Killing Me Slowly

Extremely nice and for me very addictive. Maybe it will pass, but I really searching for something like this perfume, because i wanna use it for years) Actually, a had 3-4 testers of this, and when i tried first (i was pregnant) - i really didn't understand the accord. But now throught years I found the last tester (all other I just gifted ahaha) and really fall in love. I understand that Killing has some animalistic hint, but i really like it on my body. And its sooo long lasting! And yes, if smbd has original bottle - let me know)) I found some on sites, but I think it's not original.

it smells so nice, people always ask what perfume it is, i purchased it at gum moscow, wish i could get it online :(

Really nice, tender cloud surrounds after spraying this. I love it! Need to go with your skin though.

Super super sweet and yummy, like candy hearts - I even get a whiff of Parma Violets?? Quite soapy as others have said, but in a very soft fresh way rather than that awful harsh waiting-room way. The fruitiness makes this scent feel young and bubbly so the powdery accord can't take it into granny territory. The kind of scent that brightens up a room, absolutely delicious little spritz for a spring or summer day.

Among a bunch of blotters (niche and luxe) my dad chose Killing me slowly saying it is the only worthy fragrance: high-end and exquisite and it smells of some fruit.

Way overpriced and simply for Kilian. It smells like a regut perfumed soap to me. So it’s a pass.

Fragrance Review For Killing Me Softly Kilian Top Notes Aldehydes Currant Litchi Buchu Agathosma Middle Notes Rose Heliotrope Hawthorn Base Notes Iris Vanilla The bottle! Nothing like it in most American fragrances. This was an exclusive fragrance that sold in Moscow. My Russian girlfriend Marina, a model, has this fragrance and it smells so beautiful on her. It's a sweet fruity floral aldehyde with a modern slant for a floral aldehyde. It's very pretty. While I was in Moscow and St. Petersburg during a Russian Fashion Week (which is now becoming more common every year) I bought this perfume. It was expensive. Kilian is the most preferred fragrance line among the Russian perfumistas. I don't know why that is. The bottle is a work of art and I do like to collect perfume bottles as if they were objets d'art. However the fragrance is much lighter and less complex than the artsy bottle. This is fragrance based on powder. The notes in it become powdery as it wears on your skin: rose, heliotrope, iris and vanilla. The whole thing is a boudoir perfume of powder. I do like those type of scents however. Delicate, floral, and easy on the nose. It's like a little nightie and of course I'm wearing this with lingerie. The first spritz is a modern aldehyde which only means that it's not a blast, it's not heavy. It is a good intro to aldehydes. It's fresh and bubbly. When these aldehydes join the currant note, it's a champagne or wine made of cassis. It's a delicious currant and it has a fruited flavor with that sweet litchi to provide it with sweeter scents. The heart is floral with rose and heliotrope, beautiful powdered roses and heliotrope flowers. Heliotrope is my favorite flower so I'm always going to love a heliotrope note in perfume. The one thing that I don't get about this perfume is the agathosma or buchu. It is supposed to be herbal and green, like galbanum or perhaps a bit like patchouli and it would have been far more fascinating to me if this scent went into the "green" direction and had a bigger dose of this stuff. But alas no. It is a note that I have experienced once before in La Belle Otero. It's very much like green herbal shampoo made up of real extracts of this stuff. But it would have killed the powder in this scent. Killing Me Softly is just like it's moniker. It's not slaying you or stabbing you with aldehydes and flowers. It's soft and subtle, it's killing you softly - with powder. Very pretty girly and soft and so comfortable like scented lingerie to induce sweet dreams.

I've made at least 5 approaches to this perfume at different seasons, different states of mind, well, in totally different circumstances. I had that feeling that there was something special about it that I wouldn't get. I thought: there must be more to it. But no way. It opens with a sour greeny note that reminds of vinegar and... silage feed for cattle. Is it buchu + aldehydes that make this weird effect? This lasts at least for one whole hour. To be honest: it stinks to the point that even the shop assistants get despaired. At the moment when I finally lose my patience and get up to wipe it away from my wrist - opppa! - it's already the base there: iris and vanilla. Well, the base is quite nice but would it be reasonable to wait every time for one hour or more to get some iris and vanilla? I don't think so... I don't get any rose, any hawtorn, any litchi at all. Are they all eaten up by the creepy buchu (does anyone have a notion how it smells in reality?). No heart notes whatsoever. After that horror of the first hour the rest stays on the skin forever. I've put hand lotion all over my hands; after a while it reappeared with a matter-of-fact face; then I took a shower... it emerged again. I went to bed again applying hand cream. When I woke up - no cream smell, but still that bloody iris/vanilla base. Definitely surprising will of the perfume to stay with me. I give up.

It is so so beautiful, that I went on to try and get it seven times, on all attempts I got fake copies of this beauty. I desperately ask if anyone here doesn't like it, and surely has an authentic bottle I will be so so grateful to buy it. Also I have about half of Some Like it Hot full, if anyone wants to trade somehow instead. It smells like fresh roses with a hint of some dry scent of black currant. It really is beautiful, and at times even something in it reminds me of the Chanel 5, not that they are similar, but something. Maybe just those aldehydic notes.

Tried blind and I got mostly musk, soapiness, aldehydes (but not the old school kind) very clean smelling and classy but also a touch powdery boudoir. Not really something for my tastes but it is quite well blended and expensive smelling. I'm not really getting the fruits. A bit more so on the drydown. But mostly a musky, floral soapy clean scent to me. I can see why this could be really addictive though to anyone who loves the classy soapy scent it is highly refined.

It begins classy by the aldehydes, gets funny and fruity by the blackcurrant, softens very much by the musk and heliotrope notes. Great wearing, very elegant towards the heart. Patchouli undercovers the whole basis playing a peripheral role to the synthesis. This perfume has a Parisian restless soul of a woman feeling young at heart and always enjoys life as it is!

this one is unfortunately all top with little mid and no base. it comes across as quite nice and a sweet, but it doesn't develop nearly enough. it will suit a a younger crowd, possibly female, but in saying that they may find this too sweet for their tastes also. nice enough, don't get me wrong, just not 'massive'...

Am I the only one who thinks the bottle is a rip-off of My Queen by Alexander McQueen?

It smells like an expensive shampoo. That's all.

Beautiful powdery perfume!!! Very long lasting
