Killing Me Slowly

Killing Me Slowly, a Fruity Floral Chypre

Kilian Killing Me Slowly is a fruity floral chypre. Our version keeps that feel, opening with red currant and blood orange before a tuberose and jasmine heart settles over patchouli, musk, and vanilla.

The Story Behind the Scent

Kilian built Killing Me Slowly as a rich, fruity scent, all tart currant and juicy orange over creamy flowers and warm patchouli. The idea was a refined, sensual femininity.

That fruity warmth is its appeal. The red currant and blood orange keep it bright, the tuberose and jasmine add a creamy floral heart, and the patchouli and vanilla give it a warm depth. Our interpretation follows that same refined path.
