This is a very beautiful scent in a manly kind of way. Not saying a woman couldn’t pull this one off but I am truly in love with it and I am a man. As it does share some of the same dna of Muglers Pure Havane to my nose, it goes in a more intoxicating direction. (pardon the pun) I have not smelled the By Kilian version but I will definitely be purchasing Lose Control again and again. If you find Pure Havane to be a pleasant scent then you too will fall in love with Lose Control 1459.
