Inspiration: "A gentleman is someone who never hurts the feelings of others—unintentionally," wrote the visionary Oscar Wilde about this category of men who are not ashamed of being themselves, feel no remorse because they possess perfect self-assurance. Their personality is their charm; they appeal only to those whose refinement they share.
Story: Dark Lord - "EX TENEBRIS LUX" presents itself as a gentleman of the night. We encounter him in strange circumstances, and his mystery gradually unfolds: an intoxicating cocktail of shadows and light that seduces in seconds with its elegant and profound accords of leather and vetiver, its jasmine bouquet infused with rum, and a masterful, dandyish opening blending bergamot and pepper. From darkness to light.
Olfactory notes: Vetiver essence, bergamot essence, pepper essence, rum accord, jasmine absolute, cypriol essence.

4.9 ★★★★★ with over 600 reviewsKilian Paris
Founded in 2007 by Kilian Hennessy, heir to the famous cognac dynasty, KILIAN PARIS has established itself as one of the most daring and luxurious high perfume houses of its time.
Guided by a unique vision of perfume — sensory, artistic and emotional — Kilian imagines creations as objects of desire, designed to seduce, intrigue and provoke.
The house combines heritage of French luxury with rebellious modernity: each fragrance is conceived as a complete olfactory work, at once nocturnal, sensual and refined.
Iconic collections like The Smokes, The Liquors or The Narcotics explore contrasting worlds: intoxication, seduction, light and shadow.
From Love, Don't Be Shy to Good Girl Gone Bad, via Black Phantom or Angels' Share, each fragrance tells a story of passion, freedom and transgression.
True to the house motto – “Don’t be shy, be unforgettable” – KILIAN PARIS celebrates perfume as an art and a living heritage, at once excessive, elegant and eternal.
