Yes I Was Madly in Love, but That Was Yesterday, from By Kilian was released in 2018. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Raspberry, middle notes of White Tobacco, and base notes of Leather.
“Yes I Was Madly In Love, But That Was Yesterday.” What a strange name for a fragrance, a name that doesn’t really resonate with the scent profile or any related story at all really. Forgetting that, the scent itself is rather quite nice, but I’m not crazy about it. Raspberry has always been one of those notes I have a hard time enjoying, in fact I’m still yet to find a single raspberry perfume I actually love - I always find it too sweet, cloying and plasticky. Here, thankfully, the raspberry is rather tame whilst still acting as the most dominant note. It’s definitely sweet, juicy and gourmand, but thankfully the tobacco balances it very well with a touch of dryness. I’ll admit I was concerned when I saw raspberry and leather together, it gave me flashbacks to the abomination that is Tuscan Leather. Thankfully, this is nothing like that - I would happily wear this and enjoy it, but I don’t love it enough to buy a bottle.
