The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 2 March 2022 14 Comments

I am not generally a Kilian fangirl, but I can see going through a 7.5 ml travel spray of Apple Brandy (originally launched in 2013 as a boutique exclusive for New York City), in fact I've almost bought it at least 10 times by now. We'll see if I end up owning it. $45 at Sephora.

    Well, $45 sounds like a reasonable sum for a treat. Next holiday? Next Sephora sale?

    I bought the Angel Share travel size and I am enjoying the apple pie vibe for the end of winter weather. Might need Apple Brandy too!

      I wonder if they layer?

    From the original review: “Do I need a bottle? Well, no. ” Love that :-)

      Ha…so true. But 7.5 ml is just hardly a bottle!

    This one is ‘Apple Brandy – on the rocks” – assume this has been tweaked from the original Apple Brandy to add an ‘on the rocks’ aquatic element (?)

      Ok, I thought the name was just to indicate it was in their “cocktail” collection. If it’s tweaked, no dice for me.

        Sephora lists ambroxan as a base note. I feel like that wasn’t in it before. Of course, I don’t really know.

          Frankly, more likely it was there before…

        Checked the Kilian website & they do say “ The fragrance returns, featuring the original apple brandy core but, this time, with an added uplift—KILIAN PARIS’s signature “on the rocks” accord blended into the opening for an ice-cold liquored delight ”. So definitely a tweak to the original, to add an aquatic/ice element.

    Love this one!! It’s the only apple fragrance I like/love. Waiting for 7.5ml to be available near me…
