At last one of these 'Addictive state of mind' collection that doesn't heavily resemble another fragrance. Intoxicated - Nuanced upmarket A*Men/Pure Coffee. Smoke for the soul - subtly modified KINSKI. To me with Light my fire I can see the back to black, Chergui and Lanvin Avant garde but this is different enough to all of them to be it's own thing. I really like the fact the honey isn't over done the opening is slightly sweet with it but the hay note and tobacco are full bodied enough to offset that. The cumin in here is not everyone's cup of tea but luckily I love it and again, when balanced against vanilla the spicing is perfect. I did wear it on my skin and it smelled good lasting fairly well but I also sprayed it on a card to remind me of the scent several days later and it has a very faint woody/tobacco/cumin smell now. All in all this is a good perfume and perhaps by default my favourite. Still the performance leaves a bit to be desired considering the premium price.
Light My Fire is the perfect name for such a warming and intoxicating scent. I’ve come to realise that Kilian are very good at walking that line between sexy, and cosy - this does both brilliantly. It’s a sort of dark, earthy tobacco scent done remarkably well. The tobacco is incredibly dry, papery and almost vegetal, I suppose elevated by hay to dry it out even more until it becomes slightly grassy. This grassiness lends itself to a dark and earthy nature through the addition of hefty amounts of patchouli, alongside vetiver and birch. There’s a touch of honeyed sweetness and vanilla, but this is subtle. The patchouli in here reminds me slightly of Straight to Heaven, which I love. However this does take it into a new direction with the sweet tobacco and honey notes. I think this is fantastic, it just smells warming and alluring - I don’t love it as much as Straight to Heaven though, which I adore.
