Back to Black-by Kilian

September 2009:

Launch of the 8th scent of “L’Oeuvre Noire” By Kilian

New Fragrance for Men & Women

Embracing the theme of the « Artificial Paradises », Back to black: aphrodisiac, the 8th fragrance of « L’Oeuvre Noire », has been created to be an olfactive aphrodisiac, using the narcotic lure of tobacco.

After Prelude to Love: invitation, which explored the olfactive emotions of a first encounter through a citrus composition, Back to black: aphrodisiac marks the return to a more audacious family composed with influences from the past, yet reinterpreted with a modern touch in a very personal way.

Back to black: aphrodisiac is an olfactive composition built on notes that range from honey to fruity, to woody and ambery, combined to reconstitute a “tobacco” accord.

Olfactive description

The freshness of the Bergamot contrasted by the heat of the spices – Nutmeg, Cardamom and Coriander – creates an elegant yet unusual opening. A touch of fruit – Raspberry – and a hint of aromatic note – Blue Chamomile – accentuate the originality of the top.

The heart is composed with the Honey from Laos, the Oliban from Somalia and with rich and sensual woods – Cedar from the Atlas and Vetyver from Haiti. A few notes of Oakmoss and Patchouli coat this woody marquetry.

This “Tobacco” composition is further intensified by powerful ambery notes – Cistus labdanum from Spain – reinforced with a soft accord of powdery vanilla – Vanilla from Bourbon islands and bitter Almond – which provide the power and tenacity to the perfume.
