Discover Woman in Gold by KILIAN PARIS, a women's Eau de Parfum from The Narcotics collection, blending luminous bergamot and elegant rose with the warmth of tonka bean, vanilla and Akigalawood in a rich floral composition inspired by gold leaf and the interplay of light and shadow.
The official composition opens with Bergamot and Pink Peppercorn, develops into a heart of Rose and Geranium, and settles over Tonka Bean and Akigalawood. KILIAN PARIS also explicitly highlights Vanilla Absolute in the dry-down, adding a rich and sensual creaminess to the fragrance.
The inspiration behind Woman in Gold comes from a painting celebrated for its delicate gold leafing and contrasts of light and shadow. Perfumer Calice Becker translated this visual contrast into sparkling citrus brightness, a multi-faceted rose heart and an enveloping vanilla-woody finish.
Launched in 2017, Woman in Gold is classified by specialist sources as an Oriental Floral fragrance for women, while KILIAN PARIS places it within its floral Narcotics family.
