On Your Wrist:

• Spray your wrist, not too close and not too far.
• When you are testing, leave it to dry naturally, i.e. don’t rub your your wrist with a finger (to prevent contamination).
• Without touching the wrist with your nose, inhale the perfume.
• Allow the fragrance to develop over time and periodically refer back to enjoy how the scent develops and changes.
• During this time, try to avoid washing your wrists or splashing water onto them.
• Don’t apply another fragrance in the same area until you have thoroughly washed your hands and you are sure they are scent free.

On the Back of Your Hand or on your lower Arm:

• After reading the previous section, you may be delighted that we suggest the back of the hand or the lower arm.
• They may be more uncommon areas for fragrance testing, but are much more practical, as they are easier to smell.
• For the next steps, follow the same procedure that we outlined under the ‘wrist’ section above.

Heir to a long line of cognac makers who were pioneers in luxury, Kilian decided to take up the torch of family tradition. Creating a new luxury brand was definitely a challenge worthy of his predecessors. Many of Kilian’s fragrances today carry this childhood memory as they are reminiscent of the sugar in the alcohol and the wood of the cognac barrels.
