Musk is notorious for having two faces: the pure and the wicked. Accentuating its binary character produces a perfume both innocent and irresistible, split between a clean cologne accord of lemon, bergamot and orange blossom, and a seductive white musk accord.
A show of innocence is not the perfume’s only source of trickery: its staggering concentration of musk overcomes the transient nature of an eau de cologne and renders the perfume indestructible.
An overdose of refined essence of bitter orange (or “bigarade”, as they say in Provence), embellished with cardamom and pink pepper on a woody base of hay and cedar, heralds a new generation of “eaux”.
A simple formula for an air of clean sophistication.
Cologne Bigarade is also available in a more concentrated form as Bigarade Concentrée.
Inspiration: The pearl, a precious gemstone valued for its beauty and ancestral to the culture of Doha is given an exquisitely modern interpretation.
Fragrance story: Like the ideal pearl, Pearl Oud is round and smooth–a cocktail of spicy saffron and black pepper glow with iridescent powdery iris at the opening. The pearls’ opulent nature is realized at the heart, with a lush bouquet of jasmine, Turkish rose and ylang ylang. Pearl Oud reveals a rare drydown, with an intense animalic blend of Indian oud, precious patchouli and castoreum.
Key notes: Iris, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang
Olfactive Family: Smokes – Figurative or abstract, Kilian’s smokes capture the timeless scent of Bakhoor, incense, tobacco.
Perfumer: Christiano Provenzano
More KILIAN craftsmanship details
The perfume Pearl Oud is part of the KILIAN Smokes family. Figurative or abstract, Kilian’s smokes capture the timeless scent of Bakhoor, incense, tobacco.
A lot of attention is taken in each bottle of KILIAN refillable perfume, to make them real precious objects. The perfume bottles of the smokes family are adorned with a distinctive black lacquer and their bottle has been meticulously engraved on each side, with the representation of the Achilles shield. Like Kilian Hennessy says: In perfumery, it is as much about seduction as it is about protection. A silver metal plate on which the name of the perfume is engraved by hand adds an extra touch of sophistication.
These details bring to the KILIAN creation a guarantee of luxury, that should not be ephemeral, but should last a lifetime. That’s why the bottle of this cellar perfume can be refilled indefinitely.
Picture a place so vast, so remote you can journey weeks without encountering another soul. Endless miles of rolling red sand, endless miles of sky. In the unforgiving heat, a lone white tree on the next horizon can feel like an illusion. But the eucalyptus is the oasis, a waystation where tumbleweeds and rusting dust come to settle in the hallowed shade of silver leaves.
This is the inspiration for EUCALYPTUS 20, the unambiguous scent of vastness, where the freshness of eucalyptus and cedarwood is softened by the leathery warmth of labdanum and grounded on a bed of musk notes and frankincense. And so, with this scent comes an invitation: Get off the grid.
A luxurious reinterpretation of the iconic Rosendo Mateu 5, which heightens this bestseller to an unprecedented level of refinement.

Each bottle is the result of a meticulous craftsmanship. The intricate engravings that adorn its back, creates a visual masterpiece that reflects the artistic ability within. The final detail is the zamak cap, delicately engraved which embodies the weight and texture of luxury.
This one is dark. A good, addictive, warm dark, as if the humid summer underwoods, their seeds and resins, were sprinkled with layers of musks and sweetened with drops of vanilla. It evokes the smell of warm skin and resinous wood. The perfumer’s notes say orange flower absolute, the unique cedar atlas, styrax resins, absolute tonka, and musks… We say TONKA 25.

Imagine sitting in solitude on the rugged, wide plains of the American West, firelight on your face, indigo-blue night skies above. There is nothing around save for the soft, desert wind. You. Are. Free.
From this defining vision was born SANTAL 33: a perfume that touches the vast and wild universality of this dream… that intoxicates… It combines a mix of cardamom and notes of iris and violet, which crackle in the formula. Added to this smoking wood alloy (Australian sandalwood, cedarwood) are some spicy, leathery, musky notes, giving this perfume its signature and addictive comforting scent.
Here is, in a few words, what SANTAL 33 is… An open fire… The soft drift of smoke… Where sensuality rises after the light has gone.

The perfume’s aim is clear: to transform the famous Grasse rose, a symbol of voluptuousness and unqualified femininity, into an assertively virile fragrance that can be worn by anyone…
The result is a model of its kind: alternating femininity and masculinity of the Centifolia rose, quickly picked up by a chorus of warm, spicy, and woodsy notes such as cumin, olibanum, cedar, and a touch of amber… In the background, the declared sensuality of Gaïac wood and cistus highlighted by distinctly musky notes, give this perfume a disconcerting sense of mystery.

A natural and one-of-a-kind orange blossom creation that took more than three years to compose. Its innate nobility is enhanced by fresh floral and lemony notes, rounded out by musk and the succulent, sunny touches of bergamot, petit grain, and lemon. This orange blossom has intensity and a delicious ambiguity that gives everyone the absolute power of sensuality.

Truth is… BAIE 19 should have been called Water 19. Not that it smells like nothing (though nothing smells like it), but it has this crisp, wet, drenched effect that water gives to the earth after the rain…
And there’s a word for that, by the way: petrichor. It’s that magical feeling during heavy rain after a long dry spell, and it’s one of the most beautiful olfactive phenomena in nature.
There are many reasons for this, including the ozone in the air, the negative ions, but most importantly the release of oil secretions from certain plants, accumulated after a long dry period. This is what BAIE 19 is about: the dry juniper berry, the patchouli, the green leaves… all soaked by a beautiful, luminous, magnetic rain after a long drought. And the joy that comes with it…
