A word from the expert
Just like his family's cognac business, Kilian Hennessy has also succeeded in creating a luxury brand, but this time built around perfume, which he has been fascinated by ever since he was a child growing up around the family cellars. Amber and woody, Sacred Wood is a deep and refined blended fragrance, created for the label by Calice Becker. It is presented in an elegant black and gold glass bottle, the perfume designer's signature colours.
Product detail
The fragrance:
Sacred Wood paints a portrait of Sandalwood, particularly the most sought-after variety from Mysore, with its simply incredible spicy, woody, and milky facets.
Now banned, Kilian Hennessy recreates his olfactory ideal. Sacred Wood opens with absolute Ambrette seeds and Carrot seed oil for spicy and earthy elements, before unfolding into a multilayered Sandalwood accord with Atlas Cedar oil from Morocco and Amyris oil from the Dominican Republic. Copaiba oil adds warmth with an animalic aspect of Apricot. A malty milky vapor rises like incense, creating an exceptional and lasting trail.
