Rekindle small fires in the darkest of nights, under blackest night skies that hold the brightest stars.
Languid honey laced with sweet spices mingles with mysterious smoky incense essence and vanilla absolute, making Back to Black a nourishingly yet addictive substance. Blue camomile and cedarwood are veiled in smoke. A sandalwood note creates a gourmand tobacco harmony–a true titillation for the senses.

Founded over a decade ago in 2007 by Kilian Hennessy, KILIAN launched with an opus of ten fragrances recounting love and its prohibitions, sin and innocence, darkness and light—dualities that continue to shape KILIAN creations, aesthetics and storytelling.
Today, KILIAN offers a menu of fragrances within four olfactive families—The Fresh, The Narcotics, The Cellars and The Smokes. From the dark cognac cellars of his childhood memories, to Paris most elegant evenings where desires roam free…KILIAN explores the very space that fragrance touches so powerfully, invisibly, and irrevocably.
