Kilian

Founded in 2007 by Kilian Hennessy, a descendant of the renowned cognac dynasty, Kilian Paris is a luxury house that seamlessly blends French tradition with a dark, cinematic modernity. The brand is built on a philosophy of "eco-luxury," pioneering the concept of "perfume as an object of art" with signature refillable flacons designed to last a lifetime. Drawing heavily from his family's heritage, Hennessy often incorporates the "angels' share"—the evaporation of liquor in cellars—into his olfactory signature, resulting in rich, boozy masterpieces like the cognac-infused viral sensation Angels' Share and the rum-chocolate intrigue of Black Phantom. Famous for seductive, narrative-driven collections like "The Narcotics"—home to the marshmallow-sweet icon Love, Don't Be Shy (famously worn by Rihanna)—Kilian delivers opulent, high-impact fragrances designed to act as invisible armor for the night.
