Inspiration: Moments of ecstasy envelop the senses with Straight to Heaven, white cristal.
Fragrance story: Smoldering with addictive sensuality, a burning splash of rich dark rum defines the opening, its sweet gourmand chord is softened by creamy vanilla and dried fruit. Spicy patchouli pairs with the fresh, woodsy scent of cedarwood to finish, finding animalic harmony at long last.
Key notes: Patchouli, Nutmeg, Cedarwood
Olfactive Family: Cellars – Woods in all their forms – from sandalwood to cedarwood, from patchouli to Vetyver – but always with a Kilian twist: rum, coffee, cacao, cognac, whisky, as a reminder of Kilian Hennessy’s heritage.
Inspiration: The pearl, a precious gemstone valued for its beauty and ancestral to the culture of Doha is given an exquisitely modern interpretation.
Fragrance story: Like the ideal pearl, Pearl Oud is round and smooth–a cocktail of spicy saffron and black pepper glow with iridescent powdery iris at the opening. The pearls’ opulent nature is realized at the heart, with a lush bouquet of jasmine, Turkish rose and ylang ylang. Pearl Oud reveals a rare drydown, with an intense animalic blend of Indian oud, precious patchouli and castoreum.
Key notes: Iris, Oud, Ylang Ylang
Olfactive Family: Smokes – Figurative or abstract, Kilian’s smokes capture the timeless scent of Bakhoor, incense, tobacco.
KILIAN pushes two of its heritage fragrances to their olfactive extremes.
Kilian Hennessy’s Inspiration : Take the uninhibited whirlwind of flowers in Good girl gone Bad and envelope it in a luscious, milky facet.
The Perfume: It opens with a pink and white bouquet of roses of May, and the most beautiful orange blossoms carried by the song of three sirens, calling from its core: tuberose, Egyptian jasmine sambac, and narcissus. These exquisite flowers are wrapped in a milky toffee elixir, making them half-innocent, half-voluptuous, and now—a delicious temptress altogether.

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.
7753 stands for the dimensions of Mona Lisa painting for this perfume is not the perfume of an image, nor the mere perfume of a woman past – is the perfume of the woman. It is the scent of an emotion, of this undecipherable glance, of her unexplainable beauty, of her immersive power and her drawing us in. It is the perfume of our own enthrallment. A hidden number for a hidden smile.
A glimmering glance of bright Citruses, the elusive Mona one descries through a sfumato of Vetiver and Galbanum. Voluptuous Tuberose and Heliotrope virtuous.
'Tis a smile alluring with an air of Spices.
Create an explosion!
A rose diffracted into a scent of phenomenal power. An olfactory explosion with an intense emotional charge. An exhilaration of pure energy, climaxing into intoxication. An extraordinary fragrance in the true sense of the word.
From the first moment, rose rushes to the head and brings colour to the cheeks. As explosive as it is elusive, it expresses itself forcefully and fully embraces its ambiguities. Bright, with its shadows. Feminine and masculine. Soft, but ruthless. Like an adrenalin rush, Atomic Rose shows its extravagance to exalt its wearer.
An explosive equation
A Rose with the potency of Hedione HC. Driven by the iconic ingredient of the Carnal Blends collection, the queen of flowers enters another dimension. Heightened and magnified, it enacts its own revolution in an absolute and uncompromising fragrance.
Carnal Blends, intoxicating essences
Can perfume increase our power of attraction? For a long time, we have only been able to trust in our intuition to confirm this. Science did not recognise that scents have the capacity to trigger the production of sex hormones. Then a team of researchers from Bochum University in Germany proved that some odorous molecules can activate regions of the brain connected to libido. This singular link between scents, pleasure and sexuality is at the core of the Carnal Blends collection. This collection is firmly transgressive and plays on bold combinations to highlight its carnal notes with one aim in mind: to trigger emotions and heighten sexual attraction.
What is its secret ingredient?
Hedione HC; a molecule which is of floral origin, a compound found in the heart notes of jasmine and magnolia, that provides radiant and airy power to a fragrance. Hedione HC also activates a region of the brain related to pleasure and increased libido. Initio has made it the signature of Carnal Blends. This sensually open collection boasts fragrances that are much more than perfume. Sensual potions with immediate appeal that speak to our most unconscious and primal depths. An ode to our animality…
