Killr Vanillr EDP 50ml

Killr Vanillr is a part of The Raconteur’s second collection inspired by the connections between us, where each fragrance requires you to lean in and be fully present in the process of experiencing it. The collection turns the genre of “gourmand” fragrances right on its head, breaking perfumery norms to deliver a range of fragrances that is completely unique and interesting, not to mention tasty! Still deeply connected to its Australian roots, iconic Australian symbols and botanicals are featured throughout this collection, adding to the sense of connectedness the fragrances themselves foster.

Neon gods still burning bright. Drowning deep in liquid light. Weightless, shirtless, silhouettes. Your soft lips and cigarettes. You lead, I follow. Between sinning and tomorrow. Hearts race while sun chases. Still taste you in secret places. 

Australia’s best nightclubs all have one thing in common: 3am. Best hour. Best tunes. Best new friends. All you need is to be delicious, and Killr Vanillr will facilitate that.

HOW IT WEARS
Opening with a fluffy and creamy concoction of vanilla, white chocolate and orris butter, as Killr Vanillr wears it gets more complex and seductive. Next comes the sweet spice of liquorice, the warmth of patchouli, and the syrupy dark resinousness of labdanum, turning the fragrance dark and mysterious. With mouth-watering projection, Killr Vanillr will last 6-8 hours of wear on the skin.

LORE LOVES
Killr Vanillr is a vanilla fragrance with a twist so delectably sensual it’s simply to die for (see what we did there?). Liquorice and labdanum are really what sets this scent apart from its more vanilla counterparts, rendering the fragrance more rich, resinous, and carnal. On some people’s skin, it can sometimes even be borderline animalic given that labdanum can lean a little leathery.  It does indeed invoke those wee hours of the morning where only the most debaucherous activities take place. Think leaning against the wall outside a nightclub, cigarette in one hand, the small of someone’s back in the other. Killr Vanillr is meant to be breathed in by a lover – whether they’re a stranger or not is of no concern!
