You're essentially paying top whack for the kitsch and superfluous packaging and presentation lock boxes. Whilst some of the scents are quite nice, they no way warrant their price tag. Much better fair to be had in the same ballpark. Which ones are you interested in, if any?Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

^Yeah, I live by the Killian store here in Meatpacking / Village and every time I walk by it I hate Killian even more for no reason except presentation and marketing alone... But of course some would argue that's what they're looking for. I mean, it is basically next door to the Christian Louboutin store so I'd say it's par for the course. Which leads me totally down a different path to living near the Chrome Hearts space which is HUGE and super flashy too, but in a much more well done way (even though I'm not a fan of CH since I don't wear jewelry or expensive bedazzling either, but the space is majestic). :)

I already did fall in love with Zarko's new 'Cloud collection', peachy/apricot-notes with some dark wooden notes. I love about Zarkoperfume that he's refusing to create perfumes based on the classic top/heart/base-concept and the 'cloud collection' is also beautiful to look at as the 'dilution' changes based on the weather, i.e. on rainy days it becomes cloudy, on sunny days it's clear. Before applying you'll need to shake the bottle, so the two ingrediends mix to a cloudy apricot-coloured one, a few moments later the two components slowly separate, reminds me a bit on the lavalamps. For sure it's pricey but every day it's a short moment of pleasure and joy to have a look at the flacon:
I usually spice all other perfumes up with the Zarko's "ménage á trois", a synthetic and so for pretty decent and smooth musk-note:
Menage A Trois ZARKOPERFUME ★ Eau de Parfum Spray ✔ Gratisproben ✔ Gratisversand in Deutschland ✔ Jetzt online bestellen ➽
And recently bought and still in love with Geza Schön's "Escentric 04', a sandalwood-a-like molecule called 'Javanol' with citric notes reminding me on fresh cut grapefruit:
Escentric 04 by Geza Schoen is a formula that lends a metallic, otherworldly sandalwood scent to its wearer. 100ml of Javanol's psychedelic freshness. Shop Escentric Molecules' Escentric 04 in 100ml now.
Also that one refuses to work like a classic perfume, i.e. no classic top/heart/base-notes.
Basically all of the mentioned can get layered very nicely.

I personally prefer the Extrait, as it's smoother and more refined. But ultimately if you like the "black" concept of Black, you'll love Black Tourmaline. You may also want to sample Naomi Goodsir- Bois d'Acese (https://www.luckyscent.com/product/5...-naomi-goodsir). They both do the dark, charred, smoke effect perfectly. Both have infinitely better longevity than Black too to boot.
I believe it's discontinued now unfortunately, but Tom Ford- Sahara Noir, was another you may enjoy.

I really enjoy Heeley - Vetiver Veritas, Profumum - Thundra and even Victrix though some like these for Spring, as well as Slumberhouse Norne and Zahd on occasion (I mean, these two are touch and go because Norne literally smells like crushed up Christmas trees and Zahd smells like cranberries so some might consider very literal)

Heeley's Vetiver Veritas is one of my favourites, and find it works quite well all year round. Never really been big on swapping perfumes per season - mostly change depending on mood.
Inclined to try Cardinal from Heeley as well, need to order some samples.
