By Kilian L'Heure Verte EDP

For evenings that call for something atmospheric rather than familiar, By Kilian L'Heure Verte EDP pairs a vivid green impression with polished, earthy woods. Created as a unisex fragrance, it takes inspiration from the traditional French ritual of gathering over an absinthe aperitif and recasts that moment as a contemporary expression of Paris after dark.

Launched in 2021 as part of KILIAN PARIS’s The Liquors collection, L'Heure Verte centres on absinthe, whose aromatic, herbaceous character gives the opening its distinctive edge. Violet leaf and liquorice bring a green, softly sweet quality, keeping the composition intriguing without making it feel one-dimensional. This combination makes it an appealing option for anyone seeking an absinthe-inspired unisex fragrance with a more nuanced character than a straightforward woody scent.

As the scent develops, earthy patchouli and vetiver add depth, while sandalwood brings a smooth woody dimension. Sensual vanilla accords soften the darker, herbal facets and help create a memorable, magnetic trail. The overall effect is layered and expressive, yet atmospheric rather than overpowering: a balance of green, subtly sweet and woody notes that feels composed, distinctive and easy to make your own. If you are looking for a woody green perfume with violet leaf, patchouli and sandalwood, this composition brings those facets together with the unusual presence of absinthe.

Its character suits an evening out, a celebration or an intimate gathering, from a relaxed dinner to a livelier night. The layered profile can also feel especially inviting on cooler evenings, or whenever you want to wear something less expected than familiar woody perfumes. Unisex in style, it leaves room for personal interpretation and expressive styling, making it a considered addition to a fragrance wardrobe rather than a scent tied to one particular occasion.

Choose from 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml, 5 ml or 10 ml fragrance sampling sizes, according to how you prefer to explore a scent. A smaller size lets you experience this KILIAN PARIS absinthe and sandalwood fragrance at your own pace; a larger option offers more to enjoy as part of your regular rotation. If its blend of herbal green notes, earthy woods and softened sweetness speaks to you, L'Heure Verte is a distinctive scent to consider for your next evening.
