LEGEND, ICON, FOUNDER KILIAN HENNESSY is in the Perfume Room this week! Heir to the Hennessy dynasty, Kilian has given new meaning to the family name: PERFUME.
Founded almost two decades ago, Kilian Parfums was one of the early luxury niche brands to emerge, and one that's shaped and laid the blueprint for so many brands that have followed.
Today we chat about everything from his family, to his unlikely path to perfumery, what it takes for him to launch a new fragrance, the discontinued gems of Kilian Parfums, the current amber woods epidemic, and so much more.
Full video coming later this week on Substack!
