A clandestine meeting in an opulent library, where the scent of fresh flowers mingles with the musty aroma of old books and the subtle warmth of sandalwood.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Liaisons Dangereuses by By Kilian was launched in 2007 and is a Chypre Fruity fragrance created by renowned perfumer Calice Becker. This scent opens with the bright, juicy notes of peach, plum, and black currant, which are balanced by the rich warmth of coconut and rose. The heart introduces geranium and ambrette (musk mallow), adding a powdery floral touch that contrasts beautifully against the woody base notes of cinnamon, musk, sandalwood, oak moss, vetiver, vanilla, amber, and cedar. This composition is both sweet and complex, evoking the sense of a forbidden romance where each note whispers secrets and hints at deeper emotions.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a lasting impression. The fruity top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so allow it a moment to settle into its powdery floral heart before venturing out. It pairs well with an evening ensemble where its rich base notes can be fully appreciated.

Flowers inside a bottle of eau de cologne

Calice Becker (Asancheyev-Becker) is a French master perfumer and director of the Givaudan Perfumery School, whose fascination with perfume began as a child asking how flowers get inside a bottle of eau de cologne.

“I like to add a dose of intrigue because nothing catches the attention of a touch of something unexpected.”
