Kilian

By Kilian is an eco-luxe parfum brand from Paris, created by Kilian Hennessy, the grandson of the founder of the LVMH group. The "H" in LVMH stands for Hennessy, the renowned cognac-making family. Kilian Hennessy grew up amidst the family’s wine cellars in Cognac, which greatly influenced his olfactory journey. After graduating with a degree in communications and language studies, where he wrote a thesis on the semantics of odors and the quest for a common language between gods and mortals, Kilian pursued his passion for perfumery. He trained with some of the greatest noses in the industry, honing his craft by creating perfumes for top fashion brands. This extensive background and deep-rooted passion for scent led to the creation of By Kilian, a brand that blends luxury with sustainability, offering unique and sophisticated fragrances.
