An ode to endless summers, the year-round delectable Santal Complet celebrates the versatility of one of fragrance’s great ingredients. Buttery sandalwood lends an undeterred elegance to this soft, sensual, meditative perfume, famed for its laidback spirit but renowned for its indelible olfactory influence. Paradise beckons in the opening notes of exotic coconut and drizzled lemon before the heat rises in an unfettered heart of violet and black pepper. Indulgent amber, musk and sweet vanilla sign off this virtual voyage to sun-drenched shores.
Crafted as an overpainting, Interlude Black Iris uses a refined palette to smoothen the facets of the original creation. A complex interplay of dark stoic serenity and buried vibrant power bursting upwards, into the light..
Carla Lavender, an exceptional variety grown in Provence, shakes up the sensual and enveloping Vanilla Tahitensis by infusing it with its audacity and freshness. Sambac Jasmine, gathered at sunrise, gives this composition all of its finesse. Album Sandalwood expresses strength and preserves the mystery of eternal femininity.
DESCRIPTION
Mon Guerlain, the House’s new fragrance, is a tribute to today’s femininity –
a strong, free and sensual femininity, inspired by Angelina Jolie.
My invisible tattoo, my fragrance, Mon Guerlain.
The fresh oriental fragrance enhances exceptional raw materials: Carla Lavender from Provence, Sambac Jasmine from India, Album Sandalwood from Australia and Vanilla Tahitensis from Papua New Guinea. It expresses the quintessence of a history replete with experiences, nourished by success, expertise and generosity, all infused with the same passion since 1828.
The “quadrilobe” bottle, created in 1908, established itself as one of Guerlain’s iconic bottles. Simple and graphic, it echoes an alchemist’s bottle and owes its name “quadrilobe” to its stopper, which is formed from one piece to obtain a shape resembling four lobes. One century later, beautifully enhanced by a luxurious glass weight and a golden adornment, this bottle offers a contrast between strong taut lines and sensual curves, expressing contemporary femininity.
Fruity Floral Harmony

Fragrance story: Forbidden Games is a tempting honey-drizzled peach sprinkled with cinnamon bark from Laos, that begs to be bitten. An irresistible floral nectar heart, comprised of Bulgarian rose orpur, geranium bourbon and midnight jasmine, is contained in a confection of sinfully delicious Madagascar vanilla, Laotian honey and spellbinding resinous oil of opoponax.
Key notes: Orange Blossom, Osmanthus, Tuberose
Olfactive Family: Narcotics – From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.
Perfumer: Calice Becker
DETAILS
The perfume Forbidden Games is part of the KILIAN Narcotics family. From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.
A lot of attention is taken in each bottle of KILIAN refillable perfume, to make them real precious objects. The perfume bottles of the narcotics family are adorned with a distinctive white lacquer and their bottle has been meticulously engraved on each side, with the representation of the Achilles shield. Like Kilian Hennessy says : « In perfumery, it is as much about seduction as it is about protection”. A gold metal plate on which the name of the perfume is engraved by hand adds an extra touch of sophistication. These details bring to the KILIAN creation a guarantee of luxury, that should not be ephemeral, but should last a lifetime. That’s why the bottle of this cellar perfume can be refilled indefinitely.
At the fore, an emphatic reinterpretation of rose; pure, streamlined, uncompromisingly modern. Blended with a unique extraction of timut pepper, geranium bourbon and a note of cassis for freshness and spice.
Yet a quiet storm lies beneath: vetiver and cedar forms an earthy bed of dark, mysterious leather with IsoButyl Quinoline at the center – an intensely bitter molecule, largely forgotten since its use in the daring perfumery of the Jazz Age.
At once sparkling and sober, a recognisably floral composition is shadowed by a dramatic, yet controlled sensuality.
An initial impression of innocence and flower-shop freshness disperses to reveal a more lustful tuberose: these dark and spicy notes surrender in turn to ones of milky comfort, enhanced by white musk, to draw out tuberose’s aura of lingering sensuality.
Erotic flower.
Carnal Flower contains by far the highest concentration of natural tuberose in the perfume industry.
An olfactive escape to a place of freedom and oblivion where nature overpowers all senses.
Top Notes: Mint, Orange Blossom, Galbanum.
Heart Notes: Vetiver, Moss, Ivy.
Base Notes: Patchouli, Myrrh, Dry Woods.
Mémoires de Mustique is a tribute to those who have shared the magic of this unique Caribbean island and for those who once dreamed of being part of something unique. Mémoires de Mustique scent is born from the encounter between a masterpiece of Albert Fouquet and the reminiscences of the magnificent and exclusive island of Mustique through its crystalline waters, the eternity of its sunsets and its landscapes unchanged throughout history. A trip to the past to capture its essence in its purest form.
Godolphin seduces with remarkable refinement. This distinguished scent is composed of complex and deep aromas which are artfully blended to create a sophisticated and masculine experience. Opening with fresh notes of thyme, spicy saffron and cypress, the fragrance is anchored by rose, iris and jasmine. The narrative concludes with heady woody notes of white cedarwood, vetiver leather, musk, amber and vanilla.
With a single bite, you can feel the mango in your veins. Wild colors, endless skies and untamed happiness: breathtaking South Africa becomes the backdrop for this expressionist burst of blackberries, mango and black pepper. A ripe fruit that reveals its complex flavors — a cocktail of wild orris, black lotus and jasmine that leaves behind patchouli, vanilla and a hint of pink sugar.
Top notes: Blackberries, Mango, Black Pepper.
Heart notes: Wild Orris, Black Lotus, Jasmin.
Base notes: Patchouli, Vanilla, Pink Sugar.
