Wearing Kilian Apple Brandy On The Rocks In The Real World

[@Geez55thSt]

The head roll off of the first smell was my exact reaction... The look said everything!

[@Gl6619]

Thanks for being honest as opposed to some people who would have lied and said “ I got tons of compliments”…. I think some people are really insecure and will lie about compliments they never got…. This is why you’ve quickly become my favorite fragrance reviewer…

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you bro.

Indeed

Amazing review thank you so much Justin 👏🏽🙌🏾

Thank you Adem!

Thank you Latonya!

I'm sure everyone wants to see the next video. 😁 can't wait to smell this fragrance.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Coming soon, Melissa!

[@tammiearrata3679]

Yes - would like to see full wearing

[@dartheinnulfr8986]

That first “Wow”. Oh yeah that’s it right there 😂🤣

[@kroshae]

Yes do a video bro.. love this content

[@stayfreshproductions]

It's coming bro! Thank you

[@somefragrances1225]

Yes, another video....

[@ryangairdner3229]

I had a sample of the original and it had a deep pretty photo realistic cocktail vibe. Interesting to see they freshened it up. Really interested to here about the other release and I'm digging the new review style

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks Ryan!! I need to get a bottle of the original...

[@sb0182]

What is “the original“ The name ?😭 Just “Apple Brandy“ instead of “Apple Brandy ON THE ROCKS“ ??? Everyone saying “the original“ as if everyone knows what it is 😩

[@DivineFrag]

The problem with Kilian is that they price themselves too high. Realistically there is no argument to support the idea that their per 100 ml prices are far above even brands like Xerjoff, Roja, Initio etc. I still own quite a few, but mostly just gourmand fall fragrances, nothing like this in profile nor L'Heure Verte.

[@manygaga1]

True. Lots of expensive niche brands send their new releases to youtubers. That can give the impression to us viewers that it is normal to give a sick amount of money for a bottle. Luckily there are lots of niche brand that handle much more realistic and fair prizes.

[@edgardozara97]

Justin, please get apple brandy OG then do a comparison video. Id really like to know which is a better boozy scent between that and apple brandy on the rock. Btw i already have single malt from this house :)

[@stayfreshproductions]

Gotta save up for it, it's hard to find and not cheap! 😆 Thanks Edgardo.

[@This_is_Sparta83]

I have the original and need to get my nose on this one, to see if it’s different enough to warrant the purchase.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Check it out if you can!

[@bionicle1611]

I cant smell at the moment due to Covid, but I'll get my tester next week, let's hope I can smell something until then!

[@stayfreshproductions]

I hope you have a speedy recovery!

[@Warmsunset26]

What is your take on '' solid fragrances ' ?

[@stayfreshproductions]

I don't wear them! I much prefer to spray it on. :)

[@mrbigglesworth35ify]

this or black phantom?

[@stayfreshproductions]

Depends on what you prefer: sweet dessert like scents, or spicy woody scents?

[@babycakes8434]

I just had a chance to check it out, and I would like it for myself. Any other female that likes it too for her?

[@CM-pr1oq]

95 percent of fragrance reviews all sound the same now a days. Then when they actually get tested with females they don’t seem to pass the test. I feel most of these KZbinr copy one another

[@stayfreshproductions]

You’re gonna have to be more specific. And female opinions aren’t the final say on the validity of a fragrance.

You successfully used context clues and figured it out! 😆 Yes the original is Apple Brandy. It is discontinued and hard to find.

[@hrithik4515]

This was a disappointment for me

[@jasonhatford3156]

It is classy, it out classed me when I wore it yesterday to test at my side gig delivering pizza’s. Gave me that fall feel, I know I will be pulling it out as soon as the heat breaks.

[@antoniowhitner7594]

Where did you get it?

[@290revolver290]

[@Joshua_Cruz]

Just caught my attention… I need to check it out

[@airmaxair-max4993]

Yo! Appreciate how you had the 1st impression, then wore the fragrance and then came back all within the 1 video so we could get a more rounded out understanding of the fragrance. 🎯💪🏾 well done big time

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you bro!!

[@jasonjacomet8734]

Please review both, I have both coming Wednesday, can’t wait to hear your thoughts!!!

[@Shawntraci]

You have convinced me again to pull the trigger on another fragrance! Watching you is getting to be expensive good Sir 🤣 (I wish Killian would reach out to me too I love this house)

[@stayfreshproductions]

I hope you enjoy it!!

[@riddhboss5438]

For this line, I’m so happy to get myself an Angel’s Share. The Booziness with Gourmand are definitely hitting the spots for me. But I’m not gonna lie, seeing the notes of Apple Brandy on the Rock makes me wanna grab it too.

[@Segkee]

Not a huge fan of Kilian. I get a very synthetic vibe from all of their fragrances. I did love the Rihanna endorsed one (Love don't be shy??). Marshmallow so definitely artificial but in a good and expected way. I'm not opposed to synthetic as long as what I'm smelling knows what it's doing. Great vid!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you!!

[@SimplyAyesha]

I enjoyed your video! This one unfortunately doesn’t last on me, but I love the scent! Glad to hear a man’s point of view!

[@scentualobsessions]

Presentation is top notch. This one is very intriguing and sounds really good.

[@nathanthomas5133]

Top notch ?! Pity about the cheap plastic lid. At the price they’re charging they could have afforded a glass lid to match the bottle

[@scentualobsessions]

@@nathanthomas5133 I can agree to that but Still looks good I don’t know about how it feels but glass definitely would have been better for the price

[@stayfreshproductions]

I agree, it would have been cool to see a glass cap...but we gotta be real. That would shoot the price even higher. 😆

[@tyranlawson1088]

Love Apple Brandy on the Rocks. Sampled it at Cosmetic company store and sales attendant agreed it smelled great on me and she loved it on herself as well. The problem is someone purchased their entire stock, so they only had it in store for one day.

Damnnn you Kilian!!!!!! I gave up sneakers for fragrances to have a more affordable collecting hobby. Boy was I wrong. I plan on collecting this line but I have to get my nose on the new arrivals.

[@viggenone]

I never tried any Killian Fragrance, I should, but I simply don't resonate with the brand, I want a bottle of Angel's Share, but the others I don't know. I'm more interested in L'heure Verte than this one, I don't have any Absinthe fragrance, I love to hear your take on it. As always a pleasure thank you!!!

L'Heure Verte coming soon Carlos!

[@ysquaredd]

Wait, is this for men? I guess it doesn't matter. I smelled it today in person, picked this out as my next bottle and ended up on this video while doing my research.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Check it out and see what you think!

[@fredlayne7718]

Justin... Great video! I was sure there'd be some kind of apple note to go with the name but, I guess not. Maybe I will look into getting a decant/sample of it to test it out. Keep up the great work and thank you my brother!

I don't know what you're smelling. I know, I know - different tastes. Everybody isn't going to like everything the same, but Apple Brandy on the Rocks smells straight nasty to me. In the trash it went. I wanted to like it. I sprayed all over my home, just spraying and spraying... trying to find a reason to like the scent. Nope. I get the dry woodiness. Yeah, I got that, but no, nope and no way. It's on its way to a landfill. God that stuff was awful.

@@stayfreshproductions Yeah, I get it. But it's only money. There's always more money. I must have thrown away more scents than I kept over the years. Let's see... 75 or so in the collection that I actually wear and probably more than 100 either thrown away or still on a shelf never worn.

[@plamenski5244]

Man, I'd love to try this one. I loved the scent of the oroginal but it just didn't perform well on me at all - it stayed super close to the skin for about 2-3hrs and that was it. I'm hoping this one is a bit stronger with similar scent profile on me. From a fellow musician (drummer) - thanks for reviewing it 👍😎

This is brand new…

[@plamenski5244]

@ I understand that...

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you bro! This one performed pretty well for me. I'm surprised the original didn't last for you!

[@Mark-jp3rg]

I like the review. I like and respect the story of Kilian and am very much interested in Kilian fragrances, but I am behind on the house. I smelled Angel's Share a few months ago. There is no denying the quality for which the house is known. I was very impressed with the opening and the realistic "oak barrel" that followed. I'd like to see an assessment of the original Apple Brandy, along with Angel's Share and Roses on Ice, then maybe Vodka on the Rocks and especially Straight to Heaven. A comparison and overview of these along with the 2 most recent releases would be a great contribution. BUT...the Kilian price point must be factored in.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Mark! I like Roses on Ice and I'm crazy about Angels Share...Straight to Heaven might still be my favorite from the house, but I still need to get a bottle lol. Vodka OTR is nice.
