Inspired by Oriental treasures, created by Guerlain’s Perfumer
For this powerful and contrasted creation, Thierry Wasser, Guerlain’s master Perfumer, drew inspiration from the noble material that is leather.
As an exclusive raw material, leather is part of a thousand-year tradition in Orient. With this fragrance, Thierry Wasser pays tribute to its strength, its softness and its sensuality. In its creation, the Perfumer builds diversity between the powerful woody leathery notes and the luminous osmanthus flower with its light fruity apricot facets.

Introducing a new olfactive family, Kilian Hennessy pays tribute to his heritage, as heir to the renowned French cognac-making family, and to his choice olfactory intoxicants for driving the night towards dawn. A first-time collaboration with French perfumer Benoit Lapouza, the perfume Angel’s Share is Kilian Hennessy’s most personal fragrance creation yet, inspired by his eighth-generation inheritance of Hennessy savoir-faire in cognac making. The perfume goes deep into the cellars of founder’s mind and memory, and into its most mysterious dimension: “la part des anges” or “angels’ share”— an evaporation of liquor in oak barrels that lifts, while aging, like a silent offering to the gods.
The Perfume: Much like a Master Perfumer who crafts accords and essences in a perfume, a Master Blender combines the eaux-de-vie in perfect proportions for an exceptional cognac. Angels’ Share contains the essence of Cognac derived from the liquor to lend it a natural caramel color. Opening with cognac oil, upon a blend of oak absolute, cinnamon essence and Tonka bean absolute, the scent’s long-lasting notes of sandalwood, praline and vanilla make for a delicious finish, a rare concoction only angels should experience.
With his brand new olfactory family, Kilian Hennessy wishes to pay tribute to his heritage as heir to the famous French family of cognac producers and to its olfactory intoxicating substances that prolong the night until dawn . For his first collaboration with perfumer Franck Voelkl, Kilian Hennessy wanted to recreate the taste of a “gin on the rocks” with a hint of lime, his wife’s favorite drink.
The perfume :Roses, cucumber, and a few notes of distilled gin are in the spotlight… The Roses on Ice fragrance opens with the aquatic freshness of cucumber and the aromatic effervescence of juniper berries, creating an icy sensation, which s ’rounded in a voluptuous accord of Rose Centifolia. With its base notes of sandalwood and musk, the fragrance expresses the lively yet deeply infused character of gin.
