Back to Black
Calice Becker composed By Kilian Back to Black around sandalwood, and it shows the longer you wear it.
How it moves
Bergamot, coriander and nutmeg hit first, the way an opening line should. Then the heart turns up — honey, tobacco leaf and cherry — and the whole thing slows down. Last to go: vanilla, cedarwood and sandalwood.
Who made it
Calice Becker composed it in 2009, for By Kilian in France. Subtitled Aphrodisiac, an early Calice Becker composition for Kilian built on honeyed tobacco and cherry.
