Free KILIAN Samples

Kilian Hennessy founded Kilian in 2008 with a desire to make perfumes that were innovative yet steeped in classical traditions. Raised in the heart of luxury goods, as part of a family deeply involved in LVMH, Hennessy had a natural fascination with scent. He spent time exploring different disciplines before deciding to pursue perfumery and honing his skills at International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF). After launching several successful niche lines, Hennessy set his sights on starting something entirely his own. Naming the line after himself pays homage to the heritage and legacy of his family, whose roots date back to beyond the Middle Ages. At once old and new, Kilian seeks to reinterpret classic, elegant fragrances into modern statements for a discerning audience. Incorporating cutting-edge techniques, unexpected twists, and imaginative storytelling, the brand has garnered a devoted following among beauty aficionados and industry insiders alike. Described as "couture" or "haute joaillerie" fragrances due to their attention to detail and meticulousness, every aspect of the brand represents a fusion between tradition and daring audacity. Each composition is carefully composed by some of the most respected noses in the business and presented in striking packages designed by award-winning agencies. Kilian continues to surprise, delight, and challenge expectations, making it truly unique and desirable in the crowded field of luxury fragrances.
