By Kilian Flower of Immortality is the third fragrance in the Asian Tales Collection, which will eventually feature five fragrances. Kilian pays homage to the Chinese tale “A Tale of the Fountain of the Peach Blossom Spring” and to the peach blossom itself. The peach blossom is believed to have the power to bewitch the human soul and make it immortal.
Kilian Hennessy launched By Kilian in 2007. Yup, the Cognac Hennessy, grandson to the founder of Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton Group, he followed his interest in scent, writing his thesis on the semantics of odors. After spending time with leading perfumers, he launched By Kilian with the Collection L'oeuvre Noire (Black Masterpiece) series. There are now 10 fragrances in that series. The over-the-top marketing copy drew a lot of criticism in the early part of his launch, but the gorgeous packaging - black lacquer boxes and black bottles - started to win us over, as did the artistry of the fragrances.
