The story behind the bottle.
Single Malt by By Kilian was launched in 2015 as part of the brand's commitment to crafting sophisticated, eco-luxe fragrances that evoke rich olfactory experiences. This composition opens with a burst of plum before transitioning into a heart of wheat, creating an unexpected juxtaposition between fruit and grain. The base notes of vanilla, tolu balsam, and cedar provide warmth and depth, grounding the fragrance in earthy tones while maintaining its sweet, powdery character.
Single Malt has a warm, close-to-skin presence, so applying it to pulse points ensures that its powdery and woody accords are most noticeable. A light spritz on your neck and wrists is sufficient for a comfortable, intimate scent experience.
