In the City of Sin, a Warm Plum Rose

By Kilian In the City of Sin is a warm plum rose scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot, pink pepper, and red berries before a plum, rose, and incense heart settles over patchouli, cedar, and amber.

The Story Behind the Scent

By Kilian built In the City of Sin as a bold, seductive scent, all juicy plum and rich rose over smoky incense. The idea was a dark, sensual glamour.

That warm richness is its appeal. The bergamot and red berries give it a bright lift, the plum and rose make it rich and fruity, and the patchouli and incense give it a smoky depth. Our interpretation follows that same sensual path.
