Overview of Kilian Brand

Kilian Hennessy was born in 1972 into the Hennessy cognac family, so he grew up in a business built on aging, blending, and taste. He didn’t go into cognac, though. He went into perfume, working for big fragrance names like Paco Rabanne and Christian Dior before deciding to start his own brand. In 2007, he launched Kilian Paris, also sold as By Kilian, to make luxury perfumes that people would want to own for the long term.

Kilian Paris stood out quickly, mainly because of the packaging. Each perfume came in a black lacquer coffret with a refillable bottle, so buyers could refill the same bottle instead of buying a new one.
