Kilian Paris' fragrances are the key to the world of luxury olfactive pleasures
Reserach, innovation and personality are at the core of the brand's universe since 15 years

To break the rules you have to know them artfully, and for Kilian Hennessy, master of the world's artistic perfumery and CEO of Kilian Parfums, the world of perfumes has no secrets that cannot be artfully hidden inside a designer bottle. Since the brand's founding in October 2007, Kilian Paris fragrances have been divided into five olfactory families: The Fresh, The Narcotics, The Cellars, The Smokes and The Liquors, eloquent names that speak the language of luxury of the French maison, born from the heritage of the Moet Hennessy family from which the founder is descended. The brand's imagery of pure luxury is embodied in the choice of opulent and highly sought-after materials, which we had the pleasure of discovering during an experience in Morocco where we got to know the skeleton of the sartorial and instantly recognizable creations, almost tactile scents that in a dry multitude of creativity diluted in marketing such as the commercial perfumery environment are unique, as founder states deeply confident of his products:
"Perfumes in the 19th century were fun and bold, whereas today I find them flat and boring, as can already be seen from the names "Blue" or "Black." I wanted to bring that verve of luxury and boldness to the world of perfumery that I felt was missing in the scenario. Our motto, not surprisingly, is 'Don't be shy"
The maison's fragrances are a luxury product with an aspirational and refined aesthetic like a designer bag. The Art Deco-style carafes are a true work of art composed of premium materials that communicate the precious contents created only from the finest raw materials and reflect the philosophy. Art for Kilian Hennessy is a way to be aligned with the times we live in, which is why these little design jewels espouse the eco-luxe approach with 20 percent recycled glass and can be reused indefinitely allowing those who choose a Kilian Paris fragrance to embrace the beauty industry's advancements in sustainability without sacrificing a high-end choice. What the glass casket contains, on the other hand, is pure magic applied to one's personality in order to want to embody the sense of smell visibly on the wearer of the fragrance by telling a new emotion that speaks of history, research, care and, of course, boldness:
"Our fragrances have not existed before, they are unique, which is why the wearer of our perfume, stands out from the crowd. One day one can feel like a diva by dressing appropriately in an elegant fragrance, while on the day one can be transformed by wearing a completely opposite and aggressive fragrance. It is up to the wearer of the fragrance to choose to be who they will be today and who they will be tomorrow."
The creative thrill of Kilian Hennessy comes to select boutiques this fall with the relaunch of two of the brand's iconic fragrances, created by founder and Perfumer Nose Calice Becker nearly a decade ago, Sacred Wood and Rose Oud. Both are two fragrances containing Cedarwood, a prized ingredient from the mountains of Morocco, a land that welcomed nss G-Club during the brand's organized trip to discover a world of sensory pleasures that opens up through the blending of prized raw materials with an important cultural heritage, such as Sacred Wood, an essence relaunched on September 15 that pays homage to Sandalwood from Mysore in India, an ingredient reputed to be sacred reserved for religious temples and therefore and to this day prohibited in perfumery. Rose Oud, on the other hand, will be relaunched Oct. 15 and tells of the warm allure of glowing rose mixed with dreamy notes of spice and wood. In addition to the world of haute perfumery, the brand also explores the world of make-up with an equally prized line that declines the sensory potential of perfume also in lipsticks, both tints and retractable lipsticks, with equally luxurious materials and able to tell the personality and boldness of the wearer, in full Kilian style.
