Voulez-vous Coucher Avec Moi (Batch 2019)

Few fragrance names dare you quite like this one. Kilian's Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi, launched in 2015 as part of the provocatively named Narcotics collection, is an Eau de Parfum built by master perfumer Alberto Morillas around a lush, cream-soaked white floral heart. The name promises something dangerous. What you get is more like a bridal bouquet dipped in warm vanilla silk, which, depending on your taste, is either more seductive or more surprising than you expected. Aromatica carries the Kilian Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi decant in Bangladesh in all available sizes.

Fragrance Notes

Top: Neroli

Heart: Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, Gardenia, Bulgarian Rose, Litchi

Base: Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cedar

The Scent

A clean, slightly citrusy neroli opens things up, barely settling on skin before the heart takes over. Within the first few minutes, tuberose takes command, thick and creamy and entirely in charge. This is not a shy tuberose. It has presence, a waxy richness that can read as intoxicating or as overwhelming depending on the wearer. The ylang-ylang adds a honeyed, almost narcotic depth that earns the collection its name. Gardenia weaves in softly underneath, reinforcing the white floral density rather than adding contrast. Bulgarian rose brings a touch of rouge warmth, stopping the composition from reading as purely bridal white. The litchi is subtle, a faint aqueous sweetness that sits at the edge and keeps the heart from becoming too heavy or too stiff.

As the fragrance develops through the first hour, the floral cluster begins to soften and the transition toward the base becomes increasingly apparent. The neroli's earlier brightness recedes entirely, allowing the tuberose and ylang-ylang to meld into a single, unified floral mass before the warmer materials below begin to surface. Vanilla comes through gradually, wrapping the tuberose in a powdery, slightly sugared haze that feels less like sweetness added on top and more like the natural conclusion of the white florals themselves. Sandalwood provides a smooth, creamy foundation that integrates with the vanilla without competing, and cedar adds enough dryness to prevent the whole thing from reading as purely gourmand. The sandalwood is particularly well-chosen here, anchoring the sweetness and giving the composition a skin-close warmth that carries through the dry-down. The dry-down is warm and close to the skin, with a soft powdery-floral character that lingers. It can read as a refined bridal fragrance with a honey-vanilla finish or lean toward the opulent florientals of an earlier era, depending on skin chemistry. Either way, the dry-down is softer than the name suggests.

When to Wear

An evening and date-night fragrance, best in the cooler months from autumn through winter when the warmth of vanilla and sandalwood can breathe. It fits intimate dinners, gallery openings, or quieter social settings where you want to wear something that commands quiet attention rather than loud presence.

Who Is It For

Made for someone who appreciates rich white florals and creamy skin-warming bases, who gravitates toward opulent, classically structured perfumery and is not afraid of a fragrance that announces itself. It skews feminine but the unisex classification stands for those comfortable with full-throated floral richness.

If you enjoy Love, don't be shy, which shares the same house's sweet-floral-vanilla DNA, it is worth comparing the two back to back. Browse the full Kilian collection at Aromatica.
