Kilian is the fragrance house founded by perfumer and businessman Kilian Hennessy, a member of the Hennessy cognac family. The brand is known for its niche positioning and travel-friendly bottle designs, balancing accessible luxury with serious olfactory creativity.

Princess opens with a bright burst of bergamot and green tea, immediately softened by marshmallow for a gourmand introduction. The heart deepens this direction with ginger and iris joining the green tea and marshmallow, creating a slightly spiced sweetness rather than a straight candy scent. The base settles into amber, marshmallow, and musk, which keeps the fragrance anchored and powdery rather than sticky. The overall character is fresh gourmand -- it reads as genuinely sweet but with enough green tea bitterness and ginger spice to prevent cloying.

Princess works for anyone drawn to gourmand fragrances who wants something more refined than typical candy scents. The green tea and ginger prevent it from feeling juvenile, while the creamy marshmallow base makes it wearable across seasons. It suits casual daytime wear through to evening, though it performs best in cooler weather when gourmands tend to shine. Try it if you enjoy The Romantic, The Heirloom, and The Homesteader.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Green Tea
Green Tea
Marshmallow
Marshmallow
Soft, sweet, and powdery, marshmallow in perfumery is the idealized version: light, airy sweetness without the tooth-coating heaviness of the actual confection. It has a slight vanilla-musk quality that feels cozy and clean. Often used as a softening agent in florals and orientals to add approachable sweetness.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Ginger
Ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
Green Tea
Green Tea
Iris
Iris
One of perfumery's most prized and expensive ingredients, iris has a powdery, cool, almost carrot-like richness that is hard to describe and impossible to mistake. It's simultaneously earthy and refined, like the inside of an old Parisian couture house. Iris root (orris) adds quiet luxury to anything it touches.
Marshmallow
Marshmallow
Soft, sweet, and powdery, marshmallow in perfumery is the idealized version: light, airy sweetness without the tooth-coating heaviness of the actual confection. It has a slight vanilla-musk quality that feels cozy and clean. Often used as a softening agent in florals and orientals to add approachable sweetness.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.

Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
