About Kilian
Kilian Paris, founded by Kilian Hennessy in 2007, sits at the intersection of luxury and niche perfumery. Now part of Estee Lauder. Love Don't Be Shy and Good Girl Gone Bad are cult favourites. Retail prices range from £175 to £250.
We cut the celebrity endorsement, the department store concession, and the brand licence. The difference goes back into the formula.

The difference between a Kilian original and a TFW inspired-by fragrance is not quality. It is branding. Raw materials account for 3-8% of a designer fragrance's retail price. The remaining 92-97% covers celebrity endorsements, department store margins, packaging design, and brand licensing. The Fragrance World removes those costs and invests in the formulation itself.
