Moonlight in Heaven

• Romantic
• Casual

Moonlight in Heaven is set on an imagined island, under soft, unreal moonlight. Nothing is quite real, everything is more beautiful, smoother, like a memory you make up. The heat of the day lingers, the fruit is ripe, the air is still. A perfect moment, almost too good to be true.

From the opening, mango comes through bright and juicy, with a touch of citrus that adds sparkle. Fresh but already sunny, like a night that still holds the warmth of the day.

Then the fragrance turns softer and cosier. Coconut and rice bring a creamy, almost milky texture that gives it a lasting sense of comfort and softness.

Over time, Moonlight in Heaven stays on the skin as a soft, lightly woody warmth. The signature is luminous, soothing and sensual, like a summer night.

Kilian Paris is a perfume house founded in 2007 by Kilian Hennessy, an eighth-generation direct descendant of Richard Hennessy, founder of the cognac house of the same name, and grandson of the patriarch who oversaw the creation of LVMH. A heritage he chose to honour in his own way, by taking a radically personal direction. It all began with a final-year dissertation at Celsa on the semantics of scent, then training alongside the greatest noses, Jacques Cavallier and Thierry Wasser, before years spent at Dior and Armani. The decision to create his own house came from a visit to the Baccarat museum: faced with a century of perfumery condensed into bottles that were objects in their own right, Kilian realised that something had been lost along the way. He handed in his resignation the next day. His founding conviction fits into one sentence: 'True luxury should be eternal.' Every Kilian Paris bottle has been refillable from day one, in 2007, long before sustainability became a selling point. The collections are organised around dualities of sin and innocence, light and darkness, love and the forbidden, all across four olfactory families: Fresh Citrus, Narcotic Flowers, Cellar Woods and Smoke Trails. Angels' share pays tribute to the vapours of the Cognac cellars of his childhood. Love Don’t Be Shy – Extreme has become a modern classic of sensual vanilla. Kilian Paris perfumes all carry a story and fully live up to their motto: Don't be shy.
