Kilian Hennessy, heir to the French cognac dynasty, founded By Kilian (now Kilian Paris) in 2007 after studying communications and writing a thesis on the semantics of odors. He trained alongside some of the industry's most respected perfumers before launching his own house with an initial collection of ten fragrances organized around life's dualities. The brand quickly distinguished itself through opulent compositions grouped into five olfactive families — The Fresh, The Narcotics, The Cellars, The Smokes, and The Liquors — presented in ornate, refillable flacons. The refill system, a founding concept of the house, reflected Hennessy's belief that luxury should be sustainable. Estée Lauder Companies acquired By Kilian in 2016, with Hennessy continuing to direct the brand's creative vision from Paris.
