Kilian Hennessy's Inspiration:
Sacred Wood by KILIAN PARIS conjures the mythical side of a fragrant wood leading East, honoring both nature's sensory pleasures through the art of perfumes as well as one of the most coveted—and forbidden—perfume ingredients in the world: sandalwood from Mysore, India.
The Perfume:
The fragrance recreates the incredible complexity of this raw material, drawing an olfactive loop around its spicy, woodsy and milky facets making it a cult ingredient in modern perfumery and ancient Eastern ritual. Opening with Ambrette Seed Absolute and Carrot Seed Oil for a touch of earth and spice, the fragrance unfolds into a deep sandalwood accord: Amyris Oil, a powerful woody note blends with Cedarwood. Myrrh and Copahu Balsam Oil add warmth as well as a balmy aspect, a malted milk vapor lifting the senses like incense.
Perfume notes:Amyris, Sandalwood, Copahu balm.
Olfactive family: The Cellars.
Perfumer: Calice Becker.
KILIAN PARIS. Sacred Wood
A lot of attention is taken in each bottle of KILIAN PARIS refillable perfume, to make them real precious objects. The perfume bottles of the fresh citrus family are adorned with a distinctive Klein blue 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 silvery 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 PARIS 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.
