Adults

Adults, inspired by Kilian Paris Let's Settle This Argument Like Adults, In The Bedroom, Naked (2018)

Bergamot and lemon give a quick citrus lift before fig nectar takes over, milky and green at once. Hedione adds a diffuse, jasmine-like airiness. The base pairs vanilla with sandalwood, cedar and amberwood, while orris and violet lend a powdery smoothness. It wears close and soft, like warm skin.

About the original

This fragrance came out in 2018 as part of Kilian's My Kind of Love collection, a more accessible line sold at Sephora. Kilian Hennessy described its fig-milk top note as feeling soft like skin, carried by cedarwood and vanilla. The line has been reported as discontinued, and the scent does not appear among the products on Kilian's homepage.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Kilian Paris stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Its quiet, intimate character makes it better for close encounters than for crowded rooms. Fans of fig scents that lean creamy rather than leafy will enjoy it. Orris powder and vanilla give the base a gentle sweetness.
