The ‘Must-Have’ Luxury Perfume: Kilian


 

Kilian couldn’t be anything further from a generic perfume line, so refined and elegant with a longevity that means you do not have to keep reapplying throughout the day.

 

When it comes to luxury perfumes, look no further than French perfumery Kilian. Brand owner Kilian Hennessy is hier to the cognac-making family Hennessy and his family’s business is apparent through the sweet smells of sugary alcohol and notes of wooden cognac barrels throughout his perfumes. With a mantra of going back to the truth about perfume and the way it was made in the late 19th and early 20th century, Killian has quickly becoming the ‘go-to’ name in luxury perfumery.

Launching his brand in 2007, Kilian was determined to be an ‘eco-luxe’ brand, with the idea that true luxury should last forever (his customers can keep their perfume bottles for a lifetime and continuously bring them back to be refilled). Each of his 35 perfumes are dominant in character and bring with them a sensuality fit for any women. Our personal favorite is ‘Musk Oud’ from the Arabian Nights collection (Oh how divine it is!). Kilian describes this intoxicating smell as a combination of syrupy rose and geranium petals, silken musk and spices meshed together to create a smooth seductive rum-filled scent (an ode to his family’s cognac business).

Kilian couldn’t be anything further from a generic perfume line, so refined and elegant with a longevity that means you do not have to keep reapplying throughout the day (and as each bottle runs around £230 it is comforting to know you’ll have a perfume that will last a while). Along with the impressive array of dreamy bottled perfumes, Kilian also offers fragrances for the home. From scented candles to tassels to hang in your car and even scented paper weights there’s no going wrong in indulging in this fragrance heaven. If the smell alone doesn’t do it for you, the presentation and chicness of the brand definitely will. Kilian has easily become one of our favorite perfume brands and truly represents what it means to be a luxury perfume brand.
