New Fragrance: By Kilian To Launch 'Sweet Redemption'

By Kilian (the luxury niche fragrance line established by Kilian Hennessy, grandson of the founder of the Hennessy cognac company which now is part of luxury conglomerate LVMH - Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) will launch Sweet Redemption, the 10th and final perfume in the L'Oeuvre Noire collection.

The notes include: orange blossom, vanilla, myrrh, opopanax, benzoin and incense. The sweet powdery woods fragrance is going to be available in 30 ml and 50 ml bottles Eau de Parfum.

Press release:

"Co mposed within the 'temptations' theme, 'Sweet Redemption' is the last chapter of Kilian's olfactive odyssey. I nspired  on one hand by Baudelaire's homage to sweet and deep fragrances, yet on the other hand by the dark and mysterious poetry of Jim Morrison as he seemingly forebode his own demise. 'Sweet Redemption' is a final bow to these cursed poets, a final commentary on the irresistible charm of the forbidden fruit that tempts us throughout the 'L'Oeuvre Noire'. This redemption, this liberation, becomes even more desired when we learn of its intensity… the innocence of orange blossom… the roughness of the sour orange leaf absolute… the sweetness of the vanilla absolute. The dry down is composed with a strong balsamic ‐ almost religious ‐ accord built around myrrh,incense and benzoin."
