CDD Global Product Development & Marketing Senior Manager

KILIAN is a fragrance brand created by Kilian Hennessy. When launching his brand Kilians goal was to put perfumery back on its pedestal and return it to its former glory the way perfumery existed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While maintaining this sense of eternity it was also very important for Kilian to add a contemporary twist. As the Kilian brand evolves and matures the one aspect which remains consistent is that each and every product created embodies ultimate sophistication and timeless luxury.
The brand is part of Estee Lauder Companies.
