The story behind the bottle.
Apple Brandy by By Kilian is a composition that captures the essence of autumnal indulgence, crafted in 2013 by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur. The fragrance opens with fresh apple and plum notes, enhanced by the sweetness of sugar and rum, creating an immediate sense of warmth and comfort. As it settles into its base, oak, wood barrel, and smoke lend a rich, woody depth, while vanilla, labdanum, Texas cedar, Chinese cedar, and ambroxan add layers of warmth and muskiness.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — it builds gradually over time. The top notes are fleeting but essential for capturing that initial burst of sweetness, while the woody base develops slowly, making it perfect for evening wear or cooler days.
