Kilian is heir to a long line of cognac-makers that were pioneers in luxury, the grandson of the founder of The LVMH Group, Kilian has decided to take up the torch of family tradition. Kilian has trained with some of the most distinguished of Perfume Houses such as Dior, McQueen and Armarni before launching his very unique and luxurious brand in 2007.
The latest collection, stocked exclusively at Harvey Nichols, is named “Arabian Nights” and it does not fail to impress, maintaining high level of decadence throughout. The collection is made up of 7 fragrances with poetic names such as Beyond Love, Love and Tears, and Straight to Heaven. Absinthe, Mediterranean Jasmine, Turkish Rose and Rose of Grasse are just some of the exotic scents used to infuse these fabulous creations.
It is Kilian's attention to detail, however that really sets him apart to other Perfume Houses. This is down to the hand painted, 5 times black lacquered wooden boxes and hand stitched satin, in which the fragrance is presented. These are not items you could possibly throw away, which is Kilian’s belief in what a luxury item should be, something that permanently takes centre stage on your dressing table.
