12 facts about KILIAN Paris
HERITAGE

Angels' Share
Discover Angels’ Share, our founder Kilian Hennessy’s most personal fragrance, inspired by his heritage of Hennessy savoir-faire in cognac making. This fragrance recreates the combination of Oak barrels seeped in sugar, alcohol and wood. A unique concoction that took him 14 years to create.
THE ICONIC GOOD GIRL GONE BAD BY KILIAN
When Good girl gone Bad by KILIAN was launched in 2012, Kilian Hennessy wanted it to be an olfactive metaphor for the original sin of the Garden of Eden. This fragrance echoes Eve, the 'good girl' created by God, to whom misfortunes befall her once she has tasted the forbidden fruit.

ICONIC BOTTLE & CARAFE DESIGN
