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.

FIRE, i cant gatekeep anymore, this is my number 1, it smells like a seductive mexican coke

So I do not own a bottle of Born to be Unforgettable but tried this on my wrist in Sephora and I would say it is so interesting and fresh definitely woke me up after work it is definitely unisex leaning masculine. The note I got the most immediately are the cola and lime but what smelt kinda a little like pine to me but guess that is the cedar mix with cola notes with the cinnamon in the back. lasted about an hour on my skin I genuinely loved this opening walking home on a cold winter night. It’s a nice scent if you like scents that change as you go but I will say In 2 - 3 hours it definitely gets screechy and tbh slightly cleaner ajacent but not all the way there and moves away further into masculine scent territory interestingly I did start to pick thay sweet note at the bottom when I snift my wrist. After that 3 hour mark it settles down and becomes less big and is more aligned what I feel people are referring to when they describe it as as root beer or doctor pepper-isque but it shouldn’t be confused with a gourmand. You can smell it on you as a skin scent 7+ hours latter so longevity is a 10/10 for me I would also rate sliage as moderate to enormous definitely you can smell this at arms length it is not shy. As someone in my early 20s who although is just a girl and still is more likely to go to more sweet overtly feminine and Gormand style scents but is also trying to dabble in more unique scents this was pleasant and I give the brand a lot of respect for doing something completely different and def want to see more of these types of experiments and the name is spot on it definitely is unforgettable but I debate if it really is worth full bottle price and considering the 2 - 3 hour mark gets so screechy . 110% do not blind buy as I could imagine this smelling WILDLY different on other skin types but interesting enough to try. Now something I need to Note when I tested this scent also smelt and tested this with Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar by Kayali and was surprised how enjoyable I found these together they gave such a thrilling intoxicating combination genuinely reminded me of an edgy hot pink. Girly and bratty and defiant and naughty. Reminds me of playing hard to get and is allusively sexy. I genuinely am considering getting both due to how well they merge together and may get two travel size to try for a week. To be honest I did not think I wood like Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar by Kayali just do to the manshmellow, bubblegum, and jellybean notes to be honest. As a proud hater of Love Don’t be shy and princess by this Kilian (why I really wanted to love Born to be Unforgettable on its own more than I did) genuinely I did not think I would like it but it is so cute and slightly more complex like yes it is vanilla but it’s more fun than I would have initially expected. Vanilla pear sugary note is front and center for the outset and the flowers are more merged within 2 - 3 hours you get that tonka and woodsy profile where the veleter and sandlewood melt together these are followed behind by the ith the Patchouli in the back. This is what makes it better than normal vanilla scent to me. Thankfully I did not get any bubblegum or jellybean notes which irl smell sickly sweet to me. This scent doesn’t evolve much after that but I still enjoy it a lot. It stays at arms length projection up to 7 hours so to me silage and longevity are A+ in my book. Of these two scents I tried together I genuinely think Vanilla Candy Rock is more worth it if you were 1 as it is good on its own but also I could imagine it being really yummy layered with other frequencies. Honestly I would say a much say a safer blind buy if u absolutely had to. This is work friendly nice for a brunch and if you want to play sweet at a party. But def more of a day scent than a night scent. I feel this scent is good for winter and spring and imagine young and old people of all genders complimenting it

Born To Be Unforgettable by Kilian is the fragrance house's take on a cola fragrance. Honestly, I don't know how to describe this in-depth due to its complex structure of notes. Firstly the cola and lime notes at the start are amazing and are way better than other cola fragrances like Tonka Cola by Mancera and really smells like you just opened a can of Coke. But the dry down after an hour really puts me off as the combination of cinnamon and nutmeg weirdly ends up smelling like medicine and is very artificial so beware of this however after about 8-10 hours this disappears and returns to a nice cola smell again. To my knowledge, the price has massively dropped recently due to many people not liking this fragrance to the point where some Kilian stores don't even display this fragrance due to the negative reception this gets but for $130 this is an absolute steal and way better than Tonka Cola. (I can not confirm if this price is in every Kilian store around the world but I did purchase this in a Kilian store for its new retail price.) As with any Kilian fragrance, this has amazing longevity and can go for a full day if lucky, and on worst-performing days it still lasts around 12 hours even if you have to deal with a medicine scent for like 6 hours when using it. Unfortunately, this doesn't have a strong projection in comparison to other fragrances from Kilian but for its new retail price it is amazing and overall a good cheap alternative if you can't afford Angel's Share and still want a Kilian fragrance.

I don’t own a full bottle of Born to Be Unforgettable, but when I tried it at Sephora, it really woke me up after work. I’d say it’s unisex, leaning masculine. The initial notes I detected were cola and lime, plus a subtle pine-like quality—probably the cedar mixing with cola and cinnamon. It lasted about an hour on my skin in its opening form, and I loved catching whiffs of it while walking home on a cold winter night. Mid to Drydown If you enjoy scents that transform, this does so around the 2–3 hour mark. It gets a bit screechy—kind of “cleaner-adjacent,” but not completely—and starts leaning more masculine. Interestingly, I also picked up a sweet note around then. Past the 3-hour mark, it mellows out and takes on a root beer/Dr. Pepper vibe, although it’s definitely not a gourmand. Longevity & Sillage For the first 3–4 hours, you’ll get moderate to even enormous sillage—at arm’s length or possibly more. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Still, I could detect it 7+ hours later on my wrist, so longevity is a solid 10/10 for me. Overall Thoughts As someone in my early 20s who typically goes for sweet, overtly feminine gourmand scents, I still found this fragrance intriguing and give props to the brand for creating something memorable. The name fits—it’s pretty unforgettable! However, I’m on the fence about buying a full bottle, especially because of that screechy phase in the 2–3 hour window. I definitely wouldn’t recommend a blind buy since it might behave very differently on others’ skin.

Such an unfortunate name. I'm actually enjoying this fragrance. But it isn't excalty an unforgettable fragrance. Whether the cola last for you will depend on your skin. Don't sample this on paper because the opening is great but as noted below many say the cola fades on skin within 20 min. Personally, the cola is still kicking almost 2 hours into this being in my skin. The lime does fade early on. It drys down to more vanilla cola with some woods and spices. It's actually quite nice. As noted this is far from linear and you will pick up on all the notes eventually. I really think the corny name is what's causing the hate. I'm very happy Killian didn't slap a $300 price tag on this. Weird time where a Killian fragrance retails less than the new Y Elixir and Burberry Hero. Very versatile, all seasons. Does come off more youthful and playful. Sample on skin. I overall like it.

Having experienced "Born to be Unforgettable" by Kilian firsthand, I can confidently say that it’s a remarkable cologne with its own unique charm. Although marketed as unisex, I found it leans more towards a masculine scent, making it particularly appealing if you favor fragrances with a bolder, more defined character. The longevity of this fragrance is decent, lasting about 3-6 hours, which is adequate for daily wear or a night out. It projects well within an arm's length, ensuring it's noticeable without being overpowering. While "Born to be Unforgettable" indeed lives up to its name by leaving a memorable impression, it's not a cologne I'd purchase again. It’s definitely good, but given my personal taste and the vast array of fragrances out there, I’m keen to explore different scents in my next fragrance adventure.

Be aware, this is not a linear cola scent from opening to drydown. I was really hyped for this release by Kilian. I wanted a cola scent anyways. The instant lime-cola opening blew me away. Unfortunatly yes, it do fades quickly but for me the cola note is still there but way-way in the back supporting the cedar, the nutmeg and the cinnamon making them sweeter. The drydown hours after fades into this sweet fresh vanilla coca cola with cinnamon and i love it. Not heavy on the nose, not overly sweet, and not generic or too linear but as i said. I wouldn't use it as a daily personally but suited for both cold and warm weather. The performance is average tho, solid 6-7 ish hours. It's worth the money if you know what you're getting. Very unisex imo. Definitely test and/or sample before buying.

While I think this is good, as a "cola" fragrance I think there are better options. Mancera's tonka cola has a much more realistic cola scent to me that's present during the entire development whereas on this one the cola comes in and out and it smells like a nice slightly spicy lime fragrance most of the time. The advantage here is that this one is a little more "fresh/clean" compared to tonka cola which makes it a bit more wearable year-round imo. Performance is about what you would expect if you've tried other Kilian fragrances - about 6 to 7 hours on skin and moderate sillage. Apparently Alexandria Fragrances just came out with "coke-zero" which people say smells similar but has a little better performance. I'm planning to check that one out soon.

Cola scents are pretty novel to me, I've never actually worn any before. Even as a novice to this category, I can tell right away how realistic this smells, and I agree with everyone who said the opening is the best part. The cola and lime is as realistic as it gets, and there's cinnamon mingling with it. After about 15m, it's more woody, but I hesitate to call it "basic." Much later, it seems like the vanilla and cinnamon come out on top, which imo is interesting. For the $150 price tag, I do think this is worth the money if you like anything that's cola, cinnamon. I would not call it masculine, I think this is a truly unisex one, as most things are these days. Longevity is much better than the modern average.

The opening is great, like real cola and real lime! Nice! Then it moves into the nutmeggy cedar era, nicer, if anything. There's a lot of people saying 'Ladies, stay away, of course you don't like it, it's for us MEN' and women unhappy with the Man's Cologne type of vibe. I don't get much vanilla, but hey. I really like this. I wish the men would stop gatekeeping all the best stuff like leather and cedar and patchoulli and tobacco etc. I see you, gents, and I buy ALL your fragrances, you can't stop me. I like this a lot, but agree- not a blind buy

It opens with a fresh bright coca cola note. The cola fades pretty quickly, while the lime is staying a little longer. After that it is a mix where none of the notes is screaming for attention. If I didn’t know it was a Kilian fragrance.. I would say it is a midrange designer. Nothing really special. Fresh versatile fragrance I would wear in Spring probably. Not really unisex, definitely more male. Great for casual or office circumstances.

I think this would have sold and done better (especially with men) if they kept the original name "Bad boys are no good but good boys are no fun" or just "Boys". It’s lowkey a hot guy scent. The name sucks, but its so effing good edit: 12/05 this is constantly sold out at my local Sephora's. And there was even a wait to order online so screw my review ^ this perfume is doing just fine lol edit: 02/16 THIS WAS DISCONTINUED! :( AGAIN

I feel like I like this more than I should. It’s a really fun Coca Cola scent that leans a bit more masculine than I’d like, but when I wear it I keep getting Coke whiffs throughout the day that make me smile. The scent is fresh and effervescent and is a mood brightener that’s fun for all seasons. Today I layered it with Maison Alhambra’s Lovely Cherie (a TF Lost Cherry dupe) and smelled like Cherry Coke. Definitely a keeper!

Very unique scent. Not really anything I've personally smelled before. Opens up with bright fresh lime - with nutmeg that produces this coca cola smell. A tad spicy - but not overly. Unisex but leans more masculine, due to the woods and spices. Projection is solid - not great: Lasts fairly ok for a fragrance of this price, I recommend this!

(Sample from Surrender to Chance) I love this ironically. I love it in the way I love cringey comedy 00’s movies. I love it the way I love Will Ferrell. I love it the way I love millennials. I love it the way I love Stanley cups. I love it the way I love Napoleon Dynamite. I love it the way I love Aries men. 7.5/10

Oh, wow. Much more mature and masculine than you'd expect from a cola frag--the cola note (for better or worse, depending on your view) quickly gives way to cinnamon and cedarwood for a fresh, woodsy scent. I personally wish the top notes lingered more, but otherwise this is a strong like-to-love.

the most photorealistic coca-cola and lime scent ever, wow. my nose picks up a little bit of patchouli?? i cant really imagine a time where i would want to smell like coca-cola, but if thats your thing, this is perfect! it smells so good and could be worn all year round!

Bought this because I liked it and thought the smell reminded me of Coca Cola. Later I realized it actually reminds me a lot of dolce and gabanna light blue intense with only the Coca Cola note as the difference. Unfortunately I can’t say it lasted long on my skin.

Lovely year round scent for a man. I really enjoy the cola blast in the opening and wish it lasted a bit longer. The notes are very accurate. Dry down is a powdery, woodsy vanilla with a hint of spice (presumably, nutmeg).

Hmm... Not sure what Kilian was thinking with this one. Upon first spray - The cola and lime are quite prominent, but it is well blended with cinnamon and cedarwood - which gives it this strong, sweet & woody base that helps balance out its fresh top notes. I will say it does smell quite funky, but I'm placing my bets that this is due to the nutmeg (& cedarwood to a certain degree). Without it, I think this would definitely smell like a glass of cold cola with lime and cinnamon - making it a gourmand fragrance. (if it isn't already one) Could definitely see someone wearing it at a beach resort. Now I can see why people dislike this particular makeup of notes, the scent profile is definitely not to be desired for, but it's not something inherently "stinky" either. Something about this fragrances reminds me of generic blue fragrances turned niche. The dry down is decent, you can really tell when each of the notes are coming out, and the projection is surprisingly good, I can smell this on my constantly. Longevity wise I'd say a good 6 hours with this one. Since the drydown is strong it doesn't turn into a skin scent until around the 5 hour mark. Overall, would I recommend it? No, unless you religiously consume coca cola. Worth smelling though. 4.6/10

This fragrance should be called "Born to be Forgettable". This fragrance is quite possibly the most mid fragrance I have ever smelt. It opens up beautifully with an incredibly realistic coke note with that lime as well which smells absolute incredible, but after like 5 minutes it completely fades away and dries down to just an average designer smell. The best way I could describe the dry down is a less fresh version of Dolce & Gabana light blue intense. It is punchy and has maybe even a slight grapefruit smell that light blue has. The fragrance lasted for me about 5 hours with projection for maybe an hour and a half. I personally would not recommend the purchase because it is just super mid so for me personally 2.5/5.

wore this on one arm and the original (bad boys are no good but good boys have long fragrance names) on the other. perplexed why they even bothered to reformulate and rebrand it? the original has mediocre performance, so i would assume this is going to be much stronger, but both are weak in both projection and longevity. the only positive i can really give this one over the OG is that the notes feel more harmonious together, but it also comes at the price of a decidedly more masculine (when many reviews already complained that it was too masculine on the OG) scent. which is fine i guess, but loses any uniqueness the OG had, especially when the woodiness comes to the forefront. overall rating: 🩷🩷🩷🖤🖤 3/5

For the first 10 minutes upon spraying, I was in love. Straight up, beautiful, aromatic Coca-Cola, in a wonderfully botanical expression, not in a sweet or syrupy way. After this lovely, aromatic honeymoon phase is over, it transforms into a synthetic, cloying, bargain bin mess of a scent. Screechy, loud, almost sour on me. Very Rabbane-esque in the worst way. It’s such a shame because the top notes are so gorgeous and spot-on. Glad I didn’t impulse-buy.

The reviews are not fair with this one. It's a great great fragrance. I guess it has the rating it has because ladies here are rating it and not liking it but this is a men's cologne... It has a woody base and there's some ginger and other spiciness, so yes, men will vibe with this more than women. That's what you get when you're creating a men's fragrance and then market it as unisex, lol.

very strange opening of almost salty aquatic notes. smells more like cola when it dries down. honestly does not have a lot else going for it, other than the cola note. super average perfomance, ugly bottle, and very familiar smell. i dont really understand who this is for, or why killian released this, does nothing positive for an otherwise very good brand. miss

It's actually a pleasing scent, real coca-cola with some freshness and cinamoon, but the name is a miss. It fades quickly and it is quite forgettable. Someone said it smells more like designer scents - yes, but not in today's world. I would buy it for a designer price, by Kilian - happy I'll forget it. Edit: scrath this. Even my kid said "This is yuck!"

i really like the initial spray of this, it’s effervescent and cozy all at once. but — and this is likely an issue of skin chemistry — the dry down is insane and metallic-smelling on me, almost bloody, and not in a good way. i’d probably like it on someone else edit: i do like it on someone else. i gave it to my friend and it smells like heaven on her

Smells like coca cola for the first... 10 mins. Then on my skin it dries down to this weird herbal note that seems like a weird mix of lime and nutmeg. Loved it in store, returned later. I think it's a Sephora exclusive so keep in mind if trying to purchase

A gives a strong Coca-Cola whiskey vibe, yes with a slice of lime on the side. Just nice, but nothing outstanding for 2024. I guess Celine's nightclubbing and this unforgettable could work together to outline a typical night rave for someone

I was very disappointed at first when I got it, smelled like men's deodorant on my skin. However, give it a second chance, did smell a little bit of Coca-Cola note and cinnamon but overall still smelled typical men's deodorant.
