Both radiant and regal, this oud floral harmony is
centered around thousands of dried rose petals from
France and Morocco. The extraction of rose
essences and absolutes are blended to achieve a
hedonistic overdose of rich Turkish rose liqueur,
spiked with saffron.
Kilian Hennessy masterfully harmonizes the tempting
vanilla note, with the bakhoor accord (atlas cedar).
creating an olfactive addiction that one simply cannot
resist.
Heir to a long line of cognac makers who were pioneers in luxury, Kilian decided to take up the torch of family tradition. His childhood haunts included the family cellars in Cognac. Remembering the "angels’ share" as part of his heritage, he was led into the world of perfumery. The "angels’ share" is what the House of Hennessy calls the percentage that - inexplicably - evaporates from cognac cellars, like an offering to the gods. Many of Kilian’s fragrances today carry this childhood memory as they are reminiscent of the sugar in the alcohol and the wood of the cognac barrels.
