Piña Paraíso

Libertine Parfumerie in Sydney now sells the 75 ml outright at 255 Australian dollars, on an ordinary cart rather than a waiting list, with Midnight Espresso and Sparkling Royal arriving beside it. Alla Violetta has moved with it: the listing that read pre-order through August carries a plain buy button now, while Midnight Espresso next to it is still labelled pre-order — so the shop is marking the difference. Two boutiques on two continents taking orders is what settles the launch, whatever the house's own shop has yet to open.

Kilian's own shop has still not opened it: the 10 ml at 37 dollars and the 75 ml at 150 both sit behind a notify-me button, where the other two Cocktails now have a buy one. Sephora, which carries the collection exclusively in the States, is out of stock in both sizes as well — though the people rating it there plainly have bottles in hand.

A week on and the gap has not closed: Kilian now sells the 10 ml of Midnight Espresso and of Sparkling Royal from its own shop, while the same size of Piña Paraíso still reads coming soon. Every 75 ml in the collection, and the Mini Bar set with them, is in the same waiting state. At Sephora the fragrance stays out of stock in both sizes while the reviews go on accumulating.

The one of the three Kilian has yet to open: the 10 ml at 37 dollars and the 75 ml at 150 both read coming soon on the house's own shop, while its two siblings now sell the small bottle. Sephora is out of stock in both sizes.

The Sephora listing is live and has collected reviews from people wearing it, but the 75 ml at 150 dollars and the 10 ml at 37 are both sold out, and Kilian's shop shows the collection as coming soon. Weighed as a release and left on pre-order: a first American drop that sold through is not the launch.

Alla Violetta lists it on pre-order, the same as Midnight Espresso and unlike Sparkling Royal beside it, which has a normal buy button — so the shop is distinguishing the two states rather than defaulting to one. Now Smell This reported on 8 August that the three reach Sephora later this month at USD 37 for 10 ml and USD 150 for 75 ml. Nothing else carries them yet — the Kilian ranges at Fragrance Passion, Niche Gallery and Osswald run to 47, 38 and 39 products without any of the collection, and Fragrantica lists 107 By Kilian entries with no page for it, so the pyramid here has only the boutique's own listing behind it.
