The Cocktails by Kilian Paris: wear your next cocktail
An Espresso Martini after dinner, a Kir Royal for the first toast, a Piña Colada that makes you think of vacations. With The Cocktails, Kilian Paris brings the art of mixology to your skin: three Eau de Parfum that transform iconic cocktails into olfactory compositions with a distinct character.
Midnight Espresso, Sparkling Royal, and Piña Paraíso are the three protagonists of the new collection. What unites them is the pleasure of pairing: freshness meets sweetness, fruity notes intertwine with creamy ones, and Rum accords add depth. Just like in a well-crafted cocktail, every element contributes to the final balance.
Midnight Espresso: after-dinner takes a new direction
Inspired by the Espresso Martini and signed by Mathieu Nardin, Midnight Espresso explores the amber and gourmand side of the collection.
The opening combines Coffee and Rum, giving the composition an intense character. In the heart, Chocolate and Hazelnut introduce a warm sweetness, while Bourbon Vanilla and Siam Benzoin accompany the base with a soft, velvety sensation.
This is the fragrance to start with if you are drawn to Coffee notes and rich gourmands with a boozy nuance. Its atmosphere recalls an extended after-dinner: low lights, music, and no rush to leave.
Sparkling Royal: the scent of the first toast
Sparkling Royal interprets the Kir Royal through a fresh, fruity, and floral composition created by Calice Becker.
Mint and Lemon open the fragrance with vibrancy. The heart of Blackcurrant and Rose adds a fruity and floral dimension before giving way to the softness of Tonka Bean and Musk.
The cocktail idea emerges in the contrast between the initial freshness and the more enveloping character of the base. Sparkling Royal may suit the taste of those looking for a luminous fragrance who also appreciate a sweet component. Its imagery is that of an aperitif: the first glass, the city changing light, an evening still full of possibilities.
Piña Paraíso: a tropical interlude on the skin
With Piña Paraíso, Mathieu Nardin translates the Piña Colada into a fruity, floral, and gourmand perfume.
Pineapple and Rum introduce the composition, followed by a heart of Coconut and Frangipani. The base of Bourbon Vanilla and Tonka Bean prolongs the fragrance's warm and creamy sensation.
This is a direction to explore if you love Coconut, tropical fruit, and vanilla notes. The inspiration invites you to imagine the sun on your skin and an afternoon sliding into sunset: an atmosphere to carry with you even when vacations feel far away.
Which cocktail should you start with?
The choice depends on the notes that intrigue you most. Midnight Espresso focuses on Coffee and gourmand sweetness; Sparkling Royal plays with Mint, Blackcurrant, and Rose; Piña Paraíso chooses the tropical creaminess of Pineapple and Coconut.
Three different interpretations to discover on your skin and let evolve. Because even a perfume, like the cocktail you choose, can tell something about your mood.
