Kiler has defended his logo in the past, saying it suits him and his brand. Basically, most people think they're pretty damn ugly. The bottles and the logo have been the debate of much discussion in the frag comm. I'm a sucker for personal touches like that. It also arrives with a hand-written note from Kiler, which makes me smile. The discovery set samples come in 1mL dabber tubes with scent cards. This is middle-of-the-road for a niche brand. Computing price per mil using the 60mL bottles, PK Perfumes range from $2/mL to $2.75/mL. If you've got more money in the bank, the $125-165 60mL bottles are an option for you. Those $15-20 purse sprays open a world of options to people on tight budgets. There are perfumes that I enjoy greatly, but not enough to spend $300 for the only available size, considering how little money I make. As silly as it sounds, I'm really happy that Kiler offers his fragrances in a variety of sizes. All of these fragrances-excluding TNT, the tribute fragrance for the late Tama Blough (RIP)-come in 4 different sizes, all sprays: a 4-5mL purse size and bottles in 15mL, 30mL, and 60mL variations. If you decide to buy these perfumes, you'll notice quite a few size options. Considering I didn't pay for a single drop of these, I didn't press the issue, but please leave me a comment if you've tried those scents out! They sound right up my alley. These were not press samples.Īs a quick heads-up: while the website says the discovery set includes samples of Pentecost and Zaffran, I did not receive those two fragrances. But the fluke stuck, and I ended up checking out for free. I assumed this was a minor fluke that would fix itself as I clicked around the website any time I pay with PayPal, I get booted to three or four different pages, and the numbers constantly change. When I applied the coupon, it removed not half of the cost, but all of it.
This was an accident: Kiler had released a "50% off" coupon for Cyber Monday, and I dove on the deal. Some of these reviews are available, slightly altered, on Fragrantica.įull disclosure here: I did not pay for these 9 perfume vials, unless you include the $5 shipping cost. Other images are mine OR are credited to other artists. NOTE: The header images for the like, dislike, and crown jewels sections come directly from Kiler's website all credit goes where it's due. This is going to be quite a long review with lots of pictures, so I'm going to put my overview, my impressions of the individual fragrances, and my final say under a cut. Yes, yes, I admit that I bought something, in part, because not a lot of people have written about it. When the folks at Makeup Alley began posting slews of Cyber Monday coupon codes for fragrance websites, I dove straight for Kiler's work because of his sterling reputation, his involvement in the community (you'll see him posting on YouTube and Basenotes from time to time), and the lack of reviews for his fragrances. These reviews cover most of the discovery set from PK Perfumes, fragrances designed by nose Paul Kiler. If I'm going to do fragrance reviews-a very shaky, scary territory for somebody like me-then I'm going to start off with a bang.
