The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2011 and crafted by perfumer Calice Becker, Sweet Redemption by By Kilian is an Oriental Floral fragrance that seamlessly blends sweet and balsamic notes with a warm spicy undertone. The composition opens with bright citrus, which gives way to a heart of white florals before settling into a rich base of vanilla and amber. This unisex scent embodies the elegance and sophistication for which By Kilian is known.

How to wear it

Apply Sweet Redemption to pulse points for the best longevity. The citrus top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so aim for areas like your wrists and neck where warmth can help carry them. The base notes will settle in over time, providing a rich warmth that lingers throughout the day.

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.”
