KILIAN is a fragrance brand created by Kilian Hennessy. When launching his brand, Kilian’s goal was to put perfumery back on its pedestal and return it to its former glory, the way perfumery existed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While maintaining this sense of eternity, it was also very important for Kilian to add a contemporary twist. Kilian Hennessy’s brand reflects his personality and achieves a perfect alliance between elegance and uncompromising luxury.

Frédéric Malle introduced Editions de Parfums in 2000, as a completely original concept whereby the world’s greatest noses composed exclusive, creative fragrances that would be sold under their creators' names. In an era in which most companies attach more importance to brand names, Malle brings the attention back to the product itself: perfume.
