe that'd help some ladies dust off some of the masculine edge in this.

Its sweet, its fizzy, and citrusy. In the opening you get strong blast of cola and lime, then when it starts to dry down it becomes a lil spicier adding in some of that nutmeg and cinnamon, and later you start to smell the cedar and vanilla mixed in with it. This is a perfect inoffensive unique fragrance that smells amazing and does not have too strong projection. It lasts around 10 hours for me and is good for every season. I do not know why it is label as unisex, this is a masculine fragrance and it is rated lower because girls come on here and say it smells too masculine then rate it bad.

Recently purchased summer scent that is masculine, as a Kilian scent goes this is reasonably priced with a decent arms length projection and longevity for a fresh fragrance. It opens with a prominent Lime note with Cola as an underlying aroma, the dry down is a woody, spicy concoction owning to the cedar which is sweetened slightly by the vanilla, the nutmeg and cinnamon give this fragrance a middle for which the base can project. An extremely masculine scent and definitely not for the ladies, and Is not a blind buy purchase, My local fragrance stores have now recently sold out so this is a big hit. This will be my signature summer scent for the foreseeable as it is versatile night and day summer scent.

I don't get why people trash it either, probably because it's excessively described as something that it's not - a fragrance that smells like cola or Haribo cola flavour or soda ( reason i bought it). It's nothing like that, I was so disappointed it doesn't smell like coke, and i drink that dark poison frequently. But I gave a few wears and I really enjoy it. It's fresh, heavy with nutmeg and woods, some citrus/lime in the opening, not sweet, you can wear it everywhere at any given season, it gets extra points for being a bit different than most freshies. And beacause of the scent profile you can pair it with many others. And it's my sold.

I like this, i’m surprised that an expensive perfume brand like Killian would make the cola note actually smell like cola without having it smell like caramel or heavy sickly sweet spice. Not bad. Although the cola doesn’t stick around for too long, maybe after 1-2 hours it’ll start smelling like every other expensive fragrance with a cedar note. It gets slightly medicinal after a while but not offensively medicinal. This is on the masculine side for sure, but I’d totally wear this on days where I’d like to be perceived as masculine, i’d love to smell this on a guy too, i think thats even more hot lol

I’m surprised by the negative reviews, I think this is fabulous. To me this is a very well-executed scent that uses a lot of darker, richer “wintery” accords, and yet the final result is a bright summery scent. I’m fascinated by it. I get molasses, winter spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, woods, but lime on top gives it a refreshing, sparkly twist. Very reminiscent of an ice cold coke and lime on a hot day. I think they hit the nail on the head, but apparently not everyone thinks so. Definitely not a blind buy.

it opens with sweet, fizzy lime-heavy coca-cola and dries down to a more woody, spicy coca-cola, though i still get that note all throughout the day. my boyfriend says he can't smell the coke at all and instead gets a floral scent; coupled with the controversial reviews, so i would rec sampling over a blind buy. i really like it, though, and the longevity is great! :) i got complimented on this my first day of wear

This is such an awesome fragrance with moderate performance and projection. It’s a nice mix of fresh, sweet and warm which makes it very versatile. I know it’s going to get a lot of hate for nonsensical reasons like the name and being a “repackaged boys,” but if you’re not a fragrance snob and can ignore those things, this is a great release at a reasonable price point

I had a travel size of this fragrance and I used it all the way up. It's one of my most complimented fragrances of all time. I could not get enough of this. I tend to only gravitate towards feminine-leaning scents, but this had a very unique cologne like scent which I strangely adored. The cola scent was mesmerizing and addictive. I need to buy myself some more.

Smelled her once in store and knew she had to be mine. Gorgeous Coca-Cola with a twist of lime, and a woody undertone. This smells like Americana. Like riding in a convertible wearing sunglasses and a scarf. Like the Fourth of July. Like your boyfriends’ cologne lingering on your collar.

This is cool. A masculine take on those chewy cola bottle candies. The lime isn’t super bright or effervescent to me, but it’s detectable. The warm spices and vanilla are there for sure, lifted by the cedar. It’s a fun masculine fragrance for spring and fall.

I don't understand the hate. This is a 5+ for me - Incredible, photorealistic cola and lime opening. Doesn't last as long as I would like, but i think unique even amongst cola fragrances. Smells way more expensive than its price point.

Banging cola notes. Warmed on my skin opens up as a men's cologne? Not sure if it's nutmeg or cedar comes to play. Cola disappears after about hour. Very pleasant unisex scent overall.

Really impressed, smelt it and immediately loved it. Strong cola scent and a great citrus from lime. Haven’t tested longevity but I can’t expect much, overall great fragrance.

i cant understand that this is getting hate. Its litterly one of the best fragrances i smellet. longevity 8,5/10 projection 7/10 Smell 9/10

Can't believe the rating this has. It's a beautiful cola and lime fragrance. The most accurate cola I've experienced.
