The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by By Kilian, Love by Kilian Rose and Oud Special Blend is a creation by perfumer Calice Becker that juxtaposes the warmth of rose and oud with powdery sweetness. The top note of neroli brings a fresh, citrusy brightness, which gives way to a heart of agarwood (oud), rose, iris, and jasmine sambac. These notes are enveloped in a base of marshmallow, vanilla, and musk, creating an aroma that is both luxurious and intimate. This fragrance captures the essence of By Kilian's commitment to eco-luxe parfum, blending traditional scents with modern sophistication.
Given its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, apply one or two sprays to pulse points. The fragrance blooms over time, so it's best experienced close to the skin rather than from across a room.
