Founded in 2007 by Kilian Hennessy, heir to the celebrated cognac dynasty within LVMH, the house of By Kilian Paris is the embodiment of absolute, enduring luxury — nothing ephemeral. Trained by the greatest “noses,” such as Jacques Cavallier, Kilian Hennessy transposed the sensibility and refinement of the world of spirits into that of fragrance. His creations are stories, often arranged into strong thematic collections that explore the dualities of life: sin and innocence, darkness and light, protection and seduction. True to his conviction that “true luxury should be eternal,” the house committed to sustainability from the very start, offering precious bottles that can be endlessly refilled.
Kilian Hennessy’s vision of luxury rests on the idea that “true luxury should be eternal.” This commitment is expressed in the bottle design through two major aspects:
• Endlessly refillable bottles: Every Maison Kilian fragrance bottle is designed to be refilled using “Refills.” This not only reduces environmental impact but also gives lasting life to the original bottle, regarded as a truly precious, collectible object.
• Symbolism and aesthetics: The bottles are lacquered and engraved with intricate motifs, symbolising the themes of each collection.
