Let's Settle This Argument Like Adults, In The Bedroom, Naked

a dewy, green fig a creamy, milky sandalwood and a persistent powdery accord I'm fairly certain the notes of Adults don't say talking it out in the bedroom between the sheets to me, but they do communicate full bottle worthy quite clearly. I've had really good luck with the absurdly named Kilians and Adults is my favorite after Kissing. Adults opens with a green, dewy fig note right away for me, not the citrus opening I expected. I prefer my green notes without the sharp edges and it seems like the perfumer might as well, at least in this composition. The fig is green and dewy but also becomes milky. That slightly sweet creaminess, which is the vanilla, of course, continues to a lovely sandalwood and holds everything together just as you would imagine a well-behaved vanilla note doing. I enjoy everything about this composition, but it's the powdery fig laced accord that pushes it to love. I have no idea where the powder comes from in this fragrance, but it lasts for hours here. My only argument, adult or otherwise, is that this perfect for me fragrance doesn't last for days and the argument I would like to have with Kilian for its discontinuation :(

I’d definitely say it’s unisex. It’s a sweet (but not sickly) fig, spicy, bright, powdery vanilla scent that also has somewhat of a freshness to it. I purchased this fragrance today at Sephora on impulse as I was already wearing Mancera’s Aoud Vanille, and I sprayed this fragrance over top and they layered surprisingly well! I think because they both have oud/woody and gourmand vanilla notes. Side note: I’m obsessed with Mancera Aoud Vanille and I’ve been layering it with other woody/spicy/vanilla fragrances and whatever combination I create just seems to work! But saying that, I did really enjoy this Kilian fragrance on its own. Sillage is moderate. Projection moderate. (I felt a nice little scent cloud around me). And it lasted on my skin for around 4 hours before I reapplied (so not the best longevity), but I don’t mind re-spraying, Dislike the bottle and the name. However happy to have it in my collection. Definitely one to check out if you love fig, vanilla or gourmand frags. Overall I’m happy with this impulse buy.

Got to sample this at Sephora today..must say prob my fav. of the line..this is for the gourmand/ sweet scent lovers. I see it has a lot of notes I enjoy & new discovery for me I must enjoy Fig based scents..On me I get a fruity-vanillic powdery-ness.. very sexy & alluring, must add that & it makes no difference to me..even though this is marked for both (I mean it has a sort of masculine quality with the Woody/Cedar, I can really pick that up) I feel this leans slightly more to the feminine side tho..the whole line pretty much does IMO..I got a sample of it though & will deff do a full body test this weekend (will update later) must say to I sprayed this maybe 3 hours ago & it still smells just as strong as I first sprayed it. Love the bottle design too, its heavy & feels nice quality. Update: I wore this out last night, & it was instant love & hit with everyone..definitely splurging on a bottle soon. <3

Let me start by saying that i bought it, and that i love it. This one is highly skin sensitive and heat sensitive. You cannot go by another persons impressions. You have to try it on your skin. On me it is pure fig and vanilla heaven. Not entirely gourmand but leaning sweet. The wood is there but only provides support near the skin. Sillage has no wood at all. No pencil shaving here. It also morphs depending on heat. The warmer it is the more dominant the vanilla becomes. In 15 degrees celcius the fig and vanilla marries together beautifully in equal measures. Perfect for northern european autumn. To summarize an approachable easy to love scent. I wouldn't call it entirely unique, but you will smell differently than others around you, at least for now until popularity increases.

My first impression of this is that it’s too gourmand and basic, like a BBW lotion. A couple years later my second impression was very different. I fell in love hard and fast. I wouldn’t call it simple. I feel like it has the right amount of complexity to properly support and balance out the fig and vanilla. This is such a fun and brilliant take on cedar. If you like it but the sweetness is a bit of a turn off, try Hermes Cedre Sambac. It’s actually quite similar besides the sweetness. I’d be happy to pass along my sample for just the cost of shipping or work out a deal on a batch of different samples.
