By Kilian Her Majesty ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 2 January 2026 6 Comments

French niche line By Kilian has launched Her Majesty, billed as the brand's first chypre fragrance. Her Majesty joins the Narcotic Flowers collection, and was inspired by a walk in Kyoto while the cherry blossoms were in bloom. 

A modern chypre fragrance where rose, peach and woods blend in sensual harmony.

Her Majesty by KILIAN PARIS is a regal scent that pairs the power of Damascena rose with velvety peach and a splash of rich rum. This contemporary take on the classic chypre structure is enhanced by woody elegance and musky warmth. Perfect for those who embrace feminine strength with a luxurious, radiant twist.

The fragrance opens with juicy fruit and rum, revealing a heart of Damascena rose and soft peach. Ambrette adds a captivating warmth, while papyrus and cedar create an elegant, lingering woody trail.​

Her Majesty was developed by perfumer Caroline Dumur. Additional notes include aquatic accord and oakmoss.

By Kilian Her Majesty is available now at Parfuma in Antwerp, in 50 or 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

      It’s not in the description so maybe it is only very faintly watery?

      Same reaction. Although, as Robin said, they are mentioned afterwards, so maybe it is still going to smell good? I want to try this.

    I’m with LTSG on aquatic notes. YUCK! I amplify them, too, so it’s even worse.
