Granted, my makeup bag has dwindled over the years, but my collection of perfume - slowly, but surely - continues to grow. Back to Black is another welcome addition to my little perfume family. ...

One of ten samples I got from Surrender to Chance in a collection of niche perfumes. It's my second favorite. Exceptionally warm, has a nice but not overwhelming incense, (although the first time I...

This is the first by Kilian fragrance that I have tried. I recieved samples of B2B and Love. B2B is definately a try before you buy fragrance. According to the rest of the reviews it seems to...

I so wanted to love this one. Between the reviews, the notes and a dear swapping friend recommending it, I was maybe too excited. Anyway, what I got was rotting rosewater with what might've been a...

I am disappoint. I love cherry tobacco notes -- but found this really wanting. Lasted less than an hour on me, and never got more than a bit of red fruit. I've had more nuance and longevity from...

I knew that when By Kilian did a very generous sample giveaway on Facebook and I was a lucky recipient that I would love at least one of the fragrances in my sample pouches, back to black was the...

Very nice. However, if I want tobacco, I'm going to SL's Fumerie Turque. If I want honey, I'm going to Botrytis or Honey and the Moon. And Back ot Black is nearly all honey and tobacco. I...

*Nice* scent, but if you want me to spend over $200 for 50ml you have to be more than merely *nice*. For having a name like Back to Black this is surprisingly tame. It starts off with barely-there...

Yes, warm honey and cherry tobacco but it very quickly dries down to cherry chapstick on my skin. Lasting power does not seem to be that great. I think it could be very lovable but for the price it...

Absolutely incredible fragrance! I just adore this slightly fruity, slighty sweet tobacco scent, which I received in a Kilian sample pack. It's a dark fragrance which is perfect for evenings and...

Tried a sample of this from Luckyscent. The opening was very honeyed and slightly fruity on me. Overall, the scent is heavy, too, but not in a bad way. I do get very nice tobacco notes, and...

Easily one of my all time top fragrances! It is cavendish cherry pipe tobacco, combined with honey tobacco, some booziness that dissapates on me pretty quickly... spices, vanilla.... light...

Reminiscent of a freshly-opened tin of honey-flavored cigarillos from a good brand like CAO, Tatiana, or Havana Honey's. When worn, makes me want to smoke myself: not sure if that is good or bad.

I detected black cherry (only subtly), honey (LOTS of honey) and a dirty, unused cigarette immediately after first spray. Pipe Tobacco? I don't think so. The Tobacco note in Back to Black is not...

I get a little bit of honey and boozy cherries at the very beginning, and then...it's all dark chocolate on me for a few hours. It might still be an aphrodisiac, as my hubby's a chocolate fiend,...

I find Kilian's Back to Black especially beautiful in colder temperatures. The tobacco-honey-cherry note lends itself perfectly to the fall and winter season, but it does also work in summer. For...

I had to delete my old review because my opinions of this have changed so much. I loved this from the first time I sniffed it and I used up my whole sample, but I was expecting something dark,...

I'm probably an unfair person to review this. I do not like tobacco fragrances. I don't like tobacco. I loath, beyond words, cigarettes and everything they stand for and the idea of SMELLING...
