By Kilian Noir Aphrodisiaque is a unisex Oriental woody fragrance. It is a limited edition fragrance in the Arabian Nights collection and is available only at By Kilian boutiques. Launched in 2016 at the Paris Boutique and created by Calice Becker, it has notes of bergamot, cinnamon, dark chocolate, jasmine, iris and citron.  A dark, not sweet, chocolate layered over jasmine and cinnamon. Beautiful.

Kilian Hennessy launched by Kilian in 2007. Yup, that 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.
