Kilian Hennessy, heir to the Hennessy cognac family, is a perfumer whose fragrances come in swanky black packaging. He looks kind of faux-decadent, in a good way. I would totally go shopping with him, at the very least. Here is Hint Magazine‘s description of his newest perfume, called “Prelude to Love: Invitation.”
Prelude to Love: Invitation ($225 for 50 ml, $2,500 for a liter barrel) keeps lockstep with its brethren in its ridiculous name and orgiastic theme, but it’s instantly forgivable once we smell the contents. Inspired by a Rimbaud poem, it’s flavored like a leaf-flavored pastille pierced with lemon pepper, an off-limits candy greenness reminiscent of when you start to feel naughty down there. At Bergdorf Goodman.
Hahahaha! Check out his other “quietly lewd” fragrances here.
the copy writer how wrote ‘an off-limits candy greenness reminiscent of when you start to feel naughty down there’ needs to give The Despot a call, I could do with a spare set of nibble fingers!!!!!
By all means lead the charge…I’d be interested to here if you got a response!
oops should read ‘who wrote’…
“Rum, a life-giving alcohol” – if the life they are talking about is the one conceived after mummy and daddy downed that one litre keg of rum, I mean “A Taste of Heaven”. The fact that it comes in a keg does make me suspicious that old Kilian has just bottled up a few gallons of cheap rum and packaged it as fragrance.
Gawd, it comes off as so desperate! And he looks like a greasy Lothario!
The copy-writer dropped acid before writing that thing.
wow, he looks like a velasquez painting of one of those naughty priests.
fashionherald, thanks for seeing this quality. I’m sure there is spanking involved, one way or another.
Can we create a fragrance called Apres Spank: The Sting? It will be “redolent of stinging nettles, with basenotes of aloe and cortisone creme.”
he he he he (girly laugh with hand over mouth japanese style0
he he he.
xx
The Sting is a totally good idea. It should be in a fleshy pink-colored bottle.
this is fantastic. I’m sold! I’ll buy the perfume and the copywriter’s services. The words – lockstep, brethren and orgiastic in one short sentence? oh me oh my.
he’s so sexy vampire.
