Inspired by Kilian Hennessy: “A gentleman is someone who never hurts the feelings of others – without doing so on purpose”, the visionary Oscar Wilde once wrote about this category of men who are not ashamed of be themselves, feel no remorse because they are endowed with perfect confidence. Their personality is their charm asset; they please only those whose refinement they share.
The smoked perfume Dark Lord – “EX TENEBRIS LUX” is part of the Volutes de Fumées KILIAN PARIS family of perfumes. A timeless selection of incense, bakhoor and tobacco leaf fragrances that capture the natural and refined aromas of authentic swirls of smoke.
Great attention is placed in each KILIAN PARIS refillable perfume bottle, to make them real precious objects. The perfumes of the Volutes de Fumées family are decorated with a very recognizable black lacquer and their bottle has been meticulously engraved on each side, with the representation of the shield of Achilles. As Kilian Hennessy points out: “In perfumery, it’s as much about seduction as it is about protection.” A silver metal plate on which the name of the perfume is hand-engraved brings an additional touch of sophistication.
These details brought to the creation of KILIAN PARIS refillable bottles are guarantees of a luxury that should not be ephemeral, but should last a lifetime. This is why the bottle of this fresh fragrance is refillable indefinitely.
The beautiful, 60 carat pink diamond Noorolain Tiara has inspired this elegant rose fragrance.
Its signature note, the Taif Rose is especially prized in perfumery for its rarity. The rose itself has 30 petals and only grows around
the city of Taif. It takes around 40,000 flowers to produce one 10g bottle of this rose oil, since only the petals are used.
A grand perfume that wraps around you like a cashmere veil… A perfume like no other, in many ways timeless and hard to describe with words. No.12 perfectly embodies the DNA of Puredistance: timelessly beautiful, elegant and very distinctive in character.
Jan Ewoud nicknamed No.12: ‘Beauty in Blue’. Dressed up in a rich tone of blue, he found it the perfect perfume to complete the MAGNIFICENT XII COLLECTION. No.12 is complex, rich, hard to define, full of character, long lasting in every way and aristocratic without arrogance or pretension.
This sensuous and rich oriental rose opens with a fruity and fragrant bolt of cardamom, bergamot, orange, pine and ginger and melts into a sensual floral heart of rose, jasmine and cognac.
The guaic and tonka make the base slightly sweet and resinous blended with fragrant woods and light incense. This is a charming and versatile oriental rose.

Fragrance Notes & Description
Inspiration: “A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone’s feeling—unintentionally,” the quixotic Oscar Wilde once noted of the elite race of men who are shamelessly, unapologetically themselves and with perfect aplomb. They charm by their character, and please only those who are refined enough to receive them.
Fragrance story: DARK LORD ‘EX TENEBRIS LUX’ is a gentleman of the night. Meet him in the most surprising of circumstances and his mystery slowly unfolds: A head-twisting mix of shadows and light, it seduces in seconds with its elegant, long-lasting accords of leather and strong vetiver, its jasmine drenched in rum, and a dandyish entrance of bergamot and pepper. From darkness, into light.
Key notes: Pepper, Jasmine, Vetiver
Olfactive Family: Smokes – Figurative or abstract, Kilian’s smokes capture the timeless scent of Bakhoor, incense, tobacco.
Perfumer: Alberto Morillas
Beginning and ending with the unique scent of black hemlock absolute – rarely used in such luscious quality and quantity – this utterly hypnotic, unconventional and mysterious woody essence is combined with jasmine and violet absolute to create a dusky, seductive perfume.
Every spring, Albert Fouquet went from Antibes on the French Rivera to the home of Alessandro and Chiara to share with them the splendid spectacle of colours and the wonderful aromas. Some months later, when Alessandro and Chiara were already settled in the Philippines, they were surprised by the best present that they could receive from their good friend.
An unique perfume that contained the freshness and the beauty of Provence.
