About the Fragrance
With Flower of Immortality, Kilian
pays homage to the Chinese tale “A Tale of the Fountain of the Peach
Blossom Spring”. It is recounted that a fisherman from Wu Ling loses his
way along a stream and, unexpectedly, finds himself rowing alongside a
lush peach tree forest. He decides to explore further and, at the end of
the forest, lands at the fountainhead of the stream. There, he
disembarks and just steps beyond, discovers a haven of peace, a utopian
paradise where people live apart from the exterior world.
For Kilian, Flower of Immortality is, above all, an olfactory
homage to the peach blossom and its very strong symbolism in China. This
blossom, whose pink petals are unveiled only in the middle of the
winter, is believed to have the power to bewitch the human soul and to
make it immortal. It is the set of symbols and myths that surround the
flower that Kilian wanted to recreate in this new fragrance.
Flower of Immortality was composed as the memory of the utopian
paradise, where the fragrance of peach blossoms brings a promise of
hospitality and immortality. The smooth and juicy scent of White Peach,
interweaved by the sweet and powdery notes of Carrot and Iris. A
dazzling breeze of Blackcurrant Bud absolute refreshes while the
exquisite Rose Crystal is softened by the Tonka Bean and the scent of
Vanilla beans drying in the sun.
