About this fragrance

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

Gold Knight by Kilian, launched in 2017, is an Oriental Woody masculine composed by Pascal Gaurin. The pyramid opens with a sharp, aromatic blend of anise and bergamot; the heart continues with bergamot, creating a sustained citrus-aromatic core. The base is unlisted, but the fragrance's dominant accords—honey, sweet, anise, soft spicy, vanilla, and floral—suggest a warm, honeyed drydown with a gentle spiciness and a faint floral undertone. This is not a fresh or light composition; it leans sweet and rich, with anise providing a distinctive, almost liquorice-like edge. Collectors who appreciate gourmand-leaning orientals with a classic structure will find it compelling. It suits evening wear, cooler months, and formal or romantic occasions. Those who dislike sweetness or anise should sample first. As a discontinued Kilian release, it holds appeal for completists and those seeking a less common masculine from the house's portfolio.

中文簡介

Kilian Gold Knight(2017)由調香師 Pascal Gaurin 創作,屬東方木質男香。前調以八角與佛手柑開場,辛香中帶柑橘清亮;中調延續佛手柑,令香氣保持明亮。基調雖未公開,但主要香調顯示蜂蜜、甜、八角、柔和辛香、雲呢拿與花香,預示溫暖蜜甜、微辛而帶淡淡花香的收結。整體偏甜潤濃郁,八角賦予獨特甘草感,並非清新輕盈類型。適合晚間、秋冬及正式或浪漫場合,對象為喜愛美食調東方香、追求經典結構的用家。由於此香已停產,對Kilian收藏者或想尋找冷門男香的人別具吸引力。建議不愛甜或八角者先試香。
