A Taste of Heaven
Eau de Parfum - L’Oeuvre Noire Collection
by By Kilian



The Scoop
Inspired by absinthe, bittersweet nectar of poets, A Taste of Heaven has nothing in common with the herbal fragrances that usually carry the absinthe name. This perfume gives an initial burst of orange blossom then blossoms into a heart of Turkish rose, which is joined by the deep brown, woody hues of patchouli and oak moss. This surprising garden is enhanced with rich and a fresh sprig of French lavender, while Bourbon vanilla pulls double duty as both an anchor and a rich, fluid and sweet player throughout the scent. A Taste of Heaven falls more on the elegant side of masculinity yet retains all the seduction and power that can only come from a fragrance that combines so many opposites. It’s unpredictable…and we like it like that.

I got the chance to smell this because my friend had ordered a sample. I am a young woman, and I love this scent (for myself!), all the apparent masculine connotations notwithstanding. It is green, spicy, and has the wonderful quality of slowly transforming from a cool, tingling feel to a warm and cozy sensation. It lasts forever (12+ hours) and has a gentle, yet noticable, sillage. Also, considering I can get this for 70$ and the travel refill and decant it, it is suprisingly affordable compared to other scents on this website. Sample for yourself!

The fresh lavender notes are very present in the initial smell. It felt a little too masculine for me at first as the lavender gave an almost a sharp quality. But after a while the most lovely warm scent started to surface. At first it struck me as woodsy and warm kind of like a musk but it also had a creamy sweet effect that made it beautifully feminine. It has somewhat of a olfactory gender transformation. IMO, all of the By Kilian scents seem to share this quality quite uniquely.

This is pretty nice, but to me it smells virtually indistinguishable from Lolita Lempicka, which I can get at a fraction of the cost.

I remember of it as a very clever composition including lavender. I don't like lavender, and I'm disgusted of it because of all the masculines scents using it that make it so banal. Here you have a nice blend with lavender, with a weird side as well. A real perfume creation, worth sniffing, the rest depends of your taste, and wallet...

Interesting, reminds me of Old Spice or something like it, but there is something about it that I like. Starts out almost piney and seems to dry down on me to something powdery/creamy with a hint of cinnamon. Does last longer than others I've tried.

I really didn't care for this scent. I smelled like an all natural herbal bathroom cleanser. Perhaps it's just a little too bracing for me.

This was very interesting in the vial. After I wore it for a little while, all the complexity evaporated and I smelled like my grandfather -- English Leather, I think. I'm very glad that I tried a sample first.

Pretty much only smelled a beautiful lavender. I can find a lot of lavenders that I love and not spend $225. This whole line is way over-priced, even with the beautiful packaging.

I got a sample of this and now feel like I will have to save up to buy a full bottle. I expected something woodsy and perhaps spicy (its a green color liquid) but on me this is sweet, sweet , sweet and incredibly long lasting. I dabbed a bit on yesterday and can still smell it 24 hours later. It starts out as a rich complex herbal scent but after about 5 minutes it's soft elegant and totally smooth side emerges and stays and stays. I totally love it - heavenly!

I think this is my fave of this rather impressive line. The scent is what can be best described as a complex herbal scent with plenty of warmth underneath all of that freshness. The drydown is warm, slightly vanillic, and very, very musky. This makes a lovely unisex scent. Beautiful and distinctive!

This is a beautiful, original, and deeply rich parfum. It has strong lasting power and it just keeps changing and getting warmer as time wears on. Great!

I sampled this fragrance along with Kilian's "Love" & "Beyond Love" scents and was not impressed with either of them. Out of the three I would rate "Beyond Love" the highest but to my nose there is nothing that phenomenal about any of these fragrances that warrants the $225 price tag! For that price I would expect a fragrance to be distinct & long lasting - both of these characteristics were lacking ~

This one is lovely. A crisp bracing cologne with sophisticated herbal complexity. Of the Killian line this one almost seemed to glow. I don't smell anise or anything absinthe-like but I enjoyed the resonance of the cool top notes with the warm woods. Very nice.

This is a gorgeous parfum and my favorite from this line. The rest i am not so crazy about. This is definitely a unisex fragrance, everytime i wear it i get asked what the beautiful scent is. Is it worth $225......possibly if you want to wear a more unique parfum.
