Has A Taste of Heaven Absinthe Verte been discontinued?+−
Yes, this fragrance is no longer part of the active Kilian lineup and has become a sought-after collectible in the secondary market.
How does this compare to Guerlain Jicky?+−
Both share a prominent lavender and vanilla foundation. However, A Taste of Heaven is generally perceived as smoother and more "green" due to the absinthe influence, lacking the intense animalic or "dirty" musk notes often associated with Jicky.
Can this fragrance be worn in an office setting?+−
While it is refined and high-quality, the opening is quite sharp and the sillage is noticeable. It is best to apply it at least 20 minutes before entering a shared space to let the herbal notes settle into the softer vanilla heart.
Is the vanilla in this scent very sugary?+−
The vanilla is prominent, but it is a "darker," resinous vanilla supported by amber and patchouli rather than a bright, candy-like sugar. The bitterness of the oakmoss and wormwood keeps the sweetness in check.
