The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Calice Becker, Some Like It Hot by By Kilian is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women and men. The composition opens with nutty and fruity accords that evoke the warmth of a tropical afternoon, while the heart of rose adds a touch of elegance. The woody base notes create a grounding effect, making it an intriguing blend of sweet and earthy tones.
Apply this fragrance sparingly as the fruity and nutty top notes are quite prominent. The woody base will gradually come through after about an hour, so one or two sprays should be enough to enjoy its full complexity throughout the day.
