Back to Black
About
Back to Black by By Kilian is an Amber Woody fragrance for women and men . Kindle a bonfire in the dark of the night that holds the bright stars. The sparks float up to the stars and fade in the darkness. Back to Black is the picture of that moment of freedom and mystery, imaginably. Oozy honey mingles with a spice-coated enigmatic incense, cherry-flavored tobacco, and vanilla absolute and flourishes towards the heart with an indescribable piercing warmth. Release Year: 2009 Concentration: Nose: Calice Becker
**Back to Black** opens with thick honey, touched by the herbal bitterness of chamomile and the dry spark of coriander. In the first minutes, the sweetness feels warm and almost edible, then quickly turns darker. At the heart, a tobacco accord rises—soft rather than ashy, with a cherry shadow and a spicy saffron echo. A ginger nuance adds a gentle heat, like warm air above a cup of strong tea. After a few hours, the fragrance grows denser and more velvety: vanilla, amber and tonka bean create a deep, rounded trail. Patchouli and the woody base keep the composition structured, stopping it from slipping into simple gourmand territory. On skin, it feels like an evening scent of honey and tobacco with a warm, faintly smoky aftertaste.
