Kilian

Kilian is a French fragrance company that has made ecology its guiding principle. The company's founder is Kilian Hennessy, who, surprisingly, comes from a family involved in Cognac production. So how do you get from Cognac to perfume, you ask? It turns out that Kilian Hennessy spent his childhood among his family's wine cellars in the Cognac region of France. He went on to study in a special communications and language program. It was there, while writing a thesis on the semantics of scents and searching for a common language between gods and mortals, that he found his calling in perfumery. Learning from some of the greatest perfumers in the field From the moment he was introduced to the field, Kilian continued studying it alongside some of the greatest noses in the perfume industry. The result was the creation of several distinguished perfumes for leading fashion brands in the industry. Finally, in 2007, Kilian launched his own perfume house, and naturally, as someone from a family with such a distinguished heritage, he chose, in keeping with this long family tradition, to turn to the production of luxury goods. Kilian - five different collections Kilian has several collections, with a story hidden behind each one. More than a decade after its launch, the Kilian brand includes quite a few scents, spread across different fragrance collections, including: "L'Oeuvre Noire", "Arabian Nights", "Asian Tales", "In the Garden of Good and Evil" and "Intoxicated". For example, the L'oeuvre noire collection ("Black Masterpiece") was first launched in 2007, with new fragrances added to the collection every year and a total of ten fragrances available to date. When Kilian talks about his perfumes, he usually links them to the worlds of literature or cinema, as well as sensual allusions (referring to good food or leather). His work seems to be constantly influenced by these references. And while art leaves its mark, perfume has an inherently intangible dimension. The top notes, heart notes, citrus or explosive notes. But there must be something that the eye can take in: the bottle, the material, the atomizer; and the box, the bed in which it rests, like an echo, a mirror, a passage beyond reality. Kilian and his artisans chose to risk descending to earth, working with silver, gold, lace and lacquer; they made sure to seek ways to recharge (rather than throw away); to dare to interpret what they dream, draw out the essence and immortalize it. To translate with the risk of betrayal, but also to reconnect. Unexpected products for the designer By Kilian 72 perfumes at the base of our fragrance. The earliest edition was created in 2007 and the newest is from 2020. Kilian fragrances were created in collaboration with perfumers Calice Becker, Sidonie Lancesseur, Alberto Morillas, Christian Provenzano, Pascal Gaurin, Fabrice Pellegrin, Honorine Blanc and Dorothée Piot. Indeed, Kilian continues to create unexpected products embodying ultimate sophistication and timeless luxury through a collection of wearable scented jewelry and decorative objects for the home. As the Kilian brand evolves and matures, the only aspect that remains consistent is that every product created embodies ultimate sophistication and timeless luxury. The Arabian Nights collection, for example, presents fragrances with an oriental character and distinctive packaging, and was launched in 2009, with Pure Oud as its leading fragrance. Two oud-based fragrances were added to this collection. The Kilian brand also launched limited editions of several fragrances in the collection, in special luxury packaging. It also expanded its offering to include evening bags starting in 2011. One of the things that sets Kilian apart is its ecological focus. Here, the company emphasizes ecology and sustainability through its use of reusable packaging, making it possible to purchase a perfume refill rather than buy the bottle in which it is housed. It is certainly a revolutionary idea, it must be admitted.
