Smells that make you wana Rejoice!

So the number 1 spot for my first perfumery entry has to go to the "by Kilian" range. Consisting of 9 unique but all equally olfactory appealing fragrances, this line is definitely ground-breaking as far as the world of perfumery goes.

The french perfumer who comes from a long line of cognac-makers has definitely added the art of brandy making and turned me into a perfumaholic! Also being the grandson of the founder of the LVMH group he decided to carry on with the family tradition and go into the world of luxury goods.......and thank god he did, otherwise we would not be blessed with the heavenly smells this scent connoisseur creates. After smelling just one of his nine perfumes there is no doubt as to why he has worked with major fashion houses such as 'Giorgio Armani,' 'Paco Rabanne,' 'Alexander Mcqueen,' and 'Christian Dior.'

As a buyer of kilian's unisex 'Invitation:Prelude To Love' i do have to say this scent makes me want to constantly sit there and sniff, sniff, sniff, myself all day. If i didn't come across looking rather strange and just plain "Loco" to passers-by i probably would, because it's a smell that i can truly say is a treat for the skin and an orgasim for the nose! It is describes "as a splash of crimson blossoms across the cheeks and hearts beat wildly, a refined yet bold bouquet of the noblest citrus soothes and refreshes mounting sensations of exhilaration."

The "by Kilian" range does only reside mainly in france and 'Harvey Nichols' department store in the UK, so if you are not a constant roamer of Knightsbridge, i suggest you become one. However the price point is probably what will turn most people away. With a 50ml bottle averaging out to about £140 there is no wonder as to why many peoples ears have not been treated to the Kilian tale.......and such fairytale items all 9 fragrances are. Do not let the price put you off otherwise you'll be missing out the best thing you'll ever apply to your skin.......Trust my Testimony ;-)

P.S The black quilted casing with lock and key (good for any "swagga jackers" that reside in your home) the fragrances come in are to die for and just another little bonus you get from the one expensive purchase you'll never regret.



Well this is it!
