Kilian Love, Don't Be Shy EDP

Love, Don’t Be Shy is part of the Kilian Narcotics family. From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia—Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence. The Perfumer is Calice Becker.

This fragrance implores you at the opening with tender orange blossom absolute. Juicy honeysuckle and plush rose are softly caressed by the sweetness of luscious marshmallow sugar accord, satisfying the craving pang of new love. A warm amber base lends a touch of sensuality.

The bottles of Kilian's Narcotics family are adorned with a distinctive white 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."

This innovative refill bottle allows for an easy spill-proof process, with packaging slimmed down for minimal environmental waste. The cutting-edge dispenser stops transferring the perfume automatically once the container is full, to refill easily at home.

‘When I launched my brand in 2007, my goal was to put perfumery back on its pedestal and return it to its former glory, the way perfumery existed in the late 19th century and early 20th century.

For me, perfume is the essential accessory of every man and woman. Each fragrance that I make is imagined and created as the ultimate way to express oneself and all the facets of our unique personalities‘ – Kilian Hennessy

Heir to a long line of cognac makers who were pioneers in luxury, Kilian decided to take up the torch of family tradition. Creating a new luxury brand was definitely a challenge worthy of his predecessors.

His childhood haunts included the family cellars in Cognac. Before graduating from CELSA, he wrote a thesis on the semantics of scent, in search of a ‘language’ common to gods and mortals. Remembering the “angels’ share” as part of his heritage, he was led into the world of perfumery. The “angels’ share” is what the House of Hennessy calls the percentage that – inexplicably – evaporates from cognac cellars, like an offering to the gods.

Many of Kilian’s fragrances today carry this childhood memory as they are reminiscent of the sugar in the alcohol and the wood of the cognac barrels.

1. The fragrance is intensified by the warmth of your body. Make sure to apply in the creases of your knees and elbows for a longer-lasting, stronger scent.
2. Do not rub or sab the skin after applying as this breaks down the fragrance, causing it to wear off more quickly.
3. If you apply the fragrance to your wrist wrists, be sure to reapply after frequent hand-washing, as this will rinse off the scent.
4. Replace the fragrance after 12 months. Most perfumes expire within a year and will lose the integrity of the original scent.
