HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014 by By Kilian, Dangerously in Love is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance created by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur. The composition opens with cassia and ambrette, adding a touch of warmth and musky notes to the pear and Turkish rose heart. Virginia cedar, leather, oakmoss, and musk form a base that reads as earthy and sensual, creating a complex interplay between floral sweetness and woody depth. This fragrance is neither overtly feminine nor masculine but instead offers a unisex appeal, capturing the essence of a dangerous charm.
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points. The top notes are vibrant but short-lived, giving way to a rich base that develops over time. For optimal wear, apply an hour before your intended outing to allow the scent to fully settle on your skin.
