The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the aroma of fresh coffee mingles with a hint of sweetness.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023 and crafted by perfumer Honorine Blanc, Princess Eau Fraîche by By Kilian is a floral fruity gourmand that captures the essence of freshness and sweetness. The fragrance opens with a bright citrus burst, immediately followed by a fresh spicy accord that adds an invigorating edge. As it settles, the scent reveals its powdery, aromatic heart, creating a delicate balance between crisp green notes and subtle sweetness.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points and let it settle for a few minutes. The citrus top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so you'll want to ensure that the powdery base has time to develop. This fragrance is best worn in the morning or early afternoon when its freshness can truly shine.
