Generous, spirited and explosive, this Parfum asserts its strength and impetuousness. The striking new take on Layton is a deep, rich and woody fragrance for the connoisseur looking to make an impression. Top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and apple softly envelope the heart of cinnamon, lavender, agarwood and geranium. The base is concluded by guaiac wood, sensual vanilla and sweet cypriol. A revival on the traditional yet refined in its scent.
Inspiration: On turbulent seas, an inescapably transient pirate ship braves black waters, leagues deep in mystery. Black Phantom “Memento Mori” reveals its hidden treasures to the curious nose in waves.
Fragrance story: Rum accord from Martinique, akin to ‘pirates water’, spikes the scent of strong coffee at its heart, balanced by vetiver essence. A deadly bite of cyanide accord hides menacingly, like the smile from death itself. Smile back as sugar cane and dark, creamy sandalwood assures a trying journey holds a sweet reward.
Key notes: Rum, Coffee, Cyanide
Olfactive Family: Cellars – Woods in all their forms – from sandalwood to cedarwood, from patchouli to Vetyver – but always with a Kilian twist: rum, coffee, cacao, cognac, whisky, as a reminder of Kilian Hennessy's heritage.
Inspiration: Moments of ecstasy envelop the senses with Straight to Heaven, white cristal.

Inspiration: The pearl, a precious gemstone valued for its beauty and ancestral to the culture of Doha is given an exquisitely modern interpretation.
Fragrance story: Like the ideal pearl, Pearl Oud is round and smooth–a cocktail of spicy saffron and black pepper glow with iridescent powdery iris at the opening. The pearls’ opulent nature is realized at the heart, with a lush bouquet of jasmine, Turkish rose and ylang ylang. Pearl Oud reveals a rare drydown, with an intense animalic blend of Indian oud, precious patchouli and castoreum.
Key notes: Iris, Oud, Ylang Ylang
Olfactive Family: Smokes – Figurative or abstract, Kilian’s smokes capture the timeless scent of Bakhoor, incense, tobacco.
KILIAN pushes two of its heritage fragrances to their olfactive extremes.
Kilian Hennessy’s Inspiration : Take the uninhibited whirlwind of flowers in Good girl gone Bad and envelope it in a luscious, milky facet.
The Perfume: It opens with a pink and white bouquet of roses of May, and the most beautiful orange blossoms carried by the song of three sirens, calling from its core: tuberose, Egyptian jasmine sambac, and narcissus. These exquisite flowers are wrapped in a milky toffee elixir, making them half-innocent, half-voluptuous, and now—a delicious temptress altogether.
Top notes: Aldehydes, Ozonic Citrusy Accord Heart notes: Karismal Super, Floral Fantasy Base notes: Ambroxan, Musk T, Mineral Accord
Main notes: Aldehyde, Ozonic and Mineral Accords

Mix & Match
Like Yin & Yang, 1/.4 and 1/.5 are interdependent, mutually enhancing one another. Each one brings richness in its own right, and while one unveils Nature’s brute strength, the other unfurls a powerful ethereal and creative energy.
All together they form an olfactive synergy, a circulation of a breath which connects natural to synthetic raws in a delicate and full fragrance, subtle and deep at the same time.

A first in perfumery and originating from Kerala, TURMERIC has been used for the first time in a perfume by AFFINESSENCE. A milky note enhances the precious turmeric root, causing an explosion of the delicious spicy aromas of « Turmeric Latte », a beverage that has been drunk for thousands of years in India and also known as Golden Milk. While Myrrh, Sandalwood and Patchouli offer their distinctive scents, a wonderful note of full-grain LEATHER takes over the composition, imposing its powerful animal character. Delicious luxury and sultry sensuality compete with one another in this addictive bouquet with its bold scent.

Known for its distinctive scent, AMBERGRIS is even more precious when « aged » as its qualities are enhanced after floating for years under the sun of the Pacific Ocean. AFFINESSENCE has chosen the exceptional quality of this scent, using it generoulsy enough to express its powers of irresistible attraction. While AMBERGRIS diffuses an animal warmth and a mineral freshness, a burst of Black Musk and White Truffle accentuate the « hot and cold » effect, creating a tingling sensation. Yerba Mate, Patchouli and Vetiver from Haiti highlight the exuberant scent of this striking that you’ll want to breathe in until overdose.

Fragrance story: Rolling in Love is a musc de peau, capturing the sensation of feeling so high on love that it seems to almost “get under the skin.” Working with perfumer Pascal Gaurin, Kilian Hennessy took an entirely new direction. Rolling in Love is more direct and less faceted than his previous fragrances—almost “monochromatic” in its focused representation of a single emotion. Rolling in Love is a “white” scent, layering different textures along the scent’s trail with notes of ambrette seeds, almond milk, iris, and musk.
Key notes: Almond milk, iris, musk.
Olfactive Family: Narcotics – From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.
7753 stands for the dimensions of Mona Lisa painting for this perfume is not the perfume of an image, nor the mere perfume of a woman past – is the perfume of the woman. It is the scent of an emotion, of this undecipherable glance, of her unexplainable beauty, of her immersive power and her drawing us in. It is the perfume of our own enthrallment. A hidden number for a hidden smile.
A glimmering glance of bright Citruses, the elusive Mona one descries through a sfumato of Vetiver and Galbanum. Voluptuous Tuberose and Heliotrope virtuous.
'Tis a smile alluring with an air of Spices.
