By Kilian Intoxicated
“Coffee after dinner on a winter night that isn't over yet.”
Cardamom and coffee open Intoxicated, Calice Becker's 2014 spiced coffee composition for By Kilian, before cinnamon leads into a caramel-sweet base. Warm spice dominates the accords well ahead of coffee, with a fresh-spicy edge. Frequently compared to Mugler A*Men (1996) for its coffee-spice character. A fall and winter evening scent.
The take
