Launched in 2015, The Lotus Flower and the King Dragon by By Kilian is an aromatic citrus fragrance for both women and men. Created by perfumer Calice Becker, it opens with a fresh spicy burst that quickly gives way to a balsamic heart. This composition contrasts the crispness of citruses with rich, warm notes, making it feel like two different fragrances in one bottle depending on the hour.
