Inspired by Kilian Hennessy: MY KIND OF LOVE is a collection of delicious refillable perfumes with multiple notes and accords built around an unusual, surprising and instantly recognizable key ingredient.
The perfume: I DON’T NEED A PRINCE BY MY SIDE TO BE A PRINCESS.
It is a perfume that empowers the wearer. Gourmet with a kick, PRINCESS is like sipping a green tea mocha with a hint of ginger.
A gourmand, floral and fruity fragrance designed entirely as a variation on texture. A mille-feuille of flaky sweetness, softness, and sensuality. A sparkling and juicy opening of mandarin and Italian bergamot with a joyful orange blossom flower and blackcurrant heart leads to a flimsy delight of marshmallow and airy sweetness of Chantilly cream that are addictive. The ambrette and musk base notes add a carnal touch to the composition. A glowing delight.
On the skin, the noblest ingredients in perfumery unite with groundbreaking molecules in the exaltation of a deep pink bouquet, like its bottle. Chantilly cream, a signature note, brings softness and gourmandise. They say that the famous ‘milk cream’ was whipped up by Procopio, the inventor of gelato, in honor of the prince and future king Louis XV at another grand French castle – Chantilly. True to its passion for the 18th century, Marly has reinvented this very cosmetic note. Oriana, the story of a heroine with character and a hypnotic sillage.
Inspiration from Kilian Hennessy: A gourmet pleasure reserved for adults, the iconic Love, don’t be shy is taken to its EXTREME with an overdose of Bulgarian rose.
The Scent: From the olfactory family of Narcotic Flowers, Love, don’t be shy – EXTREME is such an addicting pleasure that sensitive souls are urged to refrain. A variation that underlines the original version, Love, don’t be shy, with a sublime crystallized floral aspect. Orange blossom and rose overdose make up a luminous elixir that no gourmet can resist. Its rose petals are hand-picked at dawn to capture the scent in all its intensity – an artisan detail that reaches the subconscious.
The Love, don’t be shy EXTREME fragrance is part of the KILIAN PARIS Narcotic Flowers family of fragrances.
Great care is taken in each KILIAN PARIS perfume bottle, to make them real precious objects. The white and gold perfume bottles of the narcotic flower family are adorned with a white lacquer and meticulously engraved on each side, with a motif interweaving door, snake, vine and apple – the symbols of original sin – allusion to fate. As Kilian Hennessy points out: “In perfumery, it is as much about seduction as it is about protection”. A golden metal plate on which is hand-engraved the name of the perfume brings an additional touch of sophistication.
