AMBER, CHYPRE
A deep and smokey amber perfume with floral flourishes, inspired by this key design material of the era. A warm amber, spiced with aromatic and smokey blonde tobacco tells the story of Art Deco decadence. A riot of flourishing florals and dried fruits join the melee of fine ingredients, creating an indulgent blend.
A romantic and dynamic story of the Art Deco period is bought to life in pure perfume pleasure.
Fresh jungle on the side of a volcano,
ENCELADE is a powerful and captivating fragrance.
Ambivalence of a perfume of shadow and light which playfully plays with its paradoxes.
The primordial rhubarb, cedar and vetiver accord expresses the scent of earth, of sap, the image of lush nature. Green and woody notes mingled with the crash of smoked and animal leather.
Milky sandalwood and tonka bean add sensuality and addiction to the skin.
The pure seduction of a fragrance with wild magnetism.
Inspired by Kilian Hennessy: “A gentleman is someone who never hurts the feelings of others – without doing so on purpose”, the visionary Oscar Wilde once wrote about this category of men who are not ashamed of be themselves, feel no remorse because they are endowed with perfect confidence. Their personality is their charm asset; they please only those whose refinement they share.
Fragrance Notes: Vetiver Essence, Bergamot Essence, Pepper Essence, Rum Accord, Jasmine Absolute, Cypriol Essence.
Olfactory family: Swirls of smoke
Perfumer: Alberto Morillas
The smoked perfume Dark Lord – “EX TENEBRIS LUX” is part of the Volutes de Fumées KILIAN PARIS family of perfumes. A timeless selection of incense, bakhoor and tobacco leaf fragrances that capture the natural and refined aromas of authentic swirls of smoke.
Great attention is placed in each KILIAN PARIS refillable perfume bottle, to make them real precious objects. The perfumes of the Volutes de Fumées family are decorated with a very recognizable black lacquer and their bottle has been meticulously engraved on each side, with the representation of the shield of Achilles. As Kilian Hennessy points out: “In perfumery, it’s as much about seduction as it is about protection.” A silver metal plate on which the name of the perfume is hand-engraved brings an additional touch of sophistication.
These details brought to the creation of KILIAN PARIS refillable bottles are guarantees of a luxury that should not be ephemeral, but should last a lifetime. This is why the bottle of this fresh fragrance is refillable indefinitely.
“Haltane is a fragrance for a gentleman of today, inspired by the gentilhommes of the Chateau de Marly in the 18th century.”
Julien Sprecher, Founder and Artistic Director of Parfums de Marly.
Haltane is an original scent of both radiance and shadow. Its composition features a blend of rare and noble ingredients which revisit the tradition of 18th century French perfume making.
Its dazzling freshness and herbal top notes quickly yield a warm and smooth sense of leather with a symphony of precious woods. Soft and sweet, escorted by saffron, its praline accord is an ultra-contemporary spin on the mythical oudwood.
Agarwood emerges in this veil of contrasts and imprints the skin with luminous refinement for endur-ing comfort. A privilege that is all about sensation.
Warm/Floral (30% concentration)
The beautiful, 60 carat pink diamond Noorolain Tiara has inspired this elegant rose fragrance.
Its signature note, the Taif Rose is especially prized in perfumery for its rarity. The rose itself has 30 petals and only grows around
the city of Taif. It takes around 40,000 flowers to produce one 10g bottle of this rose oil, since only the petals are used.
Gourmand/ Ambery (25% concentration)
THE STORY: Famed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, The Amber Room was presented to Peter the Great by the King of Prussia. Glowing at the heart of Catherine Palace near St Petersburg, the chamber was lined entirely with amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors. When lit with more than five hundred candles it was reputed to glow like trapped sunshine and fiery gold. Created by melting together amber, Cognac and honey, its history and brilliance has inspired the creation of this fragrance.
THE FRAGRANCE: Smoky, warm and glowing, the heady amber, as seductive as its inspiration, is lit with Italian bergamot, sensual Turkish rose and warmed through with spices, cinnamon and cedar wood. Glowing.
Woody/Oud (30% concentration)
THE STORY: Solah Shringar is a 16 stage ritual to prepare royal women for public appearance. Indian royalty were considered somewhere between man and God and this ritual adornment with perfumes and jewels created something of a super-human presence. The name itself comes from temple designs and decorations and the image of the women, once decorated, as a perfect, carved goddess. A unique Oud was selected from the South of India, one of the highest quality Oud oils, it is both angular and edgy.
THE FRAGRANCE: The unique Oud from the South of India, angular and sweetly edgy, dictates this heavenly scent. The top note blends beautifully with cedar wood and guaiac. At the base, a pure patchouli and sunbaked vetivert add depth and warmth polished off by a smooth, temperate musk. Divine.
Envelop yourself in a fragrance that’s as daring and irresistible as your liaisons. Secret Tryst is a new, intoxicating perfume for those who crave passion with a sense of adventure.
Wake up your senses to the invigorating notes of bergamot and citrus and submit to sensual cedarwood.

Secret Tryst – because once is never enough.
A scent for all seasons, Solstis charts the celestial energy of the longest and shortest days, closing chapters and heralding new beginnings.
Crisp apple and citrus notes evoke sultry summers, while spicy pink pepper adds a rosy, romantic nuance. Meanwhile, earthy spices and zesty white florals intertwine, submitting to autumnal nutmeg, neroli and cardamom. The primal dance endures as Japanese vetiver mimics the intense aroma of fertile woods after rainfall. Milky green notes of sensual sandalwood and a dash of vanilla linger as the depths of winter loom.
Aromatic and magnetic, this androgynous fragrance oscillates between light and passion, destined to envelop confident and unwaveringly stylish personalities. Its timeless notes include mysterious juniper berries, charismatic iris, and woody vetiver. Ideal for lovers of subtlety, this eau de toilette has the highest olfactory intensity of the Palazzo Nobile collection.
Woody Aromatic
In the beginning there’s vanilla, of course, but it’s an unexpected vanilla — subtle, ethereal, as if suspended, with a unique note of honeyed, powdery mimosa. Next comes a vanilla that’s gourmand but not heady, fruity but not baked, poised between a “real” vanilla ice cream and sweet promises that echo like languorous kisses. An unambiguous fragrance trail, conceived like a beckon, arousing the appetite, and casting a spotlight on whoever wears it. Whether your personality is discreet or, to the contrary, completely intense, this perfume is made for those who wish never to go unnoticed again.
“By day, I wear it like a signature: you know I’m there, my perfume identifies me. By night, it envelops me in sweet promises. It fills the space, slips into every corner of the mind — and makes others feel a void when I move away.” And if I’m no longer around and my absence has not yet become overpowering, it must be that I left something behind — a scarf, a jacket, a little bit of myself.”
Like poetry in motion – formulated slowly and with intent, this precious elixir is an awakening for the senses.
Honour 43 elevates Amouage’s heady white floral perfume inspired by Madame Butterfly to new heights. Presented in a 43% perfume oil concentration, a quartet of white flowers – Jasmine, Tuberose, Gardenia, Lily of the Valley – come together in a showstopping crescendo, revealing a more harmonized and smoother rendition of this iconic scent.
What makes HONOUR 43 WOMAN an “Exceptional Extrait”?
A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer lasting scent) – but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.

Kilian Hennessy’s Inspiration:
Inspired by the citiy of Paris, KILIAN PARIS introduces its new addition to the Liquors olfactive family: L’Heure Verte, an olfactive soundtrack to nightlife’s liberation to come. L’Heure Verte is named after the traditional French equivalent of ‘Happy Hour’, that early evening window of time when absinthe was served upon sugar into a glass and swirled with a spoon in a slow-paced ritual. The liquid turns pastel green; this hue reappears in L’Heure Verte’s own perfume elixir, an entirely naturally derived color: tender like a Parisian haze, or a Van Gogh painting come to life.
The Perfume:
Absinthe essence opens L’Heure Verte with an instant head twist into a nostalgic heart of violet leaf and licorice root absolute. Its dry-down articulates a unique and precisely chosen facet of patchouli that resonates throughout, and blends into a trio of earthy woods along with vetiver and sandalwood. A first-time collaboration between Founder Kilian Hennessy and French perfumer Mathieu Nardin, L’Heure Verte expresses Paris at its best—indulgent and life-changing in its luxuries and wonderful illusions.
