A Cologne Elixir inspired by the Flower Market at Covent Garden which has been immortalised by George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion.
Created by perfumer Bruno Jovanovic, Fanfare is a melodic fantasy with a touch of impertinence exuding the spirit of contemporary British aesthetic.
It opens with a beguiling watery floral and citrus accord, which slowly becomes darker as the structure evolves and becomes more daring with the vermouth accord. Finally, the noble woods bring this dark depth to the structure of the fragrance.
Kilian Hennessy’s Inspiration: Founder Kilian Hennessy has been developing his own cologne for years, driven by a desire to get back to the roots of this classic fragrance genre. The result, a unique interpretation of cologne that takes you on an incredible sensory journey through freshness, intensity and time.
The Perfume: Kologne, Shield of protection, shield of protection revisits a classic for partying. With bright citrus notes, the Kologne, Shield of protection is a touch of freshness. The fragrance opens with refreshing notes of green mandarin, bitter orange and mint leading to a heart of rosemary and neroli. A woody trail is built around cedar, cashmeran and a unique “sap” accord of vegetal notes. Created as a protective shield, it is a perfume to spray around you like an aura of purity and vitality.
Fragrance Notes: Cedarwood, Rosemary, Green Mandarin
Olfactory Family:Fresh Citrus – Composed of citrus fruits, aldehydes or aquatic notes, they bring freshness, lightness and a feeling of serenity to Kilian’s compositions.

A lot of attention is taken in each bottle of KILIAN refillable perfume, to make them real precious objects. The perfume bottles of the fresh family are adorned with a distinctive Klein blue lacquer and their bottle has been meticulously engraved on each side, with the representation of the Achilles shield. Like Kilian Hennessy says: “In perfumery, it is as much about seduction as it is about protection.” A silvery metal plate on which the name of the perfume is engraved by hand adds an extra touch of sophistication.These details bring to the KILIAN creation a guarantee of luxury, that should not be ephemeral, but should last a lifetime.That’s why the bottle of this fresh perfume can be refilled indefinitely.

INSPIRATION
With great flourish and a fanfare of flutes, drums and trumpets, Emperor Severus served caviar to the most revered guests in garlands of roses.
And he wasn’t alone. Emperor Nero was famous for his hedonism, he was a true epicurean and a connoisseur with a great appetite and extravagant tastes including caviar a timeless luxury.
At Frapin, we work and live far from the major cities. Our personal and professional lives follow the circadian rhythm of days and nights, the changing of the seasons, the wind blowing in the trees.
This closeness to nature sustains us more than one might think. We model nature and are modelled by it, surrounded as we are by meadows, vines, rivers and woods.
This proximity is the hallmark of our style, our essence, our elegance. We admire wood, work it, drink it and smell it. This wood is our age-old wisdom. We listen to its lessons and secrets. Its verticality shows us the only way forward, that of ascending. It is at times hot, enveloping, aromatic or deep. It strongly underscores our style; that of Bois Blanc.

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.

From the writings of Machiavelli to Shakespeare, the powers surrounding the mandrake are legendary. The mystical root was said to divert lightning and was used to make love potions. In the back of a workshop, through a thin vapor of star anise and patchouli, a purple liquid bubbles from an alembic. The mandrake elixir works its magic and unfurls its mysterious, aromatic fragrance.
