Woman in Gold by By Kilian was launched in 2017 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Calice Becker. This Chypre Floral fragrance opens with a bright citrus blend of bergamot, aldehydes, and mandarin orange, cutting through the air like a fresh breeze on a sunny day. The heart unfolds with rose and freesia, softened by marshmallow, creating an almost edible sweetness that is both floral and comforting. As it settles into its base notes of vanilla absolute, akigalawood, tonka bean, patchouli, and musk, the fragrance takes on a warm, enveloping quality, reminiscent of a cozy evening in an elegant parlor.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance with two light spritzes to allow its layers to unfold gradually. The bright top notes are fleeting but impactful, so it's best to let the warm base notes take center stage after about an hour.
