The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Kilian launched in 2007 from Paris. The founder, Kilian Hennessy, is a cognac heir who built a fragrance house. They make luxury perfumes and scented products. Good Girl Gone Bad established Kilian's reputation for provocative, high-alcohol compositions. The brand became famous for refillable fragrance bottles and sustainability practices. Today Kilian operates globally, positioning itself in the ultra-premium segment. The house appears across 21,133 tracked brands and ranks eleventh in Beauty and Personal Care. Hennessy's lineage gave credibility to a niche focused on craftsmanship and excess.
