By Kilian
Kilian Hennessy…if the last name rings a bell, your instinct is right. Kilian is the heir to a long line of French cognac makers which bear his name. Grandson to the founder of the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton Group, Kilian is looking to make his legacy one of finely crafted perfumes that spare absolutely no expense. With the launch of his first series, Kilian also unveiled exactly what was in his rare blends down to the percentage of each ingredient, and his peers gasped. By Kilian fragrances follow that time-honored tradition of you get what you pay for…go for the best and you’ll never be disappointed.
L’Oeuvre Noire Collection
He’s named his first collection of fragrances L’Oeuvre Noire and broken them into three distinct parts: feminine (theme: ingénues, a mix of tender sweetness and awakening wiles); masculine (theme: artificial paradise, the dark side of beauty) and unisex (theme: the Parisian orgy, a source of desires, transgressions and pleasures of the flesh).
Arabian Nights Collection
Periods and continents diverge to give birth to this oriental collection. The Arabian Nights collection will be composed of 5 olfactive harmonies, all built around essential oils with strong symbolic values from the East: Oud, Rose, Incense, Amber and Musk. In many Middle Eastern countries, oud is believed to be worth more than its weight in gold. To echo this belief, the Kilian bottle has a gold plaque engraved with the name of the perfume and the box is decorated with a gold plate on the top.
Asian Tales Collection
With this new collection, KILIAN takes us on another exciting discovery of a new culture. ASIAN TALES was first conceived as an olfactive voyage, yet soon transformed into a spiritual journey as meanings behind symbols and words became increasingly significant and relevant. As the creation took shape, every detail was placed with careful attention and with the intent to pay homage to this great culture.
The Opera Red
Red is a lucky color in China, often worn by Emperors and by the Nobility during official ceremonies.
KILIAN has chosen, specifically, the ""opera red"" which symbolizes courage, righteousness and loyalty in the Chinese culture.
The Amulet
The coin, in China, is regarded as an amulet, a gauge of prosperity. It is said that the coin must be attached to a red string to activate its success.
The Lucky #8
The number 8 is THE lucky number in Chinese culture as it is believed to bring prosperity and happiness. It is also a perfectly symmetrical shape and, therefore, representative of perfect balance. Our coin is engraved with 8 letter K’s, in the logotype of the KILIAN brand.
Each perfume is housed in a stunning satin-lined black lacquer box complete with lock and key. Inside, the thick glass bottle bears an engraved plate and beautifully embossed sides featuring an Achilles shield design.
