From the brand -
"KILIAN PARIS presents its new limited edition summer perfume, inspired by monoi oil and tiare flower infused in coconut oil: Sunkissed Goddess. Our founder revisited this Polynesian elixir to give it an unparalleled radiance with floral notes as fresh as they are captivating that revive the sensory memories associated with the summer season. A fragrance that evokes the smells of summer, of tanning oil and the warmth of the sun radiating on the skin.
"The fragrance opens with this happy marriage between a white tiaré with delicious creaminess and a terribly sensual essence of ylang-ylang, before giving way to the warm roundness of coconut and vanilla, and ending with notes of guaiac and labdanum cistus, two emblematic scents that KILIAN PARIS loves for their resinous character, their energy and their persistent charm.."
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. Collection Arabian Nights was launched in 2009, Asian Tales in 2012, and In the Garden of Good & Evil will launch fall 2012.
Fragrantica - "By Kilian LOVE THE WAY YOU FEEL. If you missed the original, this is the re-released version right here. nearly IDENTICAL. (the difference is the bit of bright citrus..bergamot? in the opening, but it’s not significant enough to not claim them identical). Fabulous Monoi with Ylang Yang: Tropical, Coconut, Tiare with sweet Ylang Ylang. Looking for a beachy coconut hit for 2024. This."
Fragrantica - "This scent literally is like coming home from the beach. Tropical, Dewy, Sweet, Coconut!!!!!, monoi oil, everything that makes you feel like you’re watching a sunset on the beach. my mother smelled it on me and already put in a preorder. if you like tropical scents, this is a MUST"
Fragrantica - "It smells like sunscreen in the best way possible. Will purchase a full bottle when it hits the shelve. Sweet, coconut, neroli.. this smells like u just got home from the beach."
