FRAGRANCE
After the bergamot top notes, L’Instant Magic reveals a musky floral with notes of freshness (rose, freesia). A trail of white musks worked as a “muscinade” (a nod to the celebrated Guerlinade) is warmed by wood and a touch of almond.
DESCRIPTION
L’Instant Magic transports you to a dream world, where the real world is transformed. With its immediately identifiable scent, it illustrates the instant when a dream suddenly becomes possible. L’Instant Magic is a light, soft fragrance, a mist that caresses on a bed of wood and musk.
Embrace your perfume in the mythical Bee Bottle.
Designed in 1853 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain for the Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoléon III, this precious bottle is adorned with the symbol of the Empire: the bee, which is now La Maison Guerlain’s emblem.
Fragrance story: Rolling in Love is a musc de peau, capturing the sensation of feeling so high on love that it seems to almost “get under the skin.” Working with perfumer Pascal Gaurin, Kilian Hennessy took an entirely new direction. Rolling in Love is more direct and less faceted than his previous fragrances—almost “monochromatic” in its focused representation of a single emotion. Rolling in Love is a “white” scent, layering different textures along the scent’s trail with notes of ambrette seeds, almond milk, iris, and musk.
Key notes: Almond milk, iris, musk.
Olfactive Family: Narcotics – From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.
Fragrance Notes & Description
Inspiration: “Love is life’s narcotic—its folly and its freshness. It is something we return to, in spite of ourselves, like any proper addiction,” says Kilian Hennessy.
Fragrance story: LOVE, don’t be shy EAU FRAÎCHE is a sweet treat for adults with its base of Marshmallow and Musk, yet it is more candid than the original LOVE, don’t be shy.

Structured like a delicate veil with its tender heart of florals such as Peony and Freesia, LOVE, don’t be shy EAU FRAÎCHE expresses the sensuality of the game of love.
Key notes: Neroli, Marshmallow, Musk

Details
Each KILIAN bottle is transformed into a precious object. Served in a flacon of frosted white with gold hardware, its aura is one of luxury and light. The bottle is engraved on its various sides with a ceramic fresco representing the Achille’s shield and decorated with a golden plate where the name of the fragrance has been carved and manually filled with white enamel.
Rich bouquets combine with fresh citrus notes in this romantic tribute to the serenity of British summertime.
Oil distilled from the juice of a hundred Bergamot Oranges delivers cascades of sunlight to every corner of this complex, sumptuous fragrance. Citrus notes are interspersed with the sugary elixir of Pineapple and Blueberry.
Jubilant florals compose a rich and sensuous middle. Soft, velvety petals from 170 Rose de Mai flowers make up each drop, joining a heady mix of Osmanthus, Jasmine, Purple Violet, Freesia, Orchid and Lily of the Valley.
Woodland base notes evoke England’s pastoral heritage, rousing the inner nymph. Warm, earthy notes of Patchouli and hand-harvested Oak Moss combine with Sandalwood, Cedar Wood and Musk.
Forest textures of Sandalwood and Cedar wood are elevated by an infusion of citrus and spice.
Peach and aromatic Lavender bridge the fruitiness of Petitgrain and pressed Citrus fruit with combined spices Rosemary, Black Pepper and Nutmeg, creating the perfect segue into a complex heart and base.
The heart packs a bold, herbaceous punch. True to its legacy in the military strategies of Emperor Nero, who used it to energize his troops, Clary Sage is infused with Jasmine, Neroli and Musk to give vitality and strength.
Arboreal notes of Cedar wood, Sandalwood and Freesia temper richer surface notes, planting the fragrance in the fertile English countryside and transporting wearers to the heart of the forest.
Ta´if is an intoxicating and audacious rose scent from the town of Ta´if which sits above the shores of the Red sea and overlooks the Arabian desert.

It is an opulent composition which makes a bold entrance and is confident enough to sweep everyone else to one side – a real belle of the ball.
