Sunkissed Goddess opens with its main, opulent accord of creamy white
Tiara Flowers and sensual Ylang-Ylang essence. It leads into the accord’s
heart, a full and warm body of Coconut and Vanilla, finishing with notes of
Guaiac Wood and Cistus Labdanum—both olfactive signatures of KILIAN
PARIS for their resinous, deeply vibrant, and long-lasting appeal.
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.
