The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 and crafted by Calice Becker, I Never Make The Same Mistake Twice Unless They're Crazy Hot by By Kilian is a playful yet sophisticated fragrance that balances fruity sweetness with woody depth. It opens with the vibrant freshness of black currant and mandarin orange, punctuated by pink pepper for an unexpected kick of spice. As it evolves, rose and plum add layers of floral and fruity warmth, while vanilla and sandalwood create a cozy base that feels both intimate and enduring.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — it has a strong initial burst that can be overwhelming if used too heavily. The fruity top notes fade within an hour, but the warm vanilla base lingers close to skin for hours, making it perfect for intimate settings.
