About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Cruel Intentions by Kilian, launched in 2007, is a unisex oriental woody fragrance that balances floral brightness with dark, animalic depth. The top notes of rose, violet, bergamot, and African orange flower open with a powdery floralcy, while the heart introduces agarwood (oud), guaiac wood, and papyrus, adding smoky, woody, and slightly leathery facets. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, castoreum, vanille, styrax, and musk lingers with a creamy, resinous, and musky warmth, underscored by a subtle animalic tone. This composition suits collectors who appreciate complex, vintage-style orientals with a prominent oud and rose accord. It is ideal for evening wear or cooler months, appealing to those who enjoy fragrances that are both elegant and provocative. The interplay of powdery rose and rugged woods creates a scent that is unapologetically bold yet refined.
