Fragrance

Inspired by Kilian Hennessy. Sacred Wood recreates the complex scent of the world’s most coveted — and forbidden — perfumery ingredient: Mysore sandalwood. The fragrance was born from the idea of revealing the sacred symbolism of aromatic Eastern woods and paying tribute to nature’s extraordinary gifts through the art of perfumery. The fragrance. Ambrette seed absolute and carrot seed oil unveil the earthy facets of a wood known since ancient times. Kilian masterfully blended the freshest and brightest cedarwood oils in the world, sourced from China and Morocco (harvested in the Atlas Mountains), to recreate the rich woody note of Mysore sandalwood. Combined with the sweet, warm floral nuances of amyris at the heart, this unique woody accord offers a truly paradisiacal experience. Notes of myrrh and copaiba oil reveal sensual balsamic facets, like an intoxicating milky vapor swirling overhead, reminiscent of incense. Fragrance notes: amyris, sandalwood, Tolu balsam, copaiba balsam. Fragrance family: Cognac. The many facets of woods — from sandalwood and cedar to patchouli and vetiver — are always accompanied by unexpected accents of rum, coffee, cocoa, cognac, or whisky, evoking the heritage of Kilian Hennessy. Perfumer: Calice Becker. Sacred Wood belongs to the Cognac fragrance family. Each refillable KILIAN PARIS bottle is a masterpiece of the highest quality, crafted with exceptional attention to detail.
