Kilian Me Softly
Have you ever found yourself sipping cocktails in a dimly lit Paris bar, when suddenly you pick up the scent of a man before he’s even in your sight line? No, we’re not talking about the unfortunate homme who has bathed himself in cheap cologne. That true gentleman that we speak of has a warm, subtle and undeniably intoxicating aroma. After exchanging numbers and perhaps goodnight kiss with your man of mystery, we suggest you thank Kilian Hennessy, grandson of the founder of LVMH, heir to the family’s successful cognac business and founder of the luxury perfume line By Kilian.
By Kilian’s superb collection of scents incorporate essences that are hallmarks of the Hennessy tradition including the warm smoky fragrances of cognac and the sugars in alcohol. The scents are sophisticated and often sexual, much like the majority of By Kilian’s customers.
The subtle complexity of Mr. Hennessy’s line can easily be explained by his impressive pedigree in the fragrance industry. Before launching By Kilian, he collaborated with some of the world’s most renowned perfumers at Alexander McQueen, Christian Dior and Giorgio Armani.
The fragrances of By Kilian are complimented beautifully by their luxurious packaging and branding. Kilian and his team have translated the sophisticated and seductive notes from the scents into beautiful slick, inky black bottles with black resign, patterned detailing.
While your friends in the West Village and the Upper East Side spritz themselves with Tom Ford and Creed, we suggest that you send an even more enchanting message from the 16eme arrondissement with By Kilian.
