Rolling in Love

First off, Fragrances are subjective and what you like the next person will despise. With that being said let’s talk about one of my favorites “Rolling in love”. The first time I ever smelled this was when I ordered my very first Kilian fragrance “LDBS” and Rolling in love was a sample. I used that sample up so quickly and told my husband that next year when we got our taxes I was getting a full bottle. He agreed because he really likes it as well on me. To be point blank, Rolling in love smells exactly like the name. This fragrance smells like two bodies hot and heavy rolling in the sheets. The muskiness along with that creamy almond seed is killer! I bought my bottle brand new from Sephora, and I have zero clue how people can hardly smell it. Maybe yall got a dud because mine is a beast! I’ve let her macerate for about 5 months now, and as soon as I take the top off I immediately smell it before I even spray it. That’s how strong she has become and I adore her! I spray behind my neck, both wrists, behind ears, behind knees and ankles and she literally lasts all damn day! I also like to spray in my cleavage when me and husband are due for sexy time lol because Rolling in love is definitely a sexy time fragrance. Rolling in love IS a skin scent, but she stays. The opening is straight ambrette and almond, then once it starts to dry down you get the beautiful iris and freesia, which is probably my favorite part. Yes I do agree this can be overwhelming at times if you spray too much, but if you just spray the 4 to 5 sprays the scent trail lasts all day long and doesn’t get cloying. This fragrance is sexy as hell. I seen someone compare it to Jergens cherry almond lotion, and although I can see the resemblance, Rolling in love is special. I get at LEAST 7 hours on my clothes and skin. My husband adores it on me, and my husband tells me like it is. While I wouldn’t say this is blind but worthy, you gotta have a certain taste to appreciate the beauty of this juice. She is potent! That is why you don’t overdue it. 4 to 5 sprays is good enough, and when the heat on your skin starts to warm it up, it’s literally intoxicating. Who cares that this fragrance isn’t “complex”? I still haven’t come across a dupe that comes anywhere close to this. This is a feminine fragrance to me. I couldn’t see my husband wearing this, or any man for that matter. This is a female fragrance for sexy time and date night. I wear it in the middle of summer I do not care, and I never get told I stink. It’s beautiful. Like sex in a bottle. Rolling in the sheets is what it should be called lol.

The first time I smelled Rolling in Love, my first thought was that iris and almond were the life of this party. I thought it was very powdery and didn’t think it was my style but felt like it would grow on me because I still liked it. A year later in May, it grew on me. My skin just transforms this fragrance. It’s more creamy and musky now with almond milk and peachy undertones. A tame tuberose mixed with other florals and vanilla. There is a freshness, that makes this wearable in warmer weather like spring and early fall. I sometimes get away with it in summer especially with the tuberose that reminds me of a calmer version of the one in the beachy Le Labo Lys 41. The coziness makes it perfect for fall and sometimes winter. It satisfies the fresh milkiness I got in MM Coffee Break without sharp soapy lavender at times. Also satisfies the prominent almond I got in the sweeter, creamier JM Scarlet Poppy which was not an all-year round scent. I’m also not sure if I’m going crazy but I smell jasmine in here, which made me uninterested in buying a Valentino DBIR Intense travel after selling the full bottle. To clarify, I don’t think these smell similar. The point I’m trying to make is Rolling in Love fits many sleeves and satisfies many cravings in one juice, making it a good signature for me. It helps that it surprisingly wears beautifully in hot humid weather. Although it’s something I won’t crave all the time in the summer time or really cold winter, it’s a good all-year-round scent for the most part. Update: The more I smell a side-by-side of Aerin Amber Musk that I first tested in Jul2023 years after testing Rolling in Love that I bought May2023, the more I realize similarities. Except RIL has a powdery musk, not an oily musk which I prefer more. RIL also projects more in the opening but Aerin lasts a little longer and warms up, projecting more on the skin with time. Both last on clothes though. Conflicted because that means I don’t need both long-term, so I may not repurchase when one finishes. It’ll probably be RIL because of the longevity on skin. Also because I can just buy the refillable and refill my travel size. The empty bottle when I’m finished will go to my sister after I refill it for her. She really likes this scent and it fits her. It’s funny how that happens, when two fragrances smell somewhat similar with different note breakdowns. Probably why I love them both.

The divine amalgamation of almond milk, iris, and tuberose emanates a sensual and enveloping aura, making it my unwavering signature scent. However, it has come to my attention that there is a circulating claim comparing Rolling in Love to Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl. This parallel is a bewildering misconception, as the two perfumes are worlds apart in terms of complexity, richness, and overall olfactive experience. Good Girl, while appealing to some, is a stark contrast to the intricate artistry present in By Kilian's masterpiece, and may be viewed as a simpler, more commercially driven fragrance. My boyfriend, with his discerning nose, has never mistaken this luxurious scent for any other. He recognizes the unique character of Rolling in Love, acknowledging its individuality behind it. The depth and the sillage of Rolling in Love are unmatched. Only in matters of longevity, it wavers. While Good Girl might share a distant olfactive relative with Rolling in Love, it is by no means a comparable experience. By Kilian’s Rolling in Love is undeniably a fragrance in a league of its own, and it continues to be the olfactive signature that represents my essence and my love for the exquisite, serving as both a luxurious indulgence and a soothing remedy. To me, Rolling in Love is more than just a wonderful scent; it's like a calming remedy. When I put it on, it feels like my whole body just relaxes and pacifies my mind.

My signature ❥ I've been looking for a signature fragrance for a long time and this is why I chose this one. I would describe this scent as bitter almond and dusty vanilla woven together so perfectly by threads of iris and other floral notes. I love the little raspberry note as well because it gives some sort of a juicy depth to an already complex powdery fragrance which, paradoxically, works perfectly. Longevity and sillage are amazing on me as well. I imagine a beautiful woman's evening routine; putting on vanilla and almond milk body cream, getting in bed with clean flowery smelling sheets. Eating raspberries, reading an old book in a vintage hotel room decorated with red velvet chairs and gold-coloured picture frames. I feel like this would be worn by a woman that is completely put together, confident, and probably has ex boyfriends dwelling over losing a woman like her. :^) Insanely feminine, not unisex in my opinion. It's classy, elegant, romantic, rich, vintage, unique, haunting and completely enchanting. Sultry and seductive but in a calm way, somehow quietly alluring; not in your face, but most certainly noticeable. Composed, attractive and sexy. I can't compliment this enough, I hope all of you get the chance to experience it and enjoy it at least once.

Sometimes I don't need an uber-unique and innovative fragrance, sometimes I just want something that smells good, and I disagree with some comments below. While this isn't so complex or unique, it smells divine and to me, this smells expensive. There's a difference in niche perfumery, sometimes we pay for creativity and sometimes we pay for quality and here, this perfume smells like a fine fragrance that is mass appealing but created with attention to quality while creating dimensions and layers to a composition to create a very beautiful, harmonious product. That is what has been done with Rolling in Love. It's a beautiful almond, vanilla, and tonka perfume with a floral quality and every note plays so well with one another and complements the composition perfectly. The only notes I can truly pick out are the almond and tonka. It doesn't smell like tuberose, vanilla, freesia, or iris to me. That is a sign of a very well blended perfume created by an experienced perfumer. This is perfect for daily wear and can be worn year-round. I even think it's appropriate for summer. This can be worn to work, for evening, on date night, and would make a great signature scent. Love it. 10/10. Reminds me of Borea by Tiziana Terenzi.

The main reason I got this fragrance was the almond note ... but the reason I fell for it is because it smells so effortlessly sexy. Rolling in Love is soft, creamy, feminine, and intimate. It has this beautiful almondy sweetness that feels warm and sensual without being loud. It isn’t trying to overwhelm you. It feels more like a private little indulgence, something soft, sensual, and close to the skin. Yes, the longevity could be better, especially considering the price point. But I’ve come to realize that not every expensive fragrance needs to be beast mode. Some perfumes are meant to be softer, more personal, and more subtle. This one’s job is to feel sexy, delicate, and addictive as it melts into you, and in that sense, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. For me, Rolling in Love is a skin scent in the best way: soft, feminine, cozy, and still very alluring. If you want something bold and powerful from Kilian, Angels’ Share would be a better choice, and that one is another favorite of mine. But Rolling in Love has its own kind of beauty. I adore it. It was my second Kilian perfume, and even with its softer performance, I still find it completely worth loving. ✨

Soft skin bathed in candlelight. A whisper, warm and lingering. Rolling In Love is the hush between heartbeats, the closeness of lips before they meet, the scent of bare intimacy wrapped in silk and gold. Almond, smooth and creamy, like warm milk kissed by sunlight, flows in with tenderness. A tenderness that clings, never sharp, never fleeting. It melts into floral iris, powdery and pale, its softness unfurling like lace slipping off a shoulder. A quiet luxury, not one of extravagant goods or obnoxious flaunts, neither demanding nor timid, just present. Unyielding presence in love. Then, the narcotic rush of rolling. Tuberose, full and glowing, its petals thick with longing. It doesn’t scream; it hums, deep and low, threading itself into the skin, into the pulse. Musk—pure, almost translucent—clings like the memory of fingertips tracing a spine. And even more prominently—vanilla, hushed but rich. Sweetness without weight, like the warmth of a lover’s breath on your neck. A final whisper, a secret, a promise that lingers long even after the teasing click of the door.

My signature scent.. I have taken so long to write a review for this because I don’t really have the words to describe this.. this is beautiful, romantic, sexy, elegant and a little risqué at the same time. Smells like kissing someone you’ve wanted to for a long long time, somehow smells skin like as well mouth-wateringly lactonic and creamy at the same time. Greatly invokes its name, this is the scent of tousling around in a plush white bed with your lover. My favourite ever scent, my favourite flower is tuberose and it’s so beautiful here, the base notes are just perfect ❤️ it’s just made up of all my favourite components and notes in perfumery. Only downside is it’s an arm and a leg and there’s nothing else out there like this, the closest I’ve found is Jo Malone Scarlett Poppy and while beautiful in its own way does not compare. Longevity is amazing, lasts all day on skin and clothes but can get sour if over sprayed, you don’t need much of this. Projection is the perfect cuddly intimate bubble ~ Very underrated Killian, not a safe blind buy.

When I first tried this I had a 5ml decant, which I tried once then sat on for two years. One day I saw a YouTuber whose favourite perfume it is taking about it so passionately I went back to try again. Well, perhaps my tastes have refined since the first time, because I was blown away. I now have a bottle and it's my current favourite perfume. Much more than the notes would suggest, it already groups together some of my favourite things: iris, ambrette, non-screechy musks, tuberose... but it's so much more. It's so achingly beautiful, and seems to adapt to my skin perfectly, bringing out the complexities rather than the sweetness. I'm now obsessed with this in a muggy, rainy Paris springtime. I do understand why people don't get it, because I didn't. But don't judge it until you've really given it a chance. Oh, also, for me the performance is stellar, I don't know what people are on about when they say it's a skin scent or it disappears quickly. It's true that it isn't shouty, but it is quite easy to overspray, so that should mean something.

Almond Milk + a light Tuberose Floral + Ambrette (Musk Mallow) that gives it a musky-spicy-buttery scent + Green Leaf + a touch of Vanilla Candle + a hint of almost undetectable powdery Iris + sweetness from Tonka Bean + a hint of Cherry + addicting Barley + and maybe a hint of Poppy Floral? This is inspired by Xerjoff 'Italica', and Jo Malone then copied Rolling in Love with their 'Scarlet Poppy' fragrance. Picture both of those frags had a baby and that's what you get with 'Rolling in Love' dna. The Iris plays a supporting role to add an additional layer to the dna, and not really meant for appreciating the individual note. This is the rare case i prefer Jo Malone's 'Scarlet Poppy' over a Killian. Scarlet is lighter for Spring season and hotter day use, more delicious & addicting Barley, more green refreshing, more Vanilla, more delicious Butter Cookie - AND you get double the amount of juice AND it's cheaper! Rolling in Love's star note that you don't find within the other 2 fragrances mentioned, is that delicious Almond Milk. 4/5 Woofs

I need this so bad. This is absolutely stunning - it opens with a strong, milky, almost amaretto-like almond, and remains nutty as it dries down and develops on the skin. The more it develops, the more tonka/ vanilla/ iris comes out. This is absolutely perfect for daily wear, the office, a date night etc etc etc. It isn't anything crazily unique, but it is very very well blended and I would say is suitable year-round at any time of day and is sweet without being overpowering. It's creamy and definitely gourmand - smells like sitting in a flower garden eating an almond croissant. The bottle is beautiful and very romantic, and just feels luxurious to hold. This WILL project massively, so perhaps don't overspray if it's for the office, and it lasts and lasts on clothes, on a tester strip and on skin. Pro-tip - layer with the Body Shop almond milk and honey collection for a beautiful lactonic sticky-sweet and floral combination. This is honestly one of the best perfumes I have smelled in forever.

She is powerfull ! She's in my collection and she's intense, only for special occasions. A weapon to be used wisely. Seductive ad poetic, cinematic and luxurious , dark and mythic. She's fierceless, she knows exactly what she wants, and she gets it 100% success rate. This Kilian is dangerous visceral beauty, of woman who is also a panther or tiger, yet moves seducing the air around her. Feline grace and danger, she prowls, silk over fire, you just have to surrender. It's a slow intoxication, the embodiment of temptation , she's a predatory magnetic storm ! Goddess of carnal fire, defenetely a creature of the night. Her confidence must be absolute, to love her is to risk being devoured. This fragrance is not for the weak of heart ( or nose ), she's the main character and she's predominant, like a slow burn in satin skin. Rolling in Love IS DESIRE DISTILLED : FIERCE AND MAGNETIC. Wear with caution , sillage and projection are monstrous ( in a very good way ) !

A love of mine that has followed me for many years. Not pure white or striking red. More ivory and cream. My obsession and fascination for scents started right here. Where this scent is, I picture billowing curtains, the sky right before sunset, and soft linen beneath my skin. Somewhere warm and oceanic, an escape for just my lover and I. There is a gummy, innocent aspect of purple and yellow little flowers laid on top of almond cream. The initial whiff of sweetness is rounded by the lactonic musk and powder at the base of this beauty. For the longest time, I wore this scent exclusively after dark, to bed or on dates. There is a distinctively sexy and powerful touch to a perfume this upfront. Over the years, I still admire the bright red glass of the bottle, but I can’t help thinking the color is too beguiling for the sweetness and gentleness. It sits on my nightstand, easy to reach when I roll over in bed and wish to smell like almond milk and dreams.

I bought a split of this because I'm downright addicted to almond scents. When I first spray this on I get a quite synthetic almond mixed with tart fruit and blossoming peonies. The tart red fruits and peonies stay on for about an hour before this perfume settles into a very lactonic almond scent with hints of caramel and tonka. It reminds me so strongly of another scent and I can't remember which until I realise why I recognize it so much is beause it's the exact same as Van Cleef Arples Bois d'amande. They do have a similar profile of almond and musk but when both settle down I honestly cannot smell the difference. Although I love it I won't be adding it to my permanent collection since I can easily mix Bois d'amande with any flower/fruit scent to achieve rolling in love. It his however a highly narcotic perfume that I can't stop sniffing. It's cosy and I can see it working for both male and female while the opening is definetly more feminine.

Forgot if I ever left a review but I love this so much. Love wearing it to sleep, love waking up and smelling the dry down. Dry down smells like heaven-- a soft, comforting, somewhat powdery vanilla and soft fruity heaven. The opening is a bit migraine-inducing (at least for me, as someone who is VERY migraine/headache-prone), but that's only if you use more than one spray. Literally one spray is enough to last you for 6+ hours unless you're out sweating a lot. On my skin, I really only smell a musky raspberry initially, but it's not a cloying sweet fruity smell; it's a very mature and serene near-gourmand smell. Despite literally being heaven in a bottle, it's not my signature because it doesn't really match how I present myself visually. Sillage isn't great to my knowledge, but longevity is pretty good if you spray on your hair (fresh after blow-drying after the shower) or on fresh clothes.

After hours of searching, I decided on this for my wedding day scent, as I felt it captured the feeling of my wedding perfectly - an October wedding in a library in a castle in Scotland. I do wish the longevity were better, but I find that if I spray it on my clothes, it lasts a few days. And while I personally felt the longevity and sillage leave a little room to be desired, one of my friends said she could smell it on me all day, so perhaps I just became nose blind. Besides, sometimes, I want a perfume that's sexy and romantic while also being a little more subtle and skin scenty. It's definitely a skin scent, and it's oh, so sexy. The almond isn't too overpowering to me, and I was relieved to find that it didn't settle too powdery on my skin. It's sexy and intoxicating and romantic. A very underrated By Killian perfume.

I was really looking forward to sampling this one! At first spray the almond creaminess is there along with a sweetness, but there is a surprising little bit of a spicy note that kind of reminds me of a fresh salsa (as weird as that sounds) but it is really nice and adds an edge to it! It has some florals as well like the iris that sticks out and there is an obvious musk to it. It’s a soft lovely floral sweet scent with a tiny edge that is very wearable! The projection isn’t as strong as I thought so it’s more intimate and perfect for “rolling in love”. It’s not as sweet as other Kilian scents and leans more white floral. As of now I am even considering having this be my wedding day scent, you can have the option to engrave a full size bottle and I think I may for that day. ☺️💕

rolling in love is a silky sweet creamy almond frag; there's a girlishly pert quality to it. the specific image that comes to mind with this is of glossy pouty lips wrapped around a bottle of my favourite vanilla almond milk. the kind of smooth sipping experience that leaves behind an addictive silky mouthfeel. if i had to pick a way i'd organically smell it would be this frag 100%. it's a scent that will last you till the next day but admittedly it does perform averagely in terms of projection. it's very much a skin scent in that sense. that con aside - i have definitely found my new favourite 'safe' perfume and i will probably spend many years to come trying to convince people when i wear this that this is just my natural body odour lol.

The opening is a bit strong for me, so I don't like it much. But when the top note fades away, the middle and base notes make me fall in love. The scent is very soft and delicious. I often wear this scent on dates with my boyfriend, when he hugs me, the scent is quite pleasant, not too strong for him. But he is not a perfume connoisseur, so for him this scent is just fragrant but not impressive 😅😒 After the date with my boyfriend, I went back to my room to get ready for bed, the base note was extremely fragrant, the smell was so delicious that it made me want to "eat" myself 🤣 For me this scent is quite perfect, but I wish the scent could spread further so that people around me could smell this special scent 🥰

I said I would never buy a Killian fragrance. The bottle too plain, the pricetag ridiculous, the hype too much. So then I selected a few things in the discovery set and tried them out. Well, they are pretty nice. And then.... I saw some on Costco.com. For an extra $45 off. So I ordered Rolling in Love. Who even knew that Costco sells nice fragrance!? I put it on and it was Love. So very much. The bottle is beautiful. The fragrance doesn't last too very long but I only reapplied once throughout the work day. It is divine. Creamy almond, tonka blended so that it does not offend me. I just love everything about it, except for the longevity, which I can live with.
