As one of 50 guests at the enchanting Guardian Angels luncheon held at Saks Fifth Avenue on Thursday, Sept 10, 2009, benefiting Holtz Children’s Hospital, I was mesmerized along with other attendees at the presence of Kilian Hennessy. A serious, yet powerfully articulate young man whose passion is The Art of Perfume. He is the grandson of the founder of Hennessy Cognac, an established luxury brand.
Kilian, although soft-spoken, was immersed in his artful explanation as to why he is so serious about his fragrances. The Frenchman synthesized his concepts of love and passion mixed with century-old ways of creating scents that are long-lasting and unisex. Quite sexy indeed is the packaging of the line. With eight tantalizing perfumes, the black glossy finish on the flasks and small barrels for refills offer an array of allure that will be hard to resist by anyone who recognizes quality and the name, Hennessy.
Kilian has worked for the most respected names in the perfume business like Alberto Morillas, Jacques Cavallier, Thierry Wasseur and Calice Becker. He has worked at such perfume houses as Dior, McQueen and Armani.
Further telling us about what truly inspires him, Kilian shared with us that going to the Baccarat Museum in Paris is a must-see for those that wish to partake in the same experience of the history for the glass which houses his fragrances. The museum has glass pieces designed by product and designer of interiors, Phillipe Starck entitled “Darkside”. Kilian added that the scents contain Vanilla, which is said to be an aphrodisiac.
While at the luncheon we tried from The Temptations Series-”Liasons Dangereuses (typical me),” which is light and airy and then the musky, “Straight to Heaven (white cristal),” from The Artificial Paradises Series. I really love the first which is incredible! Only some stores will carry his line, so it is very exclusive. He will be creating his final two fragrances in the next two to three years. These have taken five years to create. This is true devotion to finesse!
