Criminal of Love

I felt a bit sceptical about the Russia exclusive especially after the house of Kilian latest releases being in my opinion nothing but just poor ! I didnt found any favourites since Back to Black, Cruel Intentions , Liaisons Dangereuses and Incense Oud. I did loved the names of the In The Garden of Good & Evil ex Playing with The Devil or Good Girl gone Bad such a great names.. but the scents itself wasnt something i would run and purchase. After being curious about the Russian Exclusives and picked up my favourites on fragrantica in that order : Criminal.. , Dangerously.. , Kisses and Killing I got a chance to purchase samples from the amazing Simone. Once they arrived i went to sample all of them in that order i made on this site curious how do they meet my expectations ! I was surprised that the 3 first of them and in the same order meet exactly my expectations 100% ! Especially the Criminal which i own now is truly a unique masterpiece! It reminds me off Black Ebony by Bella Bellissima house! The scent opens with an amazing combo of incense, rose and papyrus. The opening is supported by cardamom and saffron in a short moment and followed with huge overdose of incense papyrus rose and some patchouli. The dry down its supported by a pinch of tobacco making this even better. Will update more later ...

I have got this bottle in 2015, and since 2016 I have been trying to find anything similar to this masterpiece. At first, the perfume was very striking, and I could not wear it in the office. But now the smell became a more intimate. The smell itself reminds me of my 20s with late dates in bars or talks over wine with girlfriends in the kitchen. Reminds me of Moscow cab cars, which smelled like smoke at the time. I truly regret not being able to replace it, as my bottle is getting low. My husband always asks me to wear it at home. Update Don't buy The Dua Singapore to replace this as I did after watching one YouTuber. It's nothing like COL and it's a terrible paint smell. Replica by OilPerfumery is much better attempt. But the best closest is Tear You Apart Fakoshima even it doesn’t have this beautiful floral accord.

This starts off with a rich dose of dark rose, patchouli, tobacco and incense.. On my skin, the tobacco stands out the most and stays the longest, which i enjoy a lot! It reminds me of Fumerie Turque with the sweetness of honey.. There's not much development of the scent, however, the staying power and projection are above average.. Easily one of my recent favorites, it's really blended well to perfection!

By and large my favorite rose of all time. The dry tobacco with the smoky rose... absolutely gorgeous- there are almost no words for me. The bottle is also to die for- a real marvel of packaging, to be honest (this type of decoration is NOT cheap- lasered black spray and metallized inside?? I can only think of Diesel BAD also doing this).

Hermoso, realmente buenísimo. Si quieres recibir elogios esta es la mejor fragancia, elegante, distintiva, dura muchísimo. Dentro de mi amplia colección está es la más elogiada. Cedro, limpio, sexy, diferente.
