KILIAN PARIS
As the heir to a long line of cognac makers who have all been pioneers in luxury, Kilian Henessy decided to carry on the family tradition. Creating a new luxury brand was definitely a challenge worthy of his predecessors.
After graduating, he began his training with the best noses in the perfume world and then worked for some of the most prestigious perfume houses such as Christian Dior, Paco Rabanne, Alexander McQueen, and Giorgio Armani.
In 2007, Kilian launched his own brand with the ambition not only to reflect his distinctive personality but also to create a perfect alliance between elegance and uncompromising luxury. His "eco-luxe" philosophy—that each bottle can be refilled and last a lifetime—brought the brand to the top of the fragrance market and into a niche of its own.
"I want to put perfumery back on its pedestal by going back to the truth about perfume; back to the way perfume was made in the late 19th and the early 20th century, but adding a contemporary twist at the same time."
