The very first creation in the “Les Eaux de l’âme” trilogy, Beauté du Diable by Liquides Imaginaires is a perfume that is both dark and sweet, its smoky and spicy, slightly retro notes accompany us day and night, creating a trail intriguing and seductive for all who cross our path.
Inspired by the citiy of Paris, KILIAN PARIS introduces its new addition to the Liquors olfactive family: L’Heure Verte, an olfactive soundtrack to nightlife’s liberation to come. L’Heure Verte is named after the traditional French equivalent of ‘Happy Hour’, that early evening window of time when absinthe was served upon sugar into a glass and swirled with a spoon in a slow-paced ritual. The liquid turns pastel green; this hue reappears in L’Heure Verte’s own perfume elixir, an entirely naturally derived color: tender like a Parisian haze, or a Van Gogh painting come to life.
The Perfume:
Absinthe essence opens L’Heure Verte with an instant head twist into a nostalgic heart of violet leaf and licorice root absolute. Its dry-down articulates a unique and precisely chosen facet of patchouli that resonates throughout, and blends into a trio of earthy woods along with vetiver and sandalwood. A first-time collaboration between Founder Kilian Hennessy and French perfumer Mathieu Nardin, L’Heure Verte expresses Paris at its best—indulgent and life-changing in its luxuries and wonderful illusions.
Perfume notes:
Absinthe, Violet Leaf and Patchouli
This is a delightful incense floral with a warm resinous base.
The frankincense and amber create a beautiful warm temple / church vibe, unfurling into a rich floral heart of Indian tuberose and rose.
Absinthe and elemi and pink pepper add hedonistic make a slightly medicinal top note balanced with a spicy, woody and slightly sweet base.
INSPIRATION

The signature perfumes are inspired by the Côte d’Azur, and the beauty of the raw materials harvested in its center, Grasse. They all have a strong olfactive signature, while remaining breezy and infused with light. They bloom on skin, are long lasting and memorable. They’re all part luminosity, part mystery.
The night blankets the city of Paris. A colorful beam of light bursts from the Moulin Rouge. Inside, the cabaret comes to life. People begin to whisper, abuzz with anticipation. Champagne glasses clink and the curtains rise. The music builds, and in a cloud of feathers and sequins, the dancers make their entrance. Let the spectacle of senses begin!
Spicy Cinnamon warmly mixes with Sugar and melts into Absinthe, while Rose of Damascus releases her sensuality, playfully seducing each spectator with her allure. The audience and dancers each play different roles but the music ties them together for a night of revelry and excitement. The enchantment never stops – time stands still in the Moulin Rouge.
The show ends and the curtain falls, but the party never ends. Backstage, mirrors reflect silhouettes laughing. The smell of Iris Powder and Lipstick float out to the streets on a cloud of Musk and Patchouli. The memory and scent of this unforgettable night lingers through the morning.
This is a woody and leather fougère fragrance inspired by the sombre mood of an existential journey. Both alluring and philosophical, this fragrance defies conventions and moves beyond sense and reason.
